🤏 By vetoing legislation passed by MSPs from every party in the Scottish Parliament, Westminster has launched a power grab on Scotland.
📣 Today, @HumzaYousaf announced we will challenge it in court.
🏴 We will always defend Scotland's democracy against Westminster's attacks.
Here's how the Scottish parliament is being undermined. [GRR bill & DRS]
The Setup
1. Cross-party support.
2. Widespread consultation.
3. Legislation passes.
The Attack
1. Vested interest criticism amplified by BBC.
2. Unionists withdraw support.
3. Westminster veto.
When Martin Geissler interviewed Lorna Slater on Sunday we were struck by his body language which showed a mixture of disdain, contempt, arrogance and aggression. We recorded him with the sound off and played it back. It's fascinating. It's all about him.
Iain Macwhirter personifies the plummeting standards within Scottish political journalism. A once respected figure reduced to churning out pro-Union clickbait.
The Scottish media is only just reporting Labour's North Sea Oil & Gas policy and the fact Anas Sarwar backs Keir Starmer. We highlighted this months ago. Not only that, we highlighted Sarwar's plans for new nuclear power plants in Scotland.

Seen this? Just the splash from #Varsity of 5 May 2000, revealing that Cambridge University Conservative Association president Suella Fernandes was accused of vote-rigging in the elections that made her the society’s head. Her response? A reassuring “you can’t prove anything”.
Did you know that Calmac carried a quarter more passengers last year than it did the previous year? You'd have thought this would have received widespread coverage given the media's obsession with ferries. It doesn't suit the 'ferry crisis' agenda.

We've no idea why BBC Scotland considers this the top national story. It makes no sense unless it's an attempt at comparing Scottish shipbuilding negatively with Turkish shipbuilding, which is crass even by Colonial Quay's standards.
Stephen Flynn's question at today's PMQs was about the UK Govt's lack of action over rising food prices. Watch how Reporting Scotland reported it. This is what we mean when we say the station is institutionally corrupt and cannot be trusted.
🏴 Support for independence is at 53%.
🚨 Scotland's democracy is under attack by Westminster.
@theSNP are the only party offering voters real change.
With the full powers of independence, we can escape the damage of Brexit and get rid of unelected Tory governments for good.
