IT'S OFFICIAL: Rachel Reeves confirms Scotland is in a FORCED union with England, not a voluntary one. She claims there is literally NO democratic path to independence. So is this a material change of circumstances that should lead to the SNP strategy being revisited and reconsidered?

With just over one month of the year left to go, the 2025 Scot Goes Pop fundraiser is still short of its target figure.  If you'd like to help keep the lights on during the several months it will take me to find out whether an alternative funding model is viable (realistically it could be a wait of around four months or more), card donations are welcome HERE.  Or, if you prefer, direct donations can be made via PayPal.  My PayPal email address is:  jkellysta@yahoo.co.uk

Many thanks to everyone who has donated so far.
