Scotland has so much potential, yet is held back by petty, divisive nationalism. United we stand, divided we fall - the SNP is not Scotland.

To quote @themajorityscot, Empty. The. Bins.

Incredibly powerful start to my second day in Zambia with a discussion on Gender Based Violence against women and equalities issues with groups supported by @scotgov Women and Girls Fund. An impactful example of Scotland’s international work in action.

“Free”.
Either you’re paying for it.
Or (if you’re a core SNP voter) someone else is paying for it.
Or England’s paying for it.

Free tuition. Free prescriptions. Scottish Child Payment. Lowest council tax bills in the UK. Peak rail fares gone for good. Child poverty falling. That is our SNP record and proof that self-government works. Imagine how much more we could do with the powers of independence.

Wonder if Gillian’s ever worked full time in her life?

It's time for a 4-day week! A 4 day work week with no loss of pay could transform millions of lives and improve workers’ rights!

Yesterday, 1,017 people were confirmed to have lost their lives to drugs in Scotland.
Today, John Swinney and the SNP will grandstand in the Scottish Parliament about Gaza.
Let that sink in, folks - their priorities are all wrong.

Started by the tories continued by Starmer. The @Glinner arrest for a humorous tweet shows that the UK is in the grip of authoritarianism. There’s lots of talk about the far right but in truth they’re irrelevant….the real danger lies with the fascist left progressives.

First week back after a 9 week summer recess and the SNP are devoting an entire afternoon @ScotParl to discussing Gaza. A total waste of Parliamentary time when there are so many issues under Holyrood’s remit to debate.

Shona Robison claims that “most of the defence spending is on Capital” - this is simply false, as she’d know if she took the time to familiarise herself with the figures her government publishes!
[GERS page 33]
Sam Taylor@staylorish
1/ Shona Robison defends her GERS spin with a litany of false statements: she says her analysis did include spending on military personnel (it didn’t), that the MoD doesn’t know where its people are anyway (of course it does), and that most defence spending is capital (it isn’t).

Shona Robison was baffled by some basic maths questions yesterday about how averages work. It should be a scandal that we have a completely innumerate Cabinet Secretary for Finance, but so low are the expectations of this government, Robison’s obvious incompetence is tolerated.

While Sturgeon pays no Scottish income tax on her media and book earnings - instead paying far lower corporation tax to Wdstminster.
Hypocrisy on tartan stilts.

Nicola Sturgeon in 2017: “For individuals and businesses, tax contributions should be a matter not of what they can get away with but of respecting the spirit of the law and paying a fair contribution. That is my message to individuals."

She tried to stop me from working with a small company for a minuscule fee when I was a backbench MSP. Hypocrisy on stilts
Sam Taylor@staylorish
Nicola Sturgeon looks annoyed when asked about the appropriateness of taking an MSP salary while devoting most of her time to writing a book. In the two and a half years since she stepped down as FM, Sturgeon has made 7 spoken contributions in parliament on matters of substance.
English
As an arch narcissist she’ll be loving the attention.
Only true narcissists would assume the rules around sitting in disabled seats at the airport are not for them. Truly the measure of the woman.
Maureen Johnson@Maureen6Johnson
Unfortunately Nicola Sturgeon continues to be the talk of the steamie, so perhaps we should remind ourselves (courtesy @Fyrishsunset ) of this disturbing scene at disabled section (airport) where along with entourage travelled to a summit they were not invited to. Guess who paid!

If Murrell has an asset of £60k in the form of a debt owed by the SNP, how exactly does he meet the eligibility criteria for legal aid?
@GinaDavidson@ginadavidsonlbc
Correction: The loan from "former executive management", ie Peter Murrell, is still £60k.

Well my nationalist chums, how stupid do you feel now? 😁

SNP accounts for 2024 just published, and party finances have suffered a further deterioration. Membership income down 12.5% vs 2023, and expenditure exceeded income by £455k in 2024. The balance sheet shows liabilities exceeding assets.
English
His wife is rolling in cash, and the political party they jointly led and had fiduciary financial oversight for still owes him £60k.
But of course the taxpayer will pay his legal costs for the embezzlement case, because he has no access to sufficient funds.
Yep, it reeks.
Record Politics@Record_Politics
Peter Murrell still owed £60,000 by SNP despite former party chief executive claiming legal aid dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…
