The UK Prime Minister continues to damage the very notion of public office and service.
Boris Johnson is a symptom of the rotting Westminster system - and independence in Europe offers Scotland the opportunity to restore decency in our democracy.
This looks a good spread and well timed from @heraldscotland. Amid the Westminster psychodrama, it’s worth reminding ourselves Scotland has a better path in a wider world with independence in Europe 🏴🇪🇺
RT @kacnutt: The Herald's spread on Scotland's Future looks absolutely smashing! Brilliant articles by David Clark on how Scotland can be a global leader, Julia Calvert on the new state's role in helping the world's poor and Ant…
Tories are in disarray – Scottish independence movement must focus, unite and win. This week’s @ScotNational column #buyapaper https://www.thenational.scot/politics/20258346.tories-disarray---scottish-independence-movement-must-focus-unite-win/
Ah come come, the SNP is always ready to fight a general election - and we would welcome one. We will fight it on the issue of independence, so Scotland can escape the damage of Westminster control for good.
RT @Dennynews: NEW: SNP MP Alyn Smith said his party was not backing calls for a snap general election.
“Our priority is an independence referendum, we’ve set out our timetable on how to achieve that," he told Sky News. https://…
Just filed tomorrow’s @ScotNational column on why I think it’s Game Over for PM Johnson. Hope it’s not out of date within five minutes of filing. Actually I do. #timetogo
If you're appalled at Westminster, remember Scotland has another path: independence in Europe 🏴🇪🇺
Come and be part of it http://www.snp.org/join
@F1tzy79 I’ve not read the book yet and presumably neither have you, yes I agree we need a proper discussion in Scotland about slavery because we’ve not come to terms with it, but I’ll wager the book will cover it fairly.
Looking forward to reading this 👇 📚
RT @P14Murray: The Global History is out 26 July. It identifies the network formation and drivers of Scottish society in that time. Why was Scotland for so long content in the Union, and why not now? These questions are answered @TanjaBueltmann @PeterKGeoghegan @AlynSmith @eddireader @LeaskyHT
Great message here at the right time 👍🏻 #RefugeesWelcome
RT @ChrisStephens: Well done @RozaSalih . Strong message on tonight's Channel 4 Political Slot. #RefugeesWelcome
A craven betrayal of the most vulnerable. Scotland’s only route back to the EU is independence in Europe 🏴🇪🇺
Good reporting from @ashcowburn
RT @ashcowburn: He says “Britain will not go back into the EU
We will not be joining the single market. We will not be joining a customs union.”
“Now, I know some people don’t want to hear that, but it is my job to be frank and honest - you will always get that with me.”
A happy #FourthofJuly to all our American friends 🏴🇺🇸
RT @ScotGovUSA: Happy #4thofJuly to all Americans! Scotland and America share many wonderful connections and today is a great day to celebrate them! 🎆🇺🇸🎆
RT @ScotNational: German MEP Terry Reintke said an independent Scotland would be welcomed in the EU
An important article from @Dr_PhilippaW on EU-UK relations, and how Scotland wants no part of the UK government’s disastrous antics. https://www.politicshome.com/thehouse/article/northern-ireland-protocol-bill-eu-uk-trade-war-scotland
Tell you what, a great response at Pride London for @theSNP @LondonSNP @OutForIndy. Proud to march, and proud to be in a Party that works for equality for everyone, everywhere. #loveislove
RT @LondonSNP: Really proud to be joined by @KarenAdamMSP and @AlynSmith and our piper David as we start our #pride march 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️ 🏴 🇪🇺
Great atmosphere already at @PrideInLondon, great to be here with @LondonSNP @theSNP @OutForIndy Now’s the time to be vocal about everyone’s equality, everywhere. #loveislove
@johnd_uk @Dr_PhilippaW To *the rest of* Europe, but yes absolutely agree. The EU is busily joining up the extremities and we could be part of it.
On way (back to London, if not yet home) from Brussels buzzing after a few great days of meets with @Dr_PhilippaW, old friends and new. Scotland just *belongs* in the EU. It is illogical and uncomfortable that we’re not. Independence in Europe is our best future 🏴🇪🇺
@TalkingMats Thanks, team game! I’m presently in Brussels between meetings where I have been talking about precisely that issue in fact.
