@JohnSwinney You lie more than Starmer, that’s quite a feat!

I’m fed up with the Westminster system that means hard work delivers less and less, while people’s energy and food costs just keep going up. The fresh start of independence would mean we can use Scotland’s resources to benefit Scotland’s people. #BothVotesSNP on May 7th. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Simply shocking..

@JohnSwinney What about Yousaf’s “white speech” any comment???

For as long as I have breath in my body, I will stand up against racism, homophobia and hatred in our society. We will confront those who peddle it, and we will defeat them.

@UK_Needs_Reform @didntellies Just don’t tell them until they’ve left.

Seeking refuge or taking advantage? Should asylum seekers who return home be allowed back into the UK? 🇬🇧 Yes or No — have your say below 👇

@KevinTheRanter @LWhitson16 A new Scot , my arse.

🚨🚨MEET FATIMA JOLI THIS IS A NIGERIAN BORN LADY NOW A “NEW SCOT” SHE PUSHES FOR INDEPENDENCE FOR SNP THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING NO FOREIGNER SHOULD HAVE INFLUENCE OVER HOST COUNTRY

@EdwardJDavey @Askrigg_lad Maybe you should join them?

Imagine seeing British people at prayer and thinking “this is a great chance to stoke fear, hatred and division”. People who do that should have no place in British politics. Freedom to worship is a fundamental British value – one the Conservative Party used to believe in.

@JohnSwinney You’re as big a liar as Starmer, and you know it.

Scotland produces huge amounts of renewable energy, but the UK's broken energy system means people's bills are through the roof. Scotland's energy should work for the benefit of people, not Westminster. On May 7th, vote SNP for the fresh start of independence, with lower bills.

@ScotGovFM @JohnSwinney You’re a pathetic grovelling weasel.

As the holy month of Ramadan comes to an end, First Minister @JohnSwinney has sent his best wishes to everyone celebrating Eid al Fitr.

@ChrisMusson @RolandButter12 Indoctrination is SNP policy.

EXCL: Education Secretary Jenny Gilruth accused of cashing in on school textbook she co-wrote which pushes 'SNP propaganda'. It urges pupils to argue for independence, claims Tories oppose free healthcare, and describes terrorists as “resistance fighters” thescottishsun.co.uk/news/16043474/…

On this day in 1995, the last clan chief in history known to have led his men into battle died at the age of 83. Simon Fraser, the 15th Lord Lovat, was the Chief of Clan Fraser. He was the man Winston Churchill described, in a letter to Joseph Stalin, as “the mildest-mannered man that ever scuttled ship or cut a throat.” The Scottish Commando chief whom Hitler placed a 100,000 Reichsmark bounty on, dead or alive. He was a well respected man that already had a serious war record before D-Day. The night before D-Day, Lovat addressed his men. He closed with this: “A hundred years from now, your children’s children will say - they must have been giants in those days.” Then came June 6th, 1944. Sword Beach, Normandy. As Brigadier of the 1st Special Service Brigade, Lord Lovat waded ashore leading 3,000 commandos into hell. And behind him came the sound that made the whole scene unforgettable. The English War Office had strictly banned bagpipes in battle. They said it was too conspicuous. Too dangerous. Lovat brought his personal piper, Bill Millin, and gave the order: “Play us ashore.” When Millin hesitated, citing the regulations, Lovat smiled and replied: “Ah, but that’s the English War Office. You and I are both Scottish, and that doesn’t apply.” So Millin played Highland Laddie, The Road to the Isles, and All The Blue Bonnets Are Over the Border. Men fell around them. Bullets tore through the surf. The noise of artillery was deafening. And through it all, the unmistakable scream of the bagpipes. Captured German snipers later admitted they had Millin in their sights, but didn’t shoot him because they assumed he had gone completely mad. Lovat’s mission was to reach Pegasus Bridge, where British glider troops were desperately holding on. The schedule said 1pm. Lovat and his men fought their way off the beach and arrived at exactly 1:02 PM. He calmly walked up to the commanding officer under enemy fire and apologised for being two and a half minutes late. His commandos then marched across the bridge in the open. Lovat had ordered his men to wear their green berets instead of steel helmets, so the Germans would know exactly who was coming for them. Twelve men were shot through their berets that day. After that, they finally put their helmets on. But they held the bridge. For Clan Fraser, there was something almost mythic about it. Their ancestors had come from Normandy centuries earlier. Now their chief had led Highland soldiers back onto those same shores in one of the most decisive battles in modern history. Six days later, Lovat was given his last rites after being hit by friendly fire from a stray artillery shell. Against all odds, he survived. He returned home a hero. He went on to serve in Parliament, judge cattle internationally, and manage his massive 250,000-acre Highland estate. But his final years were marked by grief. Two of his sons died within weeks of each other in 1994. Beaufort Castle, his ancestral home, had to be sold that same year. When Lord Lovat died on 16 March 1995, an era died with him. Bill Millin later played at his funeral, bringing the story full circle. The last clan chief who went to war. The brigadier who brought bagpipes onto D-Day. The Highlander with a price on his head. Scotland does not produce many men like that ⚔️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@staylorish @BillyB_UK And to think, others will believe him!

“Our problem, when we’re independent, will be being too wealthy.” From today’s SNP conference, which is being held on another planet.

@RMistereggen European identity being criminalised in plain view, the madness continues..

Just like the English flag is considered racist in the UK, the Norwegian flag in Norway is apparently racist.

@domdyer70 @Pabel5Pabel May the punishment fit the crime😡

A woman has admitted to causing "immense" suffering to 23 cats by trapping them inside a wheelie bin without food or water. Sharon Price, from Epsom in Surrey, placed the cats inside the bin and secured the lid with a disused microwave, leaving them terrified and unable to move. The RSCPA said those at the bottom of the pile were "slowly crushed and suffocated by the weight of the others pressing down on them". It added that the cats' urine dripped down to the bottom of the bin, soaking the bodies of those below and burning their airways. "The ones higher were tangled in a metal grid with no way to escape. They had no option but to stand or lay on the dead bodies of other cats below them," according to the charity. "They all would have experienced extreme fear and physical pain," it added. Eight of the cats died, while the 15 survivors were found severely dehydrated, underweight and covered in fleas. They had been in complete darkness on what was a "hot day", the RSPCA said.

@TheNorfolkLion She reminds me of Dougal in the magic roundabout

Who put a penny in the ugly hobbit

@EdwardJDavey You’re a prime example of the arseholes we have in politics in this country.

Ed Miliband must step in and bar Tesla from holding an energy licence. Elon Musk is a threat to our national security and clearly not a fit person to operate in our energy industry. We can’t have the lights go out because he’s having a strop on X.

@darrylgriffiths @BenGrahamStocks @grok It is indeed the Brent Field, Alpha closest in the pic, now all gone, bar the legs of Bravo, Charle & Delta.

@BenGrahamStocks @grok is the picture of the Brent feild ?

Britain doesn’t have an energy shortage. If the UK actually wanted energy security, the playbook would be obvious: • Fully exploit North Sea oil & gas • Approve large scale fracking for domestic shale gas • Build multiple new nuclear power stations across the country • Reopen and expand gas storage capacity • Reform planning laws blocking energy infrastructure • Build a strategic sovereign energy reserve Energy independence is national security. Cut Net Zero. Drill the North Sea. Frack British shale. Build nuclear.

@OliLondonTV Freak show

This is Hollywood actress Naomi Watts with her Transgender son…

@BBCBreaking @bbclaurak He knows how weak we are under Starmer.

UK should be "very careful" about becoming further involved in war, Iran's ambassador in London tells @bbclaurak bbc.in/4uf1Krz

@BBCNews Swinney & Starmer, two of the wettest farts in politics.

Swinney would 'consider' banning US military planes from Prestwick Airport bbc.in/4ugfthO

He'll get no argument from me.
