The Scottish people and our children have been secretly lied to, fleeced and screwed by Labour & tory WM governments for years.
Watch and learn how our children's birthright has been stolen to fund SE England. #indyref2

Anent to spurious accusations I have repeatedly misquoted Mrs Thatcher in Parliament, let me just expand on her position further. The full quote from Mrs Thatcher in “The Downing Street Years” is as follows and as stated,
“As a nation, they [Scotland] have an undoubted right to national self- determination; thus far they have exercised that right by joining and remaining in the Union. Should they determine on independence no English party or politician would stand in their way, however much we might regret their departure.” (p.624)
The final sentence is regularly omitted by certain commentators, but is an unequivocal recognition that it is a matter for the people of Scotland to decide.
This is supported by Mrs Thatchers comments on the principle of self-determination.
“I'm standing up for the right of self determination, I'm standing up for our territory. I'm standing up for our people. I'm standing up for international law. I'm standing up for all those territories - those small territories and peoples the world over”. (p.210)
And
“The principle of ' self-determination has become a fundamental component of international law, and is enshrined in the UN Charter.” (p.174)
These are all points I have made and will continue to make in defence of Scotland’s inalienable, internationally recognised and lawful human right to self-determination. My position is further supported in the expert legal opinion I obtained from esteemed Professor Robert McCorquodale, “it is for the people to decide and not the State”
The unavoidable fact is that it is not in the gift of any Westminster Government or UK Supreme court to impede, block or deny that right. It’s sadder still that the SNP leadership have long since given up making these arguments and are quite deliberately leading the movement in entirely the wrong direction. @AlbaParty will never lose sight of our central ambition for #ScottishIndependence. Nothing more, nothing less.

Those who were conned into voting No in 2014 should now realise what they have done & join #YesScots in the struggle to achieve Scottish freedom & democracy: https://t.co/LNjSx5LAY4
Labour formed a coalition with the Tories and the Lib-Dems in June 2012 and campaigned alongside the Tories to tell us how much Better Together we'd be run by Westminster. Nine Westminster Tory years later...
OOOPS! Fox News is running a clip about brave Israeli soldiers capturing a Palestinian in gray underpants, but the report accidentally includes a shot of the actor playing the Palestinian getting dressed afterwards!
@RishiSunak "Those who break the law should feel the full force of it"......
Except if they're Tories like Michelle Mone?
You always forget that bit don't you?
We don't though
Why do you think Scottish Government is not telling us more about Freeports, especially about Edinburgh? Why are they so secretive? Will Edinburgh not lose a lot of money and support for the Festival? Will the Scottish public benefit or will the rich just become more rich?
Leccy Theft
Scots are demanding a radical shake up of how we pay our energy bills. We 're typically paying over 50% more than people in London for electricity standing charges, called the 'Scottish surcharge' on energy.
£238.64 - Scotland : £156.26 - London. (Ofgem data)
It's a national shame that in an energy-rich nation like Scotland, 1 in 3 households are living in fuel poverty.
We can do so much better. It's time for Independence 🏴

This woman wants to be a candidate in my constituency - apparently she’s wants Scots to vote for her but she doesn’t trust us as far as she could throw us -
What a fantastic strategy to win votes - genius
"We just want to pee!"
"Ok, how about 3rd spaces?"
"No! We want to pee with women!"
"We just want a chance to win at sports!"
"Ok, how about dedicated categories just for you?"
"No! We want a chance to win against women!"
Bit of a storm brewing in the Sheffield Women’s Football League.
Teams refusing to play another side who are fielding a transgender woman on their side. Already been a serious injury.
Team in question not budging and wanting to defeat discrimination.
Thoughts?
Y'know something? I don't think politicians should be allowed to "no comment" questions from the media. I think it should be an automatic sacking offence. (Or banning from candidacy.) Representatives must be accountable. https://t.co/psxm72lRuC
I am not religious I am "the product" of a mixed marriage. Fortunately my parents married for love not religion & were two of the most tolerant people I have known. Hence this sickens me: https://t.co/NKztNhyxGs Her party have members of the Orange Lodge. Politics of the gutter!
