Labour must not be allowed to escape culpability on Gaza (opens the original)
Read excerpt
‘I WANT to say to the millions of people in this country, and indeed elsewhere, who have been moved and outraged by the plight of the Palestinian people. We hear you. You were right.” Those are the words of British Foreign Secretary, Ed Miliband, addressing the Labour Party conference. As applause rang out, it conveyed a sense of absolution and a psychological rebalancing. For three years, Labour representatives were reeled out to defend the indefensible. As hospitals were destroyed, as mass gra
Scottish independence faces new opportunities and dilemmas as global order shifts (opens the original)
Read excerpt
ORDINARILY, the summit in Cardiff jointly organised by the SNP, Plaid Cymru and Sinn Féin, could be written off as another photo opportunity. It fits the typical profile, enabling the SNP leadership to take a symbolic action to keep independence on the boil, as a means of securing continued electoral dominance and deflecting from domestic failings. But what makes this event more intriguing than normal is the wider context in which it sits, where the rules and alliances which have dominated the g
Where is the vision for Scottish independence? Not at SNP conference (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THE SNP leadership has been accused of shutting down debate about independence strategy at the upcoming party conference.

FOR the past few months, I have abstained from posting much on social media. But not from looking at it. Every day, I’ll check in multiple times to scroll through the news and observe the latest developments, scandals, and all too often, horrors. Despite not engaging directly, the addiction, to one extent or another, remains active. The problems in the UK media system, and in our society writ large, cannot be reduced to these online platforms alone. But observing them from a more detached perspe
The case for Scottish independence starts at the global level (opens the original)
Read excerpt
THERE are few in what remains of the independence movement who now believe that Scottish autonomy can be achieved by simply relying on the SNP. That was not always the case. Indeed, for a good many years following the 2014 referendum, critical voices were often scorned. The instinct to promote unity through political deference to the SNP leadership was born of defeat, sacrificing the irreverence and pluralism of the Yes campaign. A thorough examination of those years has always been a pre-requis
