@kaukabstewart@Daily_Record And where is all this extra money coming from?? Given the current Scottish budget deficit is now over £3.6 billion! Cuts will have to be made elsewhere to pay for it - like in health and education- which are already in a mess!! There is no money to pay for it!
@kaukabstewart@Daily_Record Is that right?? And what about those people/ families in work?The poor in work? Because there are just as many people struggling with the cost of living crisis who work but are not highly paid but don’t get any help. What’s this new Scottish Social security system got for them??
@NicolaSturgeon@SocSecScot But you continue to spend money you don’t have! current budget deficit £3.6 billion and increasing. And you should clarify that this and other payments are only for people who get certain DWP benefits. It is not universal. Hard working families get nothing from your government.
@MhairiHunter@NicolaSturgeon Half the working age population in Scotland don’t work.They claim UK DWP benefits. How is your government going to pay for that in an independent Scotland? How will you pay Universal Credit/Pensions to all those who are entitled? Given your current 3.6 billion budget deficit!
@NicolaSturgeon@SocSecScot I have a question for you. If your SNP government continues to spend money that you don’t have on a Scottish social security bill which continues to increase/top up UK benefits and more-where is the incentive to actually get a job? Why bother!When you’re better off not working.
@theSNP@NicolaSturgeon Well not everyone in Scotland voted for you or support the SNP. Your government is a disaster. You currently have a 3.6 billion deficit. And you think you can run an independent country?? Absolute joke!! You’d need to stop spending money you don’t have for a start!
@ScotNational Why would anyone vote for them?? Unbelievable!! You had the referendum- you had your democratic mandate - and lost. You can’t keep asking for another vote till you get the result you want!! Which is what you and the SNP are doing. You lost!! Accept it and move on.
@Ianblackford_MP Agree that’s part of the problem. However half the working age population in Scotland don’t work!! Get DWP benefits. Plus all the extra money from Scottish Government. They don’t pay tax or contribute anything. Why work when you’re just a well off on benefits!! Fact!!
@Ianblackford_MP @BorisJohnson You don’t speak for “everyone”
In Scotland. You didn’t get a majority at the last elections and have to rely on the support of another party. You do not have the right to stand up there and say everyone in Scotland wants independence and the SNP. Because we don’t!
@BBCScotlandNews There is no democratic case!You had your “once in a lifetime” referendum and lost. We said NO!!Move https://t.co/NMf20O2T75’s illegal regardless of what the SNP say. How about you get in with the DAY job instead? Like trying to sort health and education which are in a total mess!
@NicolaSturgeon You are in the enviable position where you can blame the UK government for everything that’s “wrong” and take credit for what goes well. It’s never your government’s fault. Always Westminster. I wonder who you’ll blame next if you do get independence and it all goes badly.
@rosscolquhoun@NicolaSturgeon Is that right?And why would we chose you?All you and your party are interested is getting another independence vote - which we already had. And you lost. Or do we just keep going down this road - with all the divisions and bitterness it caused - till you get the result you want!
@NicolaSturgeon You’ve had your referendum. You lost!! Just accept it and move on. How about you deal with all the current issues in the country that are affecting everyone right now!!
@NicolaSturgeon@IanDunt You had your referendum in 2014. You lost!! You cannot keep doing this till you get the “result “ you want!! It’s done. Over. Move on and start dealing with the real issues affecting people now.
@NicolaSturgeon@Panelbase@theSNP Latest gov UK poll shows 55% against independence. Depends which poll you chose!! Like everything else you put out there- you pick and chose what suits your cause. Never the actual@full picture
@scotgov Where is the money coming from?? Because you cannot afford it. You continue to spend money you don’t have!! 3.6 billion deficit and counting!! And that’s with all the extra money you’ve had from the UK government.
@scotgovhealth@scotgov@HumzaYousaf Primary care is an absolute joke. You cannot get to see a GP for love nor money. Hence the reason everyone is turning up@at A&E. NHS in Scotland is a disgrace and falling apart. And stop blaming the UK as it’s devolved so the buck stops with you!!
@scotgov@NicolaSturgeon@ScotParl The referendum was a once in a lifetime event. The country voted against independence. You lost. You cannot keep asking for another one till you get the result you want!! It’s done. Over. Can we just move in and focus on rebuilding our society after the awful Covid pandemic.
@NicolaSturgeon@IanDunt SNP continue to spend money they don’t have. Current budget deficit 3.6 billion. Half the working age population in Scotland are currently claiming DWP benefits. Paid for by the UK government. Furlough- paid for by UK.Scotland will be bankrupt without UK support- fact!!
