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 […]

For me… A clear winner…
By Damien Donnelly Tory/Reform No-Show… Almost exactly ten years ago (March 2016), I attended the first ever ‘LGBTI+ hustings’ for Scottish Parliament elections in Edinburgh. It was at this event that Nicola Sturgeon stated the SNP’s intention to reform gender recognition in Scotland, including recognition of non-binary identities. The legalisation of same-sex marriage was just […]
Indybag- The Red Tories’ New Wedge: Sarwar, Starmer, Mandelson and the Ghost of 2017
I’ve sat in draughty community halls from Easterhouse to Maryhill for thirty years, and I’ve seen some shit in my time. I’ve seen the “vanguard” cults try to hijack local strikes and the middle-class “missionaries” come into our schemes to lecture us on solidarity before jumping into a taxi back to their Bearsden bungalows and […]
Scottish Independence Parties: Labour’s Pandering to Farage is Paving the Way for the Far Right to Roll in Fascism
By our Political Correspondent The Scottish Yes Parties have issued blistering warnings that Labour’s increasingly harsh rhetoric on immigration, refugees, and asylum is doing nothing but fuelling a dangerous lurch to the right in Westminster, directly benefiting the far-right agenda of Nigel Farage. The SNP, Scottish Greens and SSP have reiterated that instead of tackling […]

Jackie Baillie, 5 gallons of chicken gravy and a straw
Willie Miller’s Moustache (Twitter: @williemillersm1) has a plan to bring the progressive indy movement together… Right you fucking idiots. Everyone who supports independence one straight line in front of me, GO! Turn to your right. Kick that moron up the arse. Turn to your left, boot that pillock too. Now repeat, but with hugs not […]
Starmer’s “Progressive” Labour?
Do these Starmerite ‘progressives’ believe in democracy? If so, why are you opposing democracy in Scotland? Why are you endorsing your Leader’s will to collude with the Tories in curtailing Scottish self-determination? Why is it that Labour can’t get it right? It’s either some Stalinist psychopath dressed like a sexually repressed geography teacher or a […]
Has Labour gone full Tonto? by Chris McCusker
Now, more than ever socialists need to question their loyalties towards the Labour party under the stewardship of a knight of the realm. The treatment of Ken Loach & other ‘Lefties’ within the UK Labour party should have been predicted in the treatment doled out to Jeremy Corbyn. Whilst I had high hopes for Corbyn […]
Scotland’s Love for Labour, Lost?
On Labour’s travails A week, as they say, is a long time in politics and there must be many Scottish Labour members out there wishing the past week had never happened. It all started when John McDonnell made it clear that a UK Labour Government would not stand in the way of a second independence […]
Votes of No Confidence
As I flick from watching Liverpool handle a European competition in a far finer manner than Theresa May and the Tory Party to comments on social media, I am shocked, befuddled and amazed at the lack of any political insight by Members of Parliament of opposition parties. The call by the likes of Ian […]
