The Welsh Labour Govt is planning to include glass in its deposit return scheme. Yes, the same glass the UK Govt vetoed from the Scottish deposit return scheme using the UK Internal Market Act. How is it that Wales is allowed to include glass but not Scotland? 👇

We should be hearing lots of MSPs doing this kind of thing. It will help counter the Scot Gov bad stuff coming from MSM

So well put. As a Scot I don’t buy the ‘Great hero Churchill ‘ nonsense. He sent tanks into Glasgow. George won’t be invited back on Question Time any time soon.

An #SNP1SGP2 vote in May could be a triple whammy. It has the potential to . . .
1) Maximise pro-Indy seats
2) Reduce Unionist MSPs
3) Prevent Reform winning enough seats to be the official opposition.
We've got just 8 weeks to get that information out to voters. #Scotland #Holyrood26

David Lammy the supposed Deputy Prime Minister was on radio claiming that Cyprus is a member of NATO. Cyprus is not a member of NATO.

If it wasn’t for the fact that we need to maximise the independence vote I would not touch Greer with a barge pole!

Between March Madness and the World Figure Skating Championships, mid-to-late march is going to be an absolutely wild sports time.

I think the party is obligated to say both votes SNP. It’s up to us the get the message out I’m afraid.

Priority Scotland - Indy PosterBoy Labour, Tories, Liberal Democrats and Reform UK are all parties whose priority is England. For the SNP and Scottish Greens Scotland is their priority.

Want a more humane immigration policy? Vote indy.
Want to be free of illegal wars? Vote indy.
Want to dump child poverty? Vote indy.
Want to protect and improve the NHS? Vote indy.
And the best way to do that is vote SNP1/SG2 in May 2026 #Scotland #Holyrood26 indyposterboy.scot/priority-sco...

If you look at Radio Jammor he is suggesting that it should be SNP1 & Green 2 in all areas,with only 2 exceptions.

Good article laying out a compelling argument for SNP 1 Scottish Green 2.
Two points to consider:
1. The General Election proved SNP first past the post seats are not the certainty they once were. Should polls waver SNP voters could/will take the cautious line and give the SNP the list vote.

I was going to suggest looking at the Profs page and also the Wee Ginger Dug is my go to for up to date info

I’ve just filled in a questionnaire for SNP and in the comments I have asked if they could be more forceful in their rebuttal of all the lies out there.

Thank you. Think I’ve got it now! My concern is that good Indy people are promoting SNP1 and 2

28.02.2026 20:01 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0

Sorry, I must be out of date but I thought in places where SNP are unlikely to get a constituency seat that it might work but I confess that I can’t really get my head round the system.

I’m very glad to say that she was voted off ‘Strictly’ first!

I feel like a broken record but SNP 1 and 2 does not work everywhere.

I don’t think the point is gratitude but more about awareness so that a tiny minority stop whining.

They will be getting a good few list votes in Scotland I believe

I need to point out again that in some areas both votes SNP is a waste of the list vote. I will be voting SNP 1 and Green 2 in my area to maximise my independence vote

Powers Less - Indy PosterBoy Did you know that Westminster doesn't permit the Scottish Government any power over Broadcasting, Constitution, Defence & Security, Employment, Energy,

Frankly it is *astonishing* in how many areas Scotland outperforms England when you look at how Holyrood is hamstrung by Westminster's retention of key powers. Scotland needs those powers, and to regain them it needs to regain its independence. #Scotland #Holyrood26
