Farage’s Choice Morsels- “Christians,” and Gossiping Liars…

By Indybag For people who run about the place raising flegs with so called christian crosses, Reform, Raise the Flag, Restore and the various capital R right wing groups seem to miss out massive chunks of the Bible that cut right through modern digital noise. Long before billionaires bought up social media networks and right-wing […]

A Better Activism

By Neil Scott I took this of the brilliant activist Violet Fox 11 years ago- I recorded an interview with Violet for a podcast. This was a time I was doing my bit to widen the SSP’s contact with important activism across Scotland- support without controlling- something I admired about the idea of the SSP- […]

Nu-Thatcherism to the Putinist Model

The political entity currently known as Reform UK presents itself as a radical departure from the established order, yet a closer inspection reveals it to be a rebranding of the most regressive elements of British political history. It is the ideological heir to the hard-right Thatcherism of the 1980s and the exclusionary nationalism of Enoch […]

THE REFORM CHEAT SHEET

SPOT THE TORY GRIFT ​Don’t be fooled by the cyan tie. Reform UK is just a “recycled” Tory party designed to sneak the same old rot back into Holyrood. Here is the reality. ​1. THE TEAM SHEET (Follow the Bloodline) ​Reform isn’t a new movement. It is a shell company for ex-Tories who can’t get […]

Take Back Control: How Farage is Fooling Us.

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 […]

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 […]
