Is the BBC a mouthpiece for Reform Ltd? If not, they certainly seem to be trying hard to claim that position. https://www.thenational.scot/news/26418517.bbc-newsnight-slated-surreal-interruption-zack-polanski-story/?ref=rss

Colour me surprised! It seems John Swinney never had a secret plan after all. I’m gobsmacked. Just as well I didn’t hold my breath waiting for him to reveal his plan. https://www.thenational.scot/news/26417428.john-swinneys-secret-plan-bust-route-indyref2/?ref=rss

Should we thank the broad shoulders of the Union for bringing the Commonwealth Games to Glasgow? It seems not. https://talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2026/07/28/uk-government-is-now-dishonestly-claiming-a-central-and-instrumental-role-in-bringing-the-commonwealth-games-to-glasgow/

Whether you call it the BBC Effect or the Farage Effect, the fact is that most Scots seriously overestimate the number of refugees who come here & how much financial support those refugees receive. https://news.stv.tv/scotland/four-in-five-scots-overestimate-uk-refugee-numbers-survey-finds

Here’s a fascinating look at how Trump, who has reportedly grifted billions of dollars for himself & his family out of being President, is still trying to fleece his loyal supporters. https://www.thenewworld.co.uk/chris-lord-i-could-not-be-a-film-journalist-without-the-internet/

Now that Andy Burnham has, predictably, refused permission for a 2nd IndyRef, I expect we’ll hear from John Swinney what his secret plan to gain independence is. Any day now…

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss. He’ll stay close to the people & Listen. As long as those people aren’t Scots. https://www.thenational.scot/news/26404346.andy-burnham-avoiding-media-first-official-scotland-visit/?ref=rss

A Regulator has given the Tories permission to keep demonising Benefits claimants despite their claims being untrue. http://www.disabilitynewsservice.com/regulator-gives-tories-green-light-to-keep-saying-welfare-is-spiralling-out-of-control-even-though-its-not/

1 thing you can say about Anas Sarwar is that he was consistent. He consistently broke his promises in his quest for an ermine robe. https://www.thenational.scot/news/26401781.lord-anas-sarwar-tells-everything-todays-labour/?ref=rss

Meet the new UK Health Secretary. Same as the old UK Health Secretary. These people want to destroy the NHS in England which will have a knock-on effect on Scotland’s funding. https://www.thenational.scot/news/26298685.yvette-cooper-took-thousands-private-health-linked-donors/?ref=rss

Robin McAlpine telling some hard truths in this article. I hope he’s wrong but I fear he’s right. http://robinmcalpine.org/the-time-for-fairytales-in-scottish-independence-movement-is-over/

Reform Ltd demonstrating their racist credentials again. They can’t stand it when anyone speaks a language other than English. https://bylinetimes.com/2026/07/13/reform-uk-plans-to-jail-candidates-for-using-irish-gaelic-or-cornish-on-election-leaflets/

This is disgraceful. Rupert Lowe shows his disdain of Scotland while also implying that the UK’s gun laws are too restrictive. Casually dismissing the deaths of so many children is abhorrent. https://news.stv.tv/politics/mp-calls-dunblane-massacre-one-murder-on-joe-rogan-podcast

As we suspected all along, Andy Burnham is just another imperialist who can’t stand the thought of allowing Scots democracy. https://www.thenational.scot/news/26253826.andy-burnham-rejects-second-scottish-independence-referendum/?ref=rss

Does Burnham’s victory spell the end for the Scottish independence movement? No, & this article explains why. It seems the UK media in Scotland doesn’t get it. https://talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2026/06/20/reports-of-my-death-have-been-greatly-exaggerated-and-burnham-putting-scotland-back-in-its-box/

Another bloody immigrant taking over £250k of public money. It’s a disgrace. Oh, wait. It’s not an immigrant. It’s a Reform Ltd Councillor. #Grifters https://bylinetimes.com/2026/06/09/reform-councillor-who-slammed-angela-rayner-on-tax-owed-hmrc-over-250000-through-failed-firms/

9 years late and still not fit for purpose. Aye, but what about ferries? https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/ajax-uk-military-army-mod-b2991108.html

Nigel Farage has a huge fan base … in Ecuador. https://www.thenewworld.co.uk/rats-in-a-sack-why-are-there-so-many-ecuadorian-farage-fans-on-x/

Reform Ltd have received donations of £7 million from 2 crypto-billionaires. I wonder whether their supporters ever stop to consider why a supposed man of the people is being paid so much by very wealthy people?

This article seems to think it is unfair that the Scottish Government provides more support for poorer families than other UK nations do. But I bet the BBC will be all over this.https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/benefits-income-welfare-dwp-scotland-england-report-b2988808.html
