We are making progress with our limited powers, but imagine what we could do with the full powers to cut your energy bills, eradicate child poverty and use Scotland’s vast resources for the benefit of people in Scotland. That’s exactly what independence is about.

I’ll ask again .. WHERE IS THE £80 MILLION GIVEN TO YOU BY WESTMINSTER LAST YEAR ??

Your own government's GERS figures, published last month: a £25.3bn deficit, 10.9% of GDP, more than double the UK's 4.2%. Which of those 'full powers' pays for that: tax rises or spending cuts? 'Imagine' isn't a budget, Honest John. 🙄

FUCK OFF YOU CUNT

How would you do that then?

Scotland is not progressing because your sole concern is the destruction of the United Kingdom. Little else matters. Holyrood does not have limited powers, as you repeatedly claim. This alone is proof that all you do is constantly lie and try to deceive the Scottish people.

No you should be concerned with the Scottish people! Not the "people in Scotland"

Swinney yer full o shite!

There was an opportunity over the past 20 years for the SNP to demonstrate how successful a devolved administration could be for all of Scotland. The SNP have squandered their powers on self promotion, grievance & mismanagement of public taxpayers money. Resign! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦤🤡🎪

Quick - release the video of John Swinney lying about Independence again to deflect from the scandalous drugs deaths which remain the worst in Europe and the shocking fact Scotland has the highest child mortality rate in the UK.

Yes, just imagine what you could do with (or without, in the case of the fiscal transfer from Westminster, the global security of a reserve-status currency and the capital flight that would inevitably follow and numerous others), John? And by the way, Scotland's resources and energy are products of multinational companies. These products are not owned by Scotland or taken by Westminster. They are sold at market rates with tax revenues on profits credited to Scotland via GERS, figures published last month: a £25.3bn deficit, 10.9% of GDP, more than double the UK's of 4.2% of GDP.

11,000 children in homeless accommodation under you charlatans and utter chancers! Shameless lying 🤥 bastard.

Oh fuck off. You are not progressing Jack shit. Resign ya baldy cunt.

Since devolution, he's had full power over education and health. And we've gone from the top of education league tables to the bottom; and from rising life expectancy to falling life expectancy. That's exactly what independence is about.

Just shut the fuck up and do some proper work for a change. Stop pontificating on ethereal bollocks (which everyone knows is ethereal bollocks) and get on with running devolved services. THAT is your job!

We don't need to imagine anything John.The country is a mess.

Just think , we can have unlimited immigration , a return to gender ideology and SNP running Scotland unhindered by sect 30 Magic idea mate

You's people are sick.

More lies

Everything that the SNP touch turns to 💩

You're an international embarrassment. Scotland used to be a great place to live.

I have so many questions .. Does that mean you plan to buy BP’s interests in the North Sea ?? Explain how Scotland can refine oil … if you CLOSED our only refinery ? Explain how you’re going to reclaim all our energy resources & detail costs to the taxpayer ? Estimated cost of legal fees to negotiate our way out of heavily subsidised net zero contracts ??

I can imagine exactly what you corrupt incompetent pedophile protecting fraudsters would do with absolute power. That's why you must never get it.

Is this all you go on about !!! Getting a bit tedious . I’m a tax payer in Scotland and love my country but can you not just get on with the job your paid to do

Please can you share how you’re “making progress” with education and health (including drugs deaths)?

SNP have been an unmittigated disaster for Scotland. @grok how does Scotland rank in Europe for death by natural causes & death by drugs & alcohol?

You've fkd up Scotland, handed women and girls to the hordes of savages invading, while making them unsafe EVEN in women only spaces, by pushing to let perverts in dresses have access, useless self serving vermin.

FFS the incessant drone of this guy constantly whinging on and on about everything except the major issues on running day to day Scotland would burst yer balls. He makes me want to puke 🤢 chancers the lot of them.

Resign Now Utter Empty Fucking Jaiket

Utter shite Swinney 👎

Stop bullshitting John. We all know you are a practiced liar.

You can fuck right off your reaction to the drug deaths was "it couldve been worse" and a refusal to change ur policies, followed by snpers shouting "fuck them dont blame oor snp". I will never vote for it with you in power resign

I have no intention of imagining what you SNP idiots would do with full powers - it would be a total & utter shocking disaster @JohnSwinney = failing Scotland for 20 years.

A £5bn black hole in the finances is spectacular achievement with your limited powers! Just imagine how much worse it would be, god forbid, if you had full power. Too many freebies by your government and a government that tries to tax its way to economic growth.

Aye ok you retarded c@nt 🤬🤬
