We’ve seen what Westminster chaos brings - it’s time to take control and build a fairer, more hopeful Scotland. The need for independence has never been greater. #SNP25

We’ll fight the 2026 election on what independence can do for Scotland - building the mandate, the movement and the plan to make it happen. #SNP25

Graphic: Independence: A Fresh Start for Scotland.” The text lists six key points: fight the 2026 election on what independence can do for Scotland, win a Holyrood majority for a lawful referendum, deliver a democratic legal path back into the EU, launch a Scottish Constitutional Convention, build a cross-party civic campaign, and publish a shared independence plan and clear answers for voters. SNP and Scottish flag logos appear at the bottom, with a circular “YES” badge at the top right.

It is utterly surreal this is not being treated as a bigger story.

Tom Hunter @onelifestand87.bsky.social · 1d

It is embarassing not to see the BBC pulling up Reform leaders claiming that Nathan Gill was just some fan who got photos taken with Farage - he was an MEP for them & their leader in Wales while taking cash from Russia to act against the UK! Literally the very basics of your job to point this out

Who thinks this will ever appear in the illustrious pages of The Glasgow Herald?

Or the sycophantic columns of The Daily Record?

How about up the kilt of The “Hootsmon”?

Or even on BBC Shortbread?

There are several credible sources with evidence about UKLabour approving arms exports to Israel.8,630 items in the category “bombs, grenades, torpedoes, mines, missiles and similar munitions of war” were exported to Israel. Also, 150,000 bullets were shipped from the UK to Israel in October 2024.

🌻Sheila 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺✌️ @sheilzz.bsky.social · 23h

It’s undisputed that the Labour government has continued to supply arms to Israel and to train Israeli soldiers here in the UK, therefore it is complicit. FM @johnswinney.bsky.social has been calling on the UK government to stop this since the beginning of the genocide but was ignored as usual.

How do you know it will take the best part of a decade?Do you have a secret source inside EU 🙄
Finland -2 years 10mnths. Sweden 3 years.Being a previous member for 47 years, before being dragged out by England,would shorten negotiations.Much of Scottish law still mirrors EU law too👍

Costed plans on what specifically?

🌻Sheila 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺✌️ @sheilzz.bsky.social · 1d

Agree, highlighting the billions that would remain in Scotland once independent, should be on billboards everywhere. There needs to be rebuttal team to counteract the constant lies and scaremongering aswell.

Do you feel better off after austerity, Brexit and rising bills under Westminster?

With independence, we can raise living standards and build an economy that works for Scotland.
