@JamesWatte89332 @sharrond62 Err im not a SNP member or particulary support them What i do support is #scottishindependence

@Doogs8401 @sharrond62 Typical snp deflection, if you cant concentrate then take up nose picking

Anyone live with a partner than comes in to nearly half a million quid & not notice? No me neither..

@winter8065 @sharrond62 To correct i dont like those that turn public money to private profit and the covid funding/ fraud is the biggest example being about 100,000 times the size of Murrells crime SNP finances belong to the membership and is of no concern of mine because i am not a member

@Doogs8401 @sharrond62 Save the selective outrage. You don’t care about SNP finances’ but hyper fixate on anyone touching public money whilst conveniently forgetting that SNP finances are public money also.

Historian and broadcaster Ally Heather has reacted to those who insist the Scots language isn’t 'real' Heather joined digital editor Laura Pollock on the podcast to talk all things culture, language and independence

@paulhutcheon Personally Im not interested in SNP finances as Im not a member But I still support #Scottishindependence Hope that helps

The former SNP chief executive pleading guilty to embezzlement does not seem like the best backdrop to this week's vote on indyref2.

We seem to have got to a bit of a crazy place now. PR politics, of course, means parties must seek alliances & agreements. But there isn't a country anywhere else in the world where a social democrat government would *voluntarily* reach out to the hard right.

@HolyroodDaily @holyroodmandy ‘Undemocratic’ Just listen to yourself. Embarrassing. No political party ever has an obligation to work with another party. If you want ‘undemocratic’ ask the Labour UK Government what the route for Scottish independence is.

Fiona Bruce says people don't want to talk about the traitor Nathan Gill and Russia bribing Reform politicians. Retweet to tell #bbcqt @BBCPolitics and @Nigel_Farage that we really do want to talk about it. #Farage #Putin

HE KNEW THE DOSSIER WAS FAKE. WEEKS LATER HE WAS DEAD IN A FIELD Dr David Kelly was Britain's foremost weapons inspector. He spent years inspecting Iraqi facilities, earned a Nobel Peace Prize nomination, and knew more about Saddam's arsenal than almost anyone in government. In 2002, Tony Blair's government published a dossier claiming Iraq could deploy chemical and biological weapons within 45 minutes. Britain went to war on the back of it. No weapons were ever found. Kelly knew the dossier was rubbish. He said so, quietly, to a @BBC journalist. That conversation ended his career, his privacy, and ultimately his life. The MOD carefully allowed his name to leak to the press as the BBC's source. He was then hauled before parliamentary committees, stripped apart by his own employer, and thrown to a media frenzy he never asked for. Two days after giving evidence to MPs, the 59-year-old was found dead in woodland near his Oxfordshire home. Instead of a proper inquest, Tony Blair asked Lord Hutton to run a private inquiry. Hutton concluded suicide. The inquest was opened, then suspended, and never resumed. Eight senior legal and medical figures, including a coroner, later wrote to @thetimes saying the verdict was unsafe. They argued the wound found on Kelly's wrist, a severed ulnar artery, would not have caused sufficient blood loss to kill a healthy person. There were no fingerprints on the knife found beside his body, even though he was not wearing gloves. In 2011, Attorney General Dominic Grieve rejected all calls for a new inquest. He said the Hutton Inquiry was "tantamount to an inquest" and that further investigation would be dismissed by judges with irritation. A man challenged the government's justification for a war that killed hundreds of thousands of people. He was publicly destroyed, died in mysterious circumstances, never got a proper inquest, and the people who sent him into that media storm faced no consequences whatsoever. Tony Blair became a Middle East Peace Envoy the following year. You genuinely could not make it up. Sources: @BBCNews, openDemocracy, Hansard, @thetimes | Hutton Report

£325bn dirty money flows through UK. Jumps to £788bn+ when UK tax havens added. Linked to financial crime, corruption, illegal trades, narcotics, and tax dodging. Banks, accountants, lawyers profit. Govt deregulating finance industry, prosecutions rare. theguardian.com/business/2026/…

Apparently £11bn of covid money just vanished. Taxpayers money. You may well ask where @BBCNews @SkyNews @STVNews @itvnews and the authorities are getting on pursuing this….

@mgshanks Im not a SNP member and I dont care about their internal finances What I care about is those that seek to profit for being a politician So why are all the MPs in Scotland listed by @EveryDoctorUK as being funded by private healthcare from @UKLabour

Strong statement from the police on the criminality and utter contempt at the heart of the Scottish National Party

I rarely ask for re-posts, but I really feel that this is so important that it should be shared widely: x.com/BjCruickshank/… Please share the truth about the McCrone Report as widely as possible.

The claim from BBC Scotland presenters - that John Swinney said only an SNP majority constituted an Indyref mandate - was rubbished by none other than Glenn Campbell on results day. Campbell confirmed Swinney never ruled out a joint SNP/Green majority. So why are BBC Scotland reporters and presenters contradicting their own political editor?

Never forget Scotland. ‘And remember this is just one of many’. We’ve been robbed of billions. And although in 2014 we were told it was running out. They’re still surviving on its benefit in 2026 and beyond. This ALL must stop.

@Daily_Record For black hole read UKgov austerity cuts under @UKLabour Its impossible for Holyrood to have a blackhole as they have a fixed budget which is defined by how much @UKLabour send in England

RECORD VIEW: SNP must cut waste before ordinary Scots pay price for £5bn budget black hole dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-…

The refusal to separate SNP election strategy from what constitutes a democratic mandate in a proportional parliament is staggering. In Jenny Davidson's mind the usual democratic rules no longer apply. Scottish Green MSPs are of less value than all other MSPs.

Here’s just one detail from @thenerve_news #HarborneReceipts timeline. On the *exact same day* Christopher Harborne gives Reform £3m, Nigel Farage says Reform will lift cap on stablecoin ownership. Where does Christopher Harborne’s money come from, you ask? Stablecoins!

@JoaniReid Well there is @UKLabour funded by vested interests and then there is the parties based in Scotland funded by ordinary folks Tak yir pik

This is an uncomfortable but necessary point. Holyrood was meant to bring politics closer to working people. Too often, it has become a closed world of insiders and comfortable orthodoxies. Class still shapes who gets heard in Scotland. We should say so.

@JimQuirkesq Ask @UKLabour they got less and still claim a landslide

How can a minority government declare a landslide victory?
