Abolish The Greens.
The House of Lords is nothing more than a retirement home for failed politicians and rich donors. Scotland deserves better. It's time to abolish the House of Lords.

Yesterday, we attended a remembrance service by Blameless charity on Glasgow Green for those who have lost their lives through drugs.

Some people are more concerned about someone stabbing a dinghy than someone from a dinghy stabbing a person. The mind boggles 🤔

12 years today, I was one of 2 million+ Scots who voted NO to breaking up the United Kingdom. Seeing the state of Scotland under the SNP; the utter nonsense at Holyrood; and today's global dangers it's even more clear that we are BETTER TOGETHER 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

Within touching distance? You lost by 10 percentage points: 23% more people voted to remain in the UK than your support. And that was with the perfect conditions for your vote. Get a new hobby.
12 years ago today, we came within touching distance of independence. Today isn’t about looking backwards. It’s about redoubling our efforts, winning over the unconvinced and rebuilding the movement that will deliver independence. #independenceisnormal

Yeah, right. Empty. The. Bins.
I came into politics to ensure Scotland becomes an independent country, and I am determined to achieve that objective. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

THIS!
We have 4 parliaments spread across the United Kingdom, and they're all full of morons. We might as well abolish three of them and have all our morons confined to Westminster. It would be a good cost saving exercise for a start.

Left-wing politicians staged an anti-Israel debate in the Scottish Parliament today. As antisemitism becomes increasingly pervasive, my party stands proudly with our Jewish community.

John Swinney is fucking hopeless. For my sins I’m watching the wee diddy questions at the shortbread senate. Swinney is a man drowning in an inch of water. How the fuck has he been continually in the service of the SNP? He’s held most of the roles and been utterly shite.

1. Lie that there's been a "genocide" 2. Get idiots to promote it 3. Tie yourself in knots with idiotic boycotts 4. Feel good you're "doing something"

Nationalists constantly say that the "UK is not a country" (we know). But, by their own logic Scotland, being made up of former kingdoms, isn't a country either. Not that it matters to these idiots.

If Andy Burnham really believes in devolution, he should support Scottish councils that vote to leave Scottish Government control to return to direct funding from the UK Parliament.

There are simply too few Scottish nationalists, so they must rely on other disaffected groups. Those groups make them more likely to fail. SNP + Greens = Fail SNP + Remainers = Fail SNP + Trans = Fail SNP + Sinn Fein = Fail

Honestly, we in Scotland could all see this coming. Burnham doesn’t realise he’s not playing against a normal party. The SNP are devious, toxic shit stirrers. Burnham is a fool.
The First Minister's written to Andy Burnham, inviting him to meet. It's after the Prime Minister suggested another Scottish independence referendum could be held if public opinion shows demand for one.

It's amazing to us that multiple Prime Ministers of the UK, and so many so-called pro-UK politicians, indulge the nationalist fantasy of breaking up the UK, instead of simply telling them to fuck off.

A few points on this: 1. There is no Union 2. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a unitary state 3. No region of the UK can voluntarily secede 4. @Malcolm_Offord is the leader of @ReformUKScot, a party riddled with supporters of Scottish independence
Interestingly, Reform's Scotland leader Malcolm Offord is relaxed about Burnham's comments. Tells @LBC he doesn't see "any change" in the UKG position "it's very clear the Union is voluntary and if any part wants to leave with a majority backing that, that will be honoured." 1/3

the bit missing from Burnham’s letter to Swinney, the passage that states ‘no way is 7% of the population of the United Kingdom going to be allowed to dictate the other 93% changed citizenship rights without that 93% also having a say,they all get to vote too and a 2/3 majority’
