The SNP has made Scotland a hostile place for the Oil & Gas industry. The first to call for extra taxes and a presumption against new Oil & gas, meaning -no support for new projects like Jackdaw & Rosebank -no support for new drilling -no support for new licences Then crocodile tears and feigned bemusement when companies walk away.


@AgentP22 He's not alone. This is a former SNP councillor


So the latest grand plan for independence is... provoke a constitutional crisis, ignore the law, seize assets, hope the UK blinks and if not, start a war? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


⁉️⛔️NEW: 'A border poll is not for now. It’s not in my medium-term sights. NI is an integral part of the UK.

Former Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said she believes the United Kingdom will not exist in its current form within 10 to 20 years. Speaking at a Féile an Phobail event in Belfast, Sturgeon drew parallels between the campaigns for Scottish independence and a united Ireland, predicting Ireland will be united and Scotland independent.

The situation is getting worse by the hour. Gary has just given another update from our Night Shelter. We have now run out of emergency sleep pods, and more than 50 people experiencing homelessness have come to us tonight seeking safety. Our volunteers will do everything they can, but we cannot solve this crisis alone. We need the people of Glasgow to stand with us. Please share this, speak up, and ask your elected representatives to act. @GlasgowCC City Council must step up. If those responsible cannot protect the city’s most vulnerable people, then those responsible should step down. @ScotGovFM of Scotland 🏴 @JohnSwinney @10DowningStreet @andyburnham @scotgov The Scottish Government how many more people need to be left without a safe place to sleep before action is taken? Please share Gary’s update. No one should be left without shelter in Scotland.



@edwardrmgraham There are about 900,000 voters on the electoral register who weren't on it in 2014. Overwhelmingly pro-Indy. About 900,000 voters have left, mostly deid. Overwhelmingly unionists.
