Great to join Eilidh Munro for Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch in Rothiemurchus today.

Vote SNP on the 7th of May.

This is truly hilarious. Severin Carrell, who has a stroke at the very mention of someone having an independent thought, trying to pitch Sarwar as ruthless calling for people to vote "Scottish" Labour to get the leader "English" Labour votes for is comedy gold.

Sarwar has shown his ruthless streak. But will his swipe at Starmer mean anything to voters?
Scottish Labour leader is gambling that by declaring his loyalty to Scotland, the electorate will rally behind him

British politics isn't about you or me, or your neighbour, friend or colleague. British politics is about the people who sit in that hateful palace on the Thames, the vile venal games they played to get into that rotten place, and the exercise of power in their own interest once they’re installed

Anyone who thinks this is Anas Sarwar putting 'country before party' needs their damn head examining. This is Anas Sarwar putting his own ludicrous hopes of becoming Scotland's First Minister ahead of both his party and country

The London commentariat are frankly embarrassing on any Scottish issue.

In the US, insurance is access. Lose cover & you lose treatment.

Decisions about what you get, when you get it, or whether you get it at all are made by insurers, not doctors.

This is the model Reform repeatedly praise & borrow language from.

In most of Europe, healthcare is public by default.

Everyone is covered by the state system.

If you cannot afford the top-up insurance, you are still treated.

Reform keeps saying that the NHS being unsustainable without a shift towards insurance-based healthcare.

When they talk about insurance-based healthcare, it is not pointing us towards the European model.

It is pointing us towards the American one, while pretending the two are equivalent.

Three months until Scotland’s choice.

On May 7, vote SNP to choose hope, fairness and real action on the cost of living.

Let’s escape the broken Westminster system and choose our own future with the fresh start of independence. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

As the figurehead and catalyst for Scottish self determination, Nicola Sturgeon became the primary target of the british state

Nicola Sturgeon was slurred and subjected to a character assassination by the state and its media, in order to disrupt and derail progress towards Scottish independence

Op Branchform is now one of the longest running, and most expensive, police enquiries in Scottish history

The 4yr enquiry included investigation into the purchasing of pots, utensils, disposable razors, pens and teabags for use in a campaign campervan

We all know what Op Branchform really is
