In 2 months time we have an election. If the SNP don’t win a majority we will be stuck in Tory U.K. indefinitely. We need a majority to progress to independence. The infighting and factions have to stop the self destruction now. Remember how everyone felt in September ‘14? Unity.

Much discussion of Scotland’s drug deaths. I used to teach in an ex mining village school. A colleague said “the mines closed down and the drugs moved in.” A shocking legacy of Thatcher’s policy which, unremarkably Tories never reflect on or take responsibility for. #SCRM

Scotland feels a bit grubbier tonight, tainted by today’s over the top scenes. Picking over the debris are the media and the opponents of #ScottishIndependence , of which there are many, & they are the ones with most to gain from this spectacle. I will continue to support @theSNP

I didn’t think I could be more disgusted at @BBCScotlandNews . The @Douglas4Moray scandal has disappeared from their website. Is it no longer newsworthy that lapses of memory in declaring income from his jobs as a linesman and MSP but managing to claim for milk? 🤔 #ResignDouglas

@magnusllewellin Utterly disgraceful comment. My husband is a yes and SNP voting Englishman. We each have much loved English family on both sides. We both dislike the corruption, resistance to meaningful change and dysfunction of Westminster. Write about that and you might be onto something.

I had to go to A&E at Kirkcaldy Vic today. I was seen by triage with nurse then consultant within 10 minutes. Saw specialist ophthalmology consultant after just over an hour and then discharged with medication well within the 4 target. Lovely, competent staff. Thank you SNHS.

I want us to win IndyRef2 badly & would like it as soon as possible. Today I have been attacked for urging caution, knowing that if we mess this up, we’re stuck with WM for a very long time. Those most angry with this approach are “Indy supporters”. Let’s not fight each other.

1. Isn’t it frustrating to live in a country, rich in resources, like oil, gas, renewables, where a large portion of the population is kept deliberately in ignorance of that wealth and believes that we are too poor and too reliant on London to be independent?

I have English family- my SNP/Yes voting husband, all of his relatives, and my late uncle’s family, his wife and my cousins. I want #ScottishIndependence for them as much as I do for Scotland. The only way WM will reform is if Scotland leaves. This would force a massive rethink.

So aided by the entire Scottish media (except for the National), Labour has won In Rutherglen and West Hamilton on 37.2% of the electorate. No scrutiny of the vacuous sound bites, slogans, inconsistencies and u-turns by Keir Starmer. Scotland needs #ScottishIndependence badly.
