314 years ago today Scotland and England became the United Kingdom. Only 110 Scots voted for it. Let that sink in 🤔

- If you live in Scotland, remember Douglas Ross takes his instructions from Rishi Sunak, Anas Sarwar takes his instructions from Keir Starmer, Alex Cole-Hamilton takes his instructions from Ed Davey, but John Swinney takes his instructions from YOU #VoteSNP
- And then he quoted Kermit the Frog in his address to the United Nations !
- I've always voted either SNP/Green or SNP/ALBA in Holyrood elections. If either the @scottishgreens or @AshReganALBA vote with the BritNats against @HumzaYousaf , I'll never vote for either of them again. Like and RT if you agree? #ScottishIndependence
- Had to be taken to hospital during the week. Ambulance arrived in 6 minutes, took 9 minutes to get there. Seen immediately by a "crash team" of specialist staff. Got a CT scan within the hour. We must save our Scottish NHS, we must get #ScottishIndependence
- This is Melanie Ward, the new @UKLabour MP for, Cowdenbeath & Kirkcaldy, (she lives in London). She just voted in favour of keeping the Tory's Rape Clause 2 Child Benefit Cap, despite @AnasSarwar opposing it. #NoChangeLabour
- Do you detest the Tories and everything they stand for? Please RT for a large sample
- Have you noticed that the slightest failure of the Scottish Government is weaponised by the media as an argument against Scottish independence, but you never hear the many failures of the UK government being used as arguments against the union 🤔
- So according to Labour, the SNP should have been prepared for the £22 billion black hole that Labour knew nothing about 🙄
- So, despite the UK being £2.6 TRILLION in debt, England insists that it subsidises Scotland, whilst refusing us the choice to leave and save them some money. Does anyone actually believe this pish? 🤷
- Why was the English national anthem played at a Scotland Ireland friendly match anyway? What's wrong with the Irish national anthem?
- Labour has 2 MPs who claim to be Scottish. Yesterday, both of them voted against the Scottish people's right to self-determination. What's a word for people who work against their own country's independence and sovereignty? 🤔.
- If you're Scottish, and are considering voting Lib Dem, why?
- I honestly don't understand Scottish people who don't want Scottish independence, I mean, can you imagine an Italian, for example, saying, "I don't believe Italy should be an independent country"? These people aren't Scottish, they're British Nationalists🤷 #ScottishIndependence
