The Scottish Parliament voted for Scotland to have the powers to hold an independence referendum.

Because Scotland’s future should be decided by the people of Scotland.

BBC UK reveals how Labour have copied the SNP https://t.co/u1qweGBqAf

[MSM Monitor @msm_monitor]

Two headlines on the BBC on the same day. One relates to the SNP Govt's attempt to cap the price of essential food items. The other relates to the UK Labour Govt's attempt to cap the price of essential food items.

Near identical aims, but completely opposite framing.

👀 Did someone say a supermarket price cap?

The Prime Minister called me tonight to extend his congratulations on @theSNP election victory. We discussed the cost of living issues faced by the public and the election of the largest number of MSPs committed to Scottish Independence. We agreed to meet next month for talks.

@heraldscotland If Scotland was an independent country you would be 100% correct, however as the SNP has zero control of 64% of its revenue then you are talking absolute mince.

Another day with no gas used in Scotland to generate electricity but all of our bills based on high cost gas. We can't sort this in the UK. We can only fix it by leaving.

Tony Benn’s 5 key questions:

“What power have you got?
Where did you get it from?
In whose interests do you exercise it?
To whom are you accountable?
How do we get rid of you?

And if you can’t get rid of the people who govern you, you don’t live in a democratic system.”

What does a political mandate for putting a major constitutional question to the electorate look like in the UK? https://t.co/IMDUOJsT37

Thank you to my excellent team and the many hardworking volunteers who were out in the constituency meeting voters and hearing their views during our positive 2026 campaign. It was a great experience even if the Dumfriesshire result didn't go our way. @theSNP #dumfriesshire 🩷

After nearly two decades in power, the SNP and First Minister John Swinney have secured another landslide victory at the Scottish election - a remarkable achievement in modern democratic politics.

You've helped to make history.

[John Swinney @JohnSwinney]

Tonight, the people of Scotland have emphatically renewed their trust in the SNP.

However you voted, I will be the First Minister for all of Scotland, and work every day to build a better future.

A re-elected SNP government will legislate for a national mobile phone ban in Scotland’s classrooms, putting clear rules in place to support learning.

Make it #BothVotesSNP tomorrow for a government that’s on your side.
