We have that democratic right… but only if we agree with the SNP.., if the Nation has the audacity to vote against them, then they can be soundly ignored… right John?
People have a democratic right to shape their constitutional future, and it is not for the Prime Minister to take that 'off the table'.
I will make sure that the views and aspirations of people in Scotland are enacted.

Critical thinking is a participation sport.
Donations to the SNP increased in the week Peter Murrell admitted embezzling more than £400,000 of members’ cash, the party has said thenational.scot/news/261530…

Exactly! If the majority of Scots telling you, in a referendum, that they weren’t interested in independence didn’t stop you pushing for independence, why would the leadership of the party embezzling 400K from grassroots members stop you?

Independence is not a priority for the people of Scotland.
While Westminster is distracted by utter chaos, I will always focus on Scotland’s priorities.
My government will deliver swift and urgent action on the cost of living - capping food prices, lowering the cost of commuting and supporting first-time buyers.

@theSNP supporters often claim their nationalism targets Westminster, not the English. But in a thread with @gaelpict555, I was labelled English based on his (wrong) derivation of my surname. That's what being English in Scotland can feel like. @JohnSwinney

Hey @elonmusk do you still turn the system off, automatically, when you detect a crash is unavoidable (as per The Tesla Files) to manipulate the stats, or have you stopped doing that now?

Nothing says “lying politician” like blocking replies to your post 😂🤣😂
Certainly!
55% of Scots taxpayers will pay less tax than their UK counterparts.
From their taxes people here get free prescriptions, no tuition fees, lower council tax bills than elsewhere, no peak rail fares, free bus travel for the under 22s and over 60s & the list goes on.

"Trump never forgets"... and they say Americans don't understand irony.
🚨 HOLY CRAP! SecWar Pete Hegseth just dropped a truth nuke on NATO
“You don't have much of an ALLIANCE if you have countries that are not willing to STAND with you when you need them!”
NATO is officially on notice.
President Trump never forgets.

Yes, in fact the US is the only country to have called on NATOs collective protection after 9/11.
🚨BREAKING: TRUMP JUST PUT NATO ON NOTICE
President Trump has done what no U.S. leader has dared to do in decades — he has publicly questioned whether NATO would actually defend America if America were attacked.
And that question cuts straight through the illusion.
Yes, Article 5 was invoked after 9/11.
Europe did stand with the U.S. then. But that was a different world, a different political class, and a different moral reality.
Today, Europe is led by bureaucratic elites who hesitate, delay, moralize, and outsource their own defense — even as they lecture America.
Trump is not asking an academic question.
He is asking a hard-power question:
When American cities are on fire…
When U.S. bases are hit…
When America is under direct attack…
Will Brussels act — or will it hold an emergency meeting?
For decades the United States has paid the bill, carried the military weight, and defended countries that underinvested in their own survival.
Trump forced NATO to raise spending. Now he is asking the next logical question:
If America bleeds, who bleeds with us?
The possibility that the U.S. could walk away from NATO is no longer unthinkable. It is now openly on the table.
And if that happens, Europe will face the reality it has avoided for 80 years:
Defend yourself — or face a world where America is no longer obligated to save you.

What’re you talking about @elonmusk, in the US an HOA can fine you for your grass being too long or painting your front door a ‘non approved’ colour; sit down you fool.

Don’t be deflected by how much a billionaire pays, pay attention to the rate of tax, it’s way lower than you and I pay. #TaxWealthLikeWork.
I paid so much in taxes one year that it broke the IRS computer (actually). Too many digits. They had to update the software to get it processed.

We pay some of the highest bills due to the add ons to support green investment and to cover measures to help those in fuel poverty, which of those are you planning to cut in order to make bills cheaper?
Scotland and Norway had the same North Sea opportunity. Norway invested it. Westminster wasted ours.
Scotland makes more clean power than we use – yet we pay some of Europe’s highest bills.
Let’s change that with independence.
