The Scottish Parliament has voted to back calls for a referendum on Scottish independence.
First Minister @JohnSwinney calls for UK Government to agree a Section 30 order.

@Fyrishsunset How many times he has said " Criminal Conduct" and ignoring every follow up question??
English
He’s just not a good man, is he? Not good at all.

Dear Gawd...Swinney needs to go!

@Dennynews that was the shortest indy campaign in history 😂

Downing St spokesman: “The UK Government does not support independence or another referendum.
“People need their governments focused on the issues that really matter — economic growth, the cost of living, and public services. Our focus must be on delivery, not division".

If Fiona Bruce can spout lies to Scots on Question Time then the BBC should be shutdown immediately

We need a BBC Scotland committed to producing programmes properly reflective of our country today and an investment system capable of doing the job it was set up to do, writes Richard Walker ✍️

Very impressed with Ross Greer on Question Time , will he be allowed back I wonder 🤔
BBC Question Time@bbcquestiontime
"A price cap would be difficult, but we should be trying to do difficult things" Scottish Green Ross Greer says he doesn’t have “a lot of sympathy” for supermarkets making “obscene profits”, but we must “get the balance right” for “farmers and fishers” #bbcqt

@ScotNational What a waste of time. Can you please remind the share of the vote that the SNP achieved in the election and where they think that they have a mandate to seek a referendum?

@KirstySNP Sure it was not the SNP that destroyed the offshore oil and gas sector?
English
Scotland has the energy, but not the power to ensure jobs stay in the NE. Successive London Govts have overseen massive decline in jobs in oil and gas. Westminster must urgently replace the EPL and speed up the pace of renewables to secure both current and future jobs for Abz.

Now is the time @theSNP and @scottishgreens to apply the pressure. Every interview, every comment, every thought must be about #ScottishIndependence join forces with all like minded groups, explore every option now is the time 🏴

Empty #KingsSpeech for Scots. Lower Thames Crossing goes ahead + Northern PH Rail + 'all measures to safeguard domestic steel production' not nationalisation. Energy Independence Bill will 'scale up home-grown energy' ie more Scottish hardware to supply consumers in S of E. Poor.

The public will 'welcome' the First Minister’s 'transparency' in his efforts to lock out Reform UK at Holyrood, John Swinney has said #Echobox=1778514486-2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thenational.scot/news/26096599.…

Congratulated Scotland’s First Minister on his landslide victory in yesterday’s election.
John has delivered for the SNP, and will continue to deliver for Scotland too.
I can’t wait to get to work as the new MSP for Aberdeen Deeside and North Kincardine.

@DaveDooganSNP @theSNP Who pays for them? Nothing in life is free.

💊 15 years ago, @theSNP made prescriptions free in Scotland.
💪 For as long as the SNP is in government, we will always protect free prescriptions. Labour and Reform won't!
🗳️ Make it #BothVotesSNP on May 7th for a Government that actually cares about the people of Scotland.

@JohnSwinney What a waste of an evening, can't think of a bigger waste of time.

Wonderful to talk with Alan Cumming tonight about my hopes and aspirations for Scotland - the country I love and am privileged to serve. 🏴

@ArgyleBecky Feel sorry for you living in Scotland with all this SNP nonsense. I moved south although Scottish and educated in Glasgow and I find this SNP narrative just depressing.
English
Swinney is an idiotic hypocrite. Have you seen the price of a bottle of whisky in Scotland or any alcohol? The SNP are solely responsible for making sensible drinkers pay exorbitant prices for whisky and all alcohol because of their own ridiculous additional tariffs on alcohol.
John Swinney@JohnSwinney
I consistently stood up for Scotland’s whisky industry against US tariffs, and I am delighted that the tariffs have been lifted. I am standing to lead a government that gets things done. The SNP will always stand up for Scotland. 🏴

🏴 Great to have first Minister John Swinney in Edinburgh Central. Local businesses and constituents want reliable leadership, and only the SNP can deliver that.
🗳️ On Thursday, vote SNP and Angus Robertson for Edinburgh Central.

@DaveDooganSNP @theSNP Who pays for I guess the Scottish taxpayer. Nothing is free.

🏴 English students now pay over £9,500 a year in tuition fees and Labour will put them up every year from now on.
🏴 Meanwhile in Scotland @theSNP introduced free tuition and will always ensure that access to education is based on the ability to learn, not the ability to pay.
English
Experienced leadership, urgent action on the cost of living, and hope over despair.
This is what I offer as your First Minister. 🏴

On Sky News, @JohnSwinney completely eviscerates Keir Starmer over the Mandelson scandal, and Anas Sarwar over his latest U-turn.
“It’s just an example of the Labour Party in complete chaos”. 🔥

Hate having so many cars I can’t keep track of my road tax renewal date.
Malcolm Offord MSP@Malcolm_Offord
It's mortifying. I've been constantly on the move for the campaign, and missed the letter that I owed £200 of road tax on one of my cars on April 1st. Honestly, I'm grateful to the eagle-eyed journalists at The Sun for telling me - paid it as soon as I knew!
