Most are scared of what they will do to us if we don't win. Reform has already said they will take back powers and privatise our NHS . Unionist parties stick together against Scotland's choices and will always veto what we do . #votesnp for #independence
John Swinney@JohnSwinney

We’re on the verge of a historic election result that will cut your cost of living, lock Nigel Farage out of power, and unlock the fresh start of independence - but we have to make it happen. On Thursday 7th May, #BothVotesSNP.

@EzraViews @dave43law Maybe start with paying their workers a decent wage. We don’t all shop at Zara or have expensive phones. The system is rigged against the poorest.

Not a single billionaire is making you use their services. You don’t need a iPhone You don’t need an Amazon prime account. You don’t need a Tesla or a verified X badge. You don’t need to buy your clothes from shops like Zara. You buy these products simply because they’re the best in their division. That is what a capitalist society creates. Competition where the best comes out on top. If your hatred is towards billionaires boycott their products. It’s that simple.

@MrTCHarris @happymonkey1874 @dave43law They do not pay nearly enough tax. The CEO of Unilever once quipped at a business meeting “My cleaner pays more tax than I do”. Corporate profits are obscene. Why then the need for working tax credit?

@happymonkey1874 @dave43law Still not seeing how billionaires, who pay more tax than everyone else, somehow get subsidised by the rest of us. You might argue that they should pay even more than they already do, but there is no doubt they pay more than every normal worker.

@Sunday_Mail 👉🏼Each and every unionist party in Holyrood tried to STOP the minority SNP gov dualing the A9 out of spite, even as the death toll rose. 👉🏼It was subsequently delayed in favour of Labour’s tramline. Fergus Ewing knows this. He’s a chancer and a liar.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Independence is Normal
When unionists try to convince us otherwise … remember that Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 isn’t a burden on the UK, exactly the opposite … It’s UK’s greatest source of resources and energy and punches way above its weight in exports … example stats below👇 Scotland has ~8% of the UK population — yet it’s the heart of the engine powering the UK economy and energy system. 💨 Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 produces roughly a third of UK renewable electricity … expected to rise substantially over the next decade because of the scale of offshore wind projects planned in Scottish🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 waters 🌬️ Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 is also the UK leader in onshore wind power ⚡️Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 exports huge amounts of surplus electricity to the rest of the UK … £6 billion offshore “electricity superhighways” (EGL1 and EGL2) are specifically being built to massively expand the volume/ability to move Scottish low cost renewable electricity south into England 💧 Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 produces 85% of UK’s hydroelectric power 💦 Scotland’s Loch Ness ALONE contains more freshwater than ALL of the lakes in England and Wales combined - and Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 has over 30,000 lochs 🛢️ Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 is central to UK North Sea oil & gas production … producing 90%+ of the UK’s oil and 60% of UK gas 🎣 Scottish fishing vessels land around two-thirds of the UK fish catch … and Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 catches around TWO-THIRDS of the WORLD’s LANGOUSTINES 🥃 Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 accounts for around 30% of all UK food & drink exports despite having only ~8% of the UK population … Scotch whisky alone accounts for a large proportion of those UK food & drink exports 🍸Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 also produces 70% of UK’s gin and is one of the world’s biggest gin exporters #ScottishIndependence🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #voteSNP

@S555DRJ @ToryFibs I don’t understand you argument. Why should they not pay their fair share? The rest of us have to. Even they pay what they should they would still be wealthy. The greed is epic.

@S555DRJ @ToryFibs Oh come on. The super wealthy dodge tax & don’t pay their fair share. Percentage wise they pay less than most workers. Do you know how much would be fed into the economy if they paid their taxes.

I’d suggest that a Sky News presenter roaring at Polanski, who he quite obviously despises, and then nodding and smiling his way through wacko comments from brazen fascist crank Melanie Phillips, is helpfully illustrative of How It Came To This.

To make the jump from a mentally ill man attacking 3 people, two Jews and a Muslim, to saying peaceful Pro-Palestinian marches must be banned as a consequence, is totally irrational, bizarre and downright Orwellian. This lunacy from our politicians must be challenged.

I often wonder whether polls are used as an election tool.. Here we are being told the SNP have a majority so some SNP supporters may now be less inclined to vote. This is dangerous because every SNP supporter must vote on the 7th to ensure that majority.

No you fucking haven’t. The Asda in Berwick is in Scotland.

@StuartGarvin I’ve heard the Asda in Berwick has a huge booze section for all the Scot’s coming over the border for cheaper booze 🤣

Scots Labour MP brands Douglas Alexander a 'wee p***k' after Ian Murray sacking One Labour colleague went so far to say: “If I had a pound for everyone who liked Douglas, I would have 50p.” dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…
