I’m fed up with the Westminster system that means hard work delivers less and less, while people’s energy and food costs just keep going up. The fresh start of independence would mean we can use Scotland’s resources to benefit Scotland’s people. #BothVotesSNP on May 7th. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We are the highest taxed in the UK. Hard work doesn’t pay for a lot of us. Why should I pay more than £500 a month extra because you favour the workshy ?

“Hard work delivers less and less”. The SNP is taxing hard working Scots higher than any other part of the UK, so sit doon and stop treating voters like eejits, ya clown.

The absolute hypocrisy of this is staggering. The harder I work in Scotland the more income tax I pay. You literally reward mediocrity. Scotland deserves so much better than you and the SNP.

My hard work delivers less and less for me because you and your fellow muppets in the SNP take so much tax from me and redistribute it to complete strangers who are unemployable, layabout, dregs of society thick and gullible enough to vote SNP.

John, this is utter crap! What is the economic/fiscal plan for an iScot? What would you do to reduce deficit, it’s accumulated debt over time & the inherited debt we would 100% inherit? You are playing to the idiots who think we send more to our UK than we get back, which as you know is UTTER rubbish. Be honest John & share with us the economic reality of losing the benefits of us being part of our UK. Your pathetic cry of rejoining (actually it would be joining as our UK were members not Scotland) the EU is sheer fantasy based on economic Acquis joining rules. The reality is Indy would deliver decades of mega austerity & damage our public services in a disastrous way - start telling the truth rather than peddling pish 😡

Colonialism is a scourge according to the United Nations. As an English colony, Scotland has suffered greatly and it continues. The English colonial state is stealing from Scotland over 200 billion pounds per year. Resources, exports, tax, land, etc. They are stealing everything and you're doing nothing. Decolonisation is the way via the United Nations. That's what colonies do to escape the English coloniser. The road to liberation goes through the UN and building relationships with the international community against the English colonial state. You're just a colonial administrator of Westminster in Scotland.

They fear losing Scotland John. I fear interference in our election. Why are votes being held overnight then counted next day? Who will be protecting those ballot papers?

This is an election for a devolved administration not a referendum Yet here’s Swinney's still whining about the UK while Scotland has: Europe's worst drug deaths (tens of thousands since SNP took power, costing billions) Record NHS waiting lists, broken ferries Higher taxes on hard work than the rest of the UK higher-rate payers hammered earlier and harder. You've used devolution as a wedge for division and grievance, not governance Scots are fed up of the SNP Vote them out!

@theSNP No Johnny boy we’re suffering economically because of the decisions your utter shambles of a party has made. Why the fuck should I pay more tax in Scotland as a retired person who has worked bloody hard all my life, to pay for the work shy “freebie” lovers who vote for @theSNP 😡

It isn't the Westminster system that most folk in Scotland are fed up with, but is you constantly banging on about something that was democratically decided in 2014. The SNP's 'page 1, line 1' defacto referendum in 2024 saw your party lose 39 Westminster seats. Recent polling:

You can start by reducing taxes on Scottish workers. Remember, you control that! Hard work delivers less at 42% @JohnSwinney . Give us all a break.

You are a liar. No-one promised that Scotland would remain in the EU indefinitely. What the EU Commission said in 2014 was that, if Scotland left the U.K., it would *at the same time* also leave the EU. See letter below. You KNOW that - this letter was sent to Holyrood.

I’m fed up with the Holyrood system that means hard work delivers less and less, while people’s energy and food costs just keep going up. The fresh start of fucking off the SNP would mean we can use Scotland’s resources to benefit Scotland’s people. #fuckSNPoff on May 7th. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Is this guy for real? Hard workers pay less in England than they do here because we have to pay for those who do t work and the SNP MSP’s huge wages and perks.

This election is for a devolved administration, it has nothing to do with Westminster or independence. You know fine well you'll never deliver a second referendum.

I’m fed up with the Holyrood system that means hard work delivers less and less, while people’s energy and food costs just keep going up. I’m fed up with politicians who lie about independence. Knowing they won’t deliver it - and seeking to put Scotland’s resources under the control of the EU.

#DishonestJohn blaming Westminster AGAIN. 🤯😤 If you had big enough balls to ever hold yourselves accountable, you might start to win people over but you obstinately refuse to do that and prefer the more cowardly finger pointing. All you’re doing here is making even more empty promises that any fool can see won’t ever be delivered. Shove it all up your arse, we ain’t buying it. #FuckTheSNP #ScotlandDeservesBetter #SNPout

“Hard work delivers less and less” You tax people earnings between £43k - £50k at 50%. Half their salary gone for ‘hard work’.

Swinney’s a delusional clown with no idea whatsoever what he has previously uttered that entirely contradicts what he says now. Scotland has no resources other than oil & gas. Has he forgot SNP banned all oil & gas production? It’s the reason Grangemouth has been decommissioned - there is no product to refine thanks to SNP idiotic net zero nonsense.

What resources, who owns them, what are the revenues, and how would that change if Scotland became independent? Your snake oil is harming Scotland.
