Should Scotland have an agreed threshold for a Referendum? Geoff Aberdein wonders if, now that John Swinney’s mandate for independence hasn’t been met, whether it would be wise for political parties to agree on a threshold for a second referendum in future elections.

“People expected more from this government” Geoff Aberdein reacts to another week of scrutiny and pressure on Keir Starmer, and suggests that people are simply seeing more of the same from Labour, after being promised change.
Andy Maciver questions Janine Leonard, from STAND UK, on the fact that 43% of young people in Scotland's classrooms receive some level of ASN, and whether this dilutes the assistance available for those most in need.
Would further fiscal autonomy for the Scottish Parliament lead to independence? Would further powers bring Scotland one step closer to independence… or would it be, as Andy puts it, ‘the best strategy unionists have’?
“This is always going to be a trick for unionist parties” Geoff Aberdein speaks on unionists parties' refusal to mention independence, reflecting on Malcolm Offord’s suggestion that there could potentially be a referendum down the line.
“That involves you leaving behind a lot of 2016 SNP policy” Andy Maciver asks whether the SNP has been too focused on welfare and if now is the time to try to grow Scotland’s economy. Stephen Flynn argues that his party can achieve both. Is this an unrealistic expectation for the SNP government?
"It's not going to happen overnight" Geoff Aberdein shares his thoughts on the UK Government's windfall tax, and urges the energy secretary Ed Miliband to focus more of his time on the oil and gas sector.
“There’s a possibility of an SNP majority” @markmcgeoghegan.bsky.social points to polling that suggests that despite the SNP being down in the polls since 2021, that there is an outside chance of an SNP majority going into the election.
@markmcgeoghegan.bsky.social asks what the dynamic will be in marginal constituencies across Scotland, pointing out that in most cases tactical voting seems to be to against Reform UK. He questions whether that will help the SNP or Labour the most…

Amid the affordability crisis, what are Senate Republicans focusing on this week? Partisan legislation that would give ICE and CBP another $140 billion to fuel the President’s mass deportation campaign. That money should go toward combatting the rising cost of living instead.
Trump's economic approval is not just the lowest in either of his terms. His net approval is lower than that of any president for any term. He's making the type of history that no president likes to make.

Both Trump and Iran need a deal. Even short of war, the ceasefire is putting too much pressure on the US economy and the GOP's political prospects. And Iran needs to translate the outcome of the war into much-needed sanctions relief. Both will lose if a deal is missed.

I woke up very early this morning to news of “major combat operations” in Iran. My prayers are with our service members and their families. The President didn’t make the case or come to Congress. We took an oath to defend the Constitution. It’s time for a War Powers vote.

Reps Swalwell and Gonzales need to resign, or be expelled, from Congress. Sexual assault allegations against both of them need to be taken seriously and hopefully Republicans and Democrats can agree on that.

The problem is he did put out what he called a plan and the press reported it as if it was plan. Our original post came because he was making a specific claim of how his plan would impact a billionaire based on his "plan". So, either his figure is made up, or he has plan details he hasn't released.
