This is just so off the mark.
The SNP are not the same as independence.
Independence is not the same as the SNP.
Support for independence is gradually rising.
There are many other reasons for SNP vote collapse. (Shift to right & climate U-turn...)
More nuance please

SNP’s humiliation in Scotland shows independence is no longer a priority

The Tory
@GOVUK
is fixated on growth at all costs - meaning climate breakdown, nature destruction and worker exploitation 🔥
A liveable future requires new economic strategies

Great that
@GillianMacMSP
is calling for an urgent summit to be held. It must centre the voices of workers and the Grangemouth community. They need good, genuinely sustainable jobs, not just new ways to boost INEOS' profits.

Drax Power Station is the UK’s biggest carbon emitter & the world’s largest
#tree
burner. For the sake of our planet, we need to protect & restore our amazing
#forests
, not burn them in power stations like Drax.

Looking forward to
@EdClimateFest
today!
We have 5 years left to keep global temperatures from breaching safe levels.🔥
Come chat with us about how we can push the next UK Government to show leadership on climate. Because their plans aren't good enough.

Climate change isn't a game, it's not a political football. It's reality. This is about survival.
That's me at COP21 in Paris. Since then, far too little has been done to meet Paris Agreement commitments, here and globally.
#ClimateActionNow
#FossilFreeFuture
#JustTransitionNow
Today's Climate Change Committee report must be a wakeup call. For too long too little was done.
This is about survival. The stakes are too high for political posturing. We need to see action across all levels and areas of Government.

Last week I spoke at Edinburgh's amazing multi-arts venue Summerhall.
But it's future is under threat: it is up for sale.
📋I've signed the petition to keep Summerhall as a culture & community hub, not more luxury flats or offices

The
@scotgov
budget was passed today. Thanks to
#GreensInGovernment
, we’re raising taxes on those who can afford to pay a bit more and using that to lift thousands of children out of poverty.👧 Despite huge pressure caused by Tory UK Government's neoliberal financial choices.
💷 An extra £1 billion is being invested into social security to tackle poverty across Scotland.
👪 The Tory driven cost of living crisis has plunged thousands into poverty.
@scottishgreens
are reversing that trend, tackling inequality and helping those who need it the most.

"We want, we demand, a fairer greener Scotland."
I will continue fighting for this through my work in the Scottish Parliament, through community organising, as a campaigner + a Westminster candidate
