There is a big difference between reacting and responding to situations that arise. Reactions are driven by our survival instincts. We saw an example of this in Humza’s conference speech. With little to offer his supporters, he hastily came up with Tax Freeze with no consultation whatsoever. That was a ‘fag packet’ reaction!

Sunak is about to follow suit with Tax reductions for the rich after losing two big By-Elections.

To respond means taking a step back and seeing the whole picture, the whys and wherefores. It requires some critical thinking skills and the possibility of changing course. But that never happens with a ‘trickle-down’ economy where the rich must always get richer at the cost of those at the bottom.

Sadly today we see reaction politics in nearly every sphere of life, especially in the Middle East and it’s having a domino effect.

Politicians are reacting one way with the people responding oppositely.

We need more of this kind of response in Scotland. This is the moment to demand our Sovereign rights, this is the time to say to Holyrood and Westminster, No more and No Freeports.

We in Scotland have loud voices, let’s use them!
