@TheGNPE It does always amaze me that the left wing so called progressive Labour Party only ever has white middle aged men as leaders yet the right wing Conservatives have had women, Hindu and black leaders
@SSalyers2 Wild how some folk jump straight from ‘we need independence’ to ‘Britain will unleash tanks and famine if we try’. That’s not realism, it's political horror writing. If your case for independence needs Britain as a cartoon villain, maybe the argument isn’t as strong as you think.
@ScotlandBobby The pattern’s familiar: democracy delivers a result they don’t like, so suddenly we need new institutions, new channels, new everything — basically a political toy set where nothing ever contradicts them. Scotland doesn't need a media comfort blanket for sore losers
@Shambles151 Just a reminder: ‘genocide’ isn’t a vibe, it’s a legal term requiring intent to wipe out a group. Gaza is a horrific humanitarian crisis — but calling everything genocide just makes the word meaningless.
@Fyrishsunset Calling Swinney ‘Scotland’s greatest First Minister’ is a fascinating take. Not true, obviously — but fascinating in the way people insist their dog can talk
@CraigMurrayOrg Your ‘plan’ for independence boils down to: ignore the referendum, ignore the electorate, and pretend democracy is optional. If you need to cancel Scottish people’s actual vote to make fantasy work, it’s not a strategy it’s a plan that tells 55% of Scots their vote doesn’t matter
@AgentP22 It isn’t a plan for independence, it’s a 7‑season Netflix drama. Declare independence, email every foreign minister on Earth, seize public buildings, blockade the army, and hold a plebiscite like it’s Eurovision. Great fan fiction
@CraigMurrayOrg Your roadmap includes ‘take physical control of the courts’ and ‘blockade military bases’, you haven’t designed a strategy — you’ve accidentally reinvented Les Misérables with fewer songs and more paperwork. Great fan fiction
@tozdee57 The list was good enough to get Nicola Sturgeon elected for the first few times...and what about Health Minister Maree Todd? She was booted out by her constituents only to get in on the list
@mike59215 Aye, MI5 infiltrated the SNP in 2015. Right after they finished personally sabotaging the ferries, hiding the IndyRef2 button, and neutralising Scotland’s ability to hold a meeting without producing a 200‑page strategy document
@RickHJohnston Think you'll find the SNP stole it first. January 2023 — that’s when Greater Manchester first introduced its £2 single‑fare cap under Andy Burnham’s mayoral powers
@Dungarbhan So apparently Swinney’s “de facto referendum” strategy was so effective that even the electorate didn’t notice it happened. If that was the big push for independence, it had all the force of a damp Post‑it note.
@Colkitto Get the three First Ministers together for a joint declaration? Aye, because nothing screams ‘democracy must not be denied’ like a constitutional Avengers Assemble.
@lindamccorr The BBC isn’t showing the Commonwealth Games because they didn’t buy the rights — not because Scotland might accidentally look competent. If they wanted to broadcast Scottish incompetence, they’d just run a six‑part documentary on the SNP ferry fiasco
