Branch. I am extremely grateful for this opportunity and to those who nominated and seconded me. I will work hard for the branch members and for independence!

Conference! For my first Conference I thoroughly enjoyed all of it! Thank you to everyone I met for the first time and all the old friends I saw as well. I’m excited for the future of the SNP and independence all in all!
Great to be out supporting the amazing candidate for Edinburgh North & Leith

It is vital Deidre is reelected to keep a strong voice for the constituency and Scotland!

A great time out in Leith Walk branch today doing some leafleting during the sunny October weather! Spreading the positive word about the SNP before conference
#ActiveSNP
The Ash Regan interview on the BBC Sunday Show was an utter shambles, thank god for technical issues. She clearly doesn’t fully believe in herself or these “policies” speaking about. Regan would be BAD for the country and the independence movement if elected.

Last night, at the

AGM, I was proudly elected convener. I would like to thank
@StevenC797

Great to be out on the doors again, hearing lots of positivity about

@glenreynoldsSNP
Typical Tory tactics eyh Glen, the sooner you’re the MP for West Aberdeenshire & Kincardine, the better! To even suggest closure of a vital resource is sickening!
@AndrewBowie_MP
Mr Bowie, what have you done for Aboyne or Finzean or Dinnet? I find it hard to find any of your achievements for the constituents, it seems as if you only want to further your personal goals.
I have happily nominated
@HumzaYousaf
for leader of The SNP and First Minister of Scotland. We need a FM to champion equality and rights for all, someone who has a progressive vision of Scotland and believes in the independence dream that Nicola and others fought so hard for!

Kate Forbes backers.
She has been getting the support from some very questionable people, now the latest is Jacob Rees-Mogg.
Is this not ringing alarm bells?
During all the uncertain times at the moment,
@theSNP
candidates for FM still beat Sarwar and Ross! The SNP are the only party that the public trust to lead Scotland and take the country forward
#SNP
NEW: John Swinney is the preferred choice to replace Humza Yousaf as first minister among SNP voters, but the public back Kate Forbes in the role, according to new polling from Ipsos.
Both are seen as better picks than Anas Sarwar or Douglas Ross.

Kate Forbes has made the correct decision, choosing to work with

to unite the party and independence movement. This is an important moment in

@LaurenOxleyx
Extremely well said Lauren, it ain’t anything against the person but the views that they’ve previously expressed. Couldn’t of said it better myself!
Awful decision. Not only harms trans people but undermines the union.
Whilst I think the UK is stronger together, I really don’t blame Scotland for wanting to leave
🗞️ « Kate Forbes shouldn’t have said that »
This is the headline the French
@HuffPost

Kate Forbes’ comments are making international headlines.
I can’t see how her leadership campaign can go on without seriously damaging our party and our cause .
@AndrewBowie_MP
Andrew, have you tried the tap water in your constituency? Deeside tap water is the best in the world, why would you want to buy bottled anways?!
She’s done, ally’s and people that identify with the LGBTQ+ community cannot stand by and let this behaviour continue. I know people of many different faiths and beliefs that think conversion therapy should be banned. Religion should not coincide with human and equal rights.
NEW:
SNP leadership candidate Kate Forbes has said in any ban on gay or trans conversion therapy, freedom of practice of faith groups should be defended.
I attended this fringe event at

Was great joining other students and listening to

Constantly showing that you are one of the most competent MPs for Scotland John! You are a credit to the SNP and what I aspire to work towards being!
Just a reminder of the make up of Fife Council:
🟡 SNP: 34
🔴 Lab: 20
🟠 Libs: 13
🔵 Con: 8
Labour run Fife Council even though they had their worse election result ever in Fife last year. They only succeed because of their coalition partners in the Lib Dems and Tories.
🗳️ Labour lead by 27pts. Tories would win just 26 MPs (-339).

The budget debate today from

was frankly embarrassing. After having a Councillor formally resign and then being forced to vote through the Lib Dem’s motion instead of their own!
#YouYesYet

Minority Lab administration in Edinburgh now forced into implementing another party’s (LibDems)budget motion, having seen their own budget proposals rejected in the annual budget debate motion. V sticky situation for them. Will be interesting to see how they react.
@EdinburghSNP
@LaurenWitzkeDE
Scotland does not condone your racism and GOP views on our politicians. There’s bigger fish to fry in America so leave us alone 🏴
No they haven’t 🤣 The only thing Labour/ScotLabour will do for Scotland is refuse the country to fully prosper as an independent nation. Once again Anas Sarwar speaking absolute nonsense!
The man tore the country out of the EU, then once he lost he resigned.
7 years later, given life peerage and one of the top jobs in the country, due to the fact he’s what? Reliable?
The man resigned in an instant and left the country in a lurch.
Deplorable, independence now!
An amazingly interesting fringe event that I’m extremely glad I went to. The possibility to eradicate HIV in Scotland by 2030 is possible and important

🔴 NEW: The Illegal Migration Bill has been published.
Suella Braverman has made a Section 19.1b statement that she is unable to say the bill is compatible with the Human Rights Act.
The Government "nevertheless" wishes to proceed.
I’m extremely happy to support Euan in his WM campaign. He is a strong advocate for not only the west of Edinburgh but the city as a whole and I’m sure that he will stand up for Scotland effectively!
Westminster policies on reserved matters like Energy and the Economy are failing communities throughout 🏴 and Edinburgh. I look forward to highlighting my priorities for Edinburgh West over coming months as I stand for election here
#GeneralElectionN0W
Great episode overall but
@EuanHyslop
constantly shows that he is the right person to represent Edinburgh West no matter what issue! To properly represent Scotland

I highly encourage others whatever your beliefs, sexuality, gender to follow suit and help
@HumzaYousaf
become the next First Minister of Scotland. He is the person the country deserves!
@HumzaYousaf
is a compassionate leader who passionately led

for being our leader!
@AshReganALBA
@AlbaParty
You’re a total embarrassment to the cause of Independence! All you’re doing is dividing the movement, not uniting it at all! All 4 of you are unelected, undemocratic and undermining the will of the people of voted for you!

Conference yesterday. It will help us build a robust reputation and show the world that Scotland can!
I’m glad that this resolution was passed but feel absolutely disgusted by the United Kingdom abstaining! The way the UK is acting towards the innocent people in this situation is not representative of the view of the rest of the country and I am sure of that! We need a ceasefire!

I don’t understand how he thinks this statement makes any sense at all! Not even as one of the 4 “countries” of the UK? By his logic let’s just make it all England then, dissolving the Parliament of SCOTLAND and ensuring he is unemployed effectively. No thanks LibDems.
