So proud of my girl 😍⛸

Congratulations to Hannah S3 who competed in figure skating at Tayside Trophy International. She achieved a PB and a score to allow her to move from level 2 up to level 3 while also securing 3rd place! Well done Hannah we are so impressed with your routine! @EastwoodHighERC

Yet again money that could be used elsewhere in Scotland is being consumed to mitigate bad policies from Westminster. There will be those that talk down this decision. But ask yourself, what are Labour doing about it in England and Wales? Hoping for milder winters 🤷🏻‍♂️?

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 It's the SNP that is delivering for Scotland by fixing Labour's winter fuel crisis. 🥀 Labour promised "change", but instead they delivered more of the same by betraying pensioners.

We can't quite believe that the Crown Office hasn't decided on the Peter Murrell case despite receiving the report on May 23rd. That's over six months ago. Could they really take this into next year? A decision was supposed to be weeks away and that was several months ago.

SNP Westminster leader @StephenFlynnSNP: "If you see a scam, you should report it. With that in mind, can the Prime Minister advise the House, is he aware of anyone who has promised to reduce energy bills only for them to increase?" #PMQs

Winter Fuel Allowance thread. Labour are lying their little hearts out about this. It's the modern game of politics, fill every forum with nonsense so it feels impossible to find the truth. But the facts are clear, so hold onto them.


Lesley 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ⛸🥅🏒 ⛸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Reposted

This isn't the heroic play Scottish Labour think it is. If they want to do the right thing, speak to your UK Labour Government and tell them to reverse their decision. The onus isn't on the Scottish Government.

BREAKING: Scottish Labour have announced they'll force a vote to get the Scottish Government to reinstate the Winter Fuel Payment. It comes after the UK Labour Government decided to scrap the universal benefit.

Right wingers stamping their feet saying Call A General Election Tell you what.... Let's have a Rejoin the EU referendum at the same time? Six million people signed that petition

🧵Call a General Election? A 2016 petition calling on the Govt to have a threshold on the EU referendum got more than FOUR MILLION signatures. A 2019 petition calling on the Govt to revoke Article 50 & remain in the EU got more than SIX MILLION signatories. Both were ignored.

If Scotland had a functioning media Anas Sarwar’s political career would have been over long ago. But here we are, crowning him in already.


Lesley 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ⛸🥅🏒 ⛸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Reposted

Think he missed the one where 6.2m people signed for the revocation of Article 50 and for the UK to remain in the EU... 🤦‍♀️😡

This petition has already reached 750,000 signatures in 24 hours. It won’t be long before it passes 1 million. I’ve never seen anything like it. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7001…

Could you imagine if we had voted yes in 2014. We would be inside the EU laughing smugly at what was happening to the rest of the UK as the cancer that is Brexit sunk the economy and everyone was jealous of Scotland.

This is the reality check that is needed. Please share widely and educate people about the legacies Westminster administrations have left Scotland. None of them good. #IndependenceForScotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It's clear to me, that Scotland will not win independence until those on both sides, who perpetuate the Salmond Sturgeon debacle grow the fuck up and put Scotland first.

Good to see. When the full history of the last decade is written, I believe the attempts to smear Alex Salmond reputation will be seen for what they were and he will be widely recognised as the greatest politician of his generation and a sadly lost leader.

If it had been an SNP minister who had not just 'over egged' but strait out lied about their job history the media would gone into a hysterical meltdown demanding resignations. Instead we have silence.


Lesley 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ⛸🥅🏒 ⛸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Reposted

No it is you who peddles half truths. The power was devolved, then the funding for it, per capita, in its removal from England meant it was directly removed by a Labour Govt FOR Scotland - and nearly ALL Scottish Labour MPs backed its removal, some never even voted at all.


Lesley 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ⛸🥅🏒 ⛸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Reposted

So we spent £70m to ensure a disgraced, paedophile protecting Archbishop placed a £45m crown on a lazy, tax dodging billionaires head ? Yet we can't heat our elderly, house our vulnerable, or feed our poorest kids ? Does nobody else see a problem with this ? #AbolishTheMonarchy

A year ago this month Sir Keir Starmer was punishing his Labour colleagues who voted in support of an immediate ceasefire motion in the Commons. What a historic failure of judgement and moral leadership. #Gaza bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

The news that people inheriting land worth at least £1 million will have to pay tax on it has drawn significantly more outrage from politicians and the press than the news that 1 in 3 children in Britain are now living in poverty.


Lesley 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ⛸🥅🏒 ⛸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Reposted

This is really scandalous. Shines a whole different light on the suggestion that Sarwar is in charge of anything, and the separation of "Scottish" and WM Labour parties is a complete joke. @anassarwar is a rules taker not a rules maker. Still think he will reinstate the WFP?

Following an FOI request by @theSNP, the Labour UK government confirmed that the Chancellor held ZERO meetings with Labour MSPs ahead of the budget. That includes their leader in Scotland, Anas Sarwar. They didn't just fail to stand up for Scotland - they didn't even try.

A country of only 5 million people, with an abundance of natural resources, that countries double our size, would literally die for, should not be trying to manage a budget, decided by another country. The Union doesn’t work for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, we work for it.
