If you follow me and haven't yet made the hop over to Mastodon, I would highly recommend it! Come join! <3 If you are in Scotland, my recommendation is mastodon.scot. It's growing quite a bit and it is such a nice wee community! Total antithesis of this place.

We're continually told by Westminster that Scotland is part of a voluntary union, yet they deny us a choice over our own future. So we will contest the next General Election on a simple proposition: Vote The SNP for Scotland to become an independent country. #WhyNotScotland?

Last year, Westminster cut Universal Credit for the most vulnerable ๐Ÿ“‰ Meanwhile, Holyrood increased Scottish benefits in line with inflation ๐Ÿ“ˆ Labour are now against Scotland protecting the poorest from the DWP

Media: The SNP is too secretive and controlled from the top down. SNP: Starts internal discussion about independence policy. Media: This is confusing and shows the SNP is in trouble. The leadership should be explaining the policy in detail before party members have decided it.

This is good, actually. Queer people should be furious that our fight for liberation and equality is being hijacked by pinkwashing polluters who threaten our very existence as a species. It's time for us to reclaim pride.

Fossil Free Pride (@fossilfreepride) 's Twitter Profile Photo

We have attempted to contact Pride in London for 3 years about committing to no fossil fuel sponsorship and have had no response. PiL have had the opportunity to speak to us on these issues but have dodged every attempt at signing the FFP Pledge or even having a meeting. ๐Ÿงต

As is often the case, Tommy Sheppard is well worth listening to. He captures why The SNP, alongside many in civic society, opposes the UK Governmentโ€™s anti-boycott bill ๐Ÿ‘‡

When Threads launches in a few days I will inevitably join. However, I do think a downside of Musk killing Twitter is that it provided an alternative to Meta/Facebook owned platforms. Looking forward to the servers crashing simultaneously on FB, Insta, WhatsApp and Threads. ๐Ÿ˜…

I have the ability to take a loan out from the bank. That does not however mean I have the โ€˜borrowing powersโ€™ that Mhairi Black was clearly referring too. The ability of ScotGov to โ€˜borrowโ€™ is not equivalent to the standard borrowing powers of a typical state.

After everything that is happened the SNP are still in the lead. Lab are gaining a higher % of Tory > Labour switchers than SNP > Labour. Analysis notes Lab position on more devolution vital but Lab has signalled little interest in this. I think the SNP will win in 2024. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
