I really cannot understand the “logic” of SNP1/SNP2.

21st century McCarthyism - are you or gave you ever been a member of the Democratic Party. This is what it looks like to us, over here!

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

@nationwidefdtn.bsky.social I have to say, having been online and on the phone for over two hours, that your “customer service” reeks! And this was for something YOU wanted, not us - from 3 names on account to only 2? My wife is still hanging on to the phone. Ever thought about employing staff?

@bbcscotlandnewsnot.bsky.social Is this true? Have you been notified? If it is true when did you broadcast the fact? If this had been the SNP…….!

"Billionaires own far too many of our politicians."

Vote Green, which doesn't take bribes from fossil-fuel, arms, nor healthcare-for-profit industries. (Nor from the pro-genocide lobby.)

I have being saying this for years.
We need to unite for our country, Not just for one party.
The unionist threat is threefold now with Liebour, Tories & now Reform. With the might of the bias British media behind them, The English media will use it to conquer & divide us, as they have done before.

It has always been “unfair” but politically it is a timebomb. Whitelaw told Thatcher not to touch the issue with a bargepole - then she came up with the poll tax! That went well, especially in Scotland.

It is fairly obvious that over the past week BBC Scotland has increased its anti-Independence, anti SNP agenda prior to the May elections. Although it is easier to boycott BBC Scotland current affairs altogether it is better not to, BUT respond to any calculated slants in their narrative.

The clue is in the name! Rather obvious!

"We produce oil but have no refinery. We produce electricity but make no money from it. We have ports but cannot trade from them. Would it be because we let another country dictate the rules? Time for Independence."

Can’t think of a better three word tag line for the Holyrood and Westminster elections -
“Independence or Fascism”

“Tories call for rethink of Parliament revamp”. They were warned years ago when Tories were in power. Sheer hypocrisy.

The team has been let down by the management. Townsend should have moved on after the last World Cup. IMHO, of course!

If this is not proof that the SNP Govt works then I don’t know what is - but it depends, of course, on what your values are.
