I see lots of Indy supporters on here criticising the @snp.org whilst failing to offer any other viable solution to gain #ScottishIndependence . If we fail to gain an Indy majority at Holyrood in 2026 these people are partly to blame. SNP is the only viable option in 2026 and that’s the reality.

It's not just an SNP majority we need, we need to reduce the Yoonie presence in the List that SNP 1&2 allows.
HR26 vote SNP 1 and Scottish Greens 2 for an Indy majority.
Vote sensibly not loyally 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
Better 70%+ Indy majority than 51% SNP alone.

The SNP introduced free tuition and we will always ensure Scottish students do not pay tuition fees.

Meanwhile in England, students pay over £9,500 a year and Labour will put fees up every year.

Education must always be based on the ability to learn, not the ability to pay.

The data shows Brexit was a massive mistake and badly hurt the economy. We're all paying for it. It was Nigel Farage who sold the lies that it would make life better. How can anyone still listen to him about anything?

I've got lots of things to say about Jeremy Clarkson.

Really not worth it. He knows his game is over and so is resorting to personal attacks.

Andrew will still be referred to as a 'Prince', and his billionaire family will still cost the taxpayer £500 million every year.

What kind of system would allow someone so demonstrably inappropriate to have such wealth and power?

It's time to abolish the monarchy.

And this is exactly why AI cant be trusted. When billionaires control the algorithms its all about disinformation and manipulation, not the truth.
Elon Musk is now clearly writing Grok's replies to all the subjects that he considers important.

It's exactly the nonsense he posts on Twitter.

“Don’t be fooled by those in Epstein’s circle who say they didn’t know what he was doing. Epstein…took a certain glee in making people watch. And people did watch – scientists, fundraisers from the Ivy League and other heralded institutions, titans of industry. They watched and they didn’t care.”

I’m in Zambia, where I’m seeing first hand the impact of 20 years of partnership and friendship between our countries.

Scotland is proud to play our part in the world and support many life-saving development projects - showing the kind of country we can be on the world stage.

Scotland faces a choice: continued decline with Westminster, or hope and ambition with independence.

Let’s build that better Scotland, together.

A Welsh NHS strike threat reported on BBC Wales contained no politics at all 👇 yet a negative story about Grampian NHS has been constantly politicised by the BBC in Scotland with attacks on the SNP.

Why is the BBC using a different editorial policy for Scotland?

Dr Husam Zomlot, Head of Palestinian Mission to the UK, spoke movingly at the SNP Conference today. Well worth listening to his whole speech 👇

Very rarely is a Palestinian voice heard without bias and interruption on British media.

Far too much of Scotland's land is hoarded by a small group of the extremely rich.

But we can change that.

Scottish Greens are working to strengthen the upcoming Land Reform Bill to boost community ownership and put Scotland’s land in Scotland’s hands.
Public 'overwhelmingly' supports bigger changes on land reform, say charities
