Let me see, it’s eye watering expensive, we don’t need it, it’s catastrophic if it goes wrong, it’s incredibly bad value for money, there is waste we don’t know what to do with and we don’t know how to demolish them at end of life. Did I miss something?
Well it was either keeping it short with big words or making it so long they’d never have made it to the end!
Watching BBC politics frame nuclear power as “pragmatic” while SNP opposition is labelled “ideological” is so telling. Pro-nuclear is ideology too. Framing one as common sense and the other as dogma isn’t neutrality — it’s anti SNP/pro unionist narrative shaping.
Scotland DIDN'T vote for Brexit.
Nobody cared, we got it anyway.
Scottish Independence please.
Poster pie chart highlighting how Scottish independence support increases to 59% if Scotland plans to abolish the Windsors as head of state.
There’s a spring in the step of a lot of Scottish independence supporters this morning. 😁 #NotMyKing
🕯️ Tonight, we remember all the women and children who have died because of domestic abuse.
We must all work together to help eradicate it from society.
Men especially must lend their voices and call out abusive behaviours wherever they see them. #ForThemAll
👏🏴 Delighted for Willie Ferguson and the SNP team in Stirling East on a by-election gain from Labour tonight.
To Farage:
‘You’re somebody who will exploit ANY situation for your own political ends’.
More like
‘for your own financial gains’.
The man’s not a politician, he’s only in it for the wealth and fame.

Like I said, you’re a GERS fan. Don’t worry though, I won’t waste any more of your time as I knew from the start it was pointless talking to you. Goodbye
There is no struggling with reality here. I suspect you are a GERS fan so I’m sure you will be aware of all the anomalies and problems within that report without them being spelt out for you.
Given 12bn! That’s a laugh. I think you’re the one talking down Scotland with that kind of language. Balancing a budget in an environment where everyone is opposing you is an almighty achievement. Maybe you should try it sometime rather than just criticising them.
The point is that the Scottish government can only work within the parameters dictated to them by WM and they balance the budget every year. They also have taken the political decision to look after the population within those parameters rather than just the wealthy donors which is how WM operates
You can dispute the figures all you like but the CBI still described Scotland’s natural resources as the UK’s golden ticket to growth
By 2030 energy generation in Scotland will generate 2 trillion pounds for the uk economy so perhaps the uk government could dip into that that if you want to play that game.
Scotland legally has to balance the budget that is deemed appropriate by the uk government and Barnet Consequentals so there is no shortfall
Yes I can but you don’t want to hear it!
Utterly sickening, why anyone in Scotland thinks this is best for Scotland needs some urgent cognitive intervention. This #DisunitedFakeKingdom must come to an end, #ScottishIndependence is ESSENTIAL
I welcome the £768 million that has been allocated for affordable homes by your SNP Government.
🏥 Our budget will deliver £2 billion more for Scotland's NHS - taking funding to a record £21 billion.
🩺 We’ll make it easier for people to access GP appointments, improve A&E, and ensure more Scots get the care they need in good time.

📣 @ShonaRobison: “While the UK Gov't froze all income tax thresholds, in Scotland, the basic and intermediate rate thresholds will increase this year by 3.5%.
This means the majority of taxpayers in Scotland will continue to pay less income tax than in the rest of the UK.”
📣 Eradicating child poverty is the Scottish Government's top priority.
🥀 But when Labour came into power in Westminster, they kept the brutal two-child cap.
🏴 Our budget will end it in Scotland, lifting over 15,000 Scottish children out of poverty.
❄️ Our Budget brings in a Winter Heating Payment next winter for pensioners, to fix Labour's mess.
💷 £100 for every pensioner household.
📈 £200-300 for those receiving Pension Credits, depending on age.
Raising tax thresholds by 3.5% will keep more money in people’s pockets.
This SNP government is ending the 2-child cap and in doing so we will lift over 15,000 Scottish children out of poverty.
Depending on co-operation from the labour government we will make payments from 2026.
