Want change? Well, it’s starting to feel like we’ve got it. Keir Starmer is taking on, not just right-wing thugs, not just criminal smuggling...
Hell hath no fury like a man scorned. Like a disgruntled thesp overlooked for a lifetime achievement award, Alex Salmond has been strongly hinting to...
It’s been a good week for US Democrats, superficially. Kamala Harris won the first TV debate and has a chance of winning the US election. So why...
Sometimes as a woman you watch the news and you just feel sick. It happened this week. First there was a horrendous story from France about a...
Labour are still in opposition in Scotland. In case we forget, Anas Sarwar has been all over the papers talking about his “dossier” on SNP fiscal...
Ah, the romanticism of the railways. Late trains. Reduced timetables. Standing in the aisle for want of a seat. I wonder why more people don’t...
When you’re a frequent visitor to the south of England from Scotland, you notice certain things. There’s a lot more traffic. You can grow tomatoes...
Dyslexia a learning disability? No: it’s an asset. These might sound like consoling words for children who find school difficult, but that would...

Have you been on X (still better known as Twitter) since Sunday? I wouldn’t. It’s where reason and hope have gone to die. Here’s a brief...
The SNP is doing a pretty good impression of a party that’s on the way out. Angry tweets, in-fighting, blame, blame, blame. Hapless bystanders who...
A few weeks back, Today presenter Amol Rajan sprung a surprise last question in an interview with Pat McFadden. He asked why McFadden was put up to...

No one is talking much about independence in this election because there’s no chance of it happening. Here’s Scottish Lib-Dem leader Alex...

Pity the poor SNP support. It’s been a bad couple of seasons generally but recent poor performance could mean humiliating relegation awaits. The...
Some certainties of Scottish life have just been reaffirmed. We thought summer was beckoning, so Biblical amounts of rain have drowned our hubris. ...
Does John Swinney want to reach a better compromise, balancing trans rights and women’s rights?? When asked on BBC Radio Scotland to define a...
Did Humza leave John a note? If so, what did it say? Perhaps like Labour’s outgoing Treasury minister Liam Byrne in 2010, it cut to the chase:...
There’s nothing like turbulence at Holyrood to get Scots in London in a froth. The two Andrews – Marr and Neil – are both wringing their hands...
St George’s Day is always a bit of a worry in politics. Flag-waving and ingratiating behaviour is the order of the day. Oh dear, you find yourself...
They’re at it again. The Scottish Greens are annoying people. Alex Salmond’s Alba won’t appear on the bill of a planned pro-independence rally...

It’s not often I find myself agreeing with Jeremy Corbyn but he was right this week in his remarks about Diane Abbott, whom he called a trailblazer...
Alcohol minimum unit pricing is a policy that divides opinion. As part of our Scotland & Alcohol series, we asked two of our writers to put the case...
Suella Braverman, a former Tory Home Secretary, wrote an inflammatory article asserting without evidence that “Islamists, extremists and...
The SNP has found a new role, positioning itself as the conscience of the Labour party. The party’s Westminster leader Stephen Flynn, welcoming Keir...
It was the unfortunate high-handed tone that hit home. Speaking on BBC Radio Scotland yesterday, Finance Secretary and Deputy First Minister Shona...
I’m not so sure. Most of us, if asked, would probably prefer not to have them at the end of our road. But once they’re there, how many of us...
Were we right to put so much faith in our Covid leaders here in Scotland during the pandemic? Early in the outbreak, famously, Nicola Sturgeon...
There are some questions politicians prefer not to talk about if they can possibly avoid it. One is: can Scotland’s policy of free university...
If you’ll forgive me wallowing for a moment in some post-Christmas gloom, 2024 looks like being a bit rubbish. Inadequate wages, yawning inequality,...
There hasn’t been much to love about 2023, but by 'eck, as Pat the deceased Scout Master would say, we’ve been blessed to have Ghosts. If you...
