The organiser, Kevin Hague, says he wants the school curriculum to be "biased towards a particular historical & political narrative". How utterly dangerous is that!? There isn't nearly enough emphasis on Scottish history taught in our schools as it is. And he says wants "the integrity of the United Kingdom defended,". How on earth do you defend the indefensible oppression of the Scottish... facebook.com/...5083410796

Absolutely! The tangerine in the WhiteHouse has completely lost the plot. The European leaders should roundly condemn his reckless behaviour. And don't get me started on Mike Pomposity personified. NICOLA Sturgeon has warned Boris Johnson not to allow the UK to be “dragged along” into Donald Trump’s war with Iran. facebook.com/...9176743720

After years of failing rail travellers in Scotland, the Scottish Government has finally announced that it will step in and active the "break clause" in the ScotRail franchise contract meaning that Abelio will cease to be the operator of Scotland's trains from March 2022 instead of them continue to the end of the contract in 2025.Read more from Common Weal Head of Policy and Research, Dr. Craig... facebook.com/...3217149994

We’ve never been able to actually confirm the oft-cited “quote” from Margaret Thatcher suggesting that the SNP winning a majority of Scottish seats at a UK election would constitute a mandate for independence, but here’s a verified more recent one from a then-serving Conservative PM. “[John] Major has made it clear that a majority of […]

We are getting unpacked and settling into our new office at the Glasgow Collective. 😀 We have even made a new office dog pal! It's an amazing modern office space in the heart of Glasgow's Barras, home to many inspiring Scottish organisations.

“It is essential now that the Scottish people display their determination not to be ruled by Boris Johnson's government, which is an affront to every value that we hold dear.  We have put up with London rule for far too long. We are calling a stop, and the first concrete action which everybody can take is to get to Glasgow and fill the streets on 11 January with a demonstration which even...

The world that we live in in 2020 is a very different one from the world of 2010. A decade ago, but it seems like a lifetime. In 2010, the Labour party dominated the Scottish political landscape, a… facebook.com/...8044729806

The march will begin at Kelvingrove Park and make its way through the city centre, taking in the symbolic Union Street and heading along the Clyde so it is visible from the motorway, before ending at Glasgow Green.

in response to Spanish electoral court decision against President Torra. Also with Spanish supreme court defying a recent decision by the European Court of Justice which ruled that Oriol Junqueras had immunity at the time of his election and should be released from prison to serve as an...

@WhiskyMac They can't afford to go it alone. And I doubt UK Labour will fund a separate party in Scotland that has a different policy on a number of things.

@WhiskyMac Agreed. And perhaps local communities could take it upon themselves to organise something. Scotland should be proud to promote her history
