@agcolehamilton On the day after the independence referendum I was in Tallinn and every single Estonian I met couldn't believe Scots had not voted for independence - the most important, positive & transformative event to happen in Estonian democracy.
A very thought provoking column from @holyroodmandy. “Scottish Government ministers will tell me, privately, that this is the most toxic issue they have ever experienced but won’t speak up for fear of reprisal…it’s led to a place..

Callum MacDonald (in the white hat) on his 179th trip across the Skye Bridge which he does every Sunday Morning for independence. Accompanied by Yes Skye and Lochalsh this morning for Believe in Scotland, National Weekend of Action.
Lad on the train: You know them masks don't work?
Me: And do you know I have just worked 13 hours as a nurse on the COVID ITU???
.......and he moves to the other end of the carriage.
Off with ya 🖕🏻
It's now seven years since the last independence referendum and this picture sums it up. Labour, Tory and Lib-Dem campaigning together on the same stage, their minor differences forgotten, paving the way for Scotland to suffer 11 years of Tory rule, Brexit and Boris Johnson.
You won’t see a pro-union version of this with prominent figures in the arts who’ve moved from Yes to No because there aren’t any. #Scotland#YesBecause
Seven years ago today we were told to vote No if we wanted Scotland to stay in Europe. Now we know better. Lovely to join Yes4EU at Scottish Parliament today. #wontgetfooledagain@YesScot@theSNP
So this happened yesterday.
Honestly? We are broken. This account is run by just three frontline NHS staff. In truth at least two of us are having a wobble.
If you support what we are doing and think we are needed please will you follow and retweet this to your followers? 🙏🏻
@NeilDrysdale @OatyMacPhail My Understanding is that there will be further resignations from branch office bearers in different branches in Aberdeenshire in the coming weeks. When will the rank and file wake up and smell the coffee?
Scandalous, the amount of money taken from the north east over the last 60 years to be spent elsewhere on infrastructure, and now the very folk who got that infrastructure spend are trying to stop the north east from getting decent roads. Where are our local snp mps and msps?

@xiotex@DerekWeston16 All the more reason to move here, if you're a 'not Tory voter' we need you! Plus it's absolutely beautiful here, full of great walks and beaches, stunning coastline and lovely people. I may be biased...
Police Scotland has confirmed it's treating the behaviour of a Liberal Party candidate and supporters who confronted Justice Secretary @HumzaYousaf at the Emirates yesterday as a hate incident.
Congratulation @theSNP@NicolaSturgeon for your huge victory in #Scotland elections! I am confident, you will vote for independence soon after pandemic is over.
In the meantime, I will launch an initiative to Nordic Council: we will ask Scotland to join council as an observer.
