Politicians speak in glittering generalities much of the time. There is no substance behind the SNP’s lofty pronouncements.

Never let the independence movement forget this statement from the man who claims to speak for all of us.
Relying on the Section 30 process is probably the best example of the old thinking we might find.

Scotland is caged in a political union we were dragged into more than three centuries ago by England, which had always regarded Scotland as both a weak point on its northern flank and a potential threat from that direction.

Now into three figures. I'm calling it a landmark.
If you want to argue that Scotland is not a colony, then you have to explain why only England-as-Britain is able to change the terms of the political union.

I've made the news!
Swinney is openly admitting that while speaking and acting on behalf of the people of Scotland, he accedes to the alien doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty.

The resolution doesn’t call for any change in the SNP leadership’s current ‘strategy’.

Then the likes of Giugliano come along waving their credentials and telling the group, “Ye cannae dae that!”

This is the kind of ‘coincidence’ that prompts conspiracy theories.

Swinney was OK when it was a meeting of party leaders. It was a different story when it came to being in the same room as the likes of Common Weal (CW) and Scottish Independence Forum (SIF)

The interesting stuff comes with the amendment submitted by the Newington & Southside branch. You may recall that this is the branch responsible for what came to be called the Newington Resolution, submitted to the 2026 conference.

If we act in the manner of a sovereign state, it is for others to challenge our right to do so. It is for them to prove that we are not sovereign.

Not that anybody in Scotland really cares what Farage says, but remark was a "swip" not at John Swinney, but the whole of Scotland.
You won't find anybody among England's political elites who understand the constitutional issue. And Engand's media are just as ignorant.
But the pictures in the glossy brochure for the independence vacation are of different destinations. And there is no information at all about how and when you travel to whatever turns out to be the actual location.
