#ScottishIndependence
today I have joined The SNP. The MSM nonsense over the last few weeks & Red / Blue Tories make me more determined than ever to gain Independence for our children.
#YouYesYet
Why are there no GERS equivalent figures for Wales, NI, English regions? Very simple they were designed to make it look like 🏴 is too poor to be independent. Political manipulation of the figures & the people. This is how WM work, time to stop believing the lies
#YouYesYet
When Labour had virtually every seat in 🏴 What did they do for us? Make the country better?Stand up for people in Scotland of course not.They robed us, got cushy jobs in WM & then the Lords.Paid woman less, hid reports on our oil, gave away our sea Don’t be conned again
#voteSNP
Prediction - Anyone in Scotland voting Labour on 4th July, in a years time you will not be shouting about it as you will not want people to know you were to blame. Don’t take the risk of voting Labour & removing Scotland’s voice
#voteSNP
or we will be ignored & marginalised
#bbcqt
set this program up deliberately tonight. Shame on them. Then massive cheer from unionist at end from an audience that is meant to represent Glasgow. It’s just a charade of a show
People in 🏴 need to understand the differences with UK- Free prescriptions, no tuition fees, free bus travel for Under 22’s, water owned by 🏴 higher child payment, lower tax 4 lower income family’s higher increase in benefits, lower council tax What else please add & retweet
Positive case for Independence- Whisky export was worth £4.7bn in 2018 that’s 21% of UK food & Drink exports. Gin was worth £490m 80% of UK gin exports. Salmon exports in 2019 worth £618m. Still think we are too poor? Lots of tax to WM would be Scottish

Last night in North Berwick hustings Douglas Alexander repeated the lie that
#GBenergy
will be publicly owned. At best it will be 25% publicly owned and cost over £8billion. It is an energy PFI deal.Labour gave us PFI the last time at a massive cost. Stop the lies it’s a con
I was asked about a hard border post Scottish Independence. Why is this an issue unless you live near the border (sure there is solution for that) fly same as going to France. Car just a simple border check, same on train they have them all over the world few minutes to journey
On BBC Scotland this morning Douglas Alexander said that Labour take no responsibility for PFI contracts that costs Scotland billions £’s despite implementing them. More lies.
#voteSNP
to keep Labour lies out of East Lothian and Scotland.
A vote for SNP is a vote for Independence. A vote for Labour is a vote for Brexit, nuclear weapons, loss of workers rights, no free school meals, tuition fees , no green fund, austerity etc. Don’t be conned by MSM they are just Tory light
#YouYesYet
#ScottishIndependence
facts 1-Scotland pays more for electricity than rest of the UK and we use more due to geography. 2-we produce 5times more just from renewables than we can use so we give it away for free and then get charged to get it back. Wonder why your electricity is so expensive - the union

#ScottishIndependenceASAP
Could we please see a unionist march to show support for the precious union. Of course not as nobody would show up not even the Red Tories. There is nothing positive about the union or you would all be shouting about it. Prove me wrong

Here's a clip from the Scottish Labour video that makes all kinds of wild claims about the SNP. This has to be one of the most ill-advised political videos we've ever seen. Did they get permission from BBC Scotland to use news clips featuring Sarah Smith and Glenn Campbell?
Will be even higher in April. I joined today and I am sure many more will do the same. Unionist need to understand that all the headline will not mean I less person supporting

Really important that

and
@JohnSwinney
develop a strategy to combat the unionist media. This is vital to success. Could mean banning BBC as example. Narrative people hear must change so they hear the truth.
Last night was my first

Great drive to convince others to vote YES

Everyone must understand this key point.Scotland has a fixed budget.Can’t borrow or print money so we always balance the books & still give better services, more social justice & compassion than WM.Just imagine if we had all the powers.

Watched the ganging up of everyone on

#ScottishIndependence
we have no democracy and that SNP have no support. Miss informed people commenting is pathetic
#YouYesYet
#indynow
Why is it that unionist’s can do anything but put up scare stories or be negative? What is your positive case for the union? If so good & you want people to move YES to NO make the case positively! Will it make us more equal, wealthier, happier, kids safer, secure, etc what?
Positive case for Independence - Scotland has a highly skilled workforce. 47% of 25-64year olds are uni, college or vocationally educated. 4% higher than UK and 15% above Europe. We have 3 unis in top 100 in the world. Still too stupid I don’t think so.

"Can I just ask you one simple question. Do you agree that the [Waspi] women should be paid compensation?"
Emily Thornberry: "I think that it needs to be considered very carefully"
At Hustings Douglas Alexander’s answer to reduce child poverty was to conduct a review which will take 2 years - shameful. Labour are choosing to keep children in poverty over bankers and the wealthy - shameful don’t vote for them.

Is the hysteria around Labour in 🏴 & it’s resurgence real or just media driven? Is the media managing to convince people to vote Labour? Rutherglen will be interesting.If they can’t win it with all MSM & every 🏴MP coming up then they are done again

Remember when unionists said that it was impossible for Boris to be PM. It is clear that Farage will be the leader of the Tories very soon and when Labour are kicked out in 5 years he will be PM. We need out

Am I right in thinking not one of the 10

#YouYesYet
#WhyNotScotland
As 🏴independence supporters we must provide the answers so that each voter can answer for themselves 3 key questions 1. Why do we need change 2. Will it be worth it 3. Can we do it. Only then will the vote YES. People are scared of change we must help them
#indyref2
#youyesyet
Very well done Stephen Flynn SNP MP and Leader at Westminster. In response to Anuska on News at Ten, he was clear, decisive and sure footed about his beliefs and his policies. Contrast this with the disrespectful tragedy that was Starmer v Sunak.
Please think about your vote in Rutherglen & Hamilton West. A vote for Labour is a vote for control from London, changing their mind to suit 🏴 voters. They lie to get your vote then ignore you, think of their past exploits.
#VoteSNP
#YouYesYet
🥀 We're living through a cost of Westminster crisis.
📢 Vote SNP on October 5th in Rutherglen and Hamilton West to elect an MP that will stand up and fight for the real action that we need.
There is a real need to start shouting about all the good
@theSNP
& Scotgov have done. People don’t know or take it for granted. Example - FREE prescriptions. Vote Labour lose them. Move to 🏴 pay for this. Protect this benefit

Never forget we 🏴 are not too wee or too poor to be independent. Remember what we have given the world in the past and what we offer in the future. Don’t let them brainwash you think about our capability then decide

The GERS figures say they include a geographical amount for oil & gas revenue but what effect would it have if all the revenue was Scottish? As it should be.
Can we believe anything said by
@Douglas4Moray
last week we must follow the orders from WM on 45p as it is the right policy. Today all change so surly anyone with integrity would still be urging 🏴 government to still make that cut. Or was he lying then or now?

Shout about the great things done by

If this was true why are England not up in arms? Why are they not demanding our Independence? Why not mentioned on BBC national news at lunchtime today? This is the ultimate lie from false data, poor data and guesswork. Share these numbers down south if you think they are true
The new GERS figures underline the huge benefits we all gain from being part of a strong United Kingdom.
Every single person in Scotland is £2,184 better off because of the Union.
unionist myth.What currency.Simple in time - Scottish pound.But how will it be set up, who will back it up etc? Well unless no other country in the world has ever set up a currency then of course it can be done.With our faultless credit rating and massive wealth there is no issue
Over the last few weeks I bet that
@theSNP
membership has increased more than the total number of Scottish Tory membership. Any Tory want to prove me wrong.
All done the very night before the Scottish Parliament opened. Just think about that. I would say this level of skulduggery is up there with Tony Blair taking us into the Iraq war based on a pack of lies, and this is who Keir Starmer and his new, new Labour Party is following. NO
Scottish independence makes The Guardian’s Polly Toynbee sad so she suggests London Labour dictate the terms of a referendum with a snap vote to cheat Scots again.
Positive case 4 Independence - 🏴has 61% of the UK's sea area, this is resource rich but also strategically important for UK & Europe. 62% of seafood landed in UK in 2019 was Scottish. In 2017 fishing was worth £1.02bn Resource rich, strategically important

#youyesyet
It is clear the few people who have joined

@PoliceScotland
should investigate this as fraud due to how sold
WASPI woman have been used as a political pawn by Labour. Clearly they don’t support woman - Glasgow fair pay dispute proves they can’t be trusted by woman in this election.
#voteSNP
Positive case for Independence - Scotland has 96% of UK oil & 63% of gas - 4% more than Norway who between 1975- 2020 earned £293 billion. Just imagine what we could do with this if we chose to do so, but they say we are too poor? Renewables have same scope

It’s amazing on Twitter that as soon as you make an argument that people can’t counter their only response is abuse, lies and personal attacks. In Scotland this is the normal response from those supporting the union as they have no arguments to promote staying part of UK
More and more people understanding Labour are now just Tories in Red. Don’t think they are the same as the Labour Party of the past if you do you will be disappointed.

Great morning in North Berwick talking to people who have already
