I'll tell you one positive result of Scottish independence: all these social media messages full of paid trolls spouting garbage about Scotland, about the SNP and about the Scottish government will disappear overnight. Result.

I read the chancellor’s growth speech twice. He lists “labour costs” as a problem for business. Labour costs are your wages. So when he says he wants to “draw the line”, ask whose pay he means. When did your pay last rise faster than your bills?

Gary Robertson didn't like it one bit when Jenny Gilruth had a cheeky dig at him for concealing the fact that the Easdale brothers are Labour party donors. He immediately interrupted because his ego couldn't take it. He really hates being shown up.

John Swinney’s speech today was a full circle moment for the membership who pleaded with him to lead when the party needed him most. Now, after delivering a historic Holyrood win, he has set out his ambition for an independent Scotland - and his very personal motivation for it.

Andy Burnham has admitted that the £200m Labour promised for Grangemouth has never been paid. When pressed by STV's Colin Mackay, Burnham said it was "still being discussed". They'd never any intention of saving the refinery jobs or paying £200m to help the local area.

This is great. OK, neoclassical economists, explain Japan. Why hasn’t it gone bust, why does it need to sell bonds, why hasn’t something really bad happened?

Here's Keir Starmer promising £200m for Grangemouth. No reporter seems to want to ask anyone from Labour where the money is. Like the 53,000 new GB Energy jobs. Labour can pledge anything for Scotland and never be pressed when it fails to materialise.

1. On BBC cuts: at the end of the day, as long the BBC can continue to be the state propaganda channel, everything else is superfluous. The BBC does not actually get funded by your license fee it gets funded by the government.

8. because it can cut funding any time it likes. The BBC is not an independent body. And of course it chooses who runs it. UK government selects the The Chair. The Chair is not responsible for day to day running - but is the boss of the BBC - setting the remit: what its job is.

Which explains why I want to hit our TV with a baseball bat every time I see their obnoxious adverts telling us about how great the are and how lucky we are to have the daily abuse they dish out to Scots on their 'news'.
