@AbolishWestmin @Ordinaryentity @TeleriGlynJones No surprise AW, the colonialist media is an extension of the Wminster colonialist cartel, so nasty the 🇮🇪 folk were likened to “apes”⬇️in order to carry out their genocidial policies of starvation, little wondered Westminster sides with Israeli genocide, “Wminster wrote the book”

Great to hear from Ken at @iScotNews at conference. A brilliant publication with news and features all about Scotland. It’s crucial for the independence movement to have Scottish promoting media and they do a power of work.

Make sure to pick up a Scottish passport holder! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The BBC are ALWAYS going to be the media branch of whatever party is in the hot seat at Westminster 💯

So, will ALWAYS push pro-unionist narratives even when they have to denigrate Scotland to do so 🤨

Can I ask anyone of the 14000 people who have signed up to the Scottish Liberation Movement to share this post and hashtag it with #Liberation4Scotland
Today's the day that everything changes.

Gillian Martin, talking about green hydrogen pipeline to Germany: it will go via North of England. When will they ever learn? Electricity wired to North of England, hydrogen plant there, piped to Germany. Resource comes from Scotland, jobs and profits to England. Get a grip,SNP

Time to give Scotland an international voice under UN treaty. Implement the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) in Scottish legislation https://t.co/kScGhXCLBM

in 2013 we got above ourselves and created a magazine for those o independent mind. We live in a country where foreign media controls how we are allowed to view ourselves.

2025 is the year to stand tall "Be free or bend the knee" —the future is ours to shape. Let’s make it one of freedom and self-determination.

Freedom is never given - the act of *taking* it is what makes a people truly free. Scotland has another opportunity to take its freedom in 2026 - if it elects the right people.

@iScotNews - if you're not already a subscriber to the print or digital edition, sort that today.

ALEX SALMOND FAMILY STATEMENT

The family of the Former First Minister and Leader of the Alba Party Alex Salmond, his wife Moira, sisters Margaret and Gail, his brother Bob and his nieces Christina and Karen and his nephews Mark, Neil and Ian have this evening (Sunday)  issued the following statement:

"The family of Alex Salmond would like to extend our sincere thanks for the many hundreds of kind messages, calls and cards.

"Alex was a formidable politician, an amazing orator, an outstanding intellect, and admired throughout the world. He loved meeting people and hearing their stories, and showed incredible kindness to those who needed it. He dedicated his adult life to the cause he believed in - indepcendence for Scotland. His vision and enthusiasm for Scotland and the Yes movement were both inspirational and contagious.

"But to us, first and foremost, he was a devoted and loving husband, a fiercely loyal brother, a proud and thoughtful uncle and a faithful and trusted friend.

"In our darkest of family moments, he was always the one who got us through, making this time even more difficult, as he is not here for us to turn to. His resilience and optimism knew no bounds.

"He led us to believe in better. Without Alex, life will never be the same again. But he would want us to continue with his life’s work for independence, and for justice, and that is what we shall do. “The dream shall never die.”

ENDS

Christina, Our heartfelt condolences go out to you and your family. Alex's contributions and legacy will always be remembered. Wishing you strength and peace during this very difficult time.

Dear Alex, Rest in peace
The debt is unpayable
Scotland forever

Alex’s last message in a short thread. To the point as ever.
#RIPAlex

[Alex Salmond @AlexSalmond]

If John or his advisers had read Gordon Brown’s original proposal for this Council, then they would have realised that this wasn’t some ad hoc reset meeting, but part of a plan to pull any independence teeth from devolution. (4/5)

[Alex Salmond @AlexSalmond]

Of course the First Minister has the right to insist on bilateral JMC meetings with the Prime Minister. I am not sure in which world that correct business approach includes a convivial group selfie with the political opponent who is freezing Scots pensioners. (3/5)
