Scottish Independence

An SNP MP has hit out at a prominent pro-Union campaign group after it proposed a 'truth commission' should be set up to test the accuracy of claims made during a second independence referendum.

The publication of the latest Government Expenditure and Revenue Scotland (GERS) annual report will be followed by a familiar barrage of claim and counter claim about the strength of Scotland’s economy, writes Chris McCall

Thousands of pro-independence supporters are expected to march through Edinburgh in October after council bosses agreed a route with event organisers.

The trickiest part of the plan to thwart a no-deal Brexit is clearly “install Jeremy Corbyn as Prime Minister”, even for ten minutes, writes Brian Wilson.

Jeremy Corbyn has "surrendered" to the SNP over a second independence referendum, it was claimed today, as Nicola Sturgeon said she would work with the Labour government to prevent a no-deal Brexit.

Clowns from across the political spectrum have been putting on quite a show of late with Caroline Lucas’s suggestion of an all-female Cabinet to sort out Brexit, Wings Over Scotland’s plan for a new political party and Labour’s independence-themed performance of the hokey-cokey, writes Laura Waddell.

Scottish unionists like Richard Leonard and Ruth Davidson are becoming irrelevant to the powers that be in their parties and face the same fate as American Loyalists in the US War of Independence and the Irish Ascendancy during the creation of the Free State, writes Kenny MacAskill.

A senior Labour MP today insisted that a second referendum on independence "is not what Scotland needs" - despite John McDonnell's recent comments that the party would not block such a vote.

Labour tried to face both ways on Brexit and now appears to be trying to do the same thing on Scottish independence, writes Alex Cole-Hamilton MSP.

A Labour councillor has resigned following a row over whether the party would allow a second referendum on Scottish independence.

Just when you thought that Brexit couldn’t get any more destructive, the UK Government is now actively considering an equally hare-brained scheme, writes Angus Robertson.

The new Prime Minister’s behaviour so far suggests a dismissive attitude towards Scotland which could prove to be the Union’s undoing, writes Ian Swanson

A breakaway pro-independence party could challenge the Scottish Greens for list votes at the next Holyrood election as SNP voters do not want to vote for their "far left" policies, it was claimed today.

It is time we saw the Conservative Unionist that Davidson claims to be, not the Liberal Unionist she resembles, writes Brian Monteith.
