🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland's public sector workers are the best paid in the UK. 💷 Our hard-working teachers and nurses are key to the SNP Scottish Government's drive to improving public services, and that's why the SNP will always stand up for Scotland's workers.

If we stay in the UK, we have the choice of the following: Tory Party. Labour (also Tory Party). Reform (also Tory Party, but openly racist.) Except we don't actually have a choice of those options, they're picked for us by another country. Fuck that! #ScottishIndependence

Quick note - opposing politicians taking huge donations from those associated with the private sector and then funnelling massive sums of public money into private healthcare companies is not a ‘far left’ standpoint. But it’s being framed like that by billionaires and media outlets 🚨

I am beyond disgusted at the Labour party trying to adopt policies designed to appeal to Reform leaning voters. You can never succeed in placating hard right English nationalism because it holds grievances against imaginary enemies. All you do is pollute the entirety of politics for everyone.

🧵 When I said my government would leave no stone unturned to find the solutions to secure Grangemouth’s future, I meant it. I’ve just set out some measures to Parliament seeking to protect workers and secure Grangemouth’s future. Here’s a thread 👇 1/8
