When will the penny drop that No-one is entitled to our votes, that we need politicians with an ear to the ground, not the right wing. When I think of the years 2013/14 I think of one of those Penny Pusher machines from amusement arcades, representative of voters and members tumbling like freed coins from […]
A collection of unhinged rants from David (@davomc82) about Keir Starmer, Elgin Marbles and Racist Immigration Rules interspersed with chats with Val Waldron (@valscribbles) and Connor Beaton (@cdbeaton) about 2023 becoming 2024.
Not a week goes by in Scottish politics when the decision to vote No in 2014 does not rear its ugly head. November 2023, the Scottish Broadcasting Company reports growing unrest south of the border. Massive crowds are gathering daily outside Westminster, demanding an end to Tory rule, following emergency legislation allowing the  General Election […]
This Sunday SNP delegates will gather in Aberdeen to decide our strategy for the next Westminster election. We meet after a disastrous result at the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election, and I expect there will be some lively conversations! Social media has been awash with speculation about why the SNP lost so badly, but I […]
By Willie Miller’s Moustache (@williemillersM1 on Twitter/X) I went on a massive “everything is fucked and we have no way of influencing” it rant the other day. I had been drinking, obvs and I was expanding on my time since I stopped sending the SNP money in early 2020. We had won an enormous fuck […]
Only a referendum is going to fairly represent the people in terms of votes. Humza Yousaf has previously indicated his preference for building the movement until it’s impossible to ignore us.

The obstacles to our independence are not all about media-led rabid unionism, or floating voters. We have a problem within the movement, something really toxic. It resembles a kind of auto-immune disease, a drive to eat away at the host and make barren the soil it depends on; the movement itself. The dreaded anniversary of […]
