Promotional graphic for SNP Annual National Conference 2025 featuring a quote from John Swinney MSP on Scotland's political challenges and independence.

We’ve seen what Westminster chaos brings - it’s time to take control and build a fairer, more hopeful Scotland. The need for independence has never been greater. #SNP25

Graphic: Independence: A Fresh Start for Scotland.” The text lists six key points: fight the 2026 election on what independence can do for Scotland, win a Holyrood majority for a lawful referendum, deliver a democratic legal path back into the EU, launch a Scottish Constitutional Convention, build a cross-party civic campaign, and publish a shared independence plan and clear answers for voters. SNP and Scottish flag logos appear at the bottom, with a circular “YES” badge at the top right.

We’ll fight the 2026 election on what independence can do for Scotland - building the mandate, the movement and the plan to make it happen. #SNP25

We’re here to build a better future for the people who live here - an independent Scotland.

Fantastic energy at #SNP25 this morning and it’s great to meet members from up and down our beautiful country.

Starmer blaming #Brexit for tax rises may be accurate but when only 37% of a now disproportionately dead electorate voted for it almost 10 yrs ago, based on undeliverable lies, the questions are why should the rest of us stomach it & where is Labour’s plan to change that? archive.ph/2025.10.10-2...

Need this man and his gang UP from worstmonster asap,lets set it in motion Stephen,nothing they can do,65 other plundered colonies have gained independence,without a whimper from dahn saff! It's now or FUHRAGE and the national front criminal gang,TIME IS NOW,GET THE WORLD INVOLVED,they would rejoice

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Scotland does need independence but how do we get it? Asking WM permission to even have a vote will be met with a no as Starmer has repeatedly said. This is no union, this is a prison that Scotland needs to free itself from somehow.

Do not ever forget that the problems this country still face are down to 14yrs of neglect from the Tories.
14yrs of lying in your face.
14yrs of law breaking and diverting public funds to rich donors.
14yrs of undermining decency and respect.
Need I go on? I could but surely you see who fckd us over

Teesside’s freeport, initiated in 2021 under Rishi Sunak, has cost £560 million far exceeding the standard £25 million allocation (22 times the standard £25m).
90% profits go to the private sector.
This clearly shows the UK model of State aid post-Brexit is utterly corrupt.

Really privileged to meet Sid Khan today - a remarkable Scot who joined the Global Sumud Flotilla in solidarity with the people of Palestine.

His compassion and courage in standing up for peace and justice speak to who we are as a nation. 🇵🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

#Unabhängigkeit

The land of the free the home of the brave - my ass

If you want to create a docile, obedient nation, first attack the arts so you deskill children of critical thinking. Once you’ve done that the people can be moulded as their rulers please. Beware this barbarism. It’s a path to demagoguery and authoritarianism

Brexit anyone? An independent Scotland in the EU will have the same growth, productivity and wellbeing as these mid sized European nations 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 INDEPENDENCE

This is the change Scotland
wants and needs. INDEPENDENCE- Scotland has the right to choose

Scotland has enormous resources and huge potential, but we are being held back by Westminster governments that treat us like an afterthought.

It’s time for a fresh start. An independent Scotland.

Today I have published our latest paper on what it could look like: www.gov.scot/publications...

it’s decades of tired incompetent and corrupt Westminster govts (including Labour) since the 60’s that have shafted UK’s working people. We are on our knees & whilst the voters in England are seeking change thro’ ring wing policies in Scotland we have a bigger and better option: INDEPENDENCE 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Deposit Return Scheme. Recycling. Incredibly, Scotland was PREVENTED from doing this.

It's been a runaway success, in Ireland.

It's 2025.

Women against the Far Right Scotland We reject the far right’s racist lies about “protecting” women and girls. They are not defenders of women—they exploit violence against women to fuel hate and division. Standing up for women’s rights ...

And we will be when the universal credit benefit system is funded & run by London. Benefits were cut substantially two years ago & 59% of universal credit recipients are in work. The problem is: austerity, brexit, the continuation of austerity & £3trn is offshored by billionaires not in economy

Richard Murphy: How long until support for independence is made a terrorist offence? THERE are moments when I would dearly love to return to writing about the Scottish economy in more detail, exploring how it works and how it might…

“Scotland’s freedom to choose is at risk. Many in the country might be deemed to be terrorists before too long. Those who might enact such laws have already given you due warning. Now, what is to be done about it?”

Trey Reed Case Update: Kaepernick-Funded Autopsy Reveals It Wasn't Suicide An independent autopsy funded by Colin Kaepernick has cast doubt on the official ruling of Trey Reed's death as suicide, revealing new evidence that raises urgent questions.

Colin Karpernick paid for an independent autopsy of Trey Reed. I’m not seeing results about this on “major news sources” so be aware it’s still breaking news which can change, but this points to it not being a suicide. I hope his family gets justice!

He’s not a far right politician, progressive politicians (lib dem, SNP, Greens) aren’t wanted in the English MSM. They only promote Farage / Reform, Starmer/Labour and Badenoch (occasionally when they’re talking Farage) it’s a right wing coup d’etat

Scotland please understand the relevance of this, we DINT need this to happen to Scotland
