👇 Nothing new here @theSNP @JohnSwinney . The Majority who said NO are still here. We don’t need to tell you again.

Given the endless SNP posts about Swinney's unsuccessful efforts to get the tariff on whisky exports to the USA reduced one might have thought Starmer's success in getting the whisky tariffs to China halved might have been acknowledged. No, just silence, not really about whisky!

In any other country, if a government minister fabricated evidence over hospital deaths, they’d be gone. In SNP Scotland? They shrug and carry on as normal. Absolutely Scandalous.

So campaign for the UK to re-join then, or, if you're serious about secession & joining as a new state, then tell us how you'll meet the economic requirements on deficit, monetary independence etc needed to qualify. Unless & until you can explain that, haud yer wheesht.

Brexit has left us poorer, less secure and more exposed. Scotland should not accept that future. Our prosperity and security lie in rejoining the European Union, working closely together with our partners as an equal member.

We should collectively fine the WASPI several hundred billion for wasting everyones time and use the money to cancel student debt.

For crying out loud, cancel this ridiculous boondoggle and pay the WASPI women their compensation instead.

Can we all just put this #waspi thing to bed now? The earliest 50s born women have been receiving their state pensions for 15 years now! And the youngest ones (who were only in their early 30s when the law to equalise women's state pension age with men's) are now all receiving

Women hit by changes to the state pension age say the decision shows "utter contempt" for their situation.

3.6 million women are not WASPI women. Do people genuinely believe 3.6 million women ALL missed the news about THE most controversial change to women's state pension age, ever? 3.6m women never read a newspaper, watched TV news, didn't find out from friends/family/work? Behave.

Rare moment of genuine drama at FMQs as Anas Sarwar produces evidence which undermines John Swinney’s evasions on the QEUH scandal.

No compensation for WASPI women confirmed. Hopefully that will be the end of it considering most are claiming their state pension by now & older generations would be breathing fire if younger people pulled a stunt like asking for compensation for not knowing their own SPa.

Is it any surprise SNP ministers are running scared of questions on their court case to allow men into women's prisons, when these are the woeful answers they produce? If they cannot defend it in Parliament, they have no business arguing it in court.

Doesn’t matter if your child dies by the hand of the SNP their internalised madness won’t allow them to look in the mirror. Fucking psycho monsters the lot of them. A lesson to be learned here.

Gill Sturgeon accusing a grieving mother of “political point scoring” for asking how her child died in a public hospital. Some of the comments are even worse. @tractorgirly @TheMistressRox @AgentP22

If you are the kind of person who has witnessed the trail of bodies left in Sturgeon’s wake during her time in power and still thinks she is anything else other than a dangerous sociopath you need help. She plotted to do over her mentor, her husband and a colleague’s widow.

Just to be clear Sturgeon set the dogs on the wife of a close colleague who died at the QEUH. A close colleague’s grieving widow. If you think for one minute the health board did this in secret you are ignoring twenty years of SNP bullying and control. But carry on.
