OOPS !!!!! Ghana came into this World Cup with a FIFA World ranking of 73.

As expected Starmer resigns What will be interesting is who he chooses to grant the ermine robes to. Particularly given he is supposedly opposed to the upper chamber and had pledged to abolish it Anyone care to speculate on who might end up on his honours list and be nominated for a life peerage?

😂😂😂😂

Holyrood passed a motion calling on Starmer to grant a S30 order. Mr Swinney has said he will meet Starmer to press the democratic mandate from the pro-indy Holyrood majority. Now they should Publish a draft Referendum Bill and hold further debates/motions in Holyrood to reinforce the mandate.

Westminster has had over 300 years to make the Union work. It has failed. 𝗪𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗿 Just recently we've seen Tory Brexit, Labour's attacks on the sick and disabled, and Reform UK's politics of racism and hatred. The Celtic nations have an alternative. 𝗡𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲.

Join us at Holyrood on 23rd June, 12 - 1pm! 10 years on from the 2016 Brexit vote we demand a better future for Scotland: #independence and return to the EU. Please come and say hello @johnswinney.bsky.social, @gillianmackaygreen.bsky.social, @ross-greer.bsky.social and all pro-indy, pro-EU MSPs 😊

Labour are cutting the welfare bill by around £2.5 billion a year mainly through cuts to health and disability benefits, including PIP and the health element of Universal Credit. They are increasing defence spending. Is cutting support for the sick and disabled really the only option available?

Farage: I will evict foreign nationals from council housing. Migrants will be given three months to find private accommodation or face being deported under Reform leader’s plans. He's talking about all foreign nationals, regardless of whether they're here legally or not.

Massive crowd of proper Glaswegians vs wee smattering of Yoonatic racist Neds. Notice how the Polis are facing the Neds? Clearly they are facing them close up, because they know that they are the troublemakers. #Glasgow 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Can we move past the whataboutery about how the unionist parties and Westminster have done far worse than Murrell and focus instead on holding the SNP and Scottish Greens to their manifesto commitments? They promised a second independence referendum for our votes. Now is the time to deliver it.

This all we need to know about Westminster. Labour, Tories, Lib Dems and Reform UK have all declined to say Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Only the SNP, Plaid Cymru, both Green parties and Sinn Féin leaders have explicitly described Israel's actions in Gaza as genocide. 𝐄𝐍𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐎𝐍

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… 🪿

I’ve no doubt Murrell should be in jail, nor that the SNP internal checks and balances have fallen well short of what is expected. But there are far more serious cases that attract far less attention. The focus here is driven by one objective: damaging the independence movement. It won't work.

Now do you understand the duplicity of the Westminster establishment & their use of the compliant British media? Now I'm no fan of Murrell & Sturgeon, This situation is entirely of their own making from their 'Marriage of convenience' which was destined to crash & burn. Yet Mone gets off Scot free.

Twice as many unionist parties in Scotland yet still pro-independence. With 2026 being the fourth Scottish Parliament election in a row to return a pro-independence majority and the biggest in Holyrood history, how can they keep claiming there’s no appetite for another referendum? 𝗡𝗢𝗪 𝗜𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘

😂 😂 the funniest bit is that it needn’t be a junkie.

Other than the first two Scottish Parliament elections, pro-independence parties have held a combined majority in Holyrood since 2011. Four consecutive pro-independence majorities. The latest one being the biggest yet at 73 seats to 56. When will Westminster finally get the message? 𝗘𝗡𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗢𝗡

Ah, right enough! If only the independence movement had known a Labour government didn’t support independence or another referendum, we’d have packed away the banners years ago and taken up gardening instead. Strange that nobody thought to tell us this groundbreaking new information sooner.

The expected response was “The UK Government does not support independence or another referendum.” But Scotland is not asking Westminster to support independence - only to respect Scotland’s right to choose. That decision belongs to the people of Scotland, not Westminster. Where's the democracy?

Once donated, the money became SNP funds, not the donor’s, so individuals wouldn’t likely be entitled to claim it back. The SNP were the victims here, not those at fault. Talk of “claiming it back” risks implying otherwise. Perhaps the SNP should instead pursue Murrell for the amount embezzled.

If this pro-indy parliament asks the same question now as the last pro-indy parliament, it will get the same response – doing the same thing and expecting a different result being the first sign of madness, writes Tommy Sheppard ✍️

Five Scottish election wins in a row, each on a manifesto commitment to independence. The mandate is there and now is the time to act. We should all be encouraging and pushing the SNP and Scottish Greens to take Scotland forward. We can’t rely on words alone this time. 𝗡𝗢 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗔𝗦𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚

He's calling himself: 𝗦𝗛𝗔𝗗𝗢𝗪 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗦𝗧 𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I like this - a lot.

I wouldn’t expect to win any prizes for forecasting the result 73 FOR - 56 AGAINST. What will be interesting is whether a request for a 2nd referendum carries any consequences if it is refused. If there are no consequences, then it’s fair to ask what the point of the request is in the first place.

While Labour flounder and Starmer’s jacket hangs on a shoogly nail, the two front runners to captain the Titanic are squabbling over whether to eventually address the disaster that is Brexit, with no solid commitment from either of them. 𝗦𝗰𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

5 Scottish election wins in a row, each on a manifesto commitment to independence. The mandate is there - now is the time to act We all need to encourage and push for the SNP to move Scotland forward - especially those who backed “both votes SNP” We cannot sit back on words alone this time round.

For anyone still claiming the indy movement has no democratic mandate, the numbers tell a different story. Since 2007, pro-independence has won 5 consecutive Scottish Parliament elections, with the SNP governing Holyrood for nearly two decades, including a historic majority in 2011 with 69 MSPs.

On Tuesday the Scottish Parliament will vote on Scotland’s next First Minister. The Presiding Officer must then contact “Charlie boy” doon sooth before the First Minister can be formally appointed and sworn in. All that ceremony, just for Westminster to ignore the Scottish Government anyway.
