Tonight the UK is once again in utter political chaos which affects the lives of every Scot x.com/Steven_Swinfor… Scotland cannot afford this perpetual disorder. We have to declare independence ASAP over to you @JohnSwinney

It's incredibly febrile tonight: * Three Cabinet ministers including Shabana Mahmood, the home secretary, told the PM today he needs to consider his position. Ed Miliband, the energy secretary, did so a fortnight ago. * Tomorrow's Cabinet meeting is going to be absolutely extraordinary. The PM appears adamant that he is going nowhere. Ministers say his position is unsustainable. Rock meet hard place * Cabinet is divided. David Lammy, the deputy PM, is supporting Starmer and making calls on his behalf to try to rally support as per @BethRigby . But Cabinet ministers privately say it is unsustainable. * Wes Streeting, the health secretary, is preparing to mount his bid for Number 10. He has been working on it for months. His PPS and some of his closest allies went over the top ahead of him today * Starmer's loyal Cabinet ministers believe that Streeting has orchestrated the entire coup. One accused Starmer of pushing the party into 'internescine warfare' * A total of ***75*** Labour MPs have gone over the top. This includes five ministerial aides. It represents more than a quarter of the parliamentary party * By tomorrow morning we will have the symbolic 81 MPs publicly calling on PM to go. Separately Catherine West already has 81 signatories to her letter. The intent here is to try to force the PM out. But what if he refuses to go? This could get very, very messy indeed * Lastly the markets tomorrow morning are likely to be carnage. Expect the cost of government borrowing to soar. The political instability plus further turmoil over Iran bodes very badly for the economy

CAN’T EMPHASISE THIS ENOUGH..
What’s wrong in wanting just SCOTTISH Parties to be elected for the SCOTTISH Parliament in SCOTLAND.
Rich English Parties just want Representation in order to prevent the Parliament from running smoothly and efficiently.
History has proven this.

If Scotland declared UDI would the world support that. Personally i would prefer a ref first but if we get desperate and about to be ruled by the far right ,i would go with it. #independence #scotland

Guess who is the best friend of the unionist, anti-independence German-Scot, Chair of the European Parliament Foreign Affairs Committee, making sure the EU never supports Scotland's liberation? Yes the SNP's Angus Robertson. You couldn't make it up.
Christophe Dorigné-Thomson@thomsonchris
1.Scotland is an English colony and is now designated as such in the UN system. 2.The SNP will not bring independence to Scotland. Liberation will be gained with the support of the international community against the English colonial state. Support Liberation Scotland if you want Scotland to be free. 3. As you can read below, the European Union/EU is not Scotland's friend or ally. Scotland got thrown out because of England, they did nothing. Their ally is the English colonial state, the enemy of Scotland. For many reasons, they won't support Scotland even if they already know Scotland's an English colony and has been illegally annexed. Their mindset is colonial. They won't support the liberation of a colony. They never have.

Writing in The Irish News, @moneillsf says: "We are living through a time of extraordinary change.
"We will have: a pro-independence First Minister here in the North of Ireland, a pro-independence First Minister in Scotland and a pro-independence First Minister in Wales.
"The demand for independence is growing. The Union is cracking at the seams. This moment has been coming.
"The failings of Westminster and every British Government have been laid bare."

The sickness is spreading from israel to London. Scots won't entertain the butchers apron with a feckin 6 point star on it. The butchers apron is vomit inducing on its own.

The Golders Green “Antisemitism” Rally in London, England. Israel flags as far as the eye can see. People draped in the Israel flag The Star of David superimposed onto the Union Jack Israel is a country currently indicted for war crimes & atrocities This is not ok

An SNP win, a pro-independence majority at holyrood, the diet huns choking at Fir Park and the full-fat huns getting their arses handed to them at Paradise. Its been a rough couple of days for the less desirable harder of thinking amongst us. 😅🏴🍀

If Scotland is 'granted' an Indy ref from the administrative power then they must insist on UN/int observers, for Scots born or 10yrs residency only & free from Westminster interference.
Otherwise a ref under Westminster rules, franchise & observation is a colonial trap.

Not being funny but the National have a brass neck when they consistently promoted these transphobes and bigots over the past few years and gave them a platform to spout their bile.
They indirectly contributed to this abuse, sorry not sorry
The National@ScotNational
The Scottish Greens have hit back and stood by the country’s first two transgender MSPs, who have faced transphobic and racist abuse since the moment they were elected The party has issued a statement exclusively to The National 👇

I'd be hammering at John Swinney's door if he said he would be talking to Reform. Why? Just a few examples. They have an MSP who wants to deport all Muslims. They targeted bi-lingual children in Glasgow. Children. They have dehumanised asylum seekers to the point where they >

We are going to have to pay these two pointless, unelected third-rate listers and London puppets almost £80 grand a year. Lumbered with dross by a voting system devised by Westminster to keep control of their colony. Ffs Scotland, we urgently need to get out of this yoon midden!

Today is polling day!
We have made so much progress, together as a nation. Don't let those who seek to turn communities against one another gain a foothold in our Parliament, let alone government.
Vote for the party that is always on Scotland's side, give both votes to @theSNP
