If only this man was in charge 😞 I don’t think there’s anyone (even the haters) would disagree that he’d be fighting tooth and nail at every possible opportunity to get scotland out of this disaster of a UK
Cracking pic of ALBA & SNP activists out campaigning side by side for their respective candidates imagine the SNP leadership embracing this the same way the grassroots members do we would be unstoppable 🏴🏴🏴
Wow what a night and we seem to have upset a lot of bots in the process 😂fantastic turnout even had folk out in the street listening and the back hall overflowing it really does feel we’re on the march again 🏴 great to see Alex get the reception he deserves 🏴
Well there you have it SNP members and voters… gender issues top every other single issue within the party why vote for them when you know Indy will never be at the front of any policy making 😞 how far have they fallen since the heady days of 2014 absolutely shocking
Well good news today my uncle called this morning him n my aunt are cancelling their SNP membership and joining Alba 🙌reason they hadn’t done it so far was they didn’t want to rock the Indy boat but have now come to the conclusion we will never see Indy with NS in charge 😬
Watching Alex Salmond speak at the wee Alba Book event in Girvan tonight and the man is smashing it out the park 🙌 facts and strategy to gain our independence there’s not another politician who comes near him in Scotland oh how we need him back he scares WM tae f 🏴
With all that’s going on just now re the SNP I truly hope whoever is made their new leader recognises the place in not only their history but the history of the Indy movement this man deserves 🙏 that the murrels and their enforcers tried to cancel him needs addressed

That really was some turn out today we must have delivered 10k leaflets and a great many encounters with the good folk of Grangemouth 👌🏻well done Alba and particularly Kenny Mcaskil for all the hard graft he’s putting in 🙌
They tried to stitch Alex Salmond up like a kipper I for one cannot wait till this whole disgusting episode is laid bare with the perjurers and conspirators of this treacherous fit up held accountable… I hope it’s sooner rather than later 🙏

Well done Fergus Ewing for bringing this into the public realm 🙌 we need more to do so and get this whole disgusting conspiracy into the open so we can identify and punish the guilty and move on with a clean slate
Just away from the vote guys sad to sad I failed at the 4th hurdle only for 6.5% of the 1st preference votes I needed 10% but it is what it is we live to fight another day 💪💪🏴🏴

not guilty, having suffered public defamation and character assassination. The people who plotted against him did not care if the stress of false accusations had killed him or if he had ended his days in prison.
Down in Westminster listening to the result of the Alba Party’s consultation result from professor mccorkindales study of the UK Supreme Court ruling re referenda for Scottish independence… Alba doing the heavy lifting yet again 💪🏴
And yet SNP voices are silent on this issue?What the hell is going on?they’re rolling over and accepting this? Well done Kenny yet again highlighting our plight and showing that at least the Alba party will fight for Scotlands interests!An oil producing nation with no refinery🙈

This was probably the best march I’ve been on… what a day it was spent with friends who’s sole purpose is Scotlands independence I cannot wait till the next one in our capital on the 7th oct I just hope I can make Falkirk on the 23rd sept 🙏
We proudly remember the Edinburgh march for independence from Johnston terrace on 6 October 2018 when 100K independence supporters took to the streets of our Nation's capital for self determination. On 7 October this year join us for the 40th AUOB march since 2014.

Some reception for Alex today 🏴 great to see so many from every party and none speaking and getting our independence campaign back on track today was a good day for a united scotland
One of these won’t be sleeping much tonight and it won’t be Mr Salmond…. The truth will out I just hope the Scots gov don’t put up anymore barriers to transparency
Fabulous turnout for our Indy event in Edinburgh 🏴 Alex on fire and Angus B MacNeil just had a rousing applause for coming along 👌🏴🏴🏴
In 2014, we were told that North Sea Oil and Gas was about to run out.
Fast forward 9 years and it's being used by a Tory Prime Minister to finance a broken Britain

Out with my compadres this morning fighting to keep Scotlands only oil refinery in use.The people of Grangemouth that I’ve met so far are behind us on this 1 where the hell r the rest of the Scots gov 😞 nae fight nae gumption and nae clue as to how local folk feel
I am sad to say I fell for this unadulterated pash 🙈 how can you make statements like this one constantly for years then do a 180 n not give a monkeys 😬 all Indy supporters were stitched up with this rhetoric
Why is this never highlighted in our media? It’s an absolute scandal that will never go away… bad enough Westminster taking all the oil and gas receipts but a Scot’s Gov selling off renewables for a pittance is unforgivable

Another 1 of my customers just joined ALBA today from the SNP this tweet isn’t to gloat or chastise anyone it’s just to say the flow is only going one way and I hope the real indy supporting members of the SNP are asking why 😬ppl have had enough rhetoric and spin it’s showing 🙌
Must be tearing him up to witness just how much damage has been done to the SNP a life’s work trashed for gender politics 🙈he’s right tho support for independence remains very high 🏴 let’s get this Indy convention started asap
Some leaflet sesh tonight in that weather 🙈well over 2k posted💪this is Stevie he’s an SNP voter but wanted to give me a hand as he knows we both want Indy be like Stevie guys it makes sense to work together and I really appreciated his help 👌🏴🏴🏴
Joanna more than most has been through the wars and had to put up with some amount of physical and mental abuse oh and also being denied the chance to stand for Holyrood I hope she has a prominent position in the restructure
Some of us have been saying there’s a problem with the way in which
@theSNP
has been run under Murrell for years & have been monstered for it. I hope those who have belatedly woken up to the issues here will reflect on their behaviour particularly on the NEC
The more you see this and reminded of the dirty underhand tactics used against Alex Salmond the more you demand justice be done and all these traitors are exposed for the rats they are
A man cut from the cloth of the old SNP showing the way with the NuSNP that he’s had enough of soundbites/knockbacks/refusal to have his plan b heard for years is rightly questioning their actual commitment to Indy well done that man we need more with the steel to do the same
The truth is that Alba, with two MPs and no MSPs, is already the de-facto lead party in indy campaigning. If broadcasters want someone to talk about independence nowadays, they call Alex Salmond.
How do you regain that trust Joanna?Vote for us for another mandate to ask WM for another ref? That’s what your conference essentially passed🙈I’m not falling for that insanity again & I suspect the snp are about to find out huge swaths feel the same there is an alternative now..
Without support for the SNP independence will not happen. The party must work hard to regain the trust of voters & the 30,000-plus members we have lost in recent years. People want integrity in politics & that is what we must give them.

guys just a wee update regarding our fundraiser on Friday for the ALBA candidates in the upcoming May elections we raised £925 on the night but select blinds made it up to a grand my business partner donated £200 & I sold the signed Celtic top for £300 so £1500 in total 🙌 superb
“The government’s expecting £80,000,000,000 extra from windfall taxes from the North Sea…”
@AlexSalmond
highlighting Scotland’s wealth of natural resources.
This wealth belongs to the people of Scotland. England has no constitutional right to steal Scotland’s resources.
Spot on! To see a man targeted in the most heinous way and to endure what he has to do and still be standing fighting for scotland is a testimony to the man’s resolve and I for one cannot wait to see him back in Holyrood
The prospect of Alex Salmond coming back is almost incredible, but it seems to be possible now.
It's really hard to express how much it would mean to so many.
✊✊✊✊✊
The SNP missed a trick when Ash could have been voted in as leader she would have convened an Indy assembly right away stop that GRR bill going to court wasting more tax payers money and now unfettered with Alba introducing a host of concise well thought out policies for scotland

#ALBAforIndependence
Thank god for Ash Regan pointing this out…come on guys surely we’ve had enough spin on this issue to last a lifetime 🙈at least now we have elected officials pointing out the flawed “strategy”
We already have the majority of seats and a referendum has been rejected now by 5 PMs. To suggest that we do the same again in 2024 will avail us nothing. Only 50%+1 votes from all combined Indy parties gives us the credibility to open negotiations to withdraw from the UK.
There you go guys from one of our top journalists…. Let yourself be dragged through the mud be accused of the most heinous of crimes have to fight your corner on your own while not just your enemies but so called friends try and frame you up but for politeness just move on 🙈🤬
Salmond promises "day of reckoning" for Sturgeon and co as he prepares to sue them for "misfeasance" (abuse of office in order to do harm). They've all moved on. He hasn't.
Well said and delighted at least the Alba party are up for the fight! An oil producing nation with no refinery while our neighbour who has practically no reserves have 5/6 refineries 🙈 you couldn’t make it up & all we have is silence from the Scots gov 🙈 absolutely disgusting
We are witnessing the next stage of the de-industrialisation of Scotland.
We cannot allow Scotland's only oil refinery to close without a fight.

Food for thought indeed 😬 no matter how you feel about Alex Salmond I believe there’s no doubt in anyone’s minds he would have gotten us at the very least a vote before we left the EU and imo we would be independent now if was the FM during that time
If
@AlexSalmond
was still FM and had been dealing with a fucking clown like Boris Johnson, do you think he'd have sat back & done nothing on independence?
Nicola Sturgeon was FM 2014-2023 dealing with a fucking clown & actually did nothing about it.
Think about it.
Alex and Alba the first political party in Scotland to call for a ceasefire… how we miss this man’s presence on the political landscape let’s hope he’s back soon…
Out with the Alba troops campaigning for the upcoming by election now over at the chain of freedom with the best bunch of folk🥰 a nice day and a cracking turnout 🏴🏴🏴
What an undignified spectacle. You wonder why she’d trash the legitimacy of the party process she’s involved in? Unless she’s operating under the agenda of another party, to which she will eventually be a spectacular defection…
Alex Salmonds address at tonight’s wee Alba Book event was absolutely top drawer! A must watch guys (well if you truly want independence that is) 🏴🏴🏴
Pertinent and timely post 🙌 Scotland was a far better country in every respect under Salmonds tenure as FM that can’t be denied and even when he resigned he had 4 major infrastructure projects in the pipeline…all dismissed for student identity politics 🙈
You never saw this shitshow of incompetence under
@AlexSalmond
's leadership of ScotGov - what you got was good governance, providing infrastructure & other improvements to quality of life, & all carried on within budget, setting the scene for what independence could achieve.
Wish Ash had won through and cleared out the cesspit 😬 this drip drip of bad news and scandals are only going to continue I guess it is true you reap what you sow
The decision to challenge the Section 35 will result in a humiliating defeat. The GRR is deeply unpopular amongst Scottish voters and court action will cost a vast amount of taxpayers money. Losing 30k party members over this policy means it’s time for a re-think.
Happy Birthday to
@AlexSalmond
, the Hammer of the Union, whose love for Scotland is manifest in all that he says and does - how appropriate that he was born on this most Scottish of days, Hogmanay. Have a great day, Alex. 🏴
Alex stated a few times last night that a scotland United approach wouldn’t work if it favoured any party or individual… as he so succinctly laid it out it’s not about anything other than doing the best for scotland and making the country more prosperous 🏴
@AlexSalmond
talking about gaining independence by fighting the election as Scotland united:
“It can be done if the will is there to do it… Not for the good of Alba, not for the good of ‘Alex Salmond’, not even for the good of the SNP- for the good of Scotland.” 🏴
#WeeAlbaBook
Absolutely spot on here 👇once Salmond was gone these charlatans got access and drove independence into a back street garage only to be talked about at election times but the games changed and their time is up
Warning signs were there in 2015.
• SNP didn’t seek indy mandate. 56 MPs wasn’t one, apparently
• Not come to argue for independence
• Not come to disrupt
• Will be good parliamentarians
• Get feet under the table
#Failed56
accepted broken promise after broken promise.
Thread👇 for all you charlatan’s that read headlines other than reading the case… excellent thread here well done and that we can’t discuss in the open is by design I’d say but the truth will out in time that much is guaranteed
Woman H claimed that Salmond tried to rape her after a party at Bute House.
Witnesses who were present at the party said that she wasn't there. The log book proved that she hadn't been in Bute House for several weeks prior.
She lied.
This is a matter of court record, btw.
Happy anniversary Alex and all my fellow “Albanistas” 😉 we are indeed needed and if it wasn’t for the formation of Alba independence would have been off the table indefinitely 😞 well maybe to just 2050 😜
Today we mark two years since our launch
ALBA will continue to campaign for Scotland's independence as an immediate priority 🏴

Alex was superb 🙌🏴 all the speakers were really good today and I think a line drawn in the sand get with the movement or get out the way 🏴🏴🏴
Every last one of these repugnant lying back stabbing corrupt perjurers should be tried in a court of law…. I for one can’t wait to hear Mr Salmonds upcoming civic trial where he gets(as he promised)to disclose the evidence that was redacted & discarded…tick bloody tock
Brilliant turnout today between 40/50 activists on the streets 🏴 what struck me most was folk coming out their homes to speak with Alex and indeed invite him for a cuppa 😊Alba&Indy voters we are def on the march what a cracking reception for Our candidate Kirsty as well 🏴🏴🏴

Wings called this “the betrayer speech” it was the last straw for me I knew then I’d been taken for a ride&there was no secret plan or indeed plan of any sort to gain our independence…I used to think it would take a while b4 she was exposed as the biggest fraud ever I was wrong
@albathepict
That was the moment her sham leadership was finally revealed for all to see. She had no secret plan other than to discount any route to

that didn’t involve ‘Westminster’s permission’.
I like and respect Joanna cherry she has had to endure so much and she’s a very intelligent thoughtful politician but jeez when you see her being ratio’d here you know the games up…people have seen through the snp spin they know they’ll never deliver Indy..time for change

“A major aim of Mr Salmond in bringing this action is to obtain disclosure of this vital evidence and to blow apart the Scottish Government cover-up which has gone on now for far too long” let justice be done or the heavens fall! AS deserves justice&those traitors the same…
Barrhead Boy (A Scotland united can never be defe)
A spokesman for Mr Salmond on this matter is “it will be for the Court to determine damages once the case on misfeasance has been won. They will be significant.”
Just finished a good leafleting session there in Motherwell…. Great to see two young lads come forward to help out 🙌 never done anything like this before but want independence&after seeing our leaflet come through their door last week they wanted to help the alba party out 🙌🏴
Please consider singing folks 🙏an oil producing nation such as scotland must have a refinery…. Just ask yourself why England has 6% of the oil production of Britain but has 5 refineries…. You don’t need to be Einstein to work that out…
Just voted and as we don’t have an alba candidate standing I held my nose… I know a lot of folk couldn’t do that so each to their own but the thought of any unionist party getting a vote was just unpalatable 🙈 not one bit of signage or agents for the snp 🙈 unbelievable
