Just to be crystal clear; I am a European, not a remoaner or a snowflake; a proud and unapologetic European. Death to Brexit.

@Slumber200 @DW8530 @danielgoyal It doesn’t run a massive deficit. The Scottish Government is required by law to balance its books every year.

@tigerloun @DW8530 @danielgoyal I'd happily see NHS staff on higher wages. Its achievable just now because scotland runs a massive deficit. Under independence we'd need to grow rapidly or public spending would be slashed. Unless u think we could just 'tax the rich' to pay?

Scotland hasn’t voted for a right wing government since 1955 Yet since then we have spent 47 years under right wing rule Now we are facing being ruled by a far right UK Party…. despite voting overwhelmingly for a socialist party. Do you blame us for seeking Independence?

@DW8530 @upthedancin_ @danielgoyal It’s not SNP pish, it your pish about NHS staff paying higher taxes - see above. You are wrong and now desperately deflecting.

@tigerloun @upthedancin_ @danielgoyal As of this month, the starting salary for a nurse in Scotland is £33,247. I get you really want to believe the pish the SNP feed you about beinf massively better off, but the reality is not that.

@DW8530 @imbackalready @danielgoyal Obviously it’s impossible to divide that out. Westminster was responsible for the Covid response. It is possible to say that there is considerable evidence of fraud by the Tories and their donors but I haven’t seen much evidence of fraud by the Scottish Government.

@tigerloun @imbackalready @danielgoyal Absolutely they should be taken to task…but we are talking about what happened in Scotland here. You clowns always seem to think that you can hide behind others failings.

@DW8530 @upthedancin_ @danielgoyal No they don’t. A proportion of staff will pay more. Lower paid staff pay less income tax, but you know that.

@upthedancin_ @tigerloun @danielgoyal NHS staff in Scotland also pay more income tax. You forgot to mention that. You can throw terms of contracts at me all you like, it doesn’t negate for the actual conditions the staff work under and the general feeling.

@DW8530 @imbackalready @danielgoyal Oh, I think everyone is pretty much aware of the massive fraud perpetrated by the Tories and their acolytes. Not sure how much of that fraud they “allocated” to Scotland. Richi Rich wrote off billions.

@tigerloun @imbackalready @danielgoyal You had better go tell Audit Scotland that then! 🤔 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…

@imbackalready @DW8530 @danielgoyal Here’s an example. The National Treatment Centre in Inverness and the other National Treatment Centres. Built and staffed to address the massive waiting lists that Covid caused. We know that Westminster’s Tory VIP lane just filled the pockets of Tory donors.

@tigerloun @DW8530 @danielgoyal She got a lot of billions to deal with covid where did it go ? It wasn't spent on covid coz she killed a fair few grannies

@PaulJSweeney @ScottishLabour Are you going to remove free bus travel for older people and youngsters?

For better buses and a better deal, vote @ScottishLabour on May 7th🚍

@imbackalready @DW8530 @danielgoyal I think you are confused. It was the Tory VIP lane and people like Tory grandees, Michelle Mone and Lord Tootie of Torry who stole billions

@tigerloun @DW8530 @danielgoyal Brexit was not a Westminster policy That was a democracy Just because you didn't like the outcome DOESN'T MAKE WESTMINSTERS FAULT STURGEON STOLE HOW MANY BILLION OF THE COVID PAYMENT SCOTLAND RECEIVED AS THAT MONEY DISAPPEARED POOF VANISHED DICKHEAD

@ElizabethDuthi2 @DW8530 @danielgoyal @theSNP No, I’m not, I worked in NHS Scotland all the way through Covid and I’m glad we had a barrier from “let the bodies pile high” Boris. A derelict, dishonest incompetent fool.

@tigerloun @DW8530 @danielgoyal Little industrial Action simply Higher NHS WAGES because @TheSNP always CAVE IN so they an say ‘Look at us we’re better than England’ GROSS Mismanagement of Covid Just what did @TheSNP do that was so good You really are DELUSIONAL !!

@DW8530 @danielgoyal You prefer to see NHS staff on poorer wages and strikes disrupting services. That’s failure!!

@tigerloun @danielgoyal The pay deals in Scotland were uncosted, were taken out of existing NHS budgets and led to a reduction in services to pay for them. It was all political game by SNP to say 'no strikes in Scotland'. If you fail to see that then you are hugely naive.

@AlanDuncan22 @danielgoyal While your heroes Farage and Robinson are down on bended knee to America’s Saville and his woman battering chums.

@tigerloun @danielgoyal Natz despises women and children hence the SNP, greens stand hand in hand with the perpetrators every single time

@AlanDuncan22 @danielgoyal Don’t give us any of your crap about women and children as long as you suck up to Trump and his paedophile chums.

@danielgoyal Give us the right wing over leftist anti Semitic hamas, Isis, grooming gang supporters, who despise women and children all day long. 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

@DW8530 @danielgoyal Nah, we appreciate the higher wages in NHS Scotland, the fact that there is little industrial action and that major issues are down to Westminster policies like Brexit and the gross mismanagement of Covid.

@danielgoyal Nah Daniel, you are 100% an SNP shill now. With the state of the NHS in Scotland and you being a doctor and you are openly advocating for independence which would utterly destroy the NHS up here. Have a word with yerself.

@L__Macfarlane To be fair their industrial strategy e.g. the green freeports, is completely undermined by a Labour government in Westminster. The rejection of inward investment and destruction of assets eg Grangemouth are outwith the Scottish government’s control, until independence.

SNP: Smart framing on cost of living, although not much new that would help in the short term. Some good reforms, and some less good. Weak on industrial strategy, little on tax, and a lot of restating existing policy. Very steady-as-she-goes. Fiscal sums seem somewhat optimistic

Finally finished reading the manifestos for the Scottish election. Some initial reflections on the economic side 🧵

Don't fancy the sound of government-funded artists

@sunshineonleith @Dr_PhilippaW @BestForBritain @UKTradeBusiness @theSNP My memory is different, fence sitting Labour led by the Tooting People’s Popular Front (continuing) failing repeatedly to vote with the SNP because of the Bain “principles” . Magic grandpa asking for Brexit to happen as quickly as possible, Labour rebels, Skinner etc opposing.

@Dr_PhilippaW @BestForBritain @UKTradeBusiness @theSNP If SNP had voted for keeping certain Eu rules we wouldn’t be in this mess - they had the numbers but didn’t turn up for the vote / what the hell do they think they are paid for or are they just thick

Having served for 3 years on @BestForBritain’s. @UKTradeBusiness Commission, I’m pretty shocked you’re pushing pro #Brexit #Labour candidates in #Scotland over pro #EU @theSNP! Poor! #VoteSNP & #ScottishIndependence for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿in 🇪🇺

@80_mcswan No

If you are from Scotland, England, Wales or Northern Ireland, do you feel at all British?

@NewsieOne @DerrickEvans4WV Trump???

@DerrickEvans4WV Isn't it interesting that the right loudly acknowledges when someone from their camp needs to go, but the Dems pretended that Biden was competent for 4 years, even insisting he ran rings around everyone? Quite the contrast.

🚨 NEW: Mitch McConnell is stalling the SAVE America Act by refusing to schedule it, effectively blocking the bill despite GOP support.

@shellenberger @Jim_Jordan @UnderSecPD @DarrellIssa A limitation on the spew of psyops inspired misinformation gushing out from the US tech bro oligarchy. I’m happy.

BREAKING: Congress is considering stripping sovereign immunity of EU censorship officials, prohibiting social media from enforcing censorship orders, and enabling private lawsuits against foreign entities, says @Jim_Jordan echoing remarks made by @UnderSecPD and @DarrellIssa

@KirkwoodKr25830 @dave24144975 Immigration is unfortunately a reserved matter. Point your finger at Westminster.
