@blairibee @r_stwrt_ @MaxCryptic5 Even if the SNP got 107,808 votes on the regional list in NE this time (their total constituency votes), they still wouldn’t have won a single list seat.

If those list votes had gone to another Indy party, that would have bagged another 3 seats for Indy.

@SuzJamieson @robertreidALBA @ColonyScotland Unsurprisingly he has blocked me, but his screenshot of the homepage shows this 👇. You won't see these, becasue you have an active membership (and I know because I designed it). You can recruit people without being a member.

So for some reason, he is lying about being a member

[Calum Ansell @Calum_Ansell]

@SuzJamieson @robertreidALBA @ColonyScotland Hi Suz, sorry you're correct on the Profile page as opposed to the Dashboard. But just to confirm, mr Fandango forgot to crop out the stuff you won't see (as a member) his homepage screenshot ie. no Dashboard button and Become A Member prompts.

So he isn't a member. He's lying.

[Calum Ansell @Calum_Ansell]

@ColonyScotland That’s not what the ALBA Dashboard looks like if you are a member, that’s what it looks like when your membership is not active.

So no, you’re obviously not a member.

Humza 'shifting the Indy Campaign into 5th gear'...

🤦‍♂️ SNP Website: There will be a referendum 'after the COVID crisis is over'
🤦‍♂️ YES Website: No campaign events
🤦‍♂️ SNP's 'broadcasting platform' to 'ramp up indy campaigning' produced only ONE episode (389 days ago)

Was asked my view👇 on Ash Regan and her moves ... I would hope this shocks SNP to primarily push for independence and not administer Westminster cuts.

What a great tribute to my Mum. Thanks to @AlexSalmond & Team.

Over 1,000 years ago, Burghead in Moray was home to a "densely populated and important" Pictish fort. A 3D reconstruction based on@aberdeenuniexcavations has now offered "amazing insight" into how it may have looked @DigItScotland post turned into a Gif.

@AlexSalmond also explains what he would have done if he was still First Minister 👇

@andrewsp2009 Great work as usual, Andrew. I’ve been slowly working on a reconstruction of Threave during the siege by James II in the 15th Century. Amazing place, well worth a visit. #Threave #Galloway #Scotland

@bigbenn1e @AlexWTorrance @mckcol @AlbaParty ALBA don’t support Gender Self-ID = Unionist

ALBA want to replace 20 Unionist MSPs with 20 Nationalist MSPs = Unionist

ALBA want to cause trouble for Westmin = Unionist

ALBA calling for a Convention = Unionist

ALBA calling for indyref2 = Unionist

🤦‍♂️ Why bother, Alex?

James O'Brien breaks free from the curse of 'balance' to deliver this rant about Westminster's control over a second Scottish referendum...

[Robert Peston @Peston]

Here is the UK's economic challenge - some would say economic failure - in the OBR's stats. 1) Departmental budgets are rising to 43.4% of GDP in 2027/8, compared with 39.3% in 2019/20. But that reflects "higher debt interest and welfare spending raising cash spending, and...1/7

[Calum Ansell @Calum_Ansell]

If that was the case, where is the #indyref2 that was promised prior to Scotland being dragged out the EU?

The reality is that @theSNP accepted Westminster’s sovereignty over the Scottish people with nothing but a whimper.

And years later, still no plan. #EnoughIsEnough

[Sky News @SkyNews]

"It's not for Rishi Sunak to decide whether Scotland becomes independent or not."

Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon says Scottish democracy "will not be the prisoner of Rishi Sunak, or any Westminster prime minister".

Latest here: https://t.co/jUh3qMgZ1n

[Calum Ansell @Calum_Ansell]

Arguably denying Scotland’s right to self determination is more insulting but I’m sure the First Minister will settle for a phone call… #indyref2023 #scottishindependencenow

[Paul Brand @PaulBrandITV]

If Rishi Sunak wants to bring the country together, he could start by phoning the First Ministers of Scotland and Wales. Pretty astonishing that Liz Truss never spoke to them as PM and also arguably a bit insulting to the people of those nations.

[ALBA Party @AlbaParty]

We're all ready to go. We're just waiting for you. Time to recall Holyrood and put forward the Scottish Independence Referendum Bill immediately...

Now is not the time to 'just wait'. The Scottish Govt must act now to fulfil its promise made at multiple elections:

👉 Recall the Scottish Parliament
👉 Present the Scottish Independence Referendum Bill
👉Give Scots the right to choose a better future
