So we're trapped in the UK. This isn't a Union of equals. This isn't a Union of consent. If Scotland has the right to self-determination, how does Scotland exercise that right? #Indyref2

An opinion poll released yesterday shows that the #SNP are now up to 60%. Also yesterday, Yoons tried to get #ResignSturgeon trending. The Yoons are hurting 😂😂. Sturgeon is the best political leader Britain has seen for a very long time.

@LizzieLabour Hi, I'm a nurse in Scotland. Thanks to the SNP, I have more of a disposable income after tax than my counterparts in Labour run Wales and Tory run England. We also have more hospital beds, nurses, junior doctors, and GPs per head of population thanks to the SNP. Best A&Es too.

That's me done. I've voted. If you agree with me, that's cool. If you don't agree with me, that's also cool. I'm not going to fall out with anyone over it. I'll get behind and support whichever candidate wins the #SNPLeadershipElection 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✌️

I have nothing against Ash Regan leaving the SNP for Alba. That's her decision, and I both respect and understand her decision. I do, however, think that whenever an elected politician leaves one political party for another, there should automatically be a by-election.

Unison are balloting members on their Political Fund Ballot, held every 10 yrs. I'm voting No because the Labour Party is the biggest benefactor of this fund. Labour is keeping the two child cap & keeping children in poverty. They're also in cahoots with private health companies.

I know some of my SNP pals won't agree with me, but I'm thinking that Ash Regan will be the candidate I'll be backing. And it's purely for Indy reasons. Her 50%+1 at an election plan for Indy has my support. As does collaboration between all pro-indy parties & organisations 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✌️.

@STVNews I'm English and I've lived in Scotland just shy of five years. In that time, I've not once experienced anti-English sentiment. That's not technically true, I've had the odd Unionist on twitter telling me to move back to England for supporting Indy. But offline, IRL, not once.

It's wonderful reading people's stories on the #NoToYes hashtag. I lived in England in 2014, and I rightly didn't get a vote, but I supported the Union back then. I've lived in Scotland for three years, and I'm now a member of the SNP. You can count on me for a yes vote #Indyref2

@MikeyTheBuddie I find it funny how I, an Englishman, get labelled a 'Scottish nationalist' for believing that Scotland should be a normal county. But I don't get labelled a 'nationalist' for believing that Kurdistan, Palestine, Taiwan, and Tibet should be normal countries.

@carolvorders What's the point in getting rid of the Tories to only replace them with a Tory tribute act? Sir Kid 'I don't care if I sound like a Tory' Starver will undoubtedly win the next GE. And then he'll be out again at the following GE. We'll be back at square one with no real change!

Labour have been saying that they will abolish the House of Lords for over a century, so it's no surprise that they're backtracking once again. This is yet another U-turn from Sir Kid Starver. The red Tories don't offer any real change from the status quo.

If Nicola Sturgeon is to announce her resignation, then that is a great shame. I can't think of a more professional and respectful political leader during the 21st century. But perhaps it is time to pass on the torch to a successor. The fight for #IndyRef2 continues!

@GrayInGlasgow For context. In the UK, £3.4Bn of Scotland's money is spent on military. The Irish military budget is €780Mn for 2020. I imagine an iScotland would require a military budget similar to that of Ireland's.

It's ridiculous how Labour can double their number of MPs with a 1.5% increase of the vote share. FPTP is an awful and broken system. This general election has demonstrated that Proportional Representation is required. It won't happen though.
