Financial survival reliant on London.
The "Scottish" in Scottish Labour is a branding exercise. The reality is a party funded, controlled and sustained from London.🏴🏴
I'm old enough to remember being told the only way to remain in the EU was to vote no to #ScottishIndependence
Any mitigating factors on the horizon @Alison_S_Taylor ?
Sorry but this has never been a "formerly safe seat" for the SNP.
It is a marginal seat - Tories won in 2017 and yesterday. Before that (up to 2010) Labour.
Do better.
Scotland and New Zealand have a strong, shared history.
First Minister @JohnSwinney met New Zealand High Commissioner to the UK Hamish Cooper.
They discussed the @ScotGov's Scottish Connections work and areas where Scotland and New Zealand can increase collaboration.
The biggest news story of the two by elections in Scotland is the absolute collapse of UKLabour in Scotland under the leadership of @AnasSarwar and @jackiebmsp
19.3% down in Aberdeen South.
4th place (behind Reform).
18.0% down in Broughty Ferry.
4th place (behind Reform).
Thomas Kerr MSP, the deputy leader of Reform UK Scotland, is wasting taxpayers money by using parliamentary time to ask the Scottish Parliament to wish Donald Trump a happy birthday via a parliamentary motion.
What a joke of a party and MSP.
Quick reminder to the unionists in Aberdeen South. Aberdeen is the way it is, solely down to labour and the Tories. They have always controlled our energy sector, from Westminster. The idea that the Tories are now going to fix it, is laughable.
And here's the circular trap: unionists use that GERS deficit to argue Scotland can't afford independence while blocking the one thing that would let us recover.
An independent Scotland rejoining the EU starts reversing the £30bn we're already losing every year
GERS keeps telling us Scotland runs a deficit. This study tells us Brexit costs Scotland £30bn a year in lost output , and we're the worst-hit devolved nation. Scotland's fiscal position is measured after absorbing the damage of a decision 62% of us rejected.
Sam supported a YES vote for independence in 2014 & wants to see Scotland represented on the world stage: https://t.co/FVISVospTI True patriotism is about promoting your own country & not denigrating those from other countries:
Scotland fans singing “Flower of Scotland” at full volume before the Morocco match. 👏
Take a moment and listen to that noise. Absolutely spine-tingling. 🤯🏴
Great to attend the Royal Highland Show today and speak to our brilliant farmers, crofters and food and drink producers.
They are essential not only to our economy, but to who we are as a nation. The SNP will always be on the side of rural communities.
Aberdeen south votes in a tory on a save the north sea ticket yet the unionists always say the north sea is owned by private foreign companies, having been sold off by Maggie Thatcher and until nationalised will never benefit the UK. Thick as shit in a bottleneck.
