Voice 2: Maggie Chapman emphasizes that […]
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 […]
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 […]

One idea, one seed of change germinated and broke […]

The best, most festive wish for me, would be for the left in Scotland to update and announce again to the world its demand for a secular, fair and independent Scotland, fighting for and within a fair, equitable Europe. I know this isn’t […]
