"NICOLA COUGHLAN. BRAVE, KIND, UNBOWED.
An Irish actress who didn't wait for permission to care. When Hollywood warned her to stay silent, she chose to stand taller instead. She went to Palestine, she saw the suffering firsthand, and she
refused to look away. Despite the threats, despite the pressure, despite the cost, she raised $2 MILLION for Palestinian children.
That is what courage looks like: kindness that refuses to be silenced. Compassion that is stronger than fear.
And a heart big enough to hold the whole world in it. Thank you, Nicola, you are beautiful inside and out.".

Something to chew over...
The SNP leadership cunningly has activists raging at Burnham for sticking to his principles.
BUT
That is just a distraction from asking why the SNP leadership won't use its levers for independence.

One month since Holyrood passed a vote "demanding" a referendum on independence.
And over a month since, 12 mins later Downing Street said NO referendum.
Any plans from SNP leadership? -while they ignore the obvious, as they will for more months -unless pro indy folk pressure.

Want a ref on Scottish indy?
Power to call a defacto ref is in the hands of SNP leadership.
Supreme Court blocked a ref, without a Sec30, cos even if it had "no legal consequences" it would have "authority" due to a "culture founded on democracy"
Defacto thus has authority🏴

The real victims of Murrell’s crimes are the ordinary Independence Supporters who gave their hard earned cash to the SNP with the express purpose of furthering the cause of independence. They will want to know how their donations could have been embezzled for so long without 1/6

December 2022 Rishi Sunak said this
“British is just shorthand for English”
I'm sure the Scottish Unionists and Scottish Conservatives would hate you to RT this
So please do not RT!

Against the odds, ordinary Scots funded a national campaign and helped us reach homes across the country with a message of hope for independence.
Now we build the next stage.
We’re launching our new crowdfunder and membership drive to grow a permanent grassroots movement for Scotland’s future, powered by people, not political insiders.
If you believe Scotland deserves another voice in the independence movement, now is the time to get involved.

They have the establishment.
We have each other.

1 @JohnSwinney @ScotGovFM has Parliamentary support to seek a s30. If that is refused, he must unite the #Independence movement in a convention, use the power in the hands of 🏴’s people and declare a Scottish election which is a de facto referendum. Much has changed in 3 years.
🗣 "We must have that General Election on a #ScotlandUnited ticket."

You cannot secede from a state that does not exist! i.e. The legal identity of the U.K. is that of England in every constitutional aspect, Crown to government to Parliament to constitutional doctrine and practice. Scotland at least - and probably Ireland and Wales too - cannot secede from England nor from any invalid or inoperative (ToU) treaties. The route is restoration of a never lawfully transferred sovereignty and constitutional resumption.

Scotland, the "energy capital" of Europe.
Scotland, the most energy rich country in Europe.
Scotland, the highest levels of energy poverty in Europe.
Scotland cannot prosper in a union that is designed to exploit people, extract wealth & leave the poorest dependent on handouts.

🕛 Noon today.
How did "both votes SNP" a strategy born of loyalty did we end up with Reform UK getting 17 list seats?
A difficult conversation for anyone who wants independence. We look at the arithmetic.
Orwell might have called it the corruption of language dressed as rebellion.
Set a reminder. 👇

As @indyscotnews said: some in the SNP have become the antithesis of the inclusive 2014 Yes movement, hateful, entitled, attacking other pro-indy parties.
Trouncing? We're 3 months old, we only came into focus a few weeks before the election. The SNP got 1 list seat after a decade. Reform got 17.
Now the SNP needs the Greens for a 'pro-indy majority', the same Greens who took two SNP constituency seats.
That majority is a sham. Built on a party that cannibalises SNP seats and buries independence under a load of other priorities.
We're new. You're deflecting from a decade of failure
