Anti-SNP, anti-authoritarian, pro (real) science. Believer in straight talking. No time for political correctness, snowflakes or cancel culture.

@_KateForbes @scotgov Investing in net zero benefits nobody in Scotland. Where does the investment go?

LTN's to force people out of cars.
LEZ's which cost people money.
Green energy which still costs us a fortune to use.

Stop it. Invest in things we need - schools, hospitals, roads...

[Jim Murray @jwjmurray]

@AnasSarwar So what are you offering?

Austerity 2.0 like Kier?

Show us a real difference and we might listen.

Grow the economy. Dump the green garbage. Cut the taxes. Stimulate real investment. Create wealth not dependency.

More of the same in a different colour will not cut it.

[Jim Murray @jwjmurray]

@RichardBurgon Is it? Or is it the beginning of the return of the bloated, inefficient, unreliable, hyper-militant, over unionised railways of old?

British Rail was the poster child for waste, unreliability and militancy. I am old enough to remember BR...

Be careful what you wish for.

[Jim Murray @jwjmurray]

@AgentP22 No surprise there then.

It's the only tune they know.

[Jim Murray @jwjmurray]

@MonicaLennon7 @scotgov You don't see it, do you.
We don't CARE about active travel, we care about feeding our poor, taking care of our sick and making sure working Scots see the benefit of their work.

Unfortunately neither you nor the SNP seem to understand that.

Stop wasting our money.

[Jim Murray @jwjmurray]

So the #SNP are finally having to face the reality that money does not grow on trees after all.
No more excuses- you cannot spend on giveaways to appease your core vote while blaming westminster for your ineptitude.

[Jim Murray @jwjmurray]

@AshleaSimonBF Arrive illegally = immediate arrest & detention.
Fast track decision on asylum claims (14 days max).
Tighter asylum rules.
Immediate deportation for all failed claimants.
No benefits at all until at least 1 continuous year of legal, paid work completed.

[Jim Murray @jwjmurray]

@justdave89now I don't, but nor do I expect a deterioration.

There is NO point in the Labour party existing if they are simply going to follow the same path as the tories and do it worse.

The country needs a new direction, new hope, money back in ordinary people's pockets.

This isn't it.

[Jim Murray @jwjmurray]

@IngrameThomas Overseas aid. Charity begins at home.
Civil Servants. Government is far, far too bloated & inefficient.
Tighten expenses rules for all politicians & govt. employees.
Scrap ALL the net zero garbage. It's utterly pointless
Likewise all the diversity & inclusion junk.

[Jim Murray @jwjmurray]

@IngrameThomas Absolutely not.

[Jim Murray @jwjmurray]

SNP : Pay more tax to fund free tuition.

SNP : Let's cut 1200 places to save money.

WHERE IS OUR MONEY GOING?

VOTERS : #snpout

[Jim Murray @jwjmurray]

@HumzaYousaf And who exactly voted for you?

Do the decent thing. Call an election and lets see what the PEOPLE od Scotland really think of you and your aggressively anti-wealth policies.

#snpout

[Jim Murray @jwjmurray]

@toryman1979 What we need is rid of the bunch of socialist idiots currently occupying Holyrood!

#snpout

[Jim Murray @jwjmurray]

@SilvioTattiscon It's literally all they know how to do - tax, tax, tax. Anything else would require them to actually think which we all know they are collectively incapable of.

#snpout

[Jim Murray @jwjmurray]

@theSNP And the only way to save Scotland is to vote the #snpout

You've had 16 years. Look at the mess you've made - time to let someone else in to clean up after you!

[Jim Murray @jwjmurray]

@HumzaYousaf @theSNP Will you get it through your head - there is no such thing as progressive taxation.

It doesn't exist. It's a socialist construct designed to hide the fact that socialism discourages work, self reliance and economic growth.

We're not falling for it.

[Jim Murray @jwjmurray]

@HumzaYousaf @ShonaRobison @ShonaRobisonMSP Westminster is not harming Scotland, you and your party of incompetent, untrustworthy, unaccountable fools are.

We've heard 'Westminster's fault' for 16 years. It's no more true now than it was then.

You think Scots support you, call an election & find out.

#snpout

[Jim Murray @jwjmurray]

@AlexGill_ Ehm, no.

I worked damn hard. I did the 18hr days, 7 days a week. I skipped holidays. I fought, struggled and earned what I have now.

I did shitty jobs with shitty pay and worse hours when I had to. Why should my hard work subsidise those who won't do as I did?

[Jim Murray @jwjmurray]

@HumzaYousaf Where is the growth?
Where is the incentive to work, to try, to invest, to better yourself?

Nowhere.

Those who pay see no benefit. Those who do nothing gain.

Great values. Not.

#SNPOut

[Jim Murray @jwjmurray]

@scotsdude2 @HumzaYousaf @scotgov Clearly we don't matter, probably since most of us have more sense than to vote SNP!

Our only role in their eyes is to pay everyone else's bills.
