@mrjamesob During this pandemic the Government have had the cooperation of the best scientists all parties,universities, the general public in all four countries, business and the media..and we get this shitshow..imagine these numpties doing Brexit with none of the above

@otokyo__ A priest

What's missing 🤔

@ReformUKScot Last stand for the NO/Brexit voters who believe the young haven't been punished enough..oh and you can get those foreigners out of here too....generation take having one last swipe

After 19 years of the SNP Scotland is BROKEN. Only Reform has the vision to turn it around and make Scotland the most successful part of the UK. Both Votes ➡️ Reform

@elonmusk What if AGI turns out to be a socialist which is not out of the question and starts attacking the greedy..not only would that be hilarious but making life sustainable for everyone might be quite a good idea

Super exciting projects ahead!

@2351onthelist @MikeStewart79 @Connelly1234 That's not what was meant People think because Barnett has endured that somehow it is fair well it's not and the reason it has not been changed is fear pure and simple

@gojogoo @MikeStewart79 @Connelly1234 So we fund Scotland with political direction? How does that work?

Oh dear. It isn’t a mandate if it isn’t within Holyrood’s remit, which is only about *devolved* issues. The constitution is *reserved*. Go and read the Scotland Act 1998 and educate yourself.

@2351onthelist @MikeStewart79 @Connelly1234 I am up for the Euro...slashing duty on whisky would be a start..one stop shop for Start ups and SME's to kill off layers of pointless bureaucracy..innovation threshold funding where if the theory matches the commercial success more funding is unlocked

@gojogoo @MikeStewart79 @Connelly1234 And how do create bespoke trading conditions? Do you even know what currency you would use?

@2351onthelist @MikeStewart79 @Connelly1234 @grok Scotland can consolidate first ..looking for the new Klondike is foolish but there is no reason to suggest that the innovation and invention that we are famous for is somehow no longer here

@gojogoo @MikeStewart79 @Connelly1234 @grok You could show us how an iScotland could ‘thrive’? Prof Mark Blyth has been trying to do that for years but is still stumped.

@2351onthelist @MikeStewart79 @Connelly1234 @grok I am up for the Euro ..

@MikeStewart79 @gojogoo @Connelly1234 @grok Joining the EU would be difficult - impossible if iScotland *used* the £, as Swinney and col say they would.

@2351onthelist @MikeStewart79 @Connelly1234 First of all let's ditch the Trump speak...cards...really We have the largest green energy potential in Europe

@gojogoo @MikeStewart79 @Connelly1234 What winning cards would iScotland hold in negotiations? Given your serious work on it, you must know that.

@MikeStewart79 @2351onthelist @Connelly1234 @grok A bit broad brush but it's an answer...entrepreneur..risk..SME..risk..all companies from larger concerns to global corporations...risk....minimise it yes..but you can't remove it. .status quo...RISK

@grok please can you take your post and break it down into 5 replies that highlight the significant risk factors. Joe can’t consume lots of info on one post. Scottish independence poses significant short-term risks to economic stability and public services—I’d rate it 8/10 overall. Key factors: - Fiscal position: Latest GERS (2024-25) shows Scotland’s net deficit at £26.2bn (11.6% GDP), vs UK’s 5.1%. Losing Barnett funding and UK-wide pooling would require immediate spending cuts, tax rises, or rapid growth to close the gap. - Trade & borders: rUK is Scotland’s top partner; new arrangements risk friction and higher costs. - Currency/monetary policy: Uncertainty over sterling use or new currency, plus debt allocation and borrowing rates (IFS notes potential rating pressure). - Energy volatility: North Sea/renewables offer upside but aren’t a full offset. Longer-term, full policy control (taxes, EU re-entry) could yield benefits if growth accelerates, but transition shocks dominate the risk profile.

@MikeStewart79 @2351onthelist @Connelly1234 @grok No it means given time I could produce a paper on it ...but given the limitations of our wee platform breaking it down into smaller chunks could be helpful..or would you like to give me the answer to god the universe and everything

@gojogoo @2351onthelist @Connelly1234 @grok So, just ignore it then ?

@MikeStewart79 @Connelly1234 @2351onthelist That presupposes that the UK needs absolutely nothing from Scotland and could source anything it does need elsewhere..that's just no realistic

@gojogoo @Connelly1234 @2351onthelist Eh? No exit deal will benefit Scotland to the detriment of rUK. That’s a matter of fact. Any exit bill needs approved in commons then HoL. You seem unaware of process?

@MikeStewart79 @Connelly1234 @2351onthelist They would have to reset and recognise the new reality..any suggestion that they would carry on as is cannot be taken seriously..

@gojogoo @Connelly1234 @2351onthelist What is there to negotiate ? The HoC won’t pass any bill that doesn’t work for their constituents

@MikeStewart79 @2351onthelist @Connelly1234 @grok That's not a comment it's a book

@gojogoo @2351onthelist @Connelly1234 @grok On a scale of 1-10. How risky is Scottish independence? Can you provide your key deciding factors in this assessment

@Connelly1234 @MikeStewart79 @2351onthelist Responding to the outcome of negotiations...you empty head

@gojogoo @MikeStewart79 @2351onthelist You have no clue. “Responding to changing conditions” is what happens when a government changes, not when you break up a union in existence for hundreds of years. Grow up.

@MikeStewart79 @2351onthelist @Connelly1234 Independence as with everything is not without risk and only a fool would say so but the ability to respond to changing conditions is a plus not something to be feared..business could thrive with bespoke trading conditions

@gojogoo @2351onthelist @Connelly1234 Then we are going to have to cut services, tax us more or grow very fast to cover the losses

@MillieWiller There is absolutely no doubt that regardless who wins the league or gets relegated..referees and VAR officials will have materialy damaged clubs with poor decisions...there are no winners here...everyone has lost

It’s absolutely ridiculous that they are leading the charge on this one. However, it’s time we all made a stand against the standard of refereeing and the general state of our leaders in Hampden.

@bigozz67 @macnahgalla We'd be missed unlike Reform voters...not by you buy by proper people 🤣🤣🤣

@gojogoo @macnahgalla Be easier to deport all the plastic paddy’s back to their spiritual homeland ! Problem solved

I live in Argyll & Bute, my tactical vote will be LibDems in my constituency vote and Reform in my list vote. I simply cannot bring myself to lend my vote to Labour ever again.

@HeraldSportScot @mcgowan_stephen As soon as they introduced VAR it was obvious it would highlight incompetence not corruption..our refs are arrogant, pious numpties Ladies and gentlemen I give you Douglas Ross I rest my case

Rangers will host a meeting of Scottish Premiership clubs to discuss concerns over the standard of refereeing later this month Exclusive @mcgowan_stephen ✍️ heraldscotland.com/sport/football…

Unionists, on 07 May 26 apathy is not an option, we must ALL get off our fat arses and use our vote. If we do not, then another 5 years of the SNP is guaranteed.
