In light of Alex Salmond passing, I believe that many Scottish people would like a united Yes movement going into Holyrood 2026. Follow me if you want the same and I'll follow back.
This is Laura Kuenssberg who hosts the BBC's flagship Sunday politics show.
Laura does not put pressure on Tory ministers but instead lets them get away with their lies.
Do you think Laura should be replaced by a competent unbiased journalist like Victoria Derbyshire?
Catherine, Princess of Wales, has had private abdominal surgery including 2 weeks recuperation. Not using the NHS. The UK tax payers pay for this private treatment and recuperation. Like if you think this is wrong. Repost if you want rid of the Royal Famine-ly.
This is Tommy Robinson. Today he was surrounded by hired bodyguards, just seconds before he bravely ran away- back to Tenerife.
Like of you think he should be jailed for leading the scenes at the Cenotaph today.
Retweet if you think Suella Braverman should be sacked as well.
Yesterday the men's elite cycling road race took place in Scotland for the first time ever. All the best cyclists in the world were there. The crowds were huge. Helicopters highlighted landmarks show casing Scotland (like Tour de France). It was consigned to the BBC red button.
Lindsay Hoyle throws his career out of the window to do a favour for Keir Starmer's Labour Party. Impartially thrown out of the window to help one political party. And a clear breach of parliamentary rules.
Prince Andrew named 67 times.
Including details that Buckingham palace firmly denied.
Will King Charles be the last British monarch.
Tick tock.

As a former player, I do not want political bias in my sport. Ruth Davidson was a radio journalist at BBC Scotland and then a Tory politician. Rather than fight the Tory right, she took a place in the House of Lords. She has nothing to offer Scottish Rugby.
My daughter will soon be 18. For the General Election, later this year, my household will have 4 x SNP voters.
I am making sure that we all have voter id. Make sure you do as well. We can't let the Tories win any seats!
Young Scots people!
Voting in your first Westminster election?
Ensure you have the correct ID.
You are the voters who have the most to gain from an independent Scotland.
Only a vote for the SNP will work towards Independence and ensure the Tories won't win any Scottish seats.
I don't normally watch GMB, so tuned in to hear Student loans in England to increase by 50% from September. And most shocking, to tackle the sewage crisis, in England, water companies to increase bills by up to 40%. Thank goodness I live in Scotland.
@theSNPs
call for a referendum on the Monarchy when independent is huge.
That would be a nail in the coffin of the class system in Scotland.
Finally breaking the class system leading to a truly fairer society.
It is the stuff of dreams to a Socialist.
Let's do this!
This is Ed Davey the leader of the Liberal Democrats. As Minister for Postal Affairs, he did not investigate the details of the Horizon Post Office scandal that had led to the wrongful prosecution of 100s of sub-postmasters.
Like and Repost if you want him to face justice.
The local elections in England show that the Tories are done for. It also shows that Labour are not as popular as they thought they were. That is why a vote for SNP is important. In a hung parliament, the SNP can influence and push for Independence. England at last is waking up.
To all young people in the UK.
Please take note and let this sink in.
The EU offered 18 to 30 year olds, from the UK, free movement in the EU.
You used to have that before Brexit.
LABOUR HAVE REJECTED THAT OFFER.
Vote Labour to restrict your freedom of movement.
RT PLEASE.
In a move that will infuriate Alba and the unionists, Kate Forbes will not be standing in the leadership contest.
Kate Forbes had a talk with John Swinney which means she will accept a top cabinet position in a united and stable SNP.

Scotland is the only country in the UK to provide free universal NHS funded eye examinations.
In some cases, the NHS will also give an optical voucher towards the cost of glasses or contact lenses.
Just another reason to like living in Scotland.
God forbid Labour gets in here.
My son has just finished his second year and my daughter will start at university in September. Funded by the Scottish government. Neither of my kids will be debt ridden. Labour wants to introduce tuition fees in Scotland.
My daughter has just completed her 1st year at uni and there are so many like her, we could never have afforded that for her without tuition being free
#VoteSNP
I, and many others,have been disgusted at the way the UK Covid inquiry prosecuted former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, in stark contrast to Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak's treatment.
Therefore I have made a one off donation to the
@SNP
and increased my direct debit.
The only 2 Scottish Labour MPs both voted for genocide last November. Over 10k children in Gaza have been killed since then.
If they, and Labour MPs in general, do not vote in favour of the SNPs ceasefire motion, how can anyone in Scotland vote Labour?
And here is the reason the Covid inquiry came to Edinburgh. To discredit Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP government in order to call for the end of devolution.
Despite Scotland having a lower death rate from Covid it is being pitched that Scotland was worse.
If anyone asks what is Scotland and/or the SNP doing about child poverty. Show them this.
£26.70 a week, per child under 16. It has been called a total game changer by charities and societies that cover child poverty. Not just in the UK, internationally.
In case anyone forgets facts given the ramped up unionist media lies.
1. Scotland had less covid deaths than rUK.
2. The death rate was still high because of one main factor. UKgov left our borders open allow the spread internationally including new variants.
A thread...
The GRR bill has been blocked and is not in place. Can someone explain why it is to blame for that rapist being evaluated and then placed in a men only prison under existing UK legislation?
MSM is going mad for Nicola Sturgeon being arrested. Oh how this great leader is being humiliated and the SNP will never get Independence. Suspend her! Surely she is a criminal. These are the last throes of the union. The union is over. So join the SNP and let's get Independence
SNP are not perfect.
But by hell they helped Scotland to a better standard than Labour ever did.
That is a great reason to NOT vote Labour.
Another reason is they sat on the McCrone Report showing the true wealth that Scotland had from oil in the 1970s. They kept us in poverty.
Without a speck of class.
With no respect for his position.
With the smirk of a fud.
DRoss really is the worst politician ever to have come out of Scotland (and he's beating a few awful people to that list).
This is embarrassing for him and he doesn't even know it.
I am a European.
I voted to Remain in the EU
Scotland voted to remain but we have no deal with the EU.
Neither the Tories or Labour will do anything to change this. Scotland is stuck in a hard Brexit that we did not vote for. The only way back into the EU is through independence
@Ross_Greer
@scottishgreens
You've lost my list vote. Did you ever support Independence? Given Lorna Slater said she would work with Labour and now your party backs a Tory motion. The Scottish Greens will sink without trace.
How to pay for the removal of the 2 child benefit cap (£2bn).
In April 2023 the Bankers Tax cut costs £7.3bn a year.
So get rid of this Bankers Tax cut AND the 2 child cap, and you will have £5bn spare for the NHS or tackling poverty.
Repost if you think this is a good idea.
@RealStephenKerr
Mhairi has a 1st class honours in politics from Glasgow University and holds a 10k majority as an MP. You have a degree in Business from Stirling and got in as 3rd choice list vote as an MSP. Mhairi is so out of your league you pale into insignificance and it shows.
All Scottish Independence supporters.

is back and active with a new team in place.
They scan Scottish media and point out inconsistencies and untruths. Pointing out when broadcasters fail to be impartial.
Please follow, repost and spread their work.
Thanks
You can now watch our five and a half minute mini-documentary 'The iPad' in full on twitter X.
The video highlights the disproportionate coverage BBC Scotland has given to an honest blunder and the lack of consistency when it comes to scrutinising similar Unionist
This is Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson.
This Shag Yeti fucktrumpet broke the law, repeatedly lied to Parliament and the people, and is mostly responsible for the high number of Covid deaths in the UK.
Do you think he should be in prison?
Like for Yes!
Repost for Hell Yes!
Dear young people. Margaret Thatcher was a bad person. Her only redeeming feature being the removal of Tory MPs from Scotland because she systematically destroyed primary manufacturing up here with no alternative employment.

When I was young there were no tuition fees. Further education was free. A large number of people got students grants to pay for accommodation, food. If travelling from distance you could claim travelling back as well. Vote Labour in Scotland and tuition fees will be introduced
6% pay offer to junior doctors in England is ridiculous given their Scottish counterparts are to receive a 12.4% increase. The Scottish deal includes at least an inflationary increase over the next 3 years and negotiations to restore pay levels. In England the UKgov don't care.
Scottish Labour activists saying people are switching from SNP to Labour.
1 . Independence
2. Rejoin EU
3. Scrap Trident
4. Scrap 2 child cap
British Labour refuse 1 and 2 and won’t scrap 3 and 4.
How can an SNP voter set those fundamentals aside and switch to voting Labour?
Happy
#followbackfriday
No matter how much the media try to demonise the SNP, it's our best chance of independence. Also the only party in Scotland (together with Scottish Greens for list) that I, as a socialist, can vote for.
Let’s stick together and keep fighting the fight 🏴
Remember Tony Blair's education, education, education speech? He and Labour then introduced tuition fees. Thank goodness for the SNP. While students in England face tuition fees up to £27,750, Scottish students receive university tuition for free, and always will under the SNP.
Hello followers.
I have been unfollowing people who have not followed me back.
I am a current SNP member and socialist.
I want Independence ASAP, but not a civil war.
So please retweet to like minded people so I can get some followers.
Thanks
The SNP are being excluded from the national TV debate.
Why?
Simply because Scotland is in a far better and fairer shape than England under the Tories and Wales under Labour.
And those parties do not want the rUK to be aware of this.
Hi
@itvnews
for your attention
#YesScots
will be calling for a boycott of your so called 'Leaders Debate' on June 4th. Your decision to exclude

@theSNP
the governing party in Scotland & third largest party in the House of Commons is a democratic outrage.
Scotland, under the SNP, make child payments, to those that need help, to raise children out of poverty. To the tune of £26.70 per week per child.
Wales, under Labour, make zero such payments.
England, under Tories, make zero such payments.
#VoteSNP
@alanferrier
@TartanSeer
Yeah because good wishes will lift millions out of poverty while you live in palaces and luxury, mostly at the tax payers' expense.
People of Scotland and peoples of England and Wales.
Scottish Labour routinely gets into bed with the Tories to have majority council administrations. Labour and Tories work together to make vital local decisions. They are partners in local councils.
ISN'T THAT FUCKING LUDICROUS!
So if you have a family and work and then you have children and your partner dies, you have additional responsibilities. In Scotland you will qualify for child payments. Not in Labour Wales or Tory England. You are surplus to requirements. And they don't care about your children.
The State of the Union.
UKGov are terrified of losing Scotland.
Ongoing Police investigation into £600k of the SNP's funds (not tax payers money) has stalled.
As the polls move towards more positive news for the SNP, so do the calls to end devolution.
The last throes of the union
@NeilMackay
You won't get a Brexiteer admitting the true benefit for alot of them. It means they escape the EU tax directive and can continue to hide their money in tax havens. Not a Brexiteer.
This is an absolute disgrace. The Chancellor running around news shows today shamelessly telling viewers - UNCHALLENGED - giving public sector workers inflation busting pay rises will entrench high inflation. The claim has been completely rubbished by most economists!!
Over 5000 followers for the first time. Thanks all. I must have blocked hundreds of bots so the vast vast majority are real. I support Independence for Scotland, SNP member. I want a ceasefire in Gaza now, to stop the genocide. I detest Tories. I like cycling!
First time helping, I hope, and not the last time, my MP
@MartynDaySNP
with campaigning. Delighted to have met you Martyn. I'm not always available but happy to help out when I am.
Thank you again to
@alexgill_
for your campaigning work that inspired me to take this step.
How Scotland is treated by the BBC. BBC Wales have a glitzy showbiz Christmas in Cardiff and a Welsh Sports Personality of the Year. BBC Scotland have 20 years of shite. All efforts are SNP bad. It's stark and embarrassing for a institution that are clining onto their jobs.
Next week in Parliament, I will be voting for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. I urge fellow MPs to wake up, think about what is happening in Gaza, and do the same.
Fascist states appoint who they want. This is what all those that voted Tory were enabling. I want Scotland away from this shit show ASAP. Independence now!
The Prime Minister has asked me to serve as his Foreign Secretary and I have gladly accepted.
We are facing a daunting set of international challenges, including the war in Ukraine and the crisis in the Middle East. At this time of profound global change, it has rarely been more
Better Together........NOT!
Should the SNP refuse to sit at Westminster until Hoyle resigns?
I personally don't think the other parties at Westminster would care!
The corrupt bandwagon would just trundle on with gesture politics.
General Election date now please!
BREAKING: Speaker Lindsay Hoyle has denied the SNP a second debate on a ceasefire in Gaza despite previously offering one.
The revelation came after Stephen Flynn raised a point of order in the House of Commons
The CEO of Medical Aid for Palestinians, Melanie Ward, has been chosen as Labour candidate for Cowdenbeath and Kirkcaldy.
How can someone so integral in helping Palestinians be associated with the Zionist Sir Keir Starmer?
Hey
@Keir_Starmer
Looks like you have lost control of your Scottish branch.
They just all, quite rightly, backed Humza Yousaf's call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
On this, your Scottish MSPs are on the right side of history, you are not.
The Rutherglen and Hamilton West By Election is getting a huge amount of press coverage. All kudos to SNP activists in getting the message across. But will we be closely monitoring the count? We wouldn't want any electoral anomalies creeping in.
In this year's General Election, probably more than any General Election ever before, a vote for Green, Alba, Scottish Socialist candidate or any proIndy independent candidate is a wasted vote if you want Independence for Scotland.
IMO it has to be SNP in 2024.
Scotland is in a fight for its very survival at the General Election yet the supposedly independence supporting Greens choose to split the independence vote in 32 constituencies: That's it I have had it with the Greens. TBH I was never a fan anyway.
Wouldn't it be fun if this could be recreated in Rutherglen and Hamilton West. I don't think the Better Together fanboys and girls in the "Scottish" Labour Party would like that.
And they definitely would not want you to like or Retweet this post!
Labour's Anas Sarwar promised us that GB Energy would be a publicly owned company that would generate and sell renewable energy – like the publicly owned energy companies that are common throughout Europe – and would create 70k jobs in Scotland.
HE LIED
@LornaRetiree
Currently, in a General Election, any votes for Alba, Scottish Greens, ISP, Independents for Independence are a wasted vote, currently. Only a vote for the SNP can defeat unionist parties in this election.
@proscot4indy
@BjCruickshank
If Labour were socialist, Wales would have Child payments like we do in Scotland. Ergo the SNP are closer to socialism than Labour. Hence, as a socialist, I vote SNP.
@msm_monitor
ITV have just blamed the SNP for the Glasgow drug problem. But it is the UKgov that control drug legislation avoiding reports from Scotgov. They also own the borders so have failed to stop the drugs coming into Scotland. Surely this warrants an official complaint.
I happened to be in Edinburgh to get my daughter some earrings, when I came across a very good natured Free Palestime March. It took us a bit out of our way but we marched with them for a bit and got the earrings in the end!
And no. I do not support Hamas.
THE “risk” of Scottish independence was the primary challenge facing the UK Government through the pandemic – except for Covid itself, Gove said.
State of the Union report commissioned by Gove.
Let us be clear. The SNP have not abandoned Green policy. Net zero by 2045 is still a target.
An amended plan is required that is realistic. 75% by 2030 (cooked up by Labour and the Libdems) was never going to happen, especially given the reaction to ULEZ and the budget cuts.
The Labour Party, in abstaining in the HOL, have just screwed the right to Public Protest. They are as guilty as the Tories in this. So sad that a once left of centre party is now in such a state.
Lords voted 154-68 to let Tory govt change the Public Order Act through the back door, Unprecedented.
Our freedoms to protest gone; police have carte blanche, no accountability.
Labour peers told to abstain on Jenny Jones' motion. I voted for it.
We have a police state.
Starmer is leaking votes of Muslims with his initial no holds barred support for Israel flattening Gaza. Sarwar tries to say he's a Glasgow "nationalist". To try to entice SNP voters? So are we all enticed?
Soooo what's going on here I wonder 🤔,
Is Sarwar distancing himself from the big boss in WM or is it him trying to pull the wool?. Gaslight Scots that he actually cares.
I back the SNP to start the process for Indyref2 if they get more than 50% of the General Election seats in Scotland. If they get 50%+ and don't start the process then they will lose my membership. Do you back them.
@STVNews
Alarming to think of all those people who think that he committed a hate crime by pointing out facts in an anti racism debate. Stop wasting the police's time and tax payers money. All eyes to Ibrox on Sunday for Coisty and the Teddy Bears!
Let's be very clear here. The union are updating their playbook on account of their plans not working out. Labelling people who want an end to union as extremists, is an attempt to label us like Catalonia. So if SNP do better than expected and ask for negotiations then the UK 1/2
This is the current state of the UK.
Check out the gushiness over this charged rapist and compare it to the pure hatred from the MSM for Nicola Sturgeon.
They gave this charged sex offender (alleged) a knighthood for propping up the Tories!
Diana wrote a letter 10 months before her death. "My husband is planning an accident in my car, brake failure and head injury". Never mind Camilla shagger Charles was shagging the nanny. And Charles will be King next week.
My point exactly. Labour talk about devolved matters but this is a General Election on non devolved matters and the state of the UK.
So what are Labour changing at a UK level that will make a difference?
SNP want Independence and so do I. That is a change worth voting for.
Look out for our next video coming later today.
Interviewing Labour
Why are devolved areas the subject of BBC Scotland interviews in a UK general election?
@BjCruickshank
That is why so many of the left in Scotland cannot vote Labour and, like I did, stopped their Labour membership and now back the SNP. That includes many NHS workers.
Trying to get to 5k followers. So would appreciate reposts 😃

Good that the law is delivering in Scotland, careful discussing it....see below. In London, MPs who rape, bribe and gift huge sums of public money (billions) do not get prosecuted.
Scotland's new First Minister is John Swinney who said, leading up to the vote, it is with a "burning ambition for a better future for this country that I am seeking to become first minister".
"Scottish self-government is the right way forward for Scotland."
In Scotland, if you didn't vote at today's General Election, please state why in the comments. If you did, for which party? Other parties in the comments.
