This is how the UK Chancellor can increase the income tax personal allowance by ยฃ3,000.
Must end/curtail subsidies to banks.
Align tax rates on capital gains & dividends with those on wages.
Inconvenience to a few, but millions will be lifted out of hardship.
Ahead of tomorrow's budget statement.
Hereโs how the UK chancellor can raise the billions needed to improve the quality of life of millions by addressing tax and fiscal anomalies.
There is no shortage of money. All that is needed is the political will.
That's rich coming from the foreign country who strictly controls our budget takes all the money produced in Scotland them gives us pocket money

The poorest people in Ireland, have a standard of living 63% higher than the poorest people in the UK.
Northern Ireland has to leave the UK, and pursue Irish Unity.
Scrap VAT on fuel, get the energy price rises capped & scrap standing charges & unlink electricity from gas. Fucking do something to actually help people, oh and while you're at it TAX THE FUCKING RICH & THE BIG CORPS.
The UK Government must scrap VAT on petrol and diesel sales, the SNP have said, as new polling found voters want to see action on energy prices as the top priority from the upcoming Budget ๐
My latest blog piece, the ยฃ1 trillion cost of the Union to Scotland is revealed as Westminster embarks on a second theft of Scotland's natural wealth. Only independence can ensure Scotlandโs vast energy wealth is used to benefit the people of Scotland.

After the death of BBC Scotland, thereโs only one possible course of action: the SNP must demand that broadcasting powers be devolved from Westminster to Holyrood. This country has been deliberately failed by London. So we need to take broadcasting into our own hands

My latest blog piece, those who claim to support independence and resort to lawfare to destroy the SNP because they are unable to do so at the ballot box are not "reinvigorating" or "renewing" the indy movement. They're simply the BBC's useful idiots.

London does it, Manchester does it, Liverpool does it. Wales and the West Midlands are about to do it.
So why is it only in Scotland that the media loses its mind over plans to bring buses into public control?
Answer: because itโs an SNP policy and the Scottish media has lost all sense of balance
'Look over there! Andyโs in town, and isnโt he marvellous? Any moment now heโll burst into a rendition of Wonderwall. You wonโt get that with independence, Scotland.'

Surprised* that there's not a whiff of the corruption and racism of ReformUK on the BBC website today, after the ITV reveal last night.
*not surprised whatsoever.
Don't know why scumbag GB News is allowed to go on breaking the rules.
If it was owned by anyone other than Right Wing Billionaires it would have been shutdown long ago.
We were already promised this in 2014 if we voted No. it was then *immediately* dumped. i hope we're not stupid enough to fall for it again. #TheVow2www.channel4.com/news/andy-bu...
โIndependence should not simply change who governs Scotland. It should change what government believes it can achieve. The question is not whether Scotland can afford a better future, but whether it has the courage to create one.โ

Scotgov need to wake TF up & get us out right now, 300 odd yrs of theft of our resources, deliberately keeping Scots poor, destruction of our industries & now denial of our democratic right to decide.
It needs to happen now, not in 5yrs, not in 10yrs, right now.
#ScottishIndependenceNow
Scotch Whisky has been extracted from Scotland, for over 200 years. It was the same with Coal.
It's the same with Gas, Oil and Renewable Energy.
It's going to be same with Water.
What odds this apology doesn't get the same headline coverage as the lying smear ...
"GB News presenter Alex Armstrong & commentator Bernadette Spofforth have been ordered to apologise & pay damages to MothinAli after suggesting he took part in the 2024 Leeds racist riots"

'The Scotland Office is an overt player in Scotlandโs constitutional debate, being shamelessly used by successive Westminster governments as an instrument for diverting public money into the political campaign against Scottish independence.'

Our opponents are throwing absolutely everything at us, because they know we are winning.
In Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast, every First Minister now supports our nationsโ right to self-determination - and the wind is firmly in the sails of our movement.
