A Warning From the Past: They are Liars.

In 2014- THEY Lied. By Neil Scott ​A Facebook memory slid onto my timeline from April 2014. A headline before the Independence Referendum of September that year. A headline many of us seized on to show where Westminster had brought us to. It feels like a memory from a lost age, a time when we […]

Sarwar: the Millionaire Charade

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 […]

Reform: The Tory B Team.

By Indybag ​If you listen to the shouty men on the telly or the grifters on X, they’ll tell you that Reform UK is a new force coming to shake up the establishment. They talk about taking the country back and standing for the real folk against the Westminster elite. But pull back the curtain […]

The Gilded Lottery Lie: Farage’s Dodgy Energy Gimmick

Under the flickering neon of a digital age cost-of-living crisis, Nigel Farage emerged with the “Nigel Cut My Bills” campaign, a tawdry piece of political theatre designed to mask a brutal neoliberal agenda behind a mask of faux-charity. In a country where millions are shivering in damp flats, Reform UK offered the ultimate bread-and-circuses distraction: […]

The Baron, the Millionaires, the Bosses, and the Bitter Betrayal of the duped Reform Rank and File

By our Political Correspondent ​The stinking hypocrisy of the Scottish Right is curdling. What we are witnessing today with Reform UK in Scotland is not a political movement: it is a grotesque capitalist circus. It is a pantomime of the powerful, orchestrated by a multi-millionaire Baron to silence anyone who does not fit the corporate […]

Indybag: We MUST Beat Reform to a Pulp

Since the high point of 2014, the political landscape in Scotland has taken a fucking battering. We started as a grassroots, left-leaning movement for a better country, but a decade later we’re looking at a fragmented mess where some folk are more interested in reactionary “culture wars” than actually fixing the politucally created poverty our […]

Indybag: Stop giving our streets over to stupid

I took a walk through Glasgow’s Maryhill area earlier today. Storm Amy had brought down a few trees, some older than my grandads da’, and a few black bins and rubble were in places they shouldn’t be. And many of the flags- the ones the racists put up- the beautiful Inclusive saltires that had been […]
