Independence is within reach, and with the election of an @theSNP majority government on Thursday, we can deliver it.

@davidmcgeoch9 The kind of people who do vote Reform: are the type that grass a neighbour to the social for having a cash in hand cleaning job. Or those who throw litter in the countryside or don’t take a turn cleaning the close or let their dog shite in kids parks and don’t pick it up!

I genuinely don't understand how any decent person could vote Reform

Why is a party stuffed with millionaires and billionaires managing to persuade ordinary Scots voters struggling to put enough food on their tables that Reform are on the side of working folk? Writes Ruth Wishart ✍️

@ScotBorderOG @grs68 Go on yirsel Willie Wallace, a true hero of Scotland, abusing people from a safe distance. Freeeedom

After 19yrs of SNP, why have ardent unionists not moved to the gold paved streets of England or Wales? They’ve had ample time to upsticks and move 🤔
I’ll tell you why, they know services etc are better here! So to all unionists, whatever creed, be careful who you vote for 🏴

@grs68 There’s also a mass influx of English people fleeing the evil red tory abuses of the sick and disabled.
Go on any social housing site and see how many want to exchange their house to move to Scotland, it’s staggering.

In this May election Let's not forget the hard sterling work that the Former Late Brilliant 👏 CabHealthSec 🏴 @Jeane_F1 in conjunction with @NicolaSturgeon provided during the years of the Deadly Strain Covid Virus Pandemic thx to *Jeane* more ppl have survived. #VoteSNP 🏴🇪🇺🏴

@SconeOf @AiPortraitsUK Like you are for the SNP?
You are that dense, you think and believe they are an Indy party
English
@AiPortraitsUK sorry I don’t talk to people on their knees.

turnout is crucial. Polls are positive for SNP but our vote averages much younger than Reform, Tories, Libdems and Labour. So really push the young family and friends and colleagues you know to vote. Or we could get a Reform-led pan-yoon govt dragging us into darkness

@ZiaYusufUK Reform: How about human camps for people fleeing war & prosecution and also while at it we dehumanize them and use them as political fodder for their inherent evilness.

Today we announce a new policy:
In order to deport all illegal migrants in Britain, Reform will need to detain tens of thousands at a time.
Migrants will not be able to leave these detention centres, and each will be held there a couple of weeks before being deported.
So here’s our promise:
A Reform government will not put any migrant detention facilities in any constituency with a Reform MP.
Nor will we put them where Reform controls the council.
And of the remaining areas, we will prioritise Green controlled parliamentary constituencies and Green controlled councils to locate the detention centres.
Put simply, if you vote in a Reform council or Reform MP, we guarantee you won’t have a detention centre near you.
If you vote Green, there’s a good chance you will.
This is an important exercise in democratic consent, not just for our mass deportation policy, but for where the detention centres are placed.
Given @ZackPolanski openly advocates for open borders, I look forward to their warm embrace of this policy.

@stuartacameron2 @DSanderson_85 @NorstatUKPolls And that's where your small mindedness and prejudice comes in. You don't care about Scotland, you only care about Indy and hating the English.
You too, Stu

@Huggyrfc @DSanderson_85 @NorstatUKPolls No thanks will never vote for centralised English control.
Have a nice weekend though.

@stuartacameron2 @DSanderson_85 @NorstatUKPolls None of them, that's the point so why waste even more money. Centralise it all and let whatever idiots of the day make a hamfist of it.

@stuartacameron2 @DSanderson_85 @NorstatUKPolls None of them Stu. None of them have the people or the brains to make us better off. The days of your Donald Dewers, John Smiths and Charles Kennedy's are long gone. I'd probably add Alex Salmond to that list actually.

@Malcolm_Offord The proposal from @Ross_Greer on the face of it seems reasonable.
There is a difference between success and greed. It’s important to be able to distinguish between them both.

Owning a car used to be a luxury, but now a third of households own more than one.
No good reason we can’t do the same for homes - in Denmark and Finland over 20% of households have two.
Except that your politics of penury stands in the way!
My politics offers Scots plenty.
Ross Greer@Ross_Greer
Second/holiday homes are causing a housing crisis from Arran to Orkney to central Edinburgh, making life impossible for young people in particular. To discourage Offord-style hoarding, we'll set progressively higher taxes for every extra home bought by wealthy individuals.
English
@stuartacameron2 @DSanderson_85 @NorstatUKPolls Because there is no viable alternatives in Scotland. It will always be either Labour or the SNP. Both are horrendous. I would shut the whole thing down, it is a complete waste of money
English
@DSanderson_85 @NorstatUKPolls Only in 🏴 Dan does winning to you feels like a loss.
The Q sadly missed by paid Union journos is why do they keep on winning?
And why are the English alternatives so unappealing and impotent?

@lornamckain1 @gerrycan1 @DippyAnd Why? Are people who disagree with you going to be eliminated on independence?

Douglas needs to issue a full and unreserved apology to John Swinney for this accusation in light of facts that have now been confirmed by the US.
This is what happens when you jump too quickly to try and downplay the efforts of the FM.
Scotland sent Swinney. UK sent Mandelson.
Douglas Alexander@D_G_Alexander
John you’ve been caught red handed claiming credit for something you didn’t achieve. Now you’re doubling down. It’s embarrassing. I get it doesn’t fit your world view that the U.K. Govt was working for this whisky deal before, during & after your visit to DC but those are facts.

@Huggyrfc @DanielJMath1 2) And it was not "pish" as you so eloquently put it but stone cold fact,

Of course he won’t. That’s because he’s lying about the taxes. He’s a fucking grifting charlatan.
Rebecca Brady@Rebecca_Brady_
Lord Offord says he will not be publishing his full tax return. He’s been urged to after announcing he’s paid £45m in taxes over 40 years and owns 6 homes, 5 cars and 6 boats. Amid allegations of boasting, also confirms he donates to charity but calls that ‘a private matter’.

@Ockeghem1497 @DanielJMath1 Not reading all that pish. Glad you agree with me though ✊️

@Huggyrfc @DanielJMath1 3) This isn't a particularly "anti capitalist" point I'm making. Even Warren Buffett hates private equity!

@Ockeghem1497 @DanielJMath1 Do you think he just fell into what he had earned? Regardless of what you think of him, he obviously has the intelligence and work ethic to become a self made millionaire, that just doesn't land in your lap

@DanielJMath1 He made his fortune in private equity. He's basically a financial vampire. No surprise he doesn't want his affairs scrutinised.

Delicious to see Labour’s man in Scotland working himself into a frenzy, not knowing that the President messaged John Swinney last night to congratulate him on his role in the deal - followed by a call today.
The difference between a Scottish Leader and a Unionist follower.

@MhairiHunter Was a priority for your/my King. He loves Scotland and has done a marvelous job in securing this. Magnificent 🇬🇧

Labour are doing their dinger about this but they protest too much! There's actually no particular reason why Scotch whisky should have been a priority for UK gov, whereas it obviously would be for Scotgov as it is a key industry in the context of the Scottish economy.
