Getting told that I’m a ‘newcomer’ to Scotland, therefore I don’t understand it’s heritage and don’t have a say in Scotland’s future 😂
I was born in Scotland, therefore I am Scottish. Hope that clears it up for every racist out there.
A very sad day for Scottish Democracy.
This is not a voluntary union, nor is it a union of equals. The UK Supreme Court ruling has made that clear. No one should have a say in the future of Scotland other than the people who live in Scotland.
With every racist comment that comes my way about my Indian heritage, just know this -
I’ll be sleeping with a smile on my face tonight knowing I ate a delicious home made Indian dinner made by my Punjabi mum 😊
Scottish Independence is not a vote about the SNP, Nicola Sturgeon or anyone else.
It’s a vote for the betterment of your country in which you have a say in. Please bear that in mind.
Absolutely delighted to announce that I’m starting a new job with The Scottish Parliament in
@NicolaSturgeon
’s constituency office in 2 weeks.
I can’t describe how grateful and excited I am to start this new chapter in my life.
Never give up on your dreams. ✨💛
‘The SNP are obsessed with independence’
‘Why do the SNP keep talking about independence?’
As a PRO Independence Party who won a mandate last year to hold an independence referendum in Scotland, they’re delivering what people voted for. Hope that clears it up x
As strong as
@NicolaSturgeon
is as a leader and woman, her face here says so much. To not be able to answer any question without men shouting over her repeatedly would be tiring and draining.
She is a great example to lead by, and again - we are lucky to have her.
‘The people of Scotland elected a Scottish Parliament with a decisive majority in favour of both independence and the right to choose.
The Scottish Parliament therefore has an indisputable democratic mandate, and we intend to honour it.’

@NicolaSturgeon
The fact that the Tories are going crazy after Nicola Sturgeon said that she ‘detests the Tories and everything that they stand for’ is hilarious 😂
Absolutely rattled x
The utter brass neck of Scottish Labour and Anas Sarwar to say they won’t make any deals with the SNP, but continues to celebrate their ‘progress’ listing their councils collaborated with the Tories.
That’s not progress, that’s failing Scotland.
The fact that ALL people who are legally residing in Scotland (Scottish born or not) have the right to vote truly shows that Scotland is an inclusive country.
It makes me so proud to be Scottish 🏴
Supporting our FM today in Southside.
@NicolaSturgeon
speaks to so many people in a day and she asked me if I was feeling better after being in hospital 🥺 this is why we all love and adore her.

I’m so sick and tired of ignorant and bigoted people telling me that I and ethnic minorities don’t belong here.
I’m Scottish born and bred and for the ethnic minorities who weren’t born here and live in Scotland, they certainly belong.
Also, can I add: even if you weren’t born in Scotland and reside here, you’re still Scottish. That’s what makes this country so beautiful. A welcoming and outward looking nation.
Ian Blackford walked out of that chamber with his head held high standing up for his constituents, the law and the people of the UK stating exactly what we all know:
Boris Johnson is a liar and he has mislead Parliament.
The brass neck of the
@ScotTories
to say that the SNP Government aren’t listening to the people of Scotland by holding an independence referendum.
Those same people of Scotland haven’t voted for a Tory majority since 1955.
For those who are replying to my picture with Nicola saying ‘she’s just a politician’ and ‘you shouldn’t be starstruck’
I look up to her. Why does that bother you? To me, she’s a strong leader who has led this country through a pandemic and done a lot as our FM. I stand by her.
I wholeheartedly stand with Nicola. She is one of the greatest politicians of our time and she is head and shoulders above any other politician we’ve ever had. A true inspiration 💛🏴
#IStandWithNicola
Laura Kuenssberg makes the case for independence even more.
By stating Scotland simply ‘aren’t allowed’ to have another independence referendum because Starmer & Sunak don’t want to talk about it is undemocratic.
The people of Scotland should decide, not who sits in Downing St.
Scotland needs out ASAP. This is an utter shambles.
Vote YES on 19th October 2023 for a brighter future in Scotland and not for incompetent leaders who don’t have a clue what they’re doing.

I’m honestly ashamed and disgusted to see the racist comments made towards
@AnasSarwar
by trolls telling him to go back to his country. He’s already in his country.
This is not the Scotland we live in. It’s shameful.
Stephen Flynn’s frustration and anger today is what a lot of us are feeling at the moment.
Westminster has never taken our party seriously. On an SNP opposition day, how on earth can the Labour vote take place first? This is absurd and corrupt to the core.
Liz Truss: ‘The best thing to do with Nicola Sturgeon is ignore her’
Nicola Sturgeon was voted as First Minister democratically by the people of Scotland who also just won a re-election.
Truss is ignorant, shameful and out of touch with her comment.
🏴 To the people of Scotland:
Let’s ensure this is the last Tory PM who makes our decisions for us. We have a choice to vote to free ourselves from a government we never voted for. Let’s put our future in our own hands.

Hi
@Sunday_Mail
, I’ve noticed that you’ve used two images of mine in your article today without my permission and consent which is a breach of copyright.
I didn't agree to the pictures being used so can you remove them.
To make it clear, Nicola Sturgeon resigned - that doesn’t mean the SNP resigned. The SNP are still in government and will be looking to win the next election.
Tory Councillor Burgess is now sitting in the Dep Provost chair for North Lanarkshire Council.
However,
@AnasSarwar
said on May 20th;
“no ifs, no buts, no coalitions with the Tories.
This is not what North Lanarkshire voted for.
The racial abuse and just general callous abuse I’ve received today because of the colour of my skin and political affiliation has been overwhelming and really quite difficult to read.
For those who have abused me, please have a strong word with yourselves.
Nicola Sturgeon has been absolutely formidable during her time as First Minister. She has outshone every other leader in the UK and we are so sad to see her go.
Big shoes to fill going forward.
Lindsay Hoyle is completely unfit to remain as Speaker after his actions last week. He needs to go.
Westminster is corrupt to the core - this includes the Tories and Labour.
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 SNP promised to bring in free school meals for all primary pupils.
But they didn't deliver. Their delays left pupils in P6 and P7 without the meals they were promised.
The SNP, as always, failing to prioritise & deliver for Scotland’s children👇
If Scottish Labour MPs choose to vote against the SNP amendment tonight, then you know that Labour never planned to put Scotland at the heart of this government.
I’m just disgusted at the reaction Humza and his family are receiving after his condemnation.
You don’t need to agree with his politics, however he should be able to speak openly about the worries & concerns he has regarding his family. Be a decent human.
The replies are sick.
‘I think it is time for Scotland to get rid of the whole broken corrupt Westminster system that is holding us back - and we can only do that by becoming an independent country’

🏴 Independence can be seen as quite daunting for some. It’s a change, but change is needed for our future.
Scottish independence is a better solution than the current state of a government we’re in. Westminster does not work for Scotland.
It was the SNP who called for an immediate ceasefire last November. It was the SNP who encouraged Labour to call for one now.
It wasn’t the SNP whose leader pressured the Speaker to save his job unless he called Labour’s Gaza amendment.
Who’s playing games then? 🤔
Our families hearts are paining at the sudden loss of our brother, Amit.
You were the best person I knew and taken from this world too soon. I can’t really process that you’re gone.
I miss you so much. I will love you forever. May you be resting in peace and in a better place.
Politics aside,
@NicolaSturgeon
is such a kind hearted woman who has so much to deal with (seeing the country through a global pandemic) and still has the time to take a video to say hello to everyone. She’s absolutely class and I’m so proud to call her my leader 🏴💛
“Only this week the Scottish Child Payment rose to £25 a week - a 150% increase in 8 months. It will help 400,000 children." -
@kirstenoswald
If Scotland can do this with the limited powers that we have, just imagine what we can do with the full powers of independence.
Politics aside,
Nicola being the only woman and the strongest and most eloquent speaker in this debate gives me goosebumps. Such a strong and passionate leader - we love to see it.
#STVDebate
It seems the House of Commons are having a slow day by using all their time into this investigation into John Nicholson MP.
I don't remember the Chamber putting this much importance when the Tories partied during lockdown & broke the rules when members of the public were dying
I’ve always known that
@NicolaSturgeon
is one of the most articulate politicians of our time and the way she answered every question in Parliament today was just another prime example.
What a great first day of the new parliamentary term.
🇪🇺 An independent Scotland would aim to rejoin the EU as soon as it can, allowing Scottish citizens to take up their rights as EU citizens once more.
🏴 Once Scotland becomes an EU member state, Scottish citizens would regain the right to free movement across the European Union.
The replies to this are absolutely abhorrent and vile.
People wanted the FM to condemn, now that he has and is using his own personal story to convey what is actually happening, he’s being slammed.
Shame on everyone who’s responded to this disgustingly.
International Roma Day in Govanhill Park this afternoon. Thank you to all who organised this and inviting
@NicolaSturgeon
to celebrate with the community.
🏴 Latest polling from Ipsos Mory shows support for Scottish Independence rising to 56%.
Keep the heid. The case for independence isn’t going anywhere.
For the misogynists who have commented on my appearance and features and have had the audacity to tell me that that I shouldn’t be posting pictures of myself - here’s another one 🙂
You are no one to tell women what they should & shouldn’t do. Away you go with your misogyny.
So proud to be

Have the BBC been living under a rock? The SNP have been pushing this for years.
To use the word ‘join’ is extremely misleading, not to mention just completely incorrect.
Reminder: A rally for Scottish Independence outside at these locations:
The Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh at 5.30pm.
Royal Concert Hall steps on Buchanan Street, Glasgow at 5.30pm
Make your voice be heard. Independence has never been more crucial while the UK is declining.
To have such high levels of responsibility to manage a global pandemic & keep the rest of the country safe, you couldn't even imagine how difficult it would be.
No other political leader in Scotland could have managed it as well as Nicola Sturgeon did. She did her very best.
We have been exceptionally lucky to have politicians like
@NicolaSturgeon
and
@JohnSwinney
of such high calibre running our Scottish Government. Both will be sorely missed. Thank you for everything.
No surprise that most news and media outlets won't be speaking about Alister Jack and his deletion of WhatsApp messages.
Doesn't suit their narrative of slamming the Scottish Government. Pathetic.
