by Sam Hamad If Netanyahu is defeated, there’s going to be a lot of gushing by the more clever members of the Support the Genocide Coalition and other birdbrained liberals, who will conveniently forget that the main opposition to him is every bit as racist, fascistic and genocidal as Netanyahu, namely because Israel is a […]
How Reform Hides Behind Your Phone Screen By Indybag The shift in politics from loudhailers on the town square to the private screen in your pocket is the biggest tactical move we’ve seen in years. For Reform UK, this isn’t just a preference. It is a survival -and perhaps a winning- strategy. By bypassing the […]
By Neil Scott Watching Kneecap’s eloquent, beautiful short film, Irish Goodbye felt less like watching a music video and more like delving into my own grief and facing the void left by a parent’s death. Therapy, in a way. Seeing someone else’s grief, and understanding we aren’t alone. As someone who grew up surrounded by […]

The collapse of Jeremy Corbyn’s ‘Your Party’ in Scotland was perhaps as predictable as a North Sea haar, yet its demise offers a brutal autopsy of the perennial tensions between an 18th Century London-centric idealism and the reality of Scottish political autonomy. The recent mass resignation of the Scottish interim executive, spearheaded by figures like […]
Sarwar’s Dodgy Deal By our Political Correspondent. The Scottish Leaders’ Debate on April 14, 2026, was no theatre of ideas. It was a political necropsy performed in real-time under the cold glare of the studio lights. Amidst the usual tawdry point-scoring and the SNP’s increasingly desperate defensive crouch, a single, radioactive allegation from Malcolm Offord […]
