Scotland is literally keeping England’s lights and heating on. Some of us have been saying this about Scotland’s natural resources for decades. Yet still about 50% of Scots don’t believe in their country being independent. Quite astonishing. #SNP #indyref2 #Scotland

When I was ill & taken by ambulance to hospital in Spain in 2016, this little card was all I needed to get 1st class, speedy treatment, no questions asked. Sadly, no more. Thanx #Brexit voters for setting us back 50 years. Smart move, not! #BrexitReality #hello2021 #SNP #indyref2

Boris Johnson tells Ian Blackford & Westminster that the people of Scotland are highly unlikely to “cast away their new-found freedoms.” #Brexit has set us back 40 years, Scotland voted against it, had no say in the deal, and will be £9bn worse off. New-found freedoms?🤷‍♂️

BREAKING: The North Sea oil we were told in 2014 had disappeared or was worthless has re-emerged, according to today’s newspapers. This “minnow” firm reckons they have 130m barrels more. That’s $7 BILLION worth. One tiny company! 🤷‍♂️It’s the North Sea Oil Miracle! #indyref2 #SNP

UK state pension is max £122.30 per week. In some small indy European countries it's 3 or 4 times this. Scots need to wake up. #ScotRef

Guy in Switzerland emailed me to say his monthly state OAP pension is £1850 monthly in an Independent country. Scaremongers please note.

Josip Juranovic is worth £27m or more. #Celtic don’t need to sell him but if Chelsea are interested then they should be told to ‘sling their ‘ook’ if they think they can get him for less than £10m. Weren’t they watching the World Cup? The Hoops need to stand their ground.

Today's Herald archives article reminds us that Unionists were talking down oil in 1992. Some things never change. #indyref2 #snp

Ouch! You can almost feel the Scottish unionist pain as this English pupil says what the @scotgov @ScotGovFM and #SNP did re the #Exams2020 u-turn was the right move & would be welcomed there. #indyref2

The faux outrage of unionists claiming 3 men & a dog near #Berwick discouraging people from spreading #Covid is “anti-English racism by #SNP supporters” is just downright embarrassing.

I really don't know whether to laugh or cry at this. The 50% or so of my fellow Scots who don't have faith, trust and confidence in their own country's ability to be a successful indy nation really do baffle me. And we have so much more than oil #Indyref2 #SNP

They couldn't lace our FM's boots. If Scotland doesn't vote for indy soon we are doomed to remain England's poodle and our children will never understand why we didn't have faith in our own country. #indyref2 #SNP

Definitely think FM is saying “put that away” to PM. Her body language as she received him and Scottish Secretary was a sight to behold. “This is my country. I’m the boss. You’ve no mandate. Don’t patronise me. Just get in.” #indyref2 #SNP #Brexit

Do Scots suffering #fuelpoverty in sub-zero temperatures appreciate the country is energy rich but most of it goes elsewhere? Irony seems lost on some that, if Scotland was independent, fuel poverty would all but end. 34% of Scots are in fuel poverty, Norway 1%. 🤷‍♂️ #SNP #indyref2

With indy we'd be off the scales, miles ahead of UK. Scotland can fulfill its potential only through indy. #scotref #snp

“But, but but ... although the #SNP got 48 seats, they only got 45% of votes so it’s not a vote for #indyref2 ”, claim unionists. But Tories getting 43% of UK votes gives them carte blanche for Brexit, austerity, + anything they want? Aye right! Do they think we zip up the back?

SNP already had a mandate for #ScotRef before council elections. No amount of Tory spin today changes that.
