The media is reporting that RBS will leave Scotland if the country votes for independence.  There is one slight problem with the story – the bank has already left Scotland.  It is now owned by the UK government and says what the UK government tells it to say. Here is our 12-point response to the […]

NICOLA Sturgeon is set to defy UK Government demands and share details of the number of Covid vaccines available to use in Scotland.

Some years ago, a friend of mine was on a car journey along the motorway, with their brother driving. The night before there had been a storm and high winds. The bad weather had continued into the morning before easing, but the wind was still strong. They were chatting in the car and as they continued […]

We genuinely empathise, anonymous senior Scottish Tory. If only there was some solution available.

It seems to be becoming apparent to the SNP’s aggressive woke wing that they badly overreached themselves with last week’s trainwreck of an NEC meeting. The backlash from ordinary members has clearly been severe, with senior party figures lining up to distance themselves from the decisions made, and one of the two contentious moves (the […]

This week saw publication of the long-awaited Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) report on alleged Russian interference in British affairs. Despite media hysteria, the report contained no new revelations, just all-too-familiar catastrophising about Moscow’s ill-defined “disinformation” efforts and warnings of the undue influence rich Russians (most of whom are actually Kremlin...

Alert readers may have noticed that the hypothetical Wings list party is once again the talk of the steamie, with the usual suspects stamping their feet and pouting about it yet again on social media, in particular the firmly-ensconced SNP MP Pete Wishart and the worryingly obsessed former poll-analysis website WINGS OVER SCOTLAND IS BAD […]

Alert readers will probably have noticed that earlier today we featured a post by SNP MP Kenny MacAskill making the seemingly-unsurprising statement that the purpose of his party is to “bring about the end of the British state”. So we thought he might have wanted to check with his colleague Stewart McDonald, the SNP’s defence spokeman and an […]

Things you won't read on the BBC, part 68392

The Scottish media is in a total frenzy this morning over the long-delayed publication of the “Russia Report” into alleged interference by Vladimir Putin’s regime in UK politics. The Herald, Scotsman, Mail, Express and the i all lead their front pages with the story today, and the Telegraph did yesterday. So we thought you might […]

Farewell, civilised world. But don’t worry, readers. The SNP have a cunning plan to secure independence by 2050, maybe, if they can find time in between letting rapists into women’s changing rooms, criminalising almost any sort of speech and stopping you getting cheap pizzas. No rush. There’s still a lot of MP wages and Short money […]

It’s hard to express quite what a revolting piece of hypocrisy this is. Behold some pious little twerp whose own comfy seat in the Scottish Parliament was secured entirely by what he calls “cheating”, saying that nobody but him and his mates are allowed to cheat. Ross Greer, alert readers may recall, snuck into Holyrood on the very […]

The BBC website is playing it rather enigmatic this morning. Does anyone know the name of the place it doesn’t want to say for some reason?

A concept has recently arisen in Scottish politics for which this site feels at least partly responsible, and which is making the strangest bedfellows of Unionist commentators and SNP ultra-loyalists. It’s summed up very concisely in today’s Times. Let’s just unpick that for a moment. Imagine that you’re a person who believes in (say) both […]

No comment needed, really. Sooner or later, you have to stop screaming that anyone pointing out what’s happening is an MI5 plant or a secret Unionist, and either just accept the complete abandonment of the Yes movement by the current SNP leadership or do something about it.
