And for all unionists, you can back the fuck up too. Just because I think the SNP is going down the drain doesn't mean I don't believe Scotland shouldn't regain her independence.
Why is this man doing Putin's bidding by causing further division and attacking a woman who runs a children's charity that works in Ukraine and is currently trying to help those children in a war that Putin started by invading Ukraine?
When JK Rowling sat in that cafe all those years ago, there’s no way she could have known she’d one day be endorsed by Vladimir Putin. Never give up on your dreams.

Just because some women decide to opt out, it doesn't mean we should lose our collective language to describe ourselves and our lives. If we can't name ourselves as a sex class then we can't fight for our rights as a sex class.
If this venue can be coerced by staff to cancel a show that some staff object to on the grounds of who is speaking, then I wouldn't trust them not to pull any show, how can promoters, production companies and bookers have any confidence in them?

There are two reactions to the multiple missteps threatening to derail the SNP and all its works: you can go into full on blame "we told you so" mode, or you can work out how best to protect the Indy family.
Just got a text from British Gas telling me engineers are coming next month to install a smart meter. I didn't request this and I don't want one. Can I refuse?
Why would you want to be the official opposition in Westminster? The whole point is to NOT be in Westminster, but for Scotland to be an independent country again!
See the people who are leaking and spinning conversations / videos of what should be confidential conversations and decisions of the SNP should resign now. You have not put the interests of the SNP first. Go now. Join the groups/ parties /media who hate the SNP. 1/2

Tommy Shepard just announcing that if the SNP lose next year it'll be the end of the independence journey. They still don't get that the movement was lending them their support in 2014 onwards, they still think SNP is the movement.
"So called hustings". A candidate for WM not attending a hustings because it's organised by a women's group. Oh well, if you don't respect our sex don't expect our X!
Bill Bonnar and the SSP are not attending a so-called hustings event in Rutherglen on Thursday.
Bill and the campaign team will be out on the streets as planned, speaking with voters about the socialist alternative in Rutherglen and Hamilton West.
2022 was a record year for North Sea oil and gas profits.
If Labour was in government right now, we’d be using a proper windfall tax on those profits to fund a Council Tax freeze this year.
Government is about choices. A Labour government will make fairer choices 🌹
Stop trying to change the UK, it's not what you and the rest of the SNP were elected to do. What happened to behaving as though we're in the early days of an independent nation. How about ignoring WM and opening Scotland's doors right now.
Exactly this. My

colleagues and I will continue to challenge the UK Gov’s hostile environment but the reality is they continue to match weak worlds with weak actions.
This needs to change so the UK can fully play its part and support those seeking safety.

When we eventually start traveling again I'm gonna wear a full length swishy coat, a huge hat and massive sunglasses, I shall sweep and swish through the airports with my Irish passport held aloft.
@NeilDrysdale
We can have an interest in both. A refusal by too many to look in our own back yard is what got us to this point. To live as though we are in the first days of a new nation means not pointing at everywhere else while pretending everything is fine in our own country.
@RoddyQC
So many seem unable to hear the young girl's own words. She accepted the lift because she thought he was a woman. How much more obvious can this be.
Complete misinformation. Scotland and Northern Ireland's water is publicly owned. Wales water is a not for profit company. Just as with free prescriptions it is England that's out of step. England is not the UK.
UK has the WORST water quality in Europe. We're also the only country in the WORLD which has privatised its entire water supply. Going well isn't it? Another shite Tory idea.

@jk_rowling
I have never ever condoned violence against women or anyone for that matter. No matter what views people hold I expect everyone to observe the law and anyone who doesn’t observe the law should be punished in the appropriate manner.
I was saying it’s ridiculous that people can…

Are you off your head? No, we haven't been sharing our spaces with these people for decades. I think we would have noticed.
Scottish independence is not about Sturgeon running an independent Scotland. It's about the people of Scotland running an independent country. Do you think Sturgeon will be in power in an independent Scotland indefinitely? Seriously!
Women For Independence is a modern, inclusive, intersectional feminist organisation. All of our members have signed up agreeing to the terms in our constitution, one of which clearly states that we are open to all self identifying women.

Well, now, then. There's probably a few things I'd question here. The rest of this, including minority government and the Green tail wagging the Yellow dog? Absolutely bang on.
When the Edinburgh Agreement was ratified in 2012 the SNP had 6 MPs and 20,000 members. This obsession with and lying about membership numbers isn't what you were elected to do. Having upwards of 50 MPs and 100k members hasn't helped anything, but has inflated egos.

I feel horrible.
I’ve been an active SNP member for over a decade, on the doors encouraging people to vote Indy + SNP.
I’ve given so much of my time + energy to the party + I’ve just watched Ash + Kate willingly throw it under a bus for their own short sighted ambitions.

Why is this so difficult? The LGB movement never demanded the rights of others or that the population literally believe a legal fiction.

I'm see at least 5 police officers trying to arrest an autistic teenage girl. This seems to have happened because the girl said one of the officers looked like a lesbian, like her own nana. Her mother told the officers the girl is autistic and an officer replied she didn't care.

I only learned today that New Zealand tops the chart for the worst in domestic abuse. It's self marketing vibe of a haven is total marketing pap.
Can anyone explain why this old data is so important? And why is the SNP not funding this if it is so important? And no, I'm not giving them another bean.

What does a women dress like in order to be considered a woman? Is she not a woman if she wears trousers? What century are you living in? Ellie is a man, he can wear what he wants but it doesn't give him the right to steal from women.
We watched this last night. Before you cast your vote please watch it too. Calm, considered and open, reminds me very much of what the SNP and Yes movement once were and could be again.
@CraigMurrayOrg
Therefore no women anywhere should enjoy themselves? These women should stop protecting women's rights too, so that women in countries with fewer protections and rights have no levels to aspire to and work towards?
