“The British press usually works itself into a fury if people in public life threaten legal action against journalists... But when it comes to the wall of money and lawyers propping up Farage and his finances, barely a squeak” Democracy dying in the darkness. www.independent.co.uk/voices/nigel...

Big problems for Starmer as he realises that Cymru, Scotland and Northern Ireland are all now led by parties and First Ministers who want out of this terrible Union.

And on top of all the good news for Scotland, today is Europe Day! Ready to welcome Scotland back into the EU. #independence is normal.

I hope the electorate that voted in Jackie Baillie make sure that as a priority she investigates why radioactive emissions at Coulport and Faslane have more than doubled over the last 5 years. How safe are they with the ageing Trident submarine fleet spewing out this contamination? Cancer anyone?

This should be pointed out to every unionist commentator. 👇👇👇

SNP return more SNP MSPs than the combined number of Unionist MSPs, add the Greens then we have ourselves a super majority in fav of Scottish Independence, democracy must now be acknowledged by Westminster #ScottishIndependence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Congratulations to @snp.org and @scottishgreens.org on very successful election results 👏🏼 I look forward to seeing you work together, work with Wales and NI, to achieve 4 Independent Nations. It must be achieved BEFORE the next General Election, urgent action is needed.

From facebook. If we had the same voting system as Westminster we would have 60 SNP 4 tories 4 Lib Dem 2 labour 2 greens. So, when Unionists start talking about majorities it's to muddy the waters. Look at the numbers above and tell me that's not a mandate for a referendum.

The final results are in. It's a pro-independence majority of 73. That's the largest number of pro-independence MSPs ever elected to the Scottish Parliament.

SNP have won a historic 5th term & a Scottish independence majority. Plaid Cymru has won in Wales. Sinn Féin lead the Northern Irish government & are calling for an Irish unity referendum. The Celtic Exit from the UK is gathering pace & the UK is living on borrowed time. The clock is ticking....

Honest Guardian article- "With Labour enduring its worst result since devolution in 1999, this puts the Scottish parliament in the unprecedented position of having two parties in joint second place, adding to Labour’s humiliation." www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Great result today

I think scotland has finally woke up to. the MSM WM..BBC.."Etc." their lies don't work like they used to, and never will again we grow stronger Regardless of what they throw at us... Scotland has it's eyes on the prize

Heard Ponsonby say earlier that the SNP will have won with a bigger share of the vote than the Tories had when they had the EU referendum so if that was considered a mandate for Brexit how come today's result isn't considered a mandate for indyref2. #ScottishIndependence

Thank you to everyone who voted for the SNP and the Greens despite the propaganda campaign waged against them by the whole of a biased, ultra unionist media. Well done for ignoring them and voting for Scotland’s bright future as an independent nation in Europe.

Elon Musk's no-show for a French judicial summons did not slow the inquiry. Paris prosecutor's office confirmed on Thursday, May 7, that it had opened a criminal investigation on May 6 into the parent company of the social network X and its owner, Musk. www.lemonde.fr/en/pixels/ar...

Sarwar a few hours ago be like. 'This election isn't about Starmer, it's about "Stopping the SNP".' Sarwar now - Starmer's to blame, not me. Never me! I will not resign, but he must! I was correct in February & I am correct now. Can't even win his Constituency but relies on a secondary route!

Oh dear, England's scum has floated to the top and Farage is acting like PM in the waiting. Take us away from this pile of shite, please Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I do wonder whether Christopher Harborne (aka Chakrit Sakunkrit) is the only person to have secretly gifted an eye-wateringly enormous sum of money to Nigel Farage shortly before he changed his mind about running for office…

Zack Polanski, "The Labour party are not a left wing party" "Keir Starmer echoed the words of Enoch Powell" "We've seen in Shabana Mahmood anti-migrant rhetoric" "I think a left wing government would look at how much communities are suffering right now and would work to end rip off Britain"

Anyone still questioning why Farage's Reform did so well? The majority of the British public have no idea how politics work in this country, they listen to our press and its lies and believe every word. If there is to be real change we have to take on our media.

The Scottish people have spoken … and now Westminster will ignore our voice A pro-independence majority will be elected once again in the Scottish Parliament. And once again, London will deny a referendum This is a democratic outrage and it must be resisted My @heraldscotland.bsky.social column

🥳 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 SNP WIN! Congratulations to Stephen Flynn, elected in Aberdeen Deeside & North Kincardine. Another SNP voice on Scotland’s side.

Anas Sarwar has effectively conceded defeat with only 7 constituencies declared. The question is will Labour actually listen to the voters this time and pivot away from über-Unionism, sucking up to corporate donors and pandering to Reform, or will it revert to its entitled old habits.

This is HUGE! @snp.org has won Shetland for the first time!!

MEGA (Make England Great Again) is rising and it should frighten us all. From Farage Camps to Local Election results everything is going Reform's angry way and Britain's decent majority need to step up now. Inaction is no longer an option. Me for @noosphere.app www.noosphere.app/farage-camps...

To every SNP activist who has knocked doors, delivered leaflets, made calls, shared social media posts, put up posters, staffed stalls, and kept going through every hill, rain shower and late night: thank you. Our movement is powered by people who believe Scotland can be better.

Do you like them? Scotland

The polls are now closed. In every corner of Scotland, we have run a positive, ambitious campaign, focused entirely on the priorities of the people of Scotland. To everyone who voted, volunteered, and put so much hard work into this campaign - thank you. 💛
