Free tuition.
Free prescriptions.
Scottish Child Payment.
Lowest council tax bills in the UK.
Peak rail fares gone for good.
Child poverty falling.
That is our SNP record and proof that self-government works.
Imagine how much more we could do with the powers of independence.

2. Absurdity is a hallmark of authoritarianism. It's not just that those who believe absurdities commit atrocities. It's also that those who endorse atrocities become absurd.
This is where Keir Starmer's government now finds itself.

They are the opposite of terrorists. They were protesting *against* terrorism. 🧵

Bear in mind that if you held up a sign saying "I support genocide", you would not be arrested under the Terrorism Act.
