I see lots of Indy supporters on here criticising the @snp.org whilst failing to offer any other viable solution to gain #ScottishIndependence . If we fail to gain an Indy majority at Holyrood in 2026 these people are partly to blame. SNP is the only viable option in 2026 and that’s the reality.

🇬🇧 bbc (North britain Region) has been ramping up its “SNP Bad, Independence Bad, Scotland Bad” HR26 campaign

Yesterday centred around how the SNP Government was denying the people of Scotland the wonderful benefits of Nuclear Plants that we don’t need,but required to keep the lights on in England🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Monthly repost for this reminder in advance of election!
If "Scottish" Labour had any leverage at all,

Grangemouth would be safe,

The super-computer would be in Edinburgh,

The WASPI women would be compensated,

The two-child cap would be gone,

Pensioners would not freeze over winter.

But it doesn't.

It's a wasted vote!

Our country crossed a red line Saturday.

It was not a mistake.

It was not due to an issue of poor training.

It was not done by a rogue ICE agent or agents.

Before witnesses recorded & live to the American people and the world; the United States government murdered a United States citizen.

What are the polls saying? What does the campaign have in store? What could change in the 100 days between now and the big vote? Well if you're a BBS Superfan you'll be up on all this, but regardless you can catch me on Scotland Tonight this evening giving a run through it all!

Just watched Reporting Scotland and can’t believe their article promoting nuclear power in Scotland. It was basically a party political broadcast for Scottish Labour. It focussed on Scottish workers having to go south to work in the nuclear industry. BBC unionist bias at its best 😡

The UK Labour Government’s transmission charges are undermining the economics of Scottish offshore wind projects.

Braverman is one of the most repulsive politicians out there. Vicious, fascistic, useless, without principle, loyalty or *any* actual genuine success to her name.
Just cheating, lying, letting people down and delivering failure. No wonder she feels she’s “come home” to Reform. It’s a perfect fit.

Johnson culled the Tory Party of all but its grimmest dregs & now the grimmest of the grimmest dregs are defecting to Reform. It would be funny if it didn't alllow them, along with Farage, to pretend that they're not responsible for the state of the nation.

Thanks for a great chat gals! Finland proves Scots needn't apologise for being a small-medium sized, northern, progressive, peaceful state. We just need the tools to the trade - control with independence - to start motoring.
In this week's podcast we chat with @lesleyriddoch.bsky.social about her new film about Finland and some of the key concepts that Scotland can learn from including education, trust, security, practicality and much more.

Did you know that patient satisfaction surveys have rated NHS Scotland as 'improving', and far more highly than NHS England?

We are at a fork in the road, Scotland faces a choice between a future as an independent nation fully integrated into Europe, or being a part of an American vassal state, privatised and exploited, the Golf of America.
