Retired Project Manager still hoping to live in an independent Scotland but certain my grandkids will. English by birth but chose to move to Scotland in ‘74 after uni and have never regretted it for a second.

Anyone considering voting for Reform should note that anywhere far right populists are in power is characterised by massive corruption. Trump, Putin, Orbán, all are deeply corrupt. Farage is known for his constant grifting, do you really think he'll stop that if he's Prime Minister?

The Prime Minister’s statement on immigration today will damage our economy, the NHS, social care and our universities. It ignores the need to boost Scotland’s working age population.
This sort of divisive language only plays into Nigel Farage’s hands.
Not in Scotland’s name.

Labour are planning to nationalise British Steel - to save the Scunthorpe plant from closing down.
Why didn't Labour do the same when Scotland's last oil refinery announced it was closing down?
Scottish jobs are an afterthought for Labour.

Today, @covidinquiryuk heard that the government instructed PPE suppliers to prioritise English NHS settings over Scotland.
Just as shocking, the government withdrew embassy support from Scottish government officials negotiating PPE deals in foreign countries. 👇🏻

The problem is he does represent America. He was elected. America voted for this. That’s why the rest of us are so angry and sickened by America. We won’t stop being angry and sickened until MOST Americans do something about it. Sorry isn’t good enough

My disabled daughter was moved from PIP (DWP) to Social Security Scotland's Adult Disability Payment. I believe her benefit is now secure. It's another reason I support indy as she might lose that under a UK Labour gov.

Unbelievable. Keir Starmer has handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and should not go ahead.

President Zelenskyy of #Ukraine is being deluged by - and retweeting - support from European leaders following the shocking #Trump thuggery in the Oval Office today. Europe is upping its game. One significant name missing from the supportive messages thus far: Keir Starmer.

The killer question that Mackay didn’t ask is “You keep saying it’s a private company. That was the case when you promised to save Grangemouth. Nothings changed!” That should have skewered Sarwar even further!

Just a general point. If you don't understand the difference between Reform UK style reactionary nationalism & left wing support for Scottish independence, lumping both together as "nationalism=bad". You should probably refrain from commenting and making your ignorance public.
