FYI
🇬🇧The bbc have published ONLY 6 articles in relation to uk westminster’s shambolic ‘Ajax Armoured Car’ programme, squandering £6,300M
🏴The bbc have however published 55 (FIFTY-FIVE!) articles (and a ‘Documentary’) on the ‘SNP Bad’ Scottish Govs Ferries overspend (£250M)

Excellent article here by Scottish Minute Man shared via Danny McCafferty @dmccafferty49 which needs to be shared widely. Please ensure the McGills and BBC Reporting Scotland don't get to hold the moral high ground here.

Burnham wants to help with the cost of living crisis. Could do it in a second in Scotland. Give us electricity zonal pricing. Cheapest energy then in Western Europe. He won't. Why? Can't have Scotland doing better than England. A Union of Equals? Never. Always England first.

Women weren’t allowed to take out workplace pensions for many years in the 70’s & 80’s or have a mortgage or loan without a husband. How exactly were they expected to save or invest? Young people think post war 1940’s suddenly became the 90’s. It didn’t it was very very different

Once in a generation nonsense resurrected yet again
The people of Scotland did not consent to the 2014 referendum being "once in a generation".
Nowhere in any binding legal document in connection with the referendum is that cited or agreed.
Burnham is trying to deny democracy.

"A country denied the ability to run its own economy is blamed for being bankrupt by the authority which exercises those macro-economic powers over it.

Fgs @bbcnews.
1) pensioners haven’t suddenly appeared , they’ve been alive nearly 70years.
2) many pensioners don’t get the full pension
3) this year’s increase will be based on the average income rise. AVERAGE.
Why should pensioners get a smaller increase?
Ask the questions!

Nicola Sturgeon deliberately prevented the accounts being investigated. I raised concerns in writing on the 7th August 2020. There was clear evidence of missing Ring Fenced Funds. I have the written evidence that I submitted to Peter Murrell, Ian McCann, Kirsten Oswald and Scott Martin.

Grangemouth produced 97% of Scotland's aviation fuel before Labour allowed it to be shut down.

A huge thank you to the 1885 Dunfermline Athletic Business Club for their incredible £20,000 donation 👏
Presented by Garry Davidson, this support will help fund our upcoming semi-final against Falkirk, covering pre-match preparations, travel, and as well as supporting our previous round preparations for our win over Aberdeen.
Thank you for your continued support 🏁

I'm interested in the "political advantage" part of the attack on the SNP and Lord Advocate. How does being informed that your former CEO has been indicted on a charge of embezzlement of your party's funds give you political advantage?

So, Dunfermline end the year with the Fife bragging rights. 🏁
A first win at Stark’s Park in almost 9 years.
Hard fought but they leave with a 2-1 win - and celebrations to remember.

100 km of 70 metre high pylons will go through Aberdeenshire and Angus to take power to Drax in England. The bit in Yorkshire goes underground. Those pylons are little short of landscape vandalism. Scots Gov must not pass this. Sub sea and/or underground. End off.

Every Unionist post which uses GERS to argue against Scottish independence can be summed up quite simply as, "The Union has made you too poor to leave".
Stephen Taylor retweeted
How is it independent Ireland with a population similar to Scotland's, without the natural resources that Scotland has, can run a surplus of £34 billion and resource rich Scotland tied to the indebted UK can have a deficit of £21 billion. That's your GERS. UK chicanery

Watch as Professor Richard Murphy (@RichardJMurphy) expertly debunks Unionist claims about Scotland's finances 🔥
'If Scotland is running a deficit, we know who to blame. It's Westminster. Nobody at Holyrood is responsible'

Scotland’s public finances are strong and sustainable.
For the fourth year running, devolved revenues have grown faster than devolved spending with Scotland generating the third highest revenue per person in the UK, behind only London and the South East.

ALT Yellow SNP graphic with quote from Shona Robison MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government. The quote reads: “For the fourth year in a row, devolved revenues have grown faster than devolved expenditure. The decisions we have taken here in Scotland are helping support sustainable public finances, which are better than many other parts of the UK.” To the right is a headshot of Shona Robison in front of a Scottish flag.
