As a carer for my dad, the UK government gives me an "extra" £10 in December.
As a carer for my dad, the Scottish government honours me with £270 in December and sends me a letter to tell me how much I am appreciated.

The independence referendum doesn't belong to Nicola Sturgeon, the SNP, Scot Greens, Alba or the ISP; it belongs to the people of Scotland.

Tomorrow is dad's procedure at 11 am to remove the tumour from his bladder. I will be pacing the halls of the Vic in Kirkcaldy. I am going to have to get his arse out of bed by half 6 so he can eat beforehand.
Send my dad some love, please!
Six councils in Scotland Labour are joining with the Tories and 1 LibDem are doing the same, even though the SNP won the majority of seats in 6 out of 7. Can you now understand why Scotland reject all three of these parties. They don't speak for Scotland

I left my handbag at the McDonald's in Glenrothes today and didn't realise until I was about to board my bus back home. We went back to see if someone handed it in & sure enough they did with the cash still in my purse. Thanks young man. Honesty and integrity still exist.

trending at the same time might think we are all a bunch of perverts. 😳😂😂😂
Just to make if clear: Cressida Dick & Boris Johnson 😆
OMG!!!! I thought it would take longer, but I am an EU citizen again. I only sent my application off a week ago, but my passport for Éire Ireland & EU just came through the mail just now!
A report found Dido Harding’s test and trace system swallowed up “unimaginable” amounts of taxpayers’ money and made little difference on the progress of the pandemic.
If we go down the path that the UK Tories want to take us we will lose the baby boxes, tuition free uni, prescription drugs, £10 extra a week for child benefit, carers allowance supplement & our NHS in Scotland; just to name a few.

When you give families money to buy food and pay their bills they spend it locally and contribute to the economy. When you give bankers/CEOs bonuses, it goes in their bank accounts
If you are a unionist, I would love for you to give me one GOOD reason why Scotland, NI and Wales should stay in this corrupt union. Just one!
#DissolveTheUnion
Here is a first. I took my dog out for her run and someone attacked her and punched her in the face. He told me my dog needs to on her leash. She laid down and allowed him to do it because she isn't vicious. People suck, dogs rock
I moved to Scotland almost 7 years ago and I have done much homework on our budget, taxes and financial position within the ununtied kingdom. We are better off as an Indy country
#WhyNotScotland
Free at point of access in Scotland:
NHS
University
Prescriptions
School meals (only 16% don't qualify)
Baby boxes
Bus passes for +60 and under 22's.
The Scottish government also just added another £100 per month to families to mitigate more Tory austerity.
#WhyNotScotland
To all the unionists attacking me.
I lived in Canada during the 2014 referendum.
I was an outsider looking in and now that I am back in Scotland, it is clearer to me the biased of the UK media masquerading as Scottish.
They don't work for Scotland. Neither will WM.
I don't give a flying (insert F word here) what you think about Lorna Slater! The DRS didn't fail because of her. It was never allowed to launch because of the Tory UK gov and Scottish Tories.
I was told several times in the last couple of days that Scottish exports are 60% to the rest of the UK. I will accept that, does that mean we can't still export to the rest of the UK once we are independent? The only difference is the revenue would be Scotland's
Just had a conversation with my neighbour who says I know nothing about Scotland and was told that I have no right to be "plotting" to take us out the UK just because I moved back to my home country. Yes friends that was my only goal. 😉
Dad just collapsed and I have called 999, they said 10 minutes out. He is conscience and breathing thank goodness! I will let you all know.
Anyone who targets me for tweeting about this, I am confident you won't be looked at in a good light.
The same neighbour who doesn't like that I am an Indy supporter has called the council to complain about the work noise going on in my house being done by the COUNCIL!!!! I wish I could make the sh*t up!
I have a great idea. Why not teach our children the true history of the monarchy?
How they enslaved, pillaged and raped the countries they colonised?
Oh and keep your hands out of our education system.
I don't care who you are or who you support politically but joking about someone having a miscarriage or any other health or medical issue is completely wrong and utterly grotesque.
I am YES for Indy. I don't care if you are SNP, Green or Alba. If you don't realise that this is the time that we all need to be united together, than I don't know what else to tell you. This is the last chance before they strip off all our powers. Soar Alba!
#DissolveTheUnion
If you decide to follow me, do you read my bio? There are so many anti-vaxxers/maskers who follow me. I am a socialist who does want to break up the UK union and want independence for all 4 nations.
Money raised in Scotland from exports goes to the UK treasury.
Money raised from National Insurance goes to the UK treasury
Money raised from oil, gas and renewables goes to the UK treasury.
Vote to keep these funds in Scotland.
Today or tomorrow may be ma wee girl's final days. I will get more info in the morning. I thank all of you who have met her and have loved her over the years. I can't She is my beauty.
At 3:10 this afternoon Buster closed his eyes for the last time. He left this world with his dad by his side and people who loved him and two very compassionate veterinary professionals. Thanks for all the condolences and heart filled messages xxx
I have done a lot of reading about freeports. They are not what the government is trying to sell you.
The are essentially corporations taking over cities and regions to feed the capitalist greed. Your taxes don't go to the government.
Low wage jobs and no accountability.
The freeports at the Firth of Forth and the Cromarty Firth will secure tens of thousands of Scottish jobs and provide a huge economic boost.
We all benefit when our two governments work together to deliver for Scotland 🏴🇬🇧
If you want to show your patriotism, support political parties who strive to look after your country's poorest and vulnerable, not ones who put yachts, UK flags and WMD ahead of health and well being.
I would like to thank everyone for the outpouring of emotional support over these past few days. My son and Sandy are fine and the reason he hasn't been in contact is the most disgusting reason, that I won't get into right now. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! 💖
There is another comment and I forgot to take a screen grab of it and now I can't find it where someone says Scotland would lose the Barnett formula if we were independent.
Why would an indy country need the Barnett when we would raise our own taxes?
Who gave permission for the UK to launch missile strikes in Yemen?
Apparently the cabinet did and not the HoC, let alone the people who live here.
#NotInMyName
Over 24 hours later and still no word from my son. He hasn't even read the messages I sent him yet nor has his girlfriend. Didn't get much sleep last night. I am sick with worry.
I am sick about hearing bad news about the Scottish government. At least they are trying to do all they can to circumvent what the Tories are doing. Bring on a GE and bring on the
#Indyref2023
Something else struck me in the comments today.
Douglas Ross spends half his time in Edinburgh and half in London as an MSP and MP. The taxpayers are paying his monthly rent in both cities. How many days a week does he 'live' in each flat?
I had a wee freelance job at the beginning of the pandemic but the work dried up early last year.
I just got a call today that they would like to employ my services again. It doesn't conflict with my caring for my dad and it is work from home. I am so chuffed. 😊
It's disgraceful that taxpayers have been forced to pay the almost £11k bill for this SNP minister's holiday roaming charges.
This is just the latest example of the SNP's cavalier attitude to public money. Michael Matheson must pay this back immediately.
I am taking a wee weekend away from Twitter.
I need a mental health break and the abuse is running rampant on here.
I am fine and I will be back! 💙🏴
When Scottish independence is done, we still have to stand up for Wales and N Ireland. We need to keep fighting to get them out of Tory rule. We are not in this alone and neither should they be alone.
@rainie1410
All of the Scots who I have known commonly referred to themselves as 'The Scotch' and the Scots who I knew from Glasgow in particular always used that term.
If that term is incorrect, you might want to try telling that to Scottish people rather than English people.
I was born in Scotland and grew up in Canada. These two countries have so much in common. They are countries who welcome all. They share so many values. The UK government doesn't represent me.
More than 70% of our young people in Scotland support Indy and freedom of movement within the EU.
It is for the bairns. Vote for their future!
#ScottishIndependence2024
My dad's hearing broke. Called the Audiology department at Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy. New one being sent out to him today with a supply of batteries. Thank you to our SNHS💙🏴💙
I just received a confirmation email from the presiding officer in Scot Parl that they have received my email regarding Douglas Ross and his breach of the DPA.
I really hate locking my account, but I have experienced so much abuse the last couple of days trying to defend my amazing country. I am going back off grid for a day or two. ♥️😘
Thanks for the messages.
I have been off twitter completely for 3 or 4 weeks now. I've been really sick for a few months, but about a month ago I was knocked on my arse. I am feeling a bit better now especially now that my appetite is back. 💞🏴
🗣️'It's not going to change'
Lesley Riddoch appears on Jeremy Vine to explain why the idea of Scottish independence isn't going away - and has the host 'banging on the table' 👇
My original house cleaner started cleaning my house again yesterday. She was here for 4 hours. The only cleaning that was done is we polished off 3 bottles of wine and 1 lasagne. She is coming back on Friday 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I just had a breakdown and screamed at people letting fireworks off in the park right next to my house. I am sorry but I couldn't handle it. It isn't just for my dog; I think about people who have fought in wars and have PTSD.
I have been accused of being a racist, a bigot, and anti-English. I am none of those things. Mind you those accusation have been from pro-union Tories so I am okay with myself. 😘😘😘
Hey
@Douglas4Moray
What do you say about a Fife Tory councillor (where I live) sidestepping Scottish government lockdown in 2020 to travel to England just so he could go to a gym.
@Douglas4Moray
@NicolaSturgeon
You do realise that in Scotland all deaths that have traces of drugs in their systems are recorded in this category. Let us not also forget that legislation for this is reserved to WM, which Scot Gov has no control over
In Scotland in over the last year we have adopted journos like
