@theSNP @MareeToddMSP We could be doing so much better if you fucking clown stopped giving our money away

Scotland has what it takes. Countries like Denmark, Norway, Iceland and Ireland show what can happen when nations make their own choices: stronger economies, fairer societies and happier people. Independence is Scotland’s chance to lower bills, protect our NHS, and put our future where it belongs: in Scotland’s hands.

@theSNP @MareeToddMSP They don’t have corrupt political parties that are stuck in a time warp like we have running Scotland

@scotgov @JohnSwinney Government page pushing snp party agenda 🥱

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.

@theSNP Screaming skull 💀 another one going through the motions just to keep donations coming in

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Parliament must unite behind our right to decide.

@Gillian_Mackay1 @Ross_Greer

There is a clear pro-independence majority in Scotland’s Parliament, elected democratically by the people of Scotland. Unionist parties should respect that mandate and stop blocking Scotland’s right to choose our own future.

@spectator @NatJack63982236 Misleading holyrood then 🤷🏻‍♂️

Before being elected MSP for Edinburgh and Lothians East, Q Manivannan – who is a biological male and whose original first name is Srivatsan, but who now uses the pronouns they/them – told party members that they were ‘a queer Tamil immigrant’ from a ‘lower caste’ background. This qualified them to speak for the ‘working class and marginalised’ because they often went ‘hungry and because I was starved… worked and lied and begged.’ According to a Sunday Times investigation, this account doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. It transpires that Manivannan actually hails from an upper-middle class family in Chennai, one of India’s wealthiest cities. While the MSP claims to be the descendant of panoply of underworld exotics, of ‘courtesans, dancers, musicians, hunters and prostitutes’, the Green politician’s father reportedly has degrees in chemical engineering and business administration and their mother had a career in academia. The young Manivannan attended a private school, a private liberal arts and law university, and in 2019 went to work at a consultancy in Delhi which helps the super-rich gain places at international universities. This is all rather awkward for a Scottish Green party that wants to abolish private schools. ✍️ Patrick West Article | spectator.com/article/q-mani…

@GBNEWS That’s exactly what he’s doing

‘It looks politicised and smells corrupt.’ Columnist at The Scotsman, Brian Monteith, believes the decision to move Peter Murrell’s hearing from before to after the elections in Scotland is where serious questions have to be asked. 📺 Freeview 236, Sky 512, Virgin 604

@JohnSwinney I can’t wait for you to be told “ go fuck yourself you can’t have one “ can you do a video of you opening that letter 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The Scottish Parliament has spoken. A significant majority of MSPs has voted to affirm the right of people in Scotland to decide their constitutional future. This is democracy and it must be respected. Scotland’s future must be in Scotland’s hands. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@JohnSwinney Read the room ya daft cunt everyone know you can’t deliver a referendum your just going through the motions then you’ll cry about it and move on back to your day job of wasting taxpayers money on shit we don’t need or want

@JohnSwinney Did you ask if this is ok with everyone

@Gillian_Mackay1 @Ross_Greer It isn’t what people really class as a priority if it was there would have been a bigger turn out and more votes for the snp fact they lost 100’s of thousands

@Political_AlanS Thanks for taking one for the team pater 👍

Former SNP treasurer Colin Beattie - who was arrested and released without charge during Operation Branchform - gives his response to Peter Murrell pleading guilty to embezzling over 400k from the SNP

@boswelltoday @UnrepentantYoon @ionafyfe Ffs 🤦🏻‍♂️ it wasn’t some surprise they were told something was wrong and did nothing he was still spending after it was highlighted

.@IonaFyfe has blocked half of X, presumably to protect herself from the unbearable cruelty of people noticing what she says. So here she is on another platform, laying out her Nicola Sturgeon sycophancy in plain sight. A useful little window into the mind of the permanently captured.

@ScotNational If this happened in another party the snp and the national would be bouncing around calling for heads to roll

After Peter Murrell plead guilty today, politicians began turning the finger on Nicola Sturgeon. Our Editor Laura Webster and Political Reporter Steph Brawn discuss

@ScotNational So as a leader when people raise the red flags you think that leader shouldn’t have acted on the concerns of other. In the real world she is fully responsible for it getting to £400K. He was still spending even after the red flags were raised

@ScotNational She was the leader of the party she should take responsibility

@PeterAdamSmith He was still spending even after red flags were raised. No trial and a back room deal mean we will never see the truth

Asked if it was a mistake for the SNP to allow the chief executive and party leader to be a married couple, John Swinney refused to say it had been inappropriate, or that it contributed to a lack of good governance. But he insists the SNP has good governance now.

@macnahgalla @Deryeyoor @theSNP He was still spending even after red flags were raised

@MailOnlineScot @ayeaye_thenoo So the promise of transparency was another lie

@Channel4News Why ask we all know she she knew they were all told to cover it up and protect the hive

Channel 4 News' Scotland Correspondent Kathryn Samson asks Scotland's First Minister John Swinney whether he thinks Nicola Sturgeon was misled by her estranged husband, Peter Murrell, who embezzled more than £400,000 from the SNP. Murrell pleaded guilty in High Court to embezzlement between August 2010 and October 2022. In a statement today, the former SNP leader says her former husband "deceived" her and that she's "angry, hurt, sad and very distressed."
