Vote tactically to stop the SNP.
We removed 39 SNP MPs in 2024. We can remove SNP MSPs next month. Let's get it done.

SNP's Austin is confused again. Wishing for Irish reunification while supporting Scottish independence is inconsistent - one creates a larger political unit while the other breaks one apart. No wonder he's disabled replies to his tweet.

this is huge - who would vote for independence knowing it would result in all of your cash at bank being forcibly converted into a new Scottish currency and strict capital controls being enforced which would prevent you from moving money out of the country?

Astounding Sunday Times investigation reveals new scandal in SNP’s Socialist Scotland:
800 NHS, central government, council and quango workers whose jobs no longer exist but remain on the public payroll because of the SNP’s ‘no public-sector redundancy’ policy.
Estimated cost of paying people to do nothing: £27m a year.
One NHS Highland worker has been receiving a full salary and benefits for 17 years despite not having a specific job.
The health board refused to say what the worker had been doing for almost two decades and how much they had been paid.
Likely cost to the taxpayer is expected to be far higher with several public bodies refusing to disclose salaries for hundreds of the workers awaiting redeployment.
The SNP is there to serve its politicians. Period.
SNP leaders are there for themselves, not the Scottish people.

You moan when there is no investment….now you moan when there is.
I think it is quite clear that you lot just moan about anything and everything to the extent that you have zero clue about what you want, just as long as its ‘Scoatishy’ and in no way linked to Westminster.

The ignorance of this ‘blind’ strategy is truly dumbfounding. Playing Russian roulette with the money, savings, pensions and mortgages of hard working people! Simply an appalling, selfish answer to a sensible question!
Austin, you lost 39 MPs at the last UK election. Your party is going backwards.
Here's the SNP's Lara Bird saying that she's speaking on behalf of the people of Scotland. She's either arrogant or deluded. The SNP does not speak for the majority. Not even close.
🚪 The door is open — and we have to seize the opportunity.
🏴 At #SNP26, I spoke about taking Scotland’s case for independence straight to Westminster, challenging those who refuse to listen to the people of Scotland.
🗣️ “That’s not a risky thing to do. It’s a necessary thing to do.”

You're deluded, Austin. The SNP has lost MPs and MSPs in the most recent elections. Vote share is down. Swinney is a dud. The SNP cabinet are duds. Scots are tired of 20 years of failure. There is no progress. The SNP is going backwards.
We have turned a corner in our campaign for independence. It’s now more vital than ever that we continue that progress, put our shoulder to the wheel and deliver the independence we all deserve.
Join @theSNP today and join us on this exciting journey. snp.org/join

Photos of the delegates at the SNP conference yesterday were proof of the lie that Scottish independence is a young peoples movement. The audience was mainly white haired or hairless and barely able to keep awake.
Scottish business owners affected by SNP policy are perfectly entitled to use strong language and argue that franchising amounts to an attack on private enterprise. In a democracy, both the government and its critics get to make their case.
Scotland’s First Minister has told a bus company boss to watch his language after he branded him a dictator over plans to bring the country’s bus network under public control.

It seems that the SNP conference 2026 was a dismal affair. The party has lost MPs and MSPs in recent elections. John Swinney's speech fell flat.

REMINDER:
- at 2026 Scottish election, the SNP lost 6 MSPs, and their vote share went down
- at the 2024 General election, the SNP lost 39 MPs and was reduced to a rump
The Scottish nationalists are moving backwards. The people are not buying what they're selling.

'THE SNP are set to survey nearly 1.5 million Scots' - The National headline the day before their annual conference. As you watch this evolve, remember the last time they tried this trick.

Nobody who can count thought the triple lock would survive to 2050. The difference between a more gentle gradient of increases and a counterfactual (that was never going to happen) is not money pensioners will in any meaningful sense “lose”. John Swinney is nothing but a conman.
