Tickets, please: ScotRail's not the Orient Express, but it's chuffing decent. Britain’s lowest rate of train cancellations, 2% against an average of 3.3%. And a satisfaction rating of 91%. OK, Wi-fi is still a myth, not a promise, but the train rocks. www.holyrood.com/comment/view...

On Friday, let us wear red to show solidarity with those who are fighting racism across the country. Racism has no place in our society, and we must do all we can to oppose it. Find out more here: www.theredcard.org/wear-red-day/

They lie about the ECHR. Just like they lied about Brexit. Claiming if we just got rid of that ‘European’ thing, we’d be free, we’d have control, all our problems solved… It’s NOT TRUE. We’d inflict more chaos on ourselves and torch our own human rights framework for NOTHING. For liars. Again.

If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.

Labour is telling you VERY LOUDLY who to vote for if you value human rights. And it's definitely NOT LABOUR.

Folk better stop laughing this off. Reform-run No10 means ripped-up workers’ rights, climate denial baked into policy, migrants and minorities used as target practice, and the NHS carved up for profit. Farage is a millionaire dressed up as “one of the lads,” He and his mates will not suffer you will

No Scottish parties support leaving the ECHR. The parties that do are all based in England, but stand candidates for election in Scotland. Then promote the spin HQ developed to appeal to voters in England.

No doubt this de-banking will also be splashed across the front pages of every single newspaper in the country and lead BBC bulletins for weeks on end too? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

UK faces highest inflation in G7 this year and next, IMF warns. Biggest cause is profiteering led by energy, water and food businesses. No govt checks it. Real average wage stuck at 2008 level. 1% have more wealth than 70% of the population combined. Govts needs to remove cash from the rich.

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.

Excellent example of The SNP working within the devolved powers of the Scottish Parliament to mitigate the British Government’s harmful approach to migration 💛 We could do so much much more with ALL the powers. www.thenational.scot/news/2553922...

This 👇 It beggars belief that people still think the BBC is an honest broker!

Westminster caused this cost of living crisis - and they’re unable and unwilling to fix it. Independence is how we raise your living standards, grow our economy and make Scotland’s energy wealth work for the people who live here.

The SNP's Stephen Flynn spelled it out clearly today: Scotland needs a fresh start - Scotland needs Independence. (video stream: @broadcastscot.bsky.social )

Trump pressure to hike UK drug prices could cost NHS billions. Corporate profits will increase. NHS budget will buy less. People to pay higher taxes or face public service cuts. To avoid bullying UK Govt must produce cheaper generic drugs. Who governs UK - Govt, Trump, Corporations?

"15 years ago, Polish workers came here to find opportunity. Now Poland is growing twice as fast as we are," says Kemi Badenoch. Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?

More evidence of Private Equity disaster in US healthcare PE bought hospitals, GP practices, nursing homes. Cut wages, staff, investment, care; load with debt; extract profits; deaths, injuries rise. Why is UK govt handing healthcare to PE/corporations? Say NO to privatisation of the NHS.

🙌 There are 143 local & national grassroots campaign groups affiliated to Believe in Scotland and together we have distributed more than 5 million pieces of physical campaign material for independence. 🟦 Here is our Independence campaign review for '25. bit.ly/471xF3Z

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

No sudden rupture is now required for the far right to take power in this country. For what we're seeing is a steady normalisation of extremists by the Conservative and Labour Parties, BBC, Telegraph, Mail and others. A shift once considered unthinkable beings to look acceptable, even inevitable.🧵

Healthcare should be guaranteed as a human right #MedicareForAll @salaambhattiva.bsky.social

If any Government can just snatch basic human rights away from any section of society when it pleases then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want

Labour liars.

Ed Miliband has confirmed that a vote for Anas Sarwar to be first minister is a vote for nuclear power stations in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland already more than meets its own annual demand through renewable energy - we don’t need dangerous and dirty nuclear energy. (Lee Robb)

If Michelle Mone gets to keep the superyacht, the private jet and the seat in the House of Lords, at least give the 'benefit scroungers' narrative a break for a couple of weeks

What are we doing to help with the cost of living? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scrapped peak rail fares 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Free prescriptions and eye tests 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Lower water bills and council tax than rest of the UK While Westminster governments deliver cuts and chaos, the SNP is delivering for Scotland.

Today, energy bills increase again across the UK. Labour said they’d fix this - but on their watch, our energy bills are going up. With independence, we can use our energy wealth to benefit people and bring bills down. That’s the fresh start Scotland needs. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Welcome to Heaven, Dr. Jane Goodall. You made the world a better place.

Delighted that our Housing Bill was just passed by the Scottish Parliament. It will deliver a fairer deal for tenants - more affordable rents, safer homes, stronger protections. It will help prevent homelessness, and ultimately, change lives. And it will bring new investment in housing.

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.

UK median wage for an employee is £30,816. A single person needs to earn £30,500 a year to reach a minimum acceptable standard of living. A couple with 2 children needs £74,000 a year between them. Can't rebuild economy based on low wages and poverty.

In the light of his colleague and Reform's Welsh leader admitting to taking bribes from Russia, is Farage going to be asked about his and his Brexit party MEPs' vote in the EU parliament in 2019 against plans to tackle Russian propaganda? www.theguardian.com/world/2019/o...

This move by the Scottish Greens also risks them losing the goodwill of SNP supporters which they will need to do well in the regional list vote. The stakes are far too high for student politics.

There are many alarming things about Starmer's ID plan, he's creating instruments of state surveillance which he'll hand over to the far right after the next general election. If there's a pro indy majority in Holyrood after 2026, ScotGov needs to hold an indyref & dare Starmer to stop them.

4. We pay again and again for a failure to raise taxes. It’s a false economy, for which we suffer in multiple ways. Fair Taxation Saves Us Money.

Disappointment at Starmer’s ID cards on ice… BUT… - concern about illegal immigration exploded because the far right wanted it to. - immigrants are not to blame for creaking public services. Govts are. - the hostile environment encourages exploitation. - don’t wave the flag in our faces. Be honest.

Farage built Brexit, and Brexit broke Britain. Nigel Farage is the cause of the mess we’re in - not the solution.

I am opposed to mandatory digital ID - people should be able to go about their daily lives without such infringements. That aside, by calling it BritCard, the Prime Minister seems to be attempting to force every Scot to declare ourselves British. I am a Scot. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

BREAKING: The Scottish Government has confirmed it opposes Labour's plans to introduce compulsory Digital ID

UK: pls can we have a crumb of affordable homes and non-cost-of-living-crisis Starmer: so you're saying you want *spins wheel* ID cards

I don't want Starmer's Brit Card. I am not now and have never been British. I'm Scottish and European, not part of Starmer's flag obsessed British nationalist Greater England. Take yer Brit card and ram it.

No matter how much Tories and Labour love to talk down Scotland, we are big enough, smart enough and wealthy enough to succeed. Scotland’s economy is already growing faster than the UK - and independence would give us the full powers to go further. Here are the facts. 👇
