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.

Inverlochy. Hurry up.

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 👇

Should the Highland town of Fort William be renamed (possibly Inverlochy) ? As recently as 1874 the town was renamed Fort William, in honour of the sectarian british King William III, the man who sanctioned the Glencoe Massacre ? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺😎

It’s not ‘wrong’ to ‘reopen’ the Scottish independence debate. It’s wrong to treat terrible decisions as irreversible.

The total number of alcohol deaths in Scotland has dropped by 3 per cent, new figures show, but the gap between the richest and poorest has increased 👇

Scotch Whisky is a 200 year-old, Westminster cashcow, that would only be improved by an entirely different Tax landscape. It's been exploited for Centuries. Even a twit realises, we need Scottish Independence.

The woman who was having a go at Stephen Flynn on STV news blaming him for her shop being destroyed by Storm Boelo and not acting quickly enough, well lo and behold she is a Tory candidate and activist, the stv news journalist must have known this but failed to mention it, 👇

They lied. www.bbc.co.uk/news/science...

Signed and shared C'mon ppl only 170 signatures so far!

Seems we might get a second bite at the Brexit cherry. If we need a referendum on Europe, then surely one on Scottish membership of the UK is also essential.

We must not be duped again. Alex Salmond was wrong-footed on currency. Detailed discussions had already been initiated by the Bank of England. But Darling & Osbourne just declared that they wouldn’t Scotland share sterling. The debate was lost at that moment. youtube.com/shorts/ituLS...

Scottish Labour's new leader had a Budget 'suggestion' for his UK bosses. But surely voters will see through the ploy, Hamish Morrison writes ✍️ www.thenational.scot/news/2...

🇬🇧 Far / Extreme Right british Nazis mustering at Edinburgh Castle 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The Scottish Gov and Police Scotland MUST deal with these Nazis, and their illegal gatherings 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 This is OUR, inclusive and internationalist, Scotland 💪

This is atrocious Where is PMs condonation? @thesnpmedia.bsky.social #LaraBird

We cannot be friends with, we cannot be the allies of and we ure as fuck cannot sell arms to a country that commits genocide and kidnaps our MPs.

No one says the media shouldn't hold the SNP & ScotGov to account, but when only 1 newspaper out of 38 dailies & weeklies in Scotland supports indy, which has majority support in most polls, & pro-indy parties have won majorities in Holyrood since 2011, there's a huge problem of media imbalance.

No it has not. It took the EU to step in & upgrade Scotlands Highland roads. At the same time billions were spent on the channel tunnel & the infrastructure around it. Scotland’s 5 Stock exchanges were shut down & moved to London on Scotland’s Oil Discovery. This is Scotland’s Pocket money👇

🇬🇧 STV took their ‘SNP Bad’ to hilarious new levels, with their Reporter personally blaming Stephen Flynn for paving over drains in Largs 5yrs ago 🤣 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺😎

Now we know why the Anglo-state refused a referendum… 👀 They want Scotland’s oil, not Scotland’s consent. Jackdaw for Westminster! They’ll take our oil, but they won’t let us take our freedom. That’s exactly why Scotland needs independence. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

#BBC Radio 4 5pm News considers the radical move to pedestrianise parts of Oxford Street. A spokesperson refers to precedents in other parts of the world eg in South Korea. Here is what the 3 principal streets of Glasgow city centre: Argyle St, Sauchiehall St, Buchanan St have looked like for years.

It's clear that BBC news and current affairs, based in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 England, has zero interest in, or awareness of, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland* *except when it comes to knocking our parties or government.

Reform thankfully slipping down the polls. But be aware with all those donations a major push to win votes is coming. If you don’t want Reform the only way out is #independence #areyouyesyet #yes #snp #indy #indyref

Burnham says he doesn’t want to get ahead of the public on rejoining the EU, he doesn’t want to dictate, so what the fuck has he just done regarding a Scottish Independence Referendum, two faced hypocritical twat, he’s a weak little man with ambition only for himself.

Brazil’s president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, a vocal critic of president Donald Trump, was re-elected on Sunday in a result that provides relief to critics of widening US influence in Latin America

🇬🇧 This perfectly explains how britain operates, and for who’s benefit All the ‘A’ roads are centred and numbered, clockwise, from London ie. All roads lead to London, for the exploitative benefit of London, and its gong, title & ermine chasing ‘elite’ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Are you YES yet ? 🇪🇺

If patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel, then "performative pietism" is surely the panic room inside.

Just another SNP policy
