@TheSNP grassroots campaign for a sovereign, peaceful, de-nuclearised and internationalist Scotland - out of NATO. ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ๐๏ธโฎ๏ธ๐
An accidentally released document published by a NATO-affiliated body confirmed of a long-held open secret: U.S. nuclear weapons are being stored in Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Turkey https://t.co/Amz39nRuK4
We call on the Scottish Parliament and all parties to condemn the brutality being witnessed in Sudan, committed by the Transitional Military Council against pro-democracy protestors, and for the UK Government to stand up for human rights. #SudanUprising
Terrible news for refugees/migrants trapped in detention centres (& everyone in Libya). We still don't know how many died the last time serious conflict broke out in Tripoli, though 1,000s were abandoned without food/water or forced onto unsafe streets. https://t.co/o3yt4nYjTj
So wee thread on my idea of an SNP Nordic Baltic Policy Forum: @SNPNordicBaltic . It strikes me that there is a desire amongst party members to do some decent policy exploration. There is strong interest in the N&B countries in particular and a desire to learn from them.
Only 16% of voters list "Defence and security" as influencing their views on independence. Rather than pursue the failed, discredited doctrines of old, the SNP has more than enough political capital to articulate a new, different vision for a more human international order ๐๐๏ธโฎ๏ธ
The deadline for amendments to conference is 9am on the 29th of March - please take our amendment to your branches! This is our chance to make sure Scotland isn't dragged into storing nuclear weapons for an extended period of time after independence!

This is how pro-NATO arguments work: raise largely sensible concerns about things like Russian interference and hostility in the Baltics etc. - and then end by counterposing security efforts against the SNP's anti-trident position. Pure sleight-of-hand. https://t.co/02uO11m28B
The Welsh Government is now advised to write to the Committee for the Prevention of Torture calling on them to visit Imrali Prison to assess the conditions of Abdullah รcalan, the Kurdish leader.
Note also that RAF has been making provocative flights near Russian airspace in Baltic AND Black Sea. Indy Scotland should avoid being sucked into new Cold War. All Europe should be a nuclear free zone. @ScottishCND @SnpCnd
While it's positive that such a motion has been accepted, it is our intention to amend the resolution to ensure that our party's longstanding committment to Trident removal is not superseded by a future bid for NATO membership, and that the decision is subject to popular mandate.
Tomorrow's front page: Independence takes centre stage at SNP conference. Members asked to approve 33-point economic plan AND also a strict timetable for getting rid of Trident โ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๓ ด๓ ฟ
