Making the Aberdeen South by-election single issue - oil - is letting the SNP off the hook. This is a chance to highlight the *many* ways they have presided over the decline of a once remarkable city and the quality of life within it.
🚨Scandalous National Party! 👉Enabling of Magpie the stealer? 👉Protection of paedophile Linden? 👉Indy ringfenced money spent? Yet these 🤡🤡 priority is going off on a World Cup jolly while the Parliament isn't even in recess! SNP: Stronger For Themselves!
More Everyday SNP Incompetence
The Herald reports that the bill for papering over the cracks of the notorious landslip-prone 'Rest and Be Thankful' road in Argyll has reached £45 million - since 2013
Several SNP ministers are responsible for this farce

It’s madness that we are importing expensive oil & gas when we have billions of barrels lying untapped.
I’m urging voters in Aberdeen South to back me on June 18 to send a message to the SNP and Labour.
@GeorgeFoulkes Absolutely. Stormont was shut for 3 years and nobody noticed. The bins, got emptied, the potholes got fixed, the dead got buried etc.
Close Holyrood. It has failed Scotland.
John Swinney in 2001 on Henry McLeish £9,000 expenses scandal:
"You have got to be able to trust the First Minister."
Once it escalated to £36k+ Swinney said:
"People around Scotland will be staggered by the amount of money that is involved.
For the good of the Scottish parliament as a whole and the office of first minister, Mr McLeish should now resign his position."
John Swinney in 2026 on the SNP's £660,000 fundraising scandal:
"Nothing to see here, folks."
"In October that year Colin Beattie, the party’s LUDICROUS TREASURER, assured members that the referendum appeal fund “has a current balance of £593,501” and that the party “can fully deploy those funds instantaneously"
Surely party members have the right to know what their money has been spend on, and Murrell isn't the only one who should be in the jail.
Would the LUDICROUS TREASURER have retained his seat if all this jiggery-pokery was known before the election?

He says people know what they’re doing when they donate to the SNP.
Fair enough, so why did the SNP specifically ask for donations for a second independence referendum to Yes . scot?
Keep digging Swinney, you’re doing as well as Sturgeon is 😂
A complete breakdown in trust and confidence of the Scottish Legal system.
How was this scandal allowed to happen?
A proper Inquiry must take place to find the truth. It’s not going to come from the Scottish Parliament 🫣🙃🧐
Too many questions remain unanswered.
Just a week ago Alyn Smith was still saying the £600,000 hadn't gone missing and described it again as 'ring-fenced'.
When was the decision made to spend the money on ongoing SNP activities and stop 'ring-fencing' it and who made that decision?
Tax, tax and more tax!!
Then like Sturgeon and Sarwar, when they leave Holyrood, the first thing they'll do is set up a Ltd company, and perhaps move to England to avoid the income tax they introduced.
I despise SNP hypocrites.
John Swinney confirms The SNP are being investigated by HMRC about fraudulent VAT rebates. That would mean that the public could now also be the victims of SNP fraud… oof.
BREAKING: Police Scotland are investigating whistleblower claims that a fake company received payments for SNP ‘office refurbishment’ (via @Daily_Record) https://t.co/agzCRWwfAL
The party that promised openness and transparency has ended up in court for failing to comply with freedom of information rulings.
You couldn't make it up.
un be fcuking lievable !The derided #DottyBain has slunk away and no wonder.The handling of this scandal , not charging Sturgeon ,giving Swinney a secret heads up ,trial delayed till after the election , Murrell plea bargain ,is muckier than the bookies toilet in Trainspotting
Looking fwd to 1st time Swinney or Gilruth appear before Committee arguing that eg £10m grant to local authorities ring fenced for childcare can only be spent on childcare & not the general objects of the local authority contrary to the new SNP definition of ring fencing.
When even Sturgeon’s former aides are demanding an SNP scandal probe, you know this is bigger than one guilty plea.
The rot didn’t appear overnight. It was tolerated for years.
