I believe that it is now the settled will of the Scottish people that Scotland become an independent nation again. Polls will fluctuate, as they always do, and our old folk will struggle with change, as they also always do, but mark my words, independence is coming.

Sixteen years ago yesterday my oldest boy was born. Diagnosed shortly afterwards with a complicated, inherited condition he lives his life with more difficulties than most of us could ever imagine. Today's message is simple, don't complain, don't be bitter and be grateful ♥️

@chris_salt @sajidjavid @BorisJohnson @CMO_England Just another nail in the coffin of the idea that the UK gov follow scientific advice. Not only do they no longer follow it but they seem to be actively suppressing it. To date I'm no fan of the JCVI but their members must now be seriously wondering what purpose they serve.

So, let me get this right. If you're 16 or 17 you can get long covid so need to be vaccinated. If, on the other hand, you happen to be 15 you won't get long covid so don't need a jag. Honest to God, who are they trying to kid? 🤔🙄

@Sandiescot44 I was born and raised in Inverclyde and there are diehard Labour voters who will never be able to bring themselves to vote SNP but who will vote for an Independent Scotland. Seems nuts but it's just the way it is.

Speculation amidst plans to allow three household mixing and a five day break across the UK this Christmas. Scots are behind you @NicolaSturgeon now is not the time to ease restrictions. No travelling from high to low risk areas in particular.

@Sandyboots2020 What makes me really angry about this headline is the implication that parents are to blame. You really couldn't make this shit up if you tried. It's the Government's fault, nobody else 😡

A couple of years post Brexit and we're almost at the point when we'll be heating water or cooking our meals on an open fire in the garden. People are going to die needlessly this winter and it's down entirely to the UK government.

Just back from Inverness where I had the pleasure of listening to an interview given by Gareth Wardell (aka Grouse Beater) An enlightening 90 minutes which sadly went all too quickly. A big thanks to @Indyref25 for organizing and to @grouse_beater for his time and words.

Fellow Scots, new and old, enough of this madness and being told what we don't need by privileged English politicians. It's time for Scotland to stand tall and take her place again as an independent nation. #ScottishIndependence #democracy

I have no axe to grind against Humza Yousaf, quite the opposite and I have a lot of respect for him. However, are the comments made by Kate Forbes offensive enough to allow him to inherit the leadership by default? Careful, cool headed consideration required by SNP members.

This is a reassuring read and a trend I would expect to continue. However I also believe the days of an SNP hegemony are drawing to a close. To protect Scotland we must keep pro indy parties in power but the days of single party dominance may be over.

@thoughtland Disappointing Pat. You're usually a man of greater vision and such cynicism doesn't suit you. You might not support her but she's a Scottish patriot nonetheless and with considerable more backbone than many others.

One of the last Scottish coins to be minted 😢. What a sad chapter in our history the act of Union was. Individuals who voted their own country out of existence. May they rot in hell and history be reversed 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

As a provision of the Union of 1707, most Scottish silver coins were melted down and recoined into British coins. This recoinage was carried out at the Edinburgh mint from 1707 to 1709, it was overseen by Isaac Newton. #Numismatics #ScottishHistory #Royal #Stuarts #History #Coins

Yep. I might have bought that line in the past but not anymore. Rather than "giving us" indy in 5 years I would predict we would be in exactly the same situation or worse. Worse probably.
