Letโ€™s not let the facts get in the way of Reform and Conservative propaganda on the ECHR. Itโ€™s pathetic and people are falling for it unfortunately.

Independence puts Scotlandโ€™s vast energy resources - and our future - back in Scotlandโ€™s hands.

Lower bills, a fairer society and a fresh start away from the Westminster chaos.

UNLAWFUL ARREST

This woman was arrested for holding a sign with โ€œI do not support the proscription of Palestine Actionโ€ on it, a totally lawful statement to make, even under the Labour governmentโ€™s absurd new laws proscribing the direct action group.

In 2021, in the Regional List:

40.3% vote for the SNP returned 2 seats out of 56

23.1% vote for the Blue Tories โ€œwonโ€ 24 seat out of 56

The SNP are currently projected to return ZERO List seats at HR26

If we can get 25% to vote for Greens (not SNP) in the List, itโ€™ll mean 80-90 Indy MSPs

Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.

Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

In the run-up to Scotland's 2026 general election the English-registered opposition parties - Labour, Tory and Libdem - will no doubt target 'wasteful' SNP ScotGov spending. *This* is how ScotGov 'wastes' our money. More of this waste, please. #SNP1Greens2

The Greens tend to focus on the list vote and the SNP should do well in the constituency vote given the split unionist party vote. I also think the Greens will attract voters on top of Indy supporters which will help.

Johnsonโ€™s cull of MPs prepared to tell the truth about Brexit consigned the Tories to the absurdity & irrelevance they currently enjoy. The mediaโ€™s pitiful complicity in & failure to explain this lets Farage move in to the vacated space despite embodying the stupidity & bigotry that did for them.

If Indy supporters vote SNP1 Green2 in 2026 we could end up with a SNP Government and the Greens as the largest opposition party and becoming the official opposition. Unionist parties would be decimated and Indyref2 could not be denied. This has to be the best strategy for 2026.

2. SNP might need a coalition to have a majority in 2026. But they don't want/need a big coalition partner(Party Politics).

As an Indy supporter, I want to decimate Unionist seats in Holyrood. If SNP voters gave the Scottish Greens their 1 million List votes, the Indy movement could have 90+ seats

The fact that Reform UK will be the third Party, should warm the hearts of unenlightened pensioners, thick racists and 'Rangers fans', all over Scotland.

Scotland IS this stupid.

Brexit was a HUGE Tax Avoidance scam.

The UK has ยฃtrillions salted-away, in over a dozen 'British Overseas Territories'.

HMRC is fully aware of them. The EU was going to be doing something about them.

If you don't want Scottish Independence, you're a Taxdodger or, hugely unenlightened.

Starmer Says Farageโ€™s โ€˜Racistโ€™ Policies Would Tear UK Apart Amping up attacks on his noisiest rival, Prime Minister Keir Starmer framed his political survival as his countryโ€™s best hope of defeating populism.

Why does NO English Politician, not even Nigel 'fagash fuhrer' Farage, want English Independence?

I'll tell you why, Independent England would go back to Covid-era levels of trading. Independent Scotland would be one of the Richest Countries in Europe.

That's why. Nothing to do with racism.

There is a clear trajectory showing majority support for Scottish independence. Even polls that artificially skew their survey samples towards No, now show a Yes majority. We must now start planning for #Indyref2 with or without Westminster consent.
