Team Dunfermline SNP at #SNP25.
Great to listen to Ivan McKee MSP and Stephen Boyd, director of @ipprscotland.bsky.social, at #SNP25 speak about a modern industrial strategy for Scotland and what public policy can do to maximise economic and social benefits from industrial development in Scotland.
12.10.2025 09:18 โ ๐ 6 ๐ 5 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0While gutted amendment A fell, the @snp.org now has its Holyrood strategy to win and obtain independence.
Honoured to have spoken in favour of the amendment and tried to get it passed.
Thanks to #SNP25 for having this debate on the partyโs strategy for independence.
Iโm standing to be your @snp.org NEC rep in Mid Scotland & Fife.
Scotland needs fresh energy and the courage to bring the wider independence movement together.
If you're going to #SNP25 Conference, vote Kieran MacNeil for NEC - let's reignite hope for independence.
I welcome this agreement between the SNP and BiS - a great step towards working with the wider independence movement.
We must bring all pro-independence parties and organisations together.
By working together, weโll make the case for an independent Scotland. ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ
Seizing a humanitarian flotilla in international waters is an act of state aggression and a breach of international law.
Israel must be held to account, and the UK government must act now to secure the release of the Scottish nationals kidnapped by Israeli forces.
For the record: this is not about attacking John Swinney or the resolution. His resolution lays a strong foundation, and the amendment builds on it.
It keeps the SNP at the heart of the independence movement while making sure every pro-independence vote counts.
2026 cannot be treated like 2011. The political landscape has changed drastically, and our strategy for independence has to change with it.
Hereโs why Iโm backing the Tweeddale amendment at SNP conference ๐
Good news from the latest stats: unemployment is falling in Scotland, and remains below the UK.
But Labourโs rise in employersโ national insurance still holds us back, making it harder for businesses to hire.
Itโs a tax on jobs and it must be reversed.
Iโm standing for NEC to make sure our members and activists are heard, branches are supported, and that independence stays at the heart of our movement.
With your support, we can build a stronger party - one focused on delivering independence.

Just landed from the US after a round of productive meetings, including with President Trump, pushing for a better deal for our Scotch Whisky industry and standing up for Scotland.
More on this at my press conference at 2:30pm.
Great to see First Minister @johnswinney.bsky.social in D.C., standing up for Scotland's interests and pushing for no tariffs on Scotch Whisky.
Scotch Whisky is one of Scotland's largest exports and accounts for thousands of jobs and contributes billions to Scotland's economy.
Good morning from Washington DC. I am here with Scotch Whisky Association to try to get the best deal for the industry.
Itโs about jobs, investment and fighting for whatโs best for Scotland. ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ ๐บ๐ธ
Large bold text reads โThese people agree that Scotlandโs future is for Scotlandโs people to decide.โ Below, handwritten-style text asks: โSo what changed?โ Grey torn-paper design background. SNP imprint along the bottom.
Labour, Tories and Liberal Democrats are all on record stating that Scotlandโs future should be Scotlandโs choice.
So hereโs the question every Scot deserves an answer to - whatโs changed?
It's your right to decide - sign the declaration. www.yes.scot/decide
๐ Peak fares are now scrapped!
๐ซ From today, all ScotRail customers will pay the same fare on their journeys no matter when they travel.

The Westminster system made people poorer with austerity and Brexit - and now itโs trying to distract from those failures by scapegoating people who have been through unimaginable hardship.
ย
It is pathetic, it is cowardly and I will have no part in it.
#RefugeesWelcome
The danger isn't immigration - it's the politics of fear and the hate covered as "concern."
Scotland is better off because of immigration. No lie will ever change that. ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ
"They're taking over."
"They're a threat to women."
"They're not like us."
Itโs the same lies on repeat. Every. Single. Time.
Immigrants aren't a problem to be solved. The real problems are caused by those scapegoating immigrants to hide their own failures.
The UK had the ability to return migrants to EU nations under agreements we signed as a member.
The same people now screaming about "floods" of people are the ones who pushed for Brexit and tore up our partnerships.
Their outrage is fake. They want hate and division.
๐งต Immigrants are not the problem.
The real issue are those exploiting fears - weaponising immigration under the guise of "protecting women" or "protecting their culture."
Immigration is being used as a political football yet again by those who are responsible for this mess.
Thanks to Scotlandโs @snp.org government, young people in Scotland are achieving more in their English and Maths exams.
Our education system is delivering for Scotland and narrowing the attainment gap for students across the country.
Thank you, John, for speaking up on this.
We must do more to end the famine and genocide happening in Gaza at the hands of Israel.
We need urgent action for peace and aid now.
Grateful to people in Lerwick for your questions and thoughts on Shetlandโs future, hosted by local SNP candidate Hannah Mary Goodlad.
The challenges and opportunities here are unique - and itโs vital we listen and empower communities to deliver the best future for the islands.
This is why the party's internal democracy is so important - so we can debate this openly and get feedback instead of attacking each other because we don't have the same opinion on how to get independence.
The focus should always be: independence, nothing less.
We will never break the system with one party ever again. We can, however, use the system to our advantage by voting for other independence parties on the list.
A pro-independence government is great, but having a pro-independence opposition as well keeps us on our toes.
We won't get independence because one party demanded both votes which handed seats to unionist parties. We'll get independence because the independence movement worked together.
What happened in 2011 was never supposed to happen, and it'll never happen again.
The resolution supported by the 43 branches across Scotland - including mine - recognised this: SNP in constituencies and pro-independence parties on the list. That's how we really build support for independence, not by ignoring the rest of the movement and saying "we know best."

That's why Both Votes SNP isn't just flawed, it's dangerous. It doesn't build the movement, it shuts others out.
It wastes pro-independence votes - which could've gone to other parties - and puts our parliament and independence at risk.
