In 2014 we were told the oil and gas was running out. Now the UK announce a big expansion in drilling.
Another of your lies busted. Have you got the integrity and the balls to apologise to us? I think we all know the answer.
During the pandemic, Sturgeon, Leitch & others stood up in front of tv cameras and journalists. We could look in their eyes as they told us what was happening, what they were doing about it, & why. They took questions.
Who gives a flying fuck about WhatsApp messages? I don't.
I'm looking more deeply at the results.
On the face of it, it was a very bad night for Scotland, but despite that, the SNP still won 30% of the vote. It wasn't all that long ago that 30% would have been an outstanding result. So let's keep the head & start on

We’ve made incredible progress in government - imagine how much further we could go with independence.

In May 2020, Jeane freeman revealed that the UK Govt's Dept of International Trade & FCO had instructed foreign companies not to support new orders for PPE equipment from the devolved administrations.
Labour MSP Jackie Baillie has accused Gregor Smith and Jason Leitch of being part of a government coverup during the pandemic. This is an extraordinary attack on two health professionals by Anas Sarwar's deputy. Sarwar must surely distance himself from these comments. Will he?
@EuroScot2021
There were 6 councils in Scotland where Labour had the choice to go in with either the SNP, or the tories.
Each time they chose the tories.
We ken which side they'd back in that situation.
With scarcely a voice being raised against it, we are sliding into a police state, in which an entirely peaceful protester, trying to prevent a societal catastrophe, can get six months in jail for marching slowly down the road.
If you aren't going to vote SNP because you find some of Kate Forbes's views abhorrent, what will you do when we end up with a Sarwar/Ross coalition in Holyrood?
BREAKING: The SNP lead Labour by seven points and would pick up 40 seats in the next General Election, according to the latest polling from IPSOS.
The Tories meanwhile would pick up only two seats.
It's fantastic to see all the scenes in Germany. The Tartan Army are doing us all proud. It's safe to say that they have done more in a few days to promote Scotland than all the Brit Ambassadors have done in decades.
Scottish Secretary Alister Jack tells MPs is to "wholly unacceptable for the Scottish Government to promote foreign policies which are at odds with those of the UK Government".
Those yoons who insisted that we had different restrictions in Scotland because "wee Nippy" just wanted us to be different are rather quiet tonight. Has something happened?
Tweet of the day. This is it. This is what it comes down to. Do you want a parliament and government focused on the needs of you, your family, your neighbours, and your country, or do you want one who only cares about another country?
#VoteSNP
Look on the bright side. Cameron may not be in the HOL for very long as Labour will be abolishing it within weeks if they win the next election. Won't they?
@Lewisf42
I grew up in sight of the Beatrice oil field. The gas flares were a sight to see. I used to watch them and then see TV news stories of Scots living in cold damp houses. I couldn't get my head round that. It was one of the reasons why I realised independence was essential.
Congratulations to the Italian Consulate General and Italian Cultural Institute in Scotland for their plans for an impressive new joint HQ in central Edinburgh.

Was Wales prepared?
Scots must never forget nor forgive the fact that you, personally, tried to block public health information being given to us during the pandemic. You're a disgrace.
The SNP have delivered more than 128,000 affordable homes, of which over 90,000 are homes for
social rent – that’s 43% more affordable homes per head of population than England, and 73% more than Wales.
@LizzieLabour
I was there too. I saw you all betray Scotland. I watched as you cheered while Blair lied to start his illegal war. I watched Gordon Brown raid our pensions, crash the economy and smash the banks.
Tell that story on the doorsteps. Be honest for once.

The long-retired *bacteriologist*? Well, I suppose if we were facing a global attack by contaminated cheese he might have been useful. Otherwise, not so much.
The media never, ever reports this.
All three Unionist parties *demanded* the Ferguson Ferries contract go to Ferguson Marine. Labour demanded the Scottish Govt "find a way" to ensure the yard won the contract. The LDs urged the Scottish Govt to buy the yard to save jobs.

Who can blame them? Countryside Alliance are scumbags and accepting a donation from an organisation whose members frequently break the law would be disastrous for the RNLI.

in coalition with them in council after council? Why has he put them in power? Why is he enthusiastically implementing their austerity policies?
#BBCDN
10 years of "Better Together" have proved this man right. The Tories did their worst and have shown that Scotland would be a far better place as an independent nation, and that was his point. Let's vote again, with hindsight and a lesson hard learned.

Labour’s PFI legacy is hammering
@SouthLanCouncil
.
Despite the contract having a value of £320m, the council will be paying back £1.3 BILLION - £40m of that taken from this year's budget❗
At the same time Labour are closing facilities & potentially cutting free school buses.
@covidinquiryuk
I ,and the population of Scotland would like an official response to this with respect to the Independence of the UKCovid 19 Enquiry. And why the following of this account was discontinued as soon as the story broke
First they came for our oil.
Then they came for our renewables.
Next they will come for our water
What will it take before you speak up?
#ScottishIndependence
While you were sleeping govt published this. 👇👇👇
By 2050 we're going to need another 5 billion litres of water per day, 35% more than currently supplied, we don't have it nor the means to supply it.
Now you know what 33 years of profiteering and regulatory failure looks like
Why has Scotland been spared anti-immigration riots? Scotland has fewer riots in its history while there is a deep history of regular disorder in English history. Why less so in Scotland? The weather, usually overlooked, is perhaps the best explanation.
A little reminder that Labour MP Siobhain McDonagh revealed the truth about who their allies really are. "We suspended two Labour councillors in Edinburgh because they were not willing to vote for the Tories." Yes, she actually said that out loud,
Children are dying by the hundreds and these Labour bastards are playing politics. They'll stand back and let kids die because its an SNP mition. Ffs is there no decency in that party.

Understand Labour whips are being instructed to tells MPs to vote down SNP amendment next Weds on Commons vote for immediate ceasefire in Gaza
Labour’s final position not decided - but MPs are being told supporting the SNP would undermine Labour party in Scotland

: "Did those life and death judgements ever hinge around Nicola Sturgeon's desire just to be different from Boris - we may never know."
People who attack Nicola Sturgeon for diverging from the UK Government should think on this. Thank god she did. Would Anas Sarwar have done the same? I think we know the answer.
2 quotes, 1 from the FM, 1 from the PM Who said what?
"I am acutely aware of the damage this crisis is doing to the economy. But that can be fixed, what we can't do is bring people back to life".
"Why are we destroying the economy for people who are going to die soon anyway?"
Did you know that everyone aged between 5-21 years old, living in Scotland, can get free nationwide bus travel? 🤯

‘‘Read my lips, no austerity under Labour.’’
Now we have confirmation that £20bn worth of austerity is coming I want Sarwar to answer questions.
Why did he and Scottish Labour mislead Scottish voters?
