SNP CONFERENCE The greatest asset to Swinney, Scots and the cause of Scotland's tragically delayed civil rights, is Hotairman Andy Burnham, a man who popped up to Scotland on a day-return, man-o-the-people, first-class ticket @andyburnham @JohnSwinney @TheSNP
"My message to John is simple, I want to push economic power out into the regions of Scotland, do you?" Andy Burnham challenges Scotland's First Minister John Swinney to "push power" out from Westminster and Holyrood "into the hands of local people" bbc.in/4yl7lNX

But for the broad shoulders of the Union, Scotland would be as poor as Norway.

Norway funnels over $400 million annually into into national youth sports with a substantial portion dedicated to football. Norway has a $2.2 trillion sovereign wealth fund. Scotland has no sovereign wealth fund. Norway is independent, Scotland is not. Spot the difference.

Labour's next leader is threatening to take power away from Holyrood. As expected, BBC BritNat is framing it it as a good thing. This is what we mean when we say Scotland is defenceless against colonial attacks. Our media is run from England. Poison is actually medicine.

Apparently Burnham is a fan of the "nations and regions" approach laid out in the Brown Commission which came out in 2022. That's were the "nations" Scotland, Wales and N.I. get treated at the same level as English regions. The nation which isn't included in the phrase is England
🚨 EXC: Andy Burnham wants to 'tear up' the Scottish Parliament's funding model @ScotNational reveals tonight The wannabe prime minister said the Barnett Formula gave Scotland 'protection' from austerity which was unfair on the north of England

With 33.7% of the vote in 2024 It's a Labour "landslide" and Labour can do anything With 37% of the vote in 2015 Tories decide they have the right to call a EU referendum in 2016 With 38.2% of the vote in 2026 SNP is told its not enough for an independence referendum

For the first time ever, there could be three nationalist, pro-Independence First Ministers across these islands. Historic change is happening. The demand for independence is growing.

The Labour Party (Scotland Branch) has said for 5 years that the SNP blames the UKG for everything. The same Labour Party is now claiming the UKG is to blame for their disastrous performance in the SP Election.

Grangemouth produced 97% of Scotland’s aviation fuel. We now have to import all our aviation fuel. Scotland is Europe's 2nd biggest oil producer. We now have to import all our oil products at inflated prices. Scotland: Asset-stripped. Wealth-extracted. Better-together? 🤔

BBC Scotland is seizing on any anti-SNP statement and pushing it to the top of the news agenda. Not reported by the station is the assistant head of the Scottish Fire Service accusing Anas Sarwar of spreading "inaccurate and alarmist" misinformation about the Glasgow fire.

You had to tune in to BBC Wales to find out about the attack on Scottish & Welsh devolution by the Labour Govt. Incredibly, this item focuses on SNP MP Stephen Gethins speaking in the House of Commons. BBC Scotland is operating a complete news blackout of this story. The station is not fulfilling its obligations to Scottish licence payers.

Do you remember, back in 2014, when our unionist chums persuaded a majority of Scots that the UK was a stable country where decency, human rights, respect for the rule of law, internationalism and standards in public life were cherished? Seems a long time ago. A generation, even.

Strange how the Oil Rich Country of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, only Oil Refinery, is deemed as not being viable. Yet the same oil will be piped to numerous English Refinery & then shipped back North at a higher price to Scottish consumers. What a subservient Nation the Scots’ have become!
