Scotland could have been one of the richest nations on Earth if it wasn`t for the labour party lying about and making sure the oil wealth went to london.
Making Scotland the poor relation of the UK has always been labour policy in order to have captured votes
The london controlled media is pushing the theme, "the SNP motion was to embarrass labour"
Do they not realize that that means Starmer blackmailed the Speaker in order to spare labour embarrassment.

Those with the most Anti-SNP blinkers on must admit that Scot Govt were STREETS ahead of WM Govt during the pandemic. We all watched as Nicola Sturgeon captured the respect of many across the world. That’s when they realised they must neuter her & they did.
Labour will never save Grangemouth, why because its been labour policy for decades to make Scotland dependent on England as a way of touting for votes.
Labour are all for pushing the theme, "Scotland is a poor nation" needing the union.
thats why they lied about the oil revenues

Its long been a secret labour policy to keep Scotland as the poor relation in the UK.
They see it as a way to capture votes, their mantra during the minimum alcohol debate was ,
Keep them drunk,
Keep them poor
Keep their votes
The most disgusting part of the ceasefire vote at wesminster is that labour objected to the term "collective punishment", yet "Scottish" labour used that term in their motion,
Sarwar really is Starmer`s puppet
The SNP have been failing Scotland for so long that SLS now have members not even born at the 2007 election 🤯 Students deserve better; Scotland deserves better 🌹
Labour`s house jocks are wetting them selves with excitment, they think this agitation in Scottish politics will favour them.
Not so, the indy vote is still there and the SNP will get it, so lets have an election,
Gordon broon,
Douglas Alexander,
Michael Shanks, Ian Murray,
all the goody goody voices of labour,
all silent on the deaths of kids and starving of them in Gaza
Slab are pushing the Whats app smear and of course have the anti Scottish media on board, if they really want to find oot what the messages said , ask the cops they went through the SNP records during their 2 year investigation and found nothing
Lately the yoon/media attacks against the SNP have tended to focus on Humza, with snide nuanced references about race.
Not only from far right nutters but political yoons/posters as well.
We have them worried ,they are terrified of losing Scotland.
So desperate are the tory Britnats to lay a glove on Humza that they are pushing this tory free nonsense, last year the tried the same with Nicola`s detest the tories comment.
If thats the only issue they can come up with, then we will be tory free
Women workers in Glasgow,
Waspi women,
Mothers getting child benefits
Students ,
Grangemouth workers,
what do they have in common,
All sold out by labour
labour are trying to breath life into a whatsapp issue, what they dont realise is the public dont care about "she said,he said" , but people will remember how proud Nicola made them feel about Scotland with her world class performance during the pandemic.
It seems the london luvie media types are now feeling bold enough to insult Scots by calling us a "haggis"
Amanda Platell called Nicola an overstuffed haggis,
Camilla Tominey calls the Scots in Westminster "a side helping of haggis"
In 2009 Israel bombed Gaza over several days, killing over 1,300 people, including 460 children. The BBC refused to broadcast an appeal by the Disasters Emergency Committee for aid to Gaza. This was Tony Benns response live on air
@clovosaurus
I take it then you are a Scottish citizen who approves of starving the children of Gaza.
Glad you agree there is such a thing as a Scottish citizen
Which reporter has embarrassed themselves the most during this week's Hate Crime hysteria? BBC Scotland's Andrew Kerr. Kerr panicked when asked if the refusal to arrest JK Rowling put the free speech claim to bed. He just didn't want to say yes, so started rambling.
Something Scotland can be proud of, while the kids in Gaza were starving the UK stopped funding the UN charity that was providing food, Scotland continued to fund the UN charity
"You're being disingenuous. I've already seen you leave the pavement and walk in the opposite direction into the march." Says officer.
Clear agitation by the man, in the hope to stir trouble.
Misogyny and snobbery I'd say part answer below.But they also know she's brilliant charismatic politician who cuts through as they never can and that right wing press will do their bidding(not to mention police pressurised to investigate alleged minor offence that's time barred)
The present labour party MPs, [especially ones in a Scottish seat such as Ian Murray and Michael Shanks], who support genocide, should watch this and be ashamed
Ian omits Wales, but of course when it comes to Wales labour blame the tories, when it comes to Scotland its another story, indeed labour are in council coalitions with the tories in Scotland.
Every time Labour takes power it has to save the NHS. Shamefully for the UK and Scottish Governments, this election will be no different.

@edinburghpaper
@joycemcm
Joyce, the criticism is fake, they couldn`t care less about "hate crime" after all its the law in England and Wales as well.
The`re using the timing as just another stick to beat the SNP. The usual suspects.
If thats all they have it means the SNP must be doing not bad
‘‘If you can’t run a deposit return scheme, then how do you think you can manage a country.’’
Keir Starmer’s thoughts on Scotland becoming independent.
Please I urge every Indy supporter to retweet.

@BothyCat53
@LesBlair53
and friends.
A vote at the next GE for independents ?, ALBA or even the Greens is a vote against independence.
such a vote only helps labour , and they want to privatise the NHS , means test the state pension

“I liked Alex Salmond and thought Nicola did a good job during Covid, but after this week...never again.”
Aye right, made up quote, but shows labour know they have to convince independence supporters and as long as labour are against indyref2 it aint going to happen
If all this fake outrage from the yoons and their media over hate crime is all they have to attack the SNP with then the SNP govt is doing all right.
Strange part is the london media have mentioned the bill but have`nt condemned it
Alex Salmond is getting great support from tories, labour, libs and the far right I wonder if that pleases Alba, it shouldn`t because Alex and ALBA has little support from independence supporters.
Alex`s court action will see the end of ALBA
@msm_monitor
What ever the immediate outcome, independence will come,
1 because when 50% of the people support any policy it happens, and that 50% are politically engaged.
2 WE have the young on our side more than 50% of them.
I only hope I live to see the day
How naive is Stephen Noon when on QT he suggested that labour would devolve more powers to Holyrood, has he forgoten the "vow" and the Smith commission where labour of the three yoon parties were the most opposed to new powers.
Starmer has already said no to new powers
@BenProcter
Ben says,"Because to them, this was never about Gaza but trying to score a political goal against Labour"
but doesn`t realize that ,that means Starmer blackmailing Hoyle was to prevent a political goal,and nothing to do with "safety" or a wide "spread of views"
When confronted by a panel member about Keir Starmer saying Israel was right to cut off food.water and Energy , JO Coburn said "but that was in October"
so she thinks it was ok to starve Palestinians in October
@Kevin_Maguire
OH dear Kevin, your hatred of the real social democratic politics of the SNP as opposed to labours new tory politics blinds you, keep up with events,

I do not intend to give a running commentary on the ongoing Inquiry. Instead, out of respect to all those impacted by the pandemic, I will answer questions directly and openly when I give evidence at the end of this month

Unspeakable. Israel slaughtering civilians as collective punishment. These are war crimes. Western democracies must stop selling arms to Israel.

@jruddy99
Is John Ruddy so ashamed of labour support of Genocide in Gaza that he cant talk about it or does he agree with Starmer that Israel has a right to bomb or starve children
“[Labour] made a choice about which Red Wall to try to regain: Was it the North of England Red Wall or the Scotland Red Wall? In going for the North of England Red Wall they basically had to give up on Scotland, although of course they'll never admit it.” —Professor John Curtice
Cameron and Starmer on TV this morning, both want to double down on genocide in Gaza, not a word of regret or condemnation about the deaths of so many men, women and children.
@AlexSalmond
Alex, he has at least to go through the motions, to let labour refuse, then we go to a new solution.
I would like to hear any suggestions you have when the 30 order is refused
how will labours policies go down with voters in a Holyrood election,
support genocide,
privatise NHS,
raise pension age,
means test pensions,
close Grangemouth,
close Fergusons,
bash immigrants,
@BrigadoonBawbag
Broon is a guy who stopped Scotland becoming one of the richest nations on Earth, like Norway, just because he wanted his london friends to have the oil revenues,
Saw Ed Davey the Libdem leader speak about Gaza at his conference,
He was careful not to use the words Genocide or collective punishment.
He mentioned ceasefire two times and both times used a caveat before ceasefire.
The Libs like labour are following the london estb, line
@murdo_fraser
The term "red coats" has never been used to describe Scottish regiments, it was only used in the 18th C to describe the British army in Scotland during the independence wars in the early 18thC or in the American independence war later
ever noticed Anas Sarwars contrived pattern in FMQs, he waits until his last question and then goes into fake outrage mode, whatever the subject he pretends to be angry about it.
A clear demonstration of what you get with ‘Scottish’ Labour … a weak govt overruled by London Labour at a whim
Branch mgr Anas Sarwar swatted away like an irksome midge by Starmer whenever he tries to stand up to London Labour’s autocratic policies👇
Starmer is not the first leader to sell out the trade unions, Kinnock did it over the miners strike, while the SNP have quashed miners convictions labour wont. Blair kept Thatchers anti union laws, so did Broon.
The mere fact that Sarwar has to make the false claim that Scottish labour MPs will have different policies from london labour shows that polling for labour in Scotland is dire.
Scots wont vote for a labour party that`s a new tory party or one that supports Genocide
@EJ_McGuinness
@alexgill_
how rich is that, a tory Spectator reader calling someone else xenophobic, its not independence supporters who hate foreigners
We now have a party in the commons with more of them to come who have declared war on the Muslin population and immigrants, and thats just the labour party.
With Reform far right politics now have a voice , for Scotland to escape we must have independence
@D_G_Alexander
Douglas Alexander is admitting that after over 300 years of london controlling Scotland`s economy and as much oil extracted from Scottish waters as made Norway very rich, Scotland is the poor relation of the UK. The union has failed Scotland.
@lisanandy
English nationalism is good as we want to represent everyone, in fact, we insist on it. Scottish and Welsh nationalism is bad because we say so.
