We produce more energy than we need, yet we pay sky-high bills. That’s unacceptable and we deserve better.
Scotland’s energy should work for people in Scotland, not Westminster.

A resignation that's taken a long time coming, given the deeply tawdry background? Does appear to be a running stream of such stuff in this party recently?
In a normal, independent nation this cost would be absorbed by the government, who would instruct the central bank to make the funds available for reconstruction.

Here ye go Scotland - next time around England’s built-in seat majority and FPTP could well drag us down into fascism.

Yes, we are well aware, you'd need to be deaf to not notice. Not just them though, Sky etc just as bad, and when the DO have anything, its only negative, never, ever report the positive.
I am faaaaaaar from the SNP's biggest fan, but anyone in Scotland looking at the huge, racist march in London today & not planning to vote SNP in 2026 needs to take a good hard look at where the UK is going. Tories, Labour & Reform are all right-wing parties chasing each other to the hard right. 😳😳
If this shit was happening in Scotland and we plastered Saltires everywhere, we would be called, now what was it Sunak called us, oh thats right, SNP Scottish Nationalist Extremists. But this is Engerland, and its "patriotism"

Douglas Alexander on #BBCSundayShow offers no way out of the 'voluntary union.' Asked by Martin Geissler he first said Swinney wasn't asking for #indyref2, then that we voted already in 2014. Scotland - you'll have had your democracy.
"A new YouGov poll indicates that 61 per cent of Britons now consider the UK's departure from the European Union to have been a failure"
It'll go higher.
So let me get this right: the British Government wants to raise taxes and spend more on "defence" so it can send fighter jets to defend genocidal Middle Eastern governments when they preemptively attack their neighbours, and those neighbours retaliate?
"Back in the early 1950s, Germans who lived through the Nazi era warned Chicago journalist Milton Mayer that they had “become used to being governed by surprise” and told him how each step toward Hitler’s eventual tyranny was incremental." www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...
A British government which insists that it will not consent to Scotland having a say on its own future is conceding the UK is not a union at all. It’s a prison. indyposterboy.scot/precious-uni...
In 2016 ScotGov prepared a much-respected 'Scotland's Place in Europe' doc, proposing a solution for Scotland remaining in the EU whilst rUk left. Westminster dismissed it immediately. Now that both NI & Gibraltar have special EU deals that proposal *must* be revisited. www.gov.scot/publications...
Fascism has marched into England!
As if Boris Johnson wasn't bad enough- now they would vote for a Farage government!
There's no "Better Together" that Scotland was promised.
Scotland's future is Independence 🏴

Child poverty has fallen in Scotland - whilst rising sharply in the UK.
Absolute child poverty in Scotland fell from 23% to 17% - the lowest figure in 30 years.
SNP Scottish Government policies are working to deliver on our top priority of eradicating child poverty.
Northern Scot and the Times go where BBC Scotland fear to tread. SNP government policies are good for local businesses! talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/03/23/b...
YouTube’s play button doing the lord’s work
Jawdropping.
You would expect this in a dictatorship, not the United States.
This country is unrecognizable.
So, essentially Scotland’s Remain vote. How ironic.
I loathed Thatcher, but even she didn't force people to shit & piss themselves in order to avoid taxing the rich.
"The measures could deny benefits for people who need some help washing themselves, preparing food or remembering to go to the toilet..."

Imagine deciding to force disabled people to sit in their own shit cos you don't want to increase taxes on the super-rich & calling yourself the Labour Party. I'd say shame on Starmer & the Labour MPs who enable him, but those soulless goons have no shame.
