On Thursday 7 May, let’s keep Scotland connected to 𝗼𝘂𝗿 Parliament. 🟡 Vote SNP in your constituency. 🟢 Vote Scottish Greens on the regional list. ❌️ Labour in turmoil. ❌️ Reform UK utterly unthinkable. ❌️ Tories and Lib Dems adrift from reality. 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝘆𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗱 – 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿

Whether Starmer stays or goes, what will remain is the same broken Westminster system that fails to serve Scotland. For the Scotland we want, we need independence.

🇬🇧 Despite Anas Sarwar knowing that Pam Duncan-Glancy continues to have a very close ‘friendship’ with a twice convicted Child Sex Offender, she retains the LABOUR whip, and the FULL SUPPORT of Anas Sarwar 🇬🇧 Both Sarwar and Starmer have knowingly endorsed associates of known Child Sex Offenders 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺😎

It’s absolutely amazing but sadly not surprising that despite the turmoil in the Labour Party, the branch office manager is getting off extremely lightly… unless, of course, he’s busy slagging off Scotland and everything the Scottish Government has achieved with its progressive policies.

Anas Sarwar has always been one of the most deceitful, grifting politicians in Scotland and it never ceases to amaze me how some people fall for that deception. It's always been an illusion that he believes in progressive politics rather than his own self-importance, image and career.

Not a fan of Jeremy Clarkson or The Sun, but his Jan 31 column that's doing the rounds on social media is actually spot on.

With a big majority, Labour could introduce free further education in England. Scots can’t access free uni places in England. Maybe we need a one-for-one deal, or even better, Westminster could just get its act together. Instead, they just attack Scotland. www.thenational.scot/news/2582022...

It’s telling that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is rarely called “the King’s brother” in news stories, while Peter Murrell is always “Nicola Sturgeon’s husband”. From now on, it has to be nothing other than: “King Charles’s brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor”. What’s good for the goose… 🪿

From now to the election any post referring to the Leader of Scottish Labour should be referred to as 'Old friend of Peter Mandelson, Anas Sarwar' and that should start at FMQ's this week.

1/3rd UK landmass. 1/12th UK population. Abundance of energy. Enough oil and gas for our own needs. 32% of the UK natural capital. Biggest fishing industry. No shortage of water. Everything a modern successful nation needs, We would boom. We have the bricks. Indy is the mortar.

The Scottish Parliament has been around for 27yrs. A Labour run coalition for the 1st 8yrs. Since then it’s been pro-indy governments. After almost 2 decades of pro-indy leadership, Unionists want to drag it back under Westminster control. That says everything about where their priorities lie.

Dear #IndyClan a wee reminder that I have six starter packs chock full of personally vetted pro #ScottishIndependence folks. You can securely follow all in each, or pick and choose, but I guarantee NO bots or trolls. #YouYesNow #IndyClan? It's TIME for #ScottishIndependence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Love, Me.

After the election, there is no automatic process for deciding who becomes FM, regardless of the result. The MSPs vote to choose the FM. If unionist parties back Sarwar or Offord, it would be a deliberate move to oust the SNP. That’s all they care about. We can't give them the numbers they need.

It’s clear the mainstream media have their knives out ahead of May’s election. Westminster owned & funded “Scottish” unionist parties still hold nearly half of Holyrood seats and are coming for Scotland's Parliament and its progressive record. We can’t afford to stand by and let it happen.

At Westminster, Scotland-only parties hold a meaningless 1.4% of seats, while UK “Scottish” Unionist parties hold 7.4%. Meanwhile, in our own 𝗦𝗖𝗢𝗧𝗧𝗜𝗦𝗛 𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗟𝗜𝗔𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧, UK-wide unionist parties still control a hefty 43% of MSPs on devolved matters. Representation isn’t equal. 𝗘𝗡𝗗 𝗪𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗥𝗨𝗟𝗘

Minimising Westminster controlled & Westminster financed parties and their MSP's at Holyrood in May has never mattered more. I'd be more than happy with a single-party SNP majority but that is extremely unlikely. so voting SNP 1, Greens 2 is crucial to protect Scotland’s progressive policies.

Westminster has had over 300 years to get it right, and to be politely frank, they’ve made a complete mess of it and it’s only getting worse. Scotland has another option. Whatever you do on 7 May - VOTE FOR SCOTLAND

"Scotland’s free training and bursary (for nurses) means TWICE as many train to then give us 50% more nurses in hospitals and lower mortality rates"

Scotland’s progressive policies are being weakened by Westminster inaction. We cannot afford a coalition of Westminster controlled parties to take control on 7 May. Let’s minimise Westminster parties presence in Holyrood and put 𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝’𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭.

With Labour’s UK government tanking in the polls, the Tories in freefall and Reform hoovering up the debris and dumping it in their own cabinet, it’s long past time to spring-clean the Scottish Parliament. Let’s minimise Westminster parties presence in Holyrood and put 𝐒𝐜𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝’𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭.

PS - The fact that the media was informed of the NEC decision before I was tells you everything you need to know about the way the Labour Party is being run these days. You would think that over 30 years of service would count for something but sadly not. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Voting SNP on the regional list carries a very high risk of helping Westminster parties win seats. Because the SNP usually wins constituencies, their list votes are heavily discounted. That means most SNP list votes don’t turn into MSPs. SNP 1 Greens 2 is a better way to maximise pro-indy seats.

𝗕𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝘃𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗦𝗡𝗣 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲 If a party (like the SNP) wins lots of constituency seats (as expected), the system actively makes it harder for them to gain regional seats - 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝘃𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗴𝗲𝘁. It makes it almost impossible to gain many (or any) regional seats in that region.

The irony is that this kind of behaviour often reinforces the very case they’re trying to undermine. It tells people, quite plainly that Scotland’s democratic choices are only respected when they align with Westminster’s interests. That’s not a great advert for the Union and never has been.

It’s now blatantly obvious that 𝗨𝗞 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗿 are in turmoil, with Starmer and Sarwar desperately fighting for their political survival. They’re stooping to any level to protect their positions. We cannot allow them or any other Westminster-controlled party to influence the Scottish Parliament. 𝗩𝗢𝗧𝗘👇

“Both votes SNP” helps Westminster’s unionist parties. Under AMS, a second SNP list vote is wasted. Wasted votes mean unionist seats. Even if the SNP do somehow managed a very unlikely single Majority - 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 𝗪𝗜𝗟𝗟 𝗕𝗘 𝗡𝗢 𝗥𝗘𝗙𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗨𝗠 We cannot afford a majority of unionist party seats at Holyrood.

Latest poll shows no SNP list seats!! So who is still going to throw away their second vote again?! A million wasted at the last election!Keep the unionists out of our parliament & vote Greens on your second vote. There are other parties too ISP, Alba at least every pro Indy vote will be counted.

There are countless reasons 𝗻𝗼𝘁 to vote Labour. But the idea of pouring a “wall of money” into new nuclear in Scotland despite our vast clean, renewable energy potential - alongside the horrifying prospect of Anas Sarwar as First Minister, has to be right up there.

The both votes SNP approach risks favouring the unionist side. Treating the list vote as a 2nd SNP vote wastes it under AMS and can hand seats to unionist parties. 𝗪𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗺 If we’re serious about leaving the UK, we need a strategy that actually maintainspro-independence seats.
