It is time to i-Switch
Scotland pays too much for its own energy!
It’s time for i-Switch
Scottish energy bills are amongst the highest in the world. Scotland generates abundant low cost renewable power, but unfair pricing means you pay more than most of the UK.
The i-Switch guarantees massive savings because without the high cost UK energy market, prices would be far lower
Farage Will Burn Down the Union
Nigel Farage is leading in UK wide polls, but not in Scotland. The prospect of Farage entering Downing Street with a massive majority is no longer a far-fetched sideshow; it may happen.
2025 Movement Survey Results: Leading the Campaign You Asked For

2025 Movement Survey Results: How Should an Independent Scotland Select its Head of State?
Our 2025 Big Indy Movement Survey confirms that support for a Scottish Republic is strong among independence supporters but how should an independent Scotland's Head of State be selected?
In July 2025, Believe in Scotland ran its annual Big Indy Movement Survey and a record 7,226 Independence supporters responded.
We already know that support for the monarchy has fallen in Scotland since the death of Queen Elizabeth. And In late 2024, Believe in Scotland commissioned a poll, conducted by Norstat, which showed that the option of an independent Scotland that is also a Republic pushes support for independence up 5 points from the basic Yes/No question.

Momentum is growing for the break-up of the UK
The Unionist UK media may be attempting to ignore it - but momentum is growing for the break of the UK and the change to a brighter future.
Instead of a centralised state in London setting policy for its benefit, the archipelago will be home to four strong, independent countries that can work together on shared issues.
Media Watch: UK gov minister's lies about Scotland's water goes unchallenged
UK Environment Secretary Steve Reed was allowed to state unchallenged on Channel Four news that publicly-owned Scottish Water is producing worse outcomes than England’s scandal-hit private firms. He said that “pollution levels in Scotland are worse than they are in England”.
It is not a true statement according to any measure.
Europeans will welcome back an independent Scotland in to the EU
An independent Scotland asking to rejoin the EU would be welcomed by most Europeans. The latest YouGov EuroTrack survey asked people in Denmark, France, Germany, Italy and Spain about this, and between 63 and 75% say they will support an independent Scotland joining the EU.
In all of those countries, very few people, only about one in ten, said they would be opposed to Scotland rejoining.
One Year On: Labour Proves Westminster Still Doesn’t Work for Scotland
A year ago today, many Scottish voters answered Labour’s call to vote the Conservatives out. They were promised change and a fairer society.
But after 12 months in office, it is obvious that changing the guard at Westminster does nothing for Scotland.
Believe in Scotland founder Gordon MacIntyre-Kemp said: “Real change, the kind that puts Scotland first and improves the lives of those who live here, won’t come from swapping blue for red, or red for a new shade of blue. It will only come from independence.”
Here are four key areas where Labour has set its course in a direction that is bad for Scotland.
Calls for Wales to copy Scotland’s “powerful and effective” child poverty measures
The Scottish Parliament’s child poverty measures have seen a “parting of the ways” with England and Wales. Wales’ Bevan Foundation is calling for Wales to emulate what Scotland is doing as a powerful and effective way to lift children out of poverty.
Scotland has seen a 12% drop in child poverty since introducing reduction targets into law in 2017, according to new research. There has been a reduction of 21,000 children living in relative poverty, while in the same period, England and Wales have seen a 15% rise, said the Big Issue.
