Think for myself. I get more left wing as I get older. Always independence. Don't suffer fools gladly. Retired nurse ( RMN). No DMs unless I give consent and automatic block if you do it anyway. Block for anyone who asks for money. This is not the place.

No to both votes SNP. The SNP are polling for zero list seats. What use is that to the movement? You get more pro-indy MSPs by voting as follows: #SNP1SGP2 or #SNP1Greens2 NOT #BothVotesSNP All regions. FPTP Proviso: If the Scot Greens are polling to win, vote SGP1.

SNP projected to win majority of constituencies and zero List seats Don't waste your list vote: SNP both votes grants Yoonies free list seats. Vote SNP 1 and SGP 2 for an Indy majority and to keep Deform UK off the List. Vote sensibly not loyally 🏴🇪🇺🏴

It's beyond irony that SNP still push both votes knowing they will get zero List seats due to the D'Hondt formula For an Indy majority and to keep Deform UK off the List, vote SNP 1 and Scottish Greens 2. 70% Indy majority in Holyrood is internationally significant at UN decolonisation process
Dundee, Angus and Aberdeen - busy day speaking to people about our plan to help with the cost of living, improve our NHS and deliver the fresh start of independence. On May 7th, make it #BothVotesSNP.

We need a public inquiry into sexual offences committed by the clergy ====== ‘Parents were left "disgusted" after a priest urged them to pray for a convicted sex offender during mass. Families were urged to pray for former parish priest, Father Stephen Baillie, who was convicted of sexual assault’

Source: Ayr Advertiser search.app/51uNz Why on earth would the SNP sell Prestwick just as its profitable and expanding? The private sector will run it down, build up debts to pay dividends,and expect a future Scottish government to bail them out. Look at the English water companies and think again.

Labour has dangerous plans for NHS Scotland & would introduce privatisation by the back door. Meanwhile Reform UK is hostile to the very concept of free universal healthcare. Only an SNP led Scottish Govt will protect NHS Scotland from the private sector. weegingerdug.wordpress.com/2026/03/08/l...

Dream scenario. You can only get this with a #TwoPartyStrategy 👇 bsky.app/profile/radi...
Below we have the dream scenario. If all SNP & SGP voted #SNP1SGP2, we could get 93 pro-indy seats, a whopping 57 seat supermajority. In 2011, the SNP got 16 list MSPs. In 2021, two. Their vote is down by a QUARTER since 2021. They can't improve on that! Only the SGP can do well on the list vote.

"Problem with voting SNP1/SNP2 is that it risks getting no Indy majority at all, whereas SNP1/SG2 is far more likely to result in a pro-Indy majority." Agree with @indyposterboy.scot . It's SNP1 / SG2 for me as well.

That’s what I’ll be doing!
An #SNP1SGP2 vote in May could be a triple whammy. It has the potential to . . . 1) Maximise pro-Indy seats 2) Reduce Unionist MSPs 3) Prevent Reform winning enough seats to be the official opposition. We've got just 8 weeks to get that information out to voters. #Scotland #Holyrood26

If I was @zackpolanski.bsky.social, I would be pointing out to the BBC that whatever model they use to justify giving Farage & his boot-lickers season tickets for every BBC show under the sun must surely now treat Green Party politicians in exactly the same way. Might even be one for the lawyers...

Keir Starmer as a leader has a rare ability not found in many. He can identify a position, then backtrack, compromise, do a U-turn & stand on his head, and then abandon it. Net result: Starmer ends up respected & supported by no one & despised & disliked by nearly everyone.
BREAKING: Keir Starmer has given US permission to use UK bases to launch “defensive” airstrikes against Iran - destroying its missiles “at source” to prevent them firing across region.

Fascinating anecdote from A.N. Wilson today in the Mail. 20 years ago the brother of the editor of the newspaper he worked for became a foreign ambassador. Then the late Queen & Prince Philip came to visit the country & left behind a pile of expenses for their official trip. HT @willoyd.bsky.social
