Scotland DIDN'T vote for Brexit.

Nobody cared, we got it anyway.

Scottish Independence please.

There’s a spring in the step of a lot of Scottish independence supporters this morning. 😁 #NotMyKing

πŸ•―οΈ Tonight, we remember all the women and children who have died because of domestic abuse.

We must all work together to help eradicate it from society.

Men especially must lend their voices and call out abusive behaviours wherever they see them. #ForThemAll

To Farage:

Like I said, you’re a GERS fan. Don’t worry though, I won’t waste any more of your time as I knew from the start it was pointless talking to you. Goodbye

There is no struggling with reality here. I suspect you are a GERS fan so I’m sure you will be aware of all the anomalies and problems within that report without them being spelt out for you.

Given 12bn! That’s a laugh. I think you’re the one talking down Scotland with that kind of language. Balancing a budget in an environment where everyone is opposing you is an almighty achievement. Maybe you should try it sometime rather than just criticising them.

The point is that the Scottish government can only work within the parameters dictated to them by WM and they balance the budget every year. They also have taken the political decision to look after the population within those parameters rather than just the wealthy donors which is how WM operates

You can dispute the figures all you like but the CBI still described Scotland’s natural resources as the UK’s golden ticket to growth

By 2030 energy generation in Scotland will generate 2 trillion pounds for the uk economy so perhaps the uk government could dip into that that if you want to play that game.

Scotland legally has to balance the budget that is deemed appropriate by the uk government and Barnet Consequentals so there is no shortfall

Utterly sickening, why anyone in Scotland thinks this is best for Scotland needs some urgent cognitive intervention. This #DisunitedFakeKingdom must come to an end, #ScottishIndependence is ESSENTIAL

πŸ₯ Our budget will deliver Β£2 billion more for Scotland's NHS - taking funding to a record Β£21 billion.

πŸ“£ @ShonaRobison: β€œWhile the UK Gov't froze all income tax thresholds, in Scotland, the basic and intermediate rate thresholds will increase this year by 3.5%.

This means the majority of taxpayers in Scotland will continue to pay less income tax than in the rest of the UK.”

πŸ“£ Eradicating child poverty is the Scottish Government's top priority.

πŸ₯€ But when Labour came into power in Westminster, they kept the brutal two-child cap.

🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Our budget will end it in Scotland, lifting over 15,000 Scottish children out of poverty.

This SNP government is ending the 2-child cap and in doing so we will lift over 15,000 Scottish children out of poverty.

Depending on co-operation from the labour government we will make payments from 2026.
