BBC QuestionTime.. Jackie Baillie stated voters in "her area" don't support independence. In 2014 West Dunbartonshire voted 54%-46% for YES to independence. The following year, (2015) an 18,000 Labour held Westminster seat went to SNP by a 14,000 majority. In Jackie's "area ". 🙄

If all who voted SNP in the 2015 GE (*resulting in 56 seats out of 59) turn out in the same numbers and vote SNP in the 2024 GE it will result in a win - for independence. Only switching votes to Labour can stop that from happening....If you are seriously pro Indy #votesnp .

"I wish dearly Nicola Sturgeon had found a way to fall on her sword long before now"(RobinMcAlpine) This from a pseudo intellectual who has personally done nothing to further independence..but pronounces constantly on what others should/must do..*I know whose leadership I prefer.

Out campaigning I've met a lot of voters who don't intend to vote. Consensus (*in that grouping) is Westminster is corrupt- liars & self serving egotists are in control.(I agree).But NOT voting simply keeps them in power. Now more than ever we NEED to vote. #votesnp

50%+ of the electorate are in favour of independence.Starmer doesn't need our votes to win the General Election and become PM. He already has. He knows it. His arrogance is already on show.....Vote SNP in every constituency in Scotland if you truly believe in independence.

If you vote for @ScottishLabour in the 2024 General Election @AnasSarwar is NOT the leader you will be voting for. Be under no illusion....You will be voting for @UKLabour and for @Keir_Starmer as Prime Minister who will control Scotland via his proxy.

If Labour win a majority of seats in England in the 2024 GE (*not a majority of votes) that legitimises forming a Govt. If SNP win a majority of seats in Scotland (*not a majority of votes) it doesn't legitimise negotiations around independence ?. Clearly a denial of democracy.

Unionist media trying to trash reputations of CMO Gregor Smith/Professor Jason Leitch/former FM Nicola Sturgeon -"deleted Whats App" stories.The people of Scotland got factual, informative, live daily briefings on TV from all three followed by Q&A's... from the same journalists.

Unionist opposition parties are disingenuous in asserting that after 14 years Scotland under SNP (with limited powers) is still blighted by poverty...Put another way.. after 314 years of the Union (with full powers) poverty in Scotland hasn't been eradicated.

@HTScotPol Humza Yousaf did not lose a landmark court case. The Scottish Parliament lost a landmark court case. It was a cross party decision. SNP/Greens/Labour/Lib Dems(and one Tory) all voted to pass the legislation.....

FM facing a tsunami of difficulties/ problems/anti SNP pro union propaganda.Early days but @HumzaYousaf focused and setting out his own agenda and vision rather than be drawn into the narrative of the opposition. (Personal opinion? Far better than anticipated. Well done Humza.)

Apparently it's OK to ask the electorate in Aberdeen South to vote for a candidate that you have just made out to be a liar.. 🙄 🙄 🙄 🙄

Nicola Sturgeon handled debate well. Came across as competent/ able. Patrick Harvie continues to impress on Indy/climate. * Anas Sarwar is fixated on trying to win over a middle ground that doesn't exist. Douglas Ross is a shallow, shouty bully. Willie Rennie is an irrelevance...

If this is even remotely accurate then the myth that UKLabour MP's are needed in Scotland to help deliver a Westminster Govt is a busted flush.*They only need seats in Scotland as a continuing means of blocking independence. #VoteSNP2024

Contradictory headlines from the Record ...Also raises a question. Why would the Secretary of State for Scotland be given £150million to spend on fighting poverty in Scotland instead of the Scottish Govt being given the money to take forward the current anti poverty strategy?

It's worth noting six of the eight SNP MP's leaving Westminster are on the basis of retiral. Mhairi Black because she has a life ahead of her which needs exploring. Angela Crawley because she has a young family growing up.... Pretty much normal...

Only one reason for Boris Johnson refusing to hold a Cobra meeting despite the other three countries of the UK asking him to do so......He is the weakest link and afraid of being boxed into an agreement by the others...
