Just attended a very positive seminar on the economics of Scottish independence. Some key take home messages: Scotland possess 20-30% of the UKs natural wealth and 8.4% of the population. Scotland is an export powerhouse and maintains a strong surplus in exported goods.

Only in Scotland would this question even be asked.
Imagine Norway saying, "Let's give all our energy revenues to Sweden and wait to see what they give us back. I'm sure they'll play fair."

I just hope that people in Scotland now see how irrelevant our views are to Westminster. We have resources in abundance, we are attractive to skilled people and businesses from all over the world and as a society, are progressive. Lets now vote for

He has just blown
@ScottishLabour
whole policy
‘All roads lead back to Westminster’
No, not an SNP soundbite.
Instead, those words belong to UK Labour’s Shadow Health Secretary as he explains why the NHS is in crisis in Wales.
Well worth a listen, and a share.

This is key. How on earth a scotgov meant to deliver on everything when most economic levers are controlled by Westminster. If they want to give scotgov control. Give full control.
I’m sick & tired of advocates for the union insisting that the Scottish Government expands, enhances & mitigates in every policy area at the same time as we have to deal with the UK Treasury slashing Scotland’s budget.
If they want us to do it all they should back independence.

Many issues raised on

are exacerbated by Brexit but nobody mentioning this.

. The only party talking about the EU. Also, no doctors strikes in Scotland under SNP.

This and some of the reporting in the election are the last straw for me. Anyone else?
The BBC are now gaslighting the SNP and all of those within the party & the national movement, who have campaigned, lobbied and fought against the two child benefit cap since it was first proposed.
No wonder many people have lost faith & trust in the BBC’s political reporting.

To counteract the negativity coming from the press, let's fill twitter with Scottish scenery to show what a beautiful country it is.

Having Scotland as a member would allow the EU to reach its targets on the environment and the use of renewables. Scotland has crime agencies in place to protect against tax avoidance and economic crimes.

Was great to be out campaigning in Perth today for the
@believeinscot
action day. Lots of people already convinced that the best future for Scotland is as an Independent country in the EU.

Scotland needs to be an Independent country so we can rejoin EU. It is essential for long term growth, prosperity and a society that is not based on whether you went to Eton and Oxbridge but is fair and provides equal opportunity for all.

1 If you are considering voting for Labour in Scotland, remember focus on UK Labour policy because that is what you are voting for. Some highlihjts:
No return to single market or freedom of movement
Billions of cuts to services to stick to tory fiscal rules
No wellbeing economy

In Scotland High earners pay higher tax than rUK. For that my daughter is studying with no tuition fees, my prescriptions are free and our NHS working better than anywhere else in UK. With wage incrrases ro staff. People need to understand what tax is for.
