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.

SNP have been voted in by the Scottish people despite the UK gov using all the levers they can to try and stop any indy party being able to have a majority. As soon as any UK party get a hold of Holywood it will be dismantled mark my words fellow Scots. Dinnae be daft vote SNP

Scotland's No1 Comrade @scotlandscomrade.bsky.social · 1d

The current rhetoric from Labour is that they see themselves best placed to stop another SNP term of office as 19years of SNP governance has been enough.

Contrast that argument that since 1708 we have been dominated by unionist rule from Westminster that currently has NO majority within Holyrood.

Rising bills. Falling living standards. The UK economic model is broken.

Independence is the fresh start for Scotland - so we can build a wealthier, fairer nation shaped by the people who live here.
