Sitting here listening to fireworks entertaining people who are ok with having their rights eroded away because we must worship rich people at all costs because that money might trickle down on us like golden showers.

Even the Soviet Union recognised there was a path to independence for its member nations. Not in Scotland. The UK Govt denies that right to the people of Scotland and refuses to explain what the path is while insisting we’re in a voluntary union. https://youtu.be/xH_uf0aD1VU

Imagine living in a fair and free society where Ministers go to jail and are banned from public office for giving public contracts to friends.

So, 2 plans for constitutional change will be in front of voters.
If Labour win, Labour say that gives a mandate for the Labour plan.
If the Indy parties win, Labour say that doesn't give the Indy parties a mandate for the Indy plan.
So, it's only a mandate if Labour win? 🤷♂️

The main takeaway from the launch of Labour’s sodden squib of a 'major policy paper' is the contempt shown for the views of the people of Scotland
It exposes the hypocrisy of Labour’s previous promises and rhetoric, and demonstrates again that they can’t be trusted.

Wow. Electoral Commission warned British government privately that the introduction of voter ID is neither “secure” nor “workable”.
The government pushed on with Elections Act regardless.

No one in Scotland thinks Brexit is a success. But UK Govs we don't vote for and England-based parties that run them continue to support it. If Scotland could decide we'd vote independence and rejoin the EU in a flash.
If Scotland were allowed to decide, we'd choose independence from UK govs we don't vote for, that make strategic economic decisions that harm Scotland.

If Scotland were able to decide we'd vote to leave this union, where we pay for the bad decisions of a UK Gov that doesn't represent us, and become an equal voice respected as part of the EU.
If Scotland were able to decide, we'd leave this union where it's parliament and foreign parties ignore and humiliate our politicians.

When I watched Starmer laugh openly at Ian Blackford in the Commons yesterday, he was laughing at every Scot.
For me, that finally closed the Labour coffin for good. I'm no supporter, but I've hoped in vain it might find its way again.
Now I'm done caring. They're finished.
If Scotland had the democratic right to choose, we'd leave a Union that forces this on its people. Scotland has vast renewable energy resources that are a tenth the price set by the UK Gov. Fuel poverty would be eliminated.

The fact that Ian Blackford prefers to take a key role in the campaign for Scottish Independence, rather than be ignored as leader of the SNP in Westminster, tells you everything about Westminster and its attitude to Scotland.

If people realised #Politics was rigged, there would be constant uproar; thus demanding #Justice for those lives needlessly lost, especially through the pandemic and everything…
Atm, there’s NO such thing as politics and #Democracy anymore… Just conspiracy theories, lies and deceit… If more opened up their eyes, things would’ve been different a lot sooner…
But atm, no… people still refuse to take the truth in as a syringe jab to the arm…

Who cares what people in England drink? In Scotland water supply is publicly owned, has higher investment, and lower bills. When we are allowed to set our own priorities we get the results we want. No wonder most want independence.

Most people in Scotland with an opinion want independence, and want a referendum about it next year. Latest polling from this week. What's the next excuse from Westminster for denying it?
Brexit will be a disaster for the UK until it's reversed. Scotland was forced to accept it despite all regions voting against.

Oh dear #PoliticsLive.
Plaid Cymru's @LSRPlaid@twitter.com reasonably asks how a nation like Scotland can have no way to leave the Union by choice when NI does, and gets a studio pile-on. No Scottish parties represented, naturally.

Any tweet that picks on our FM personally is always from a Tory/Labour supporter bitter that we see things differently in Scotland.
As a reminder, our FM is elected by the Scottish Parliament, not one party. So you're attacking Scotland, not her or the SNP.
