According to Forbes the UK is the 4th wealthiest in the world. Do you see this wealth? The wealth lies in the hands of a few. The 4th wealthiest and we have children growing up in poverty

Scotland has a surplus of renewable energy. This surplus will soon be wiped out with the proposed AI data centres. England imposes higher tariffs and connection fees and want to build nuclear power plants. We don’t need either. Take back control of our energy with independence

Whilst our energy bills today increases by £200 the UK government is happy to help pay for the energy bills of AI data centres. The same data centres that will be responsible for future energy rises due to the demand on the grid

Westminster owned unionist seats could drop due to voter apathy amid the current UK political chaos but low turnout could also end up saving them. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻 A historic pro-independence majority is within reach and a high turnout would give it real legitimacy. 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝘃𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁

Labour came in promising to cut energy bills by £300. Now they’re almost £200 higher, and they trumpet a change that won’t even cover the increase since they took office. Is this really it?? Scotland deserves better than this chaos. A fresh start with independence. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

75 years ago, the ECHR was signed after the horrors of the war. Today, Nigel Farage and many Westminster politicians want to tear up the laws that protect our basic human rights. Our rights are not Westminster’s to take away. We will stand firmly against that.

This extra £25.5 million means more appointments, more procedures, more people getting care faster - part of £135.5 million invested this year to keep cutting waiting times.
NHS boards get £25.5 million boost to cut waiting times.” Subtext explains the funding will deliver more outpatient appointments and procedures across Scotland, helping reduce waits for patients.

Westminster’s called the shots for too long... but Scotland’s been watching. They said staying in the UK kept us in the EU. They said energy would be cheaper. They said we were a union of equals. Enough talk. It’s time to banish Westminster.
A cinematic-style image inspired by The Traitors TV show. Two hooded figures in green cloaks stand in front of 10 Downing Street, with flames rising at the bottom of the frame. Bold orange text on the left reads “The time for talk is over.” On the right, a person holds an envelope labelled “Westminster,” with the text “It’s time to banish Westminster” above it. The overall tone is dramatic, symbolising Scotland taking action and ending Westminster’s control.
