I want to live in a Scotland where no child grows up in poverty.

Child poverty is falling in Scotland, because we’re choosing to act.

But only with the powers of independence, we can transform our society and end child poverty for good.

Here’s the truth about Britain’s immigration hysteria: Starmer and co have whipped it up to get cheap votes | Nesrine Malik He is part of a political establishment that is fuelling a crisis way beyond the point that they can ever be seen to solve it. It’s a cynical, idiotic doom loop, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

Every word of this.

EXCLUSIVE: The First Minister has said that he is looking at a 'whole range of measures' to take against Israel amid its genocide in Gaza, in an interview with The National

UK road safety push could see mandatory eye tests for older drivers Ministers also considering lowering drink-drive limit among measures to reduce road deaths and injuries

Well done to The SNP 👏

"the drink-drive limit in England and Wales could be cut from 35 micrograms of alcohol a 100ml of breath to 22 micrograms.

This figure would be in line with Scotland, which cut its drink-drive limit in 2014"

#Scottishindependence

Back in the 70s/80s/90s 20 of the most deprived areas in the UK used to be in Scotland. Now with thanks to the measures taken by @snp.org not one Scottish town or city does not appear on this shameful list.

Labour and the Lobbyists.

The closer Labour got to power, the closer the business lobby got to Labour to thwart laws, regulation; demand tax cuts, crony contracts.

The problem isn't confined to Labour, it afflicts all parties.

Need a public record and transcript of all business lobbying

I must have missed this headline on the BBC & STV, That's odd.

Pure evil Israel. We will never forget

Undated photos of Al Jazeera staffers Ismail Al-Ghoul and Rami Al-Rifi in their press vests, both killed by Israeli forces.

A group of journalists from Al Jazeera carry the shrouded body of their dead colleague on a stretcher.

They couldn’t silence their stories.

So they just killed them.

Israel never comes back from this.

I'm an SNP MP. This is why we abstained on proscribing Palestine Action SO, the UK Government got its way. Palestine Action is now proscribed and is officially a terrorist organisation ...

The SNP cited Cooper packaging the Palestinian Action ban with the Maniacs Murder Cult and the Russian Imperial Movement as the reason for the abstention.

Is Farage going to win the hot seat in Downing Street mainly on the boat ticket?🤔
It looks like it atm.
He just needs the majority in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 to do it .
If 5 million Scots don’t vote for him we,ll still get him regardless.
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿,s best way to escape fascism is with #Scottishindependence

People in Scotland are best equipped to decide what kind of country we want - not Westminster politicians.

Just look at the disaster of Brexit, austerity and soaring energy costs under both Tory and Labour governments.

The real change we need is independence. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Worse decision modern Scotland ever made #BetterTogether

Now is the time #ScottishIndependence

'We are sovereign': The people’s constitution that could see an independent Scotland Activists in Scotland have set up a website for the public to be involved in writing the country's draft constitution for an independent nation and…

Another initiative - People’s Constitution, to gain Scottish independence, like Salvo and Liberation Scotland.

But to succeed, do these groups need the kind of support SNP currently has?

What will it take to stir folk to back independence initiatives? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Nicola Sturgeon denies 'conspiracy to destroy' Alex Salmond In a fresh extract from her memoir Sturgeon describes the breakdown of her relationship with her late mentor.

The people who peddle this absurd conspiracy theory never tell us 'why'. Why every lever of the state would collude with so many women to bring down Alex. It must have been some massive reason to invest so much energy, resource & risk. But we never credibly hear why...

The key allegation: that he'd rather have had the SNP destroyed than see it succeed after rejecting him...is exactly how it felt at the time.

We will only get this if we talk to the undecided and those that do not normally vote.

When my girlfriend heard I was a Scottish nationalist she was shocked. Being from Germany that was understandable, not realising there are more than one type of nationalism.
