Another example of WM establishment having no boundaries on what they say or do to hold onto power over Scotland. We need to recognise this and be better at getting the positive messages on SNP Govt and the benefits of #Indy out there whenever we can. Our politicians have to play their part in that.
Folk in England are rightly concerned about the level of promotion the BBC gives Farage's Reform, and the probability that this will sway voters.
It's nonstop anti-SNP coverage from the BBC in Scotland - and has been for years. Yet despite this it is still by far the most popular party.
It's important to remember that, in addition to "reserved matters", Westminster retains 40% of Scottish tax revenue, returns 60% to Holyrood and then dictates how they use it.
For each £1 tax, WM keeps 40p, dictates how 49p is spent, leaving 11p to cover free prescriptions, bus passes, tuition etc.
Did you know that Westminster doesn't permit the Scottish Government any power over Broadcasting, Constitution, Defence & Security, Employment, Energy, Economic & Monetary Policy, Foreign Policy, Immigration, Telecoms or Trade & Industry? Independence would give us control of all of it.
Did you know that Westminster controls 74% of Scotland's revenue, 37% of its spending, and tightly limits Scotland's ability to borrow? Imagine what we could achieve if we controlled all of it as normal countries do.
Now watch as unionist campaigns, mostly funded by deep pockets of their party head offices in England, wind up criticism of ScotGov by attacking things that are actually controlled by *Westminster*. They are counting on your ignorance about what's devolved and what isn't. Don't let them fool you.

It would seem that consecutive governments have given water companies a "get out of jail free" card.
It's time we nationalised this, energy and railways again.

'Great Britain' is really just England and their ethnic cleansing base in Northem Ireland, Ulster.
Scotland and Wales are 100% irrelevant, in any decision making.
It's 2026.
What with the latest polls and reports, the mainstream media is doing it's best to steer voters to the unionist parties esp Labour.
Don't believe the hype. Get out and vote. For me it'll be...
👍 MAY 7TH 2026 👍

Independence is essential for our future generations.
Is this acceptable to you?
Also this "In Scotland, Anna and Dan - another of the Today's Babies families - will receive 11 mandatory visits from health visitors, more than double the five those in England get" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
As the Record today shamelessly distorts the figures on behalf of Anas, how despite 1 320 more referrals, Scotland’s Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services hit 90% target for fifth time in a row but in media silence

More than half of Scotland’s 73 constituencies are on a knife-edge putting an SNP majority in doubt, a new poll has suggested
EXCLUSIVE: The BBC’s 'hyping' of immigration issues and platforming of right-wing figures is damaging democracy through fuelling a false concept of far-right populism, experts have said
Scotland is close to becoming independent, Scottish First Minister John Swinney has said.

'If Scotland had control over its own immigration policy, we could put in place a system which would have human rights and justice at its heart rather than a plethora of conflicting rules that are a nightmare to navigate.'

The latest election strategy from Labour in Scotland is to, again, try to position themselves as somehow different to "down south".
They're the same party. Run by an NEC that has one Scottish rep (Jackie Baillie, not Sarwar). They're not on Scotland's side.

Spot on. Why doesn't Westminster just say 'Sure, you can have a vote on independence. And if you vote Yes but change your mind later you'll be welcome to rejoin.' Why is that so difficult for them?

What is it going to take for Scots to realise that we don’t have a say in U.K. elections? We’re numerically insignificant and we always get what the SE of England wants. Independence is normal!
Clear evidence Scotland needs to be out of the UK by 2029

In environments where vulnerability is mocked or dismissed, people learn to conceal the feeling. They may become fluent in productivity while losing touch with their inner weather.
Lobbying needs to be banned, Pro-Israel, Private Healthcare, Fossil Fuel, Water Companies...
If you take a penny you shouldn't just be fired.
You should go straight to jail.

'Support for independence is not formed in isolation from the cost of living, housing or public services. It is shaped by them – by the experience of rising costs, stretched services and limited room for change.'

Scotland has to contribute over £9 billion a year towards UK government debt as part of the UK.
Remember that when reading GERS!

I think this sums up what many people think: Scotland has improved enormously under the SNP, much more than England under the London parties in the same period. We need to protect that, as well as building for the future.

An accurate list of BBC Scotland calumny. On 7th May vote SNP 1, SGP 2, for maximum impact.
Sharing a timely reminder of how different things could be if a government in England didn't rule over energy policy in Scotland!
