Labour, typically missing the reasons that Macabi support were banned from Aston Villa match, is because they are violent with a history of violence. Now Labour will own the result of violence and injury which will be inevitable. This is about keeping people safe, religion has nothing to do with it.

Dear Labour @labourlist.bsky.social
( Although you don’t listen to anyone except multi millionaires )
We know ppl need houses - but do up old buildings, build on brownfield sites - not these treasured spaces,
You will never be forgiven if you do.

In preventing any one party getting an overal majority it allows more seats to got to other (unionist) parties. As 2026 needs an Indy majority to enable a request for a referendum a first vote for the SNP and 2nd vote for the Greens (or vice versa) blocks unionist seats.

The 'Hont proportional voting system used in Holyrood is fiendish and was specifically designed to stop any one party getting a majority. If you've not seen it before it's worth reading the explanation of the system at www.parliament.scot/-/media/file... 1/2

A thought 🤔.

In Scotland in next year's Holyrood election if all the SNP voters vote SNP1/Greens2, and likewise all the Greens vote Green1/SNP2 - we might just get it over the line for an Independent and greener Scotland 🤞🤞

Running a political campaign takes money. The SNP are not backed by big business south of the boarder or by dubious donations, it is backed by the people of Scotland. If you can donate to your indy party or group. If you are time rich give your time.

"The SNP are on a very dangerous tack. What they are doing is trying to build up a situation in Scotland where the services are manifestly better than south of the border in a number of areas.”
When asked whether that was a bad thing, Lord Foulkes replied:
“No, but they are doing it deliberately.”
