Just like the BBC in Scotland, Laura Kuenssberg is stepping up the deliberate errors to knock The SNP. Twice she claimed the UK Gov was supplying £10bn to build warships on the Clyde. This is false. The £10bn will come from Norway after it signed a deal with BAE systems.

Needs to be country before party SNP must recognize that there are huge numbers of voters who want independence but do not support the party Vital that people realise once independence is achieved the SNP as a party will disappear

It’s not difficult to accept that a large swathe of the electorate remains to be convinced that independence will be good for them. But neither is it difficult to believe that they can’t be won over with a full-throated campaign, writes Ruth Wishart ✍️

No country can reach it's full potential while it's neighbour holds most of the fiscal powers over it,while it's neighbour can prevent it from doing anything it wants by invoking a S35 and while it's neighbour takes it's resources and keeps the taxes from it for itself.Only independence does that.

So if we vote them in on a majority and Starmer say no S30 will they declare indy?

Verminous Scot @etkwebster.bsky.social · 1d

Scotland does need independence but how do we get it? Asking WM permission to even have a vote will be met with a no as Starmer has repeatedly said. This is no union, this is a prison that Scotland needs to free itself from somehow.

Andrew Sharpe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿|🇪🇺 @andrew.sharpe.scot · 1d

The SNP's Stephen Flynn spelled it out clearly today: Scotland needs a fresh start - Scotland needs Independence.

I hope the members of the UN's C-24 committee were listening to and noted Keir Starmer's statement that there will never be another Independence Referendum in Scotland.

Scotland and England live in neighbouring houses. England takes 100% of Scotland's wages every week and gives her back 35% as pocket money. England says he will use the remaining 65% for their mutual benefit. England then uses that money to build a swimming pool, a sauna, ... 1/2

Vote #SNP 1 #ScottishGreens 2 in 2026.

The attached table shows the impact of shifting @snp.org vote to @scottishgreens.org @ increasing % levels. This shows that indy supporting parties could hold 73% of the Scottish Parliament seats with a 59 seat super majority.

You're missing the point that the only way to make improvements to Scotland is with the full fiscal powers of an independent country instead of pocket money from our neighbour.

NHS waiting list in England is longer per head by quarter of a million patients and shockingly twice as long in Wales, than in Scotland

Professor John Robertson OBA MSM Monitor, fast and effective as always, demolished the claims of Baillie and Sarwar yesterday. What are the most recent waiting list figures? Scotland – 718 00…

All very well and good but Starmer has already said even if SNP secure a majority he'll still refuse an S30 so what then?
