2 problems with the "Yes/No" graph;
1. The SNP regularly sponsor their own polls, IPSOS in particular. Robertson used to use Business Scotland for this - heavily biased.
2. If "Remain/Leave" questions are asked, the results are dramatically different.
4. There is no mandate

Watching BBC programme on Robert McCartney murder. Totally needless brutal murder simply to demonstrate that IRA had total brutal control.
A murder witnessed by about 70 people who saw nothing.
Did community back the McCartney family, no. They backed the IRA.

this is huge - who would vote for independence knowing it would result in all of your cash at bank being forcibly converted into a new Scottish currency and strict capital controls being enforced which would prevent you from moving money out of the country?
David Griffiths retweeted
Tim Rideout always insisted a new currency could be established with conversion of deposits purely voluntary. But Laurentjoye’s report kills that idea (it always was mad). Deposits convert automatically “without the consent of each customer”. Good luck selling that to voters…

Astounding Sunday Times investigation reveals new scandal in SNP’s Socialist Scotland:
800 NHS, central government, council and quango workers whose jobs no longer exist but remain on the public payroll because of the SNP’s ‘no public-sector redundancy’ policy.
Estimated cost of paying people to do nothing: £27m a year.
One NHS Highland worker has been receiving a full salary and benefits for 17 years despite not having a specific job.
The health board refused to say what the worker had been doing for almost two decades and how much they had been paid.
Likely cost to the taxpayer is expected to be far higher with several public bodies refusing to disclose salaries for hundreds of the workers awaiting redeployment.

Within Sinn Féin’s ranks lies the answer to Robert McCartney’s brutal murder. His family’s quest for justice continues. Those who know the truth must come forward. No more silence. No more excuses.
No one has ever been held to account for Robert McCartney's murder, but a new documentary shows that his sisters are still campaigning for justice 21 years later.

The local MLA pretending to be in the toilet when the murder happened hasn’t helped. It also didn’t help that 72 people also claimed to be in a 4 by 3 ft toilet.

Major investigation from The Sunday Times - the Scottish state is paying a minimum of £27m a year to around 800 public sector workers, in the NHS, councils, police etc who do not have a job, but they cannot be made redundant owing to SNP policy

I see John Finucane calls the murder of his father and Rosemary Nelson against Sir DAvid Davis for his comments. How comes republicans never mention the murders of solicitors Rory O'Kelly and Edgar Graham when siting violence against solicitors?

Pro-independence podcaster submits thorny FOI to Scottish gov and ... is offered a sit down with civil servants to help work it out
Pro-union think tank asks for civil servant meeting to assist its FOI. Hard no.
Bespoke service for some but not others?

Energy can be the sector that powers economic growth and secures well paid jobs in Scotland.
Jackdaw is a key development in Scotland’s reindustrialisation.
This is a pragmatic decision that puts industry before ideology. It’s the right decision.

🔴 NEW: The Jackdaw gas field in the North Sea has been approved by the UK government
When I asked First Minister John Swinney last week if he backed the projects, he refused to give me a straight answer and laid out an energy strategy with no mention of drilling 👇

Michéal Martin to Sinn Féin today:
"I won't take lectures from you, a party that once supported Nazism in WW2. Sinn Féin leaders colluded with the Hitler regime, and Sean Russell was the key person, and your party leader, Mary Lou McDonald, unveiled a statue to Sean Russell".

In 1987, at Loughgall, the SAS stopped eight murderous IRA killers.
The actions of the SAS that day no doubt saved innocent lives. Yet now, decades after the event, our brave veterans face relentless legal persecution.
Here's what really happened on that day in 1987👇🏻

The value of all residential mortgages in Scotland is approximately £84 billion.
So the Scottish banks are going to swiftly raise that enormous sum, then use it to turn £ contracts into S£ contracts, only to watch the S£ depreciate.
Worst business plan in history.

And, apparently making huge wealth from operating busses and charging the public is not “obscene” rather wholly acceptable, provided one supports and, crucially, DONATES to the SNP. Correct Brian Souter? Correct @murrayf00te ?
Many thought Murrell & Sturgeon had their best interests at heart. One amassed obscene (by any definition) wealth, the other apparently remains able to enjoy some of the fruits of it, on the back of “charging” the SNP. One’s in prison and the other is…well, watch this space. @murrayf00te

Today’s court reveals that the reasoning for stopping for the parade was the threat of nationalist violence. This fundamentally undermines the whole suggestion this was some peaceful resident’s gathering. It was not. It was a mob.
David Griffiths retweeted
No wonder @theSNP and @scottishgreens want to leave X. It’s the platform that on a daily basis calls them out for the useless grifters that they are. A despicable cabal of failures that are dragging this country down.
