The SNP are Scottish people nothing
SNP ministers have handed an eyewatering £35m contract to a firm in India to manage Scotland’s benefits handouts The IT firm based in Bangalore will control the software that people use to apply for benefits, track their applications and make sure their details are up to date

Trying to go back will be an even bigger mistake
🇬🇧🇪🇺 Looking back, was Brexit a mistake for the UK? 🅰️ YES – Britain would have been better off staying in the EU. 🅱️ NO – Leaving was the right decision.

Most Scots believe Nicola Sturgeon lied about the Murrell thefts. 👇 thetimes.com/article/713791f…

The lies, propaganda and fake grievances are getting more ridiculous by the day. You undermine your credibility with just one lie ... but with the SNP everything is a lie. How do nationalists rationalise the constant dishonesty to themselves?

What utter drivel, lies & misinformation from Swinney. Our largest RAF base with the entire fleet of maritime patrol aircraft, surveillance aircraft and Sqn’s of Typhoons; additionally, HMNB Clyde holds the UK Submarine fleet that predominantly operates in the N Sea and Atlantic
John Swinney wants the Defence Secretary’s visit to the Clyde to come with a shift in position on securing our coastlines The First Minister’s again expressing concerns about possible Russian threats to Scotland Wes Streeting’s called his comments ‘irresponsible and unfounded’

This odious arsehole has spent decades on the public purse and has been at the heart of the SNP throughout every scandal, controversy and malfeasance and now has the audacity to posture as an innocent bystander. He doesn’t speak for Scotland. He speaks ONLY for the SNP and its insular loyalists. The views of the majority of Scots appear to be an inconvenience to him. Independence remains his overriding obsession, regardless of the economic damage, social consequences or democratic divisions it creates. Make no mistake - this isn’t about better governance. It’s about political grievance, he’s manufacturing friction with the rest of the UK and weakening the Union while pretending to defend devolution. Swinney isn’t a statesman trying to make Scotland work, he’s a lifelong political agitator whose overriding ambition has been to prise Scotland away from the UK. Scotland deserves a real First Minister, not a constitutional campaigner permanently masquerading as one.

The oil would stay in the ground forever then. You'll spend your life gibbering about indy without even the faintest idea how to deliver it.

So you'll tell Burnham he's the 'last PM ever', 'WM is finished', demand more powers and independence. Then ask for more money. World class negotiating skills from a corrupt incompetent failure.

From 'Honest John' to 'Seven Times' Swinney The cock crowed only three times for Jesus, but no less than seven times for John Swinney as he tried to dodge questions in parliament on new oil drilling in the North Sea How pathetic - link below 👇

Stating that independence would unequivocally and permanently remove the need for budgets to be cut is one of the most reckless things that John Swinney has done thus far. Independence would require Scotland to share the same risks and liabilities as any other economy.
As an independent country, Scotland would not have to put up with soaring energy bills and more Budget cuts. We would ensure our wealth works for the people who live here, not Westminster.

Then why did Salmond spend the entire 2014 campaign lying about it?

You are claiming that an independent Scotland could simply “carry on printing our own money”, completely failing to understand that current Scottish banknotes are not a sovereign currency. They are commercial promissory notes backed pound-for-pound by the Bank of England. You cannot just “carry on printing” without a currency union or central bank reserves, unless your goal is to trigger the immediate capital flight to NatWest that the Laurentjoye report warned about. The fact that an elected politician thinks creating a new macroeconomic framework is “simple” is troubling.

This is an absolute masterpiece of nationalist hypocrisy. The SNP is legitimately using a union quote to complain about a lack of “concrete reindustrialisation” and “devolved powers for... local authorities”, completely ignoring that economic development and municipal funding are fully devolved to Holyrood. Your party has been in power for nearly two decades. You oversaw the Ferguson Marine disaster, the collapse of BiFab, and the decline of Grangemouth. Furthermore, the SNP has spent that entire time relentlessly centralising power away from local councils and brutally ring-fencing their budgets. Blaming Westminster for your own domestic power-hoarding and industrial failures is insulting.
