I'm sorry but the police literally guard the gates to Downing Street and the door at Number 10. There is simply no way they didn't know that there were parties happening over the Christmas period when it was against the law. That is called complicity. @metpoliceuk

The UK Home Office tried to show up the First Minister today in her own constituency by sending in Immigration Enforcement teams during Eid. They view this as "muscular unionism". Do you know what is the antithesis of that? Muscular humanity. We're aw Jock Tamson's bairns. 👏👏👏

So let me get this straight, Scotland, which is self-sufficient in energy, is seeing massive consumer energy price increases to subsidise the rest of the UK, which isn't self-sufficient, because they need to import energy. We really do need out of this shitshow. #indyref2

I get the frustrations of people who have only been invested in the independence campaign since 2014. Your frame of reference is different to mine because you only have 6.5 years to look at. I, have seen the SNP progress over my lifetime toward independence. Now is the end game.

Unbelievable level of conspiracy theory nonsense today by Alba supporters, trying to say there are moves afoot to lower the age of sexual consent to 10. This really is some dangerous and malevolent shite now. It. Just. Isn’t. True.

Delighted that my good friend @kezdugdale 's position on #ScottishIndependence has changes somewhat since 2014. She may not be 100% of the way yet, but we should always warmly welcome people whose views are moving in our direction and encourage civil debate.

✅ Scottish Child Payment adds £25 per week (£1,300 pa) to family budgets *per child under 16* from November. ✅ Prescriptions are free in Scotland, saving average of £177 per person pa. ✅ Free school meals for Primary pupils saves families £400 pa.

Finally sick off being the story, the FM has caved to immense pressure from the unionist media to resign. In a normal country, with a normal media, this wouldn’t have happened, but in a media shot through with poisonous unionist bile, this is the result.

Suella Braverman is being tipped as the next UK PM. That really would be the descent into full-on fascism complete. She is a despicable character who will drag society ever further to the right. We need out of this Union desperately, to protect all of our people in Scotland.

Seeing a lot today on social media about the SNP having to build bridges with Alba etc in the run up to the independence referendum. No they don't. Alba members have to take a hard look at themselves and figure out how to move back toward the mainstream of Scottish politics.

I was pleased to see that the Catalan Parliament voted to be a Republic and to renounce the Spanish King. He deserved nothing less for his disgraceful speech after the Spanish police violence against peaceful voters on #1Oct #Catalonia

So Boris is going around saying even an @theSNP majority won’t be enough for a referendum. Anyone would think we were in the run up to the election and he was desperately trying to suppress the SNP vote. Don’t fall for this disingenuous Tory nonsense. #BothVotesSNP

@heraldscotland So let me get this straight, every election campaign is about independence but *checks notes* when the SNP win overwhelmingly, it’s not an endorsement of independence at all. Have I got that right? 😂

It absolutely astounds me the amount of people who, having supported #ScottishIndependence for five minutes feel qualified to criticise the efforts of Nicola Sturgeon to obtain it. There is a whole batshit meme that somehow, despite campaigning her whole life she doesn't want it.

Thread: When almost the entire media landscape in a country is vehemently opposed to the views and aspirations of around half of the population, it is entirely unsurprising that rancour exists. When impartiality is discarded for partisanship, it is no wonder when it is opposed.

How to lose #Catalonia Step 1 Brutalise their voters. Step 2 Arrest their civic leaders. Step 3 Abolish their Parliament. Game over Spain.

The legitimate Vice-President of #Catalonia has been sentenced to solitary confinement for 5 days for giving an interview as candidate for the #21D elections. If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention. The contempt for democracy is staggering.

@aziz0nomics It's very simple. It is called "self-determination", not "neighbour-determination". We are not 1/4 of *your* country, we are 100% of our own. Should the entirety of Europe be able to choose whether the UK was "allowed" to leave the EU? That is how your argument looks to Scotland.

Thread: Why it *has* to be #BothVotesSNP in May. I’m starting from the basis that without an SNP majority, there won’t be a referendum. This is a fact, as much for how the international community perceive our efforts to gain independence as for the home audience.

If any SNP politician had said what Jackie Baillie said today, the media pack in Scotland would be clamouring to doorstep them and demand their resignation. Because she's Labour, it's: See no Evil. 🙈 Hear no Evil. 🙉 Speak no Evil. 🙊 Shameful. 🥀

This is an absolute outrage. A spokesperson for Mariano Rajoy's party, Pablo Casado has said of @rogertorrent , the Catalan Parliament Speaker "He has two children, you know what he is doing." This is the language of gangsters and criminals, not democratic government. #Catalonia

A truly excellent night for the SNP in West Fife, scooping two local Council by-election victories. Congratulations to Sharon Green-Wilson who won Rosyth Ward and Derek Glen who won Dunfermline Central Ward. Lab trailed in fourth in Dunfermline Central and were third in Rosyth.
