SNP standing up for SCOTLAND 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The national flag of Scotland. Like and repost if you're proud to be Scottish. #ScottishIndependence

Awesome

WM crooks, is all we've got as Politicians.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Huge SNP win in Glenrothes Central and Thornton by-election with 47.6% of first preference votes - more than DOUBLE the Labour vote. Well done to Cllr Lynda Holton and her team on an outstanding victory!

Imagine folks're probably sick of this now, so here's one last punt via @heraldscotland.bsky.social: Scots under 50 are pro-independence, and that isn't changing, threatening political upheaval over the horizon. We are cursed – or blessed, depending on your POV – to live in interesting times:

Isn’t it odd how he’s been perfectly happy for Scots to be pay the highest bills for the cheapest electricity? www.thenational.scot/news/2511154...

As BBC UK this morning report that 'parts of Scotland generate so much energy' the grid can't cope the message for Scots is clear - no energy security risks here! talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/02/25/a...

✂️ Yesterday, we led a vote condemning Starmer’s brutal cuts to support for disabled people. 8 Labour MSPs abstained - including their leader Anas Sarwar! 😱 Labour say he was at the anti-far right summit in Glasgow… but so were all other party leaders, who did manage to vote.

Your occasional reminder that every single #Indyref2 poll over the last two and a half years not weighted by 2014 voting patterns shows a majority in favour of #ScottishIndependence That’s why they refuse a referendum.

Starmer’s welfare cuts will push hundreds of thousands into poverty and Sarwar’s MSPs are 🤐🤐🤐 So what is the point of Scottish Labour..?

Scotland’s democracy is at its best when our communities come together. The values our Parliament was built upon - wisdom, compassion, justice and integrity - are under threat, but they are worth fighting for and that’s exactly what I’ll do. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

EXPLAINED: the reason Starmer panders to the Reform/Right of Centre lot [despite most of the electorate holding liberal values] is VERY simple: Because - forget the electorate - most of the *Press* are Right wing. He could regulate that but chooses not to.

BBC Scotland's 'Angus Council SNP administration toppled' headline corrected

England doesn’t need independence – it already is independent. The UK is really just England and the countries it controls. When Scotland becomes independent again, England could finally stand on its own two feet. Free Scotland, and everyone wins.

The UK has the highest electricity prices in Europe and Scotland has the highest in the UK, this disincentivises investment and harms everyone in Scotland and it’s deliberate #ScottishIndependence

Check out how the anchors of CBS Evening News ended their broadcast tonight:

To me, this is what has separated the Scottish government from Westminster in the past years. The Scottish government, through words, actions and policies have worked hard to make Scotland a tolerant country. No othering minorities..It definetely makes a difference.

The 2026 Holyrood election is to choose 129 Members of the Scottish Parliament who are responsible for making laws on devolved issues - education, health, justice & transport for Scotland We mustn’t let the Unionist parties take this from us an election at Holyrood may never be so crucial again i🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 👇

"It comes after a new UK-wide poll of more than 16,000 people – analysed using the MRP (multilevel regression and post-stratification) method – predicted Reform UK were set to return more MPs than either of the UK’s traditional two biggest parties". SCOTLAND'S FUTURE LIES BEYOND THE UNION i🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A new low, even for MTG 👀

Don’t mind if I do😏

In 2023 Anas "watch my lips" Sarwar told Nick Robinson he voted for the GRR bill partly because he was given assurances on guidance. Last week Sarwar refused to apologise for supporting the bill saying it had nothing to do with guidance. This video exposes him as a liar and charlatan. (MSM Monitor)

I strongly welcome First Minister John Swinney’s decision to convene a summit on tackling the threat from the far-right, and he is totally correct to exclude Nigel Farage and his party from the conversation.

Oh FGS. Anything that upsets corporate power and/or the far right is now deemed by the BBC to invoke "public controversy", and must therefore be nixed. The BBC has done more to censor public debate than any other organisation in the UK. And still it goes on.

The festival's annual 'Burning of Judas' tradition opted to put a certain president in the line of fire this year...

Get out and recruit Yes voters, Soft No's and yes even unionists. We must put facts out there for them to challenge so that they could be educated as to how we could make Scotland a viable option to be a successful partner within Europe. WE MUST ESCAPE THIS TYRANNY THAT IS WESTMINSTER RULE.

In a nutshell I give you reform.

Scotland's certainly big enough, clever enough - and rich enough - for independence. Let's make sure Holyrood 2026 delivers. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿|🇪🇺 #ScottishIndependence

National animal of Scotland. 🤣❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Ryan Coogan, Reform UK Mayoral Candidate for Peterborough and Cambridgeshire, threatening legal action against a constituent for sharing a public video of Nigel Farage. Crazy.

As @snp.org members start voting today on who to select for their Holyrood 2026 candidates, please can you consider choosing the one most likely to deliver your party's vision for an independent Scotland? Thank you. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿|🇪🇺 #ScottishIndependence www.yes.scot/campaign/
