🏴 Mhairi Black 🏳️🌈 on top form as ever, at the #SNPIndyConvention. "Since 1939, 62 countries gained independence from Westminster - and not a single one has ever asked to come back." Let's keep up the hard work, stay focused, and ensure Scotland is the 63rd!

BBC’s Jo Coburn: “The Jewish community, maybe as a whole, feels very intimidated by this crowd chanting ‘ceasefire’” She refers to a sit-in at Liverpool St station, calling for a ceasefire. What she fails to mention is that it was co-organised by Jewish groups. #politicslive

📺 Audience member on #bbcdn, who moved to Scotland from England, talks about her comparative experience in the two nations and says the NHS is much better in Scotland. “Here, I can’t fault the NHS, they’re wonderful”. Not comfortable viewing for the Tories and Labour…

This is what leadership looks like. John Swinney in front of an English audience, calmly explaining why Scotland must have the choice over its own future - and why it’s wrong for Westminster parties to deny it. It’s common sense - met with applause by the York audience. #bbcqt

Six months ago, the SNP first promised GP walk-in centres. Four of them are already open, with the fifth opening this week. The SNP has a plan to deliver 30 across Scotland. Other parties shout over John Swinney and try to stop him from making it easier for you to see a GP.

🔥 Bloody well said, Lesley Riddoch! While Norway (now the richest nation in the world) was investing its oil revenues into a gigantic wealth fund, Margaret Thatcher squandered the money. Scotland could’ve had an oil fund, but this is the price of not being independent.

🔥 Humza Yousaf eviscerates Douglas Ross’ hypocrisy on the NHS. His UK Tory government imposed a 3% cut on England’s NHS and had weeks of strikes. In Scotland, the SNP has just increased the NHS budget in real terms and there’s not been a single day lost to strikes. #FMQs

🎯 Stephen Flynn MP: "When Nigel Farage tells you all that migrants are making you poorer and they’re the problem, don’t believe him. The biggest problem facing the UK economy right now is his pet project of Brexit. What makes it worse is that Labour backs it." #ITVDebate

Why on earth is Anas Sarwar so desperate to stop John Swinney from cutting food prices? Weak, weak, weak.

To govern is to choose, and the SNP Government has put its money where its mouth is. The SNP has increased tax on the highest earners to increase funding for our NHS - while all Labour offers is soundbites and austerity. 👏 Every single word from John Swinney is spot on.
