MID-STRATHMORE SNP

Huge thanks to our Mid Strathmore SNP members for coming out to campaign and to the many residents who hosted our garden signs & welcomed us on the doorsteps. ❤️ #VoteSNP

🗓 Scotland and Norway struck oil at the same time. 🇳🇴 They used their wealth to build a better future. 🇬🇧 Westminster used our wealth to plug its own gaps. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland needs the power to decide its own future. Westminster has been holding us back for too long! #BothVotesSNP

We are back out in the streets of Strathmore today to get our branch member elected! Thank you for the kind support & toots! #activeSNP

✅ A new poll has confirmed what we all already knew, John Swinney is the most popular party leader in Scotland! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Under his leadership, @theSNP is taking Scotland forward!

‼️ Scotland’s oil and gas future will be decided by the MP for Doncaster North, who appears determined to shut it down and replace it with imported hydrocarbons from overseas. Our future is an ever greater use of renewables but we must transition not rupture as Labour are doing.

🥱 It’s the same old story for Scots in Broken Brexit Britain. - Wages are stagnant - Growth is flat - Living standards aren’t improving 🗳️ We need a fresh start with independence and we can do that by making it #BothVotesSNP on May 7th. theguardian.com/business/2026/…

🤝 It was great to visit the Pitlochry Sketchers and their one year anniversary exhibition recently. They offer an amateur, friendly, no-pressure environment where people of all abilities can come together to sketch. A brilliant local initiative and a real asset to the community.

😵‍💫 Peter Mandelson initially asked for £500,000+ of taxpayers’ money after he was sacked as the UK’s ambassador to the US. 🤯 Epstien's pal should have received nothing, but still walked away with £75,000! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Only with independence can we escape this corrupt Westminster circus.

Stephen Flynn says what we’re all thinking.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 English students now pay over £9,500 a year in tuition fees and Labour will put them up every year from now on. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Meanwhile in Scotland @theSNP introduced free tuition and will always ensure that access to education is based on the ability to learn, not the ability to pay.

Good news for Western Isles bus users 🚍 Single fares on participating routes now cost no more than £2 as part of a 12‑month pilot. Save money and choose greener travel. Details ➡️ transport.gov.scot/twopound

Ardrossan Harbour will come into public ownership as part of a major investment in our ferry services. @FionaHyslop also confirmed the replacement for MV Lord of the Isles will go to competitive tender, with an order placed later this year. Read more ➡️ transport.gov.scot/news/investmen…

We rescued Ferguson Marine to save jobs, and we are determined to see it succeed. Today we have set out proposals to award four new vessel contracts to Ferguson Marine – to secure a pipeline of work, protect jobs and strengthen the future of shipbuilding on the Clyde.

We agree! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #ItsScotlandsEnergy

Labour are just talking nonsense on energy.

First Minister @JohnSwinney has reaffirmed our solidarity with Ukraine in a statement to @ScotParl. Watch for more.

Labour promised to cut energy bills by £300. They completely failed - bills are higher now than when they came into power. To lower bills and make Scotland’s energy work for Scotland’s people, we need independence.

Sun? In Strathmore?! ☀️ We had to get out and check it wasn’t a rumour. Brilliant to catch up with everyone, soak up the long-awaited rays, and chat about the small matter of getting one of our members elected to the Scottish Parliament. Sunshine and seats!

Back out campaigning in Linwood today. Lots of people planning to vote @theSNP in May 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
