The decision to go on hunger strike is an act of desperation in the face of Labour Government intransigence as it upholds its support for Netanyahu’s blood-soaked regime, writes Richie Venton ✍️

Same NHS. Two choices. In England, you pay nearly a tenner for medicine. In Scotland, prescriptions are free — thanks to SNP policy. This is what different priorities look like.

Starmer, Scotland has had enough of storing leaking nuclear power stations, weapons and resulting waste for Westminster
Starmer is looking for sites for new nuclear power stations. Dounrey was one and it will take until 2336 (>300 years) 'til it can be reused as a brownfield site. They're eying Scotland to site these to satisfy England's power cravings. We don't need them, we have renewables!

💯 I’m an SNP member and will be voting this way.
To all pro-Indy folk, I think this is worth reposting multiple times. It’s not disloyal to vote SNP 1 & Green 2, as the formula penalises parties who have more constituency MSPs.
Based on the table below, if Green gets those list votes, they gain 22 list MSPs!

They might not be perfect, But it beats the fuck out of me that so many in Scotland prefer Westminster parties than the SNP.
Westminster has had 300 years to get it right for us & they still make an arse of it & themselves. Mired in corruption, sleaze & sex scandals.
Surely we could do better?

BBC Scotland output errors detrimental to the SNP
They don't apologise or correct errors and if they do the time-lapse nullifies the point of the correction/apology.
Why? because they're not errors, poor journalism, ineptness. It is editorial direction to manipulate public opinion.

New CBI report shows business investment in Scotland is at a 20-year high.
Despite damaging Westminster decisions like Brexit or Labour's tax on jobs, our economy has many strengths.
Imagine how much more we could do with the full powers of independence.
