Thank you ♥️. I'm SNP 1/SG 2 as well. together we'll break free ,!
Green member here. I'll be voting SNP and Green (obvs). I'd rather vote Green twice but independence is more important so that we can enact our own environmental and social policies without Westminster interference.

You can tell what sort of person you are, by your reaction to these two different Photos.

Something magnificent about Kemi Badenoch's self-confidence, and her claim that the Mandelson affair is entirely down to her asking questions at PMQs. Like a toddler who thinks their plastic steering wheel is controlling the car.
