@AlexSalmond Standing up for Scotland right until the very end 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 RIP First Minister 😢 🙏 💙 Thinking of his family today. Rest well Alex Salmond 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 51.8K views · 644 likes · 59 reposts · 4 replies 12 Oct 2024 · Open on X →

It is designed to diminish the status of our Parliament and the First Minister. Part of becoming independent is about thinking independently, not subserviently. John should have politely declined the meeting with the words “Scotland is a country not a county”. (5/5) 643K views · 4.3K likes · 1.3K reposts · 204 replies 12 Oct 2024 · Open on X →

If John or his advisers had read Gordon Brown’s original proposal for this Council, then they would have realised that this wasn’t some ad hoc reset meeting, but part of a plan to pull any independence teeth from devolution.

Similarly, there is little point in John Swinney complaining that his attendance at the grandly titled Council of the Nations and Regions doesn’t carry a perception of a regional status for the nation of Scotland - it does deliver that status.

Of course the First Minister has the right to insist on bilateral JMC meetings with the Prime Minister. I am not sure in which world that correct business approach includes a convivial group selfie with the political opponent who is freezing Scots pensioners.

Tony Blair used to whine that he never really compared the Scottish Parliament to an “English Parish Council”, it was only the nasty Scottish press who twisted his remarks! In fact, he did so compare. (1/5) https://t.co/nTqUQlqu3I 921.2K views · 2.6K likes · 883 reposts · 375 replies 12 Oct 2024 · Open on X →

Starmer’s “we stand with Israel” declaration seems eerily reminiscent of a previous Labour Prime Minister’s open-ended commitment of some 20 years ago to stand with the USA on Iraq “come what may”. (1/3) 240.9K views · 985 likes · 376 reposts · 80 replies 02 Oct 2024 · Open on X →

John Swinney and Keir Starmer are both being sued by two courageous pensioners from Coatbridge. It is always better to fight for justice than surrender, to stand up for Scotland than meekly cave in to London diktat (1/2) 132K views · 629 likes · 284 reposts · 82 replies 01 Oct 2024 · Open on X →

✂️ People across Dundee are angry about Labour's Winter Fuel betrayal of pensioners. 🥀 Instead of standing up to Keir Starmer, Labour MPs in Scotland rubber-stamped his cuts. ❄️ With Scotland's cold winters, Labour's cuts will force people to choose between heating and eating. 176.7K views · 232 likes · 134 reposts · 94 replies 01 Oct 2024 · Open on X →
