Great exposure of the corruption at the heart of British Banking. The fact that the Sustainable Growth Commission does not address this in its report is a fundamental weakness which the SNP leadership must make good. How can we have a sound currency without clean money?

@theSNP @ChristinaSNP Stop calling it the NHS . It just allows the BBC etc to lump our health service with rUK. Scotland has always had a separate health service. So start calling it Scotland’s Health Service.

@AlexNeilSNP that’s not what the legislation says. What you quote is a police interpretation which is not the law. The police don’t decide when a crime is committed. The courts do if there is a prosecution.

@joannaccherry @theSNP the challenge is converting that support to delivering independence. the SG must extend the devolution powers to their limit by raising public funding using s 80I of the Scotland Act and decline the Block Grant.Much more can be raised by AGFRR

@joannaccherry AGR will make land available so everyone can have an acre or two to build their huts and reconnect with our land, and at no cost to the public purse. If land owners wish to avoid paying the AGR there only option will be to release the land they can't make a profit on.

@DAJCameron Post COVID there will be private claims from the families of people who died in care homes. As a result any enquiry will not reach conclusions until these cases are processed through the courts, so the cost of starting an enquiry now is a waste of public funds.
