It’s Scotland’s Oil : while thousands of Scottish pensioners face the choice between heating or eating this winter, Scotland’s Oil price is on the up. Our vast wealth has already been mis-spent for decades by the Brits…and it continues to be. #$80barrel
What you could have won as an independent nation Scotland, as tiny independent Ireland delivers its massive surplus budget.
Meanwhile remaining in the Union means a 10% hike in energy bills, no cold weather payment, higher food costs & more austerity budgets.

Meanwhile in Independent Ireland.
Govt to record surplus of between €23bn-€24bn this year via @rte
Without a drop of oil, an island behind an island, this is what Independence means for Ireland - fashioning your own destiny, your own priorities and ensuring pensioners are not left in the cold. This is Scotland's prize, it's time to grasp it. #Yes
🗣️Peter Fanning - "We are angry that pensioners should be the first recourse of cutbacks and outraged that the health of many people will be jeopardised by the unexpected withdrawal of this money and the further 10 per cent rise in energy bills this winter."
🧵Big News! Indonesia, Sierra Leone, and the Solomon Islands have ratified the Treaty on the prohibition of Nuclear Weapons! 🎉 With these latest ratifications, there are now 73 states parties. #NuclearBan
Hear more from @SethShelden and @MelissaParke01 on what this means⬇️👏🥳
We are deeply saddened by the loss of our dear friend and long-standing branch member, Cllr Kenny McLean.
Kenny was a dedicated local councillor, an SNP stalwart, and a wonderfully kind man.
Our thoughts are with Kenny's family, and everyone who knew him.
RIP Kenny 🏴
The trade unions should now appreciate why @UKLabour aren’t taxing the super-rich. It’s because the leadership of @UKLabour ARE the super-rich. ⬇️
Concerned that it will affect their prospects at Holyrood. Not concerned that it could kill pensioners this winter.
Meanwhile Scottish Energy revenue disappears into the WM Treasury and Labour proffer the natives beads and trinkets.
Another interesting day at #ScottishCurrencyGroup Conference and thanks to @RideoutTim for organising. Today we heard from the former head of the Icelandic Central Bank @jon_helgi who offered his views on setting up our own currency. 👍
Nuclear posture and cyber threats: Why deterrence by punishment is not credible – and what to do about it
The United Kingdom’s latest nuclear doctrine suggests that severe cyber-attacks on their nation or critical infrastructure could provoke a nuclear response. Despite this,…
After extensive campaigning on late payments / poor payment practices with @DougChapmanSNP when he was a MP, I really hope this is not another fudge - will keep an open mind and look forward to reading the detail and SME reaction to the announcement @FSB_Scotland
The throwback of all throwbacks…. Now more than ever we need Scottish Independence. #youyesyet #ScottishIndependenceASAP 🏴
I joined the SNP in 1976 to campaign for independence. Since then it’s less about me and more about my children. Over the last ten years that now includes my grandchildren. Scotland’s independence is about creating a better future for us all.
Yes then, yes now, yes always 🏴
I won’t be the only one trawling through #YES memorabilia today. I hope that we never let down future generations ever again and that today strengthens our resolve to win what is rightfully ours - a country we can call our own #Scotland #IndependenceGeneration
Slipped Out Quietly : Labour’s non-devolved administration scraps the “Great British ISA” for savers as Reeves recognises that not even the Brits want to invest in the UK (On this day of all days - why should Scotland?)
Innovation park would be positive addition to Dunfermline, says MP
Great to hear @AndrewRBarr present his book on the Declaration of Arbroath and the fabulous Atlas of Scotland. He was speaking at the launch of the #BruceFestival which on in #Dunfermline this weekend ☀️@LoveDunfermline - a great day out!
First train out of Leven in over 50 years.
Culmination of a long and tireless community campaign by @LevenmouthRail 👏👏👏👏
"30, 40 years ago you'd think only Italians can make coffee - now you find some of the weirdest names but excellent (businesses) roasting and making coffee here in Scotland."

Great visit this morning to @ArdgowanHospice to see the two new family spaces which were recently refurbished thanks to the BigGive campaign. The campaign raised over £8,000 which was then matched by The Reed Foundation and McDonald’s in the Community.
