    If Labour really do believe in Scotland's right to decide, they have to prove it (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    I HAVE believed for a while now that the democratic argument was the strongest way to build and widen support for a second independence referendum, and this week it proved to be just that. There is growing evidence that the Labour Party have recognised their block on indyref2 is an anti-democratic vote-loser. The party’s support on Tuesday for an SNP motion asserting Scotland’s right to decide its own constitutional future wasn’t outright support for a second referendum – but it was a significan

    Andy Burnham’s indyref2 'opening' is really another Unionist dead end (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    IT’S way too early to put up the bunting to celebrate as Andy Burnham “opens the door for indyref2”, as the Daily Telegraph described the Prime Minister’s recent pontifications on Scotland’s independence in its front-page splash yesterday. The very fact that the Telegraph – pretty much the voice of the Conservative Party captured in print – chose to give Burnham’s so-called conditions for a second independence referendum such prominence should give Scottish indy supporters cause

    From Fort William to Glasgow's Hydro – Tide Lines on their remarkable rise (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    WHEN the band Tide Lines first headlined the Barrowland Ballroom in 2019, lead singer and guitarist Robert Robertson quietly admits to shedding a tear. When the four members got together three years before, they struggled to imagine much beyond landing a gig at the local railway club in Fort William. Since then, their mix of traditional Scottish folk music and more modern influences has taken them to some of the most iconic venues and festivals all over the UK and beyond. It’s a journey that rea

    Amid endless gruelling price rises, isn't independence strategy due a rethink? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    THERE seems to be no end to the continual rises in our energy costs, despite the promises of our new Prime Minister, who has already proved himself no more trustworthy than his woeful predecessor. The energy regulator Ofgem confirmed on Wednesday that the energy price cap will rise from £1663 to £1722. Analysts at Cornwall Insight have predicted that figure will rise by 9% to £1872 next January, wiping out any savings from Andy Burnham’s populist promise to scrap VAT from energy bills. A story i

    BBC must be held to account for ‘flawed and dangerous’ Welcome To Glasgow (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    THE flaws in this week’s shockingly misleading BBC Disclosure documentary about Glasgow are so fundamental and so troubling that it really can’t be allowed to become one of those stories that blows up for a few days and is then forgotten. It represented a failure to properly tackle some of the most urgent issues facing Scotland today – so serious a failure that the BBC must not be allowed to give one of its usual bland reassurances that its journalism is fearless and rigorous and then shut
