- The moral isolationism of Starmer in the face of the far right 13/09/2025On Saturday in London there was the largest far-right rally that the UK has seen in decades. Called Unite the Kingdom, the march was organised by far right thug and convicted criminal Stephen Yaxley-Lennon and his supporters.

- The hard right and the killing of empathy 12/09/2025Earlier this year there was a serious nuclear incident at Faslane naval base on the Clyde, where the UK’s fleet of nuclear submarines are based.

- Scotland’s last chance to escape English nationalism 09/09/2025In July 2025, Keir Starmer’s Labour party was elected on a promise of ‘change’, a suitably vacuuous slogan which allowed voters to impute to it whatever they liked.

- Holyrood 2026: an election of unknowns 01/09/2025The next Holyrood elections are now only nine months away and they look set to be the most unpredictable elections in the history of the Scottish Parliament.

- We must not concede to Farage’s lies 27/08/2025Following Nigel Farage’s immigrant bashing speech on Tuesday, in which he presented a fantasy of figures pulled out of thin air and cited some highly dubious scaremongering statistics about the alleged involvement of Afghan migrants in sexual crime, on Wednesday the political wing of GB News gained its first MSP in this Scottish Parliament, in […]
- Drugs deaths and the Scottish media’s addiction to the Cringe. 25/08/2025At times, who are we kidding – most of the time – the British media and its outposts in Scotland seem to be engaged in a competition in which Scotland is always the loser.
