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

Let’s build that better Scotland, together.

The UK Labour Government will allow the Welsh Labour Government to decide where the Welsh share of the so-called 'Shared Prosperity Fund' is spent. In contrast, the Scottish Government is bypassed. Spend in Scotland is dictated by Westminster.

And we can transform lives across Scotland.

Excellent example of The SNP working within the devolved powers of the Scottish Parliament to mitigate the British Government’s harmful approach to migration 💛

We could do so much much more with ALL the powers.

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.

Westminster will never do right by Scotland. Jobs would move north and they will loose votes in England if they did.
To stay in power Westminster parties have never needed Scottish support.

Solar grew by 31% globally in the first half of 2025, while wind grew by nearly 8%.

Renewable energy is the future, providing safe, clean and cheap power - in sharp contrast to the volatility of fossil fuels.

In Scotland we must continue building on our success in this booming industry.

Renewables overtake coal as world's biggest source of electricity

Developing countries lead the historic clean energy charge but the US and EU rely more on fossil fuels than before, a think tank study shows.

Cooper accepted at least £215,000 of pro-Isreali BLOOD-SOAKED BRIBES

In exchange she:

✅️ voted against ceasefires
✅️ flew spy flights over Gaza
✅️ target sharing with Isreal
✅️ sent bullets
✅️ sent tank shells
✅️ sent fighter parts
✅️ sent drones
✅️ trained Israeli soldiers on 🇬🇧 soil
