Scotland’s future is our choice - not Westminster’s.

We can keep being held back by Westminster, or take the chance to build a fairer, stronger nation that works for everyone in Scotland. #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.
