How would it be if the #SNP split into two parties:

The Technocrats, led by #Swinney, who seek to govern well at #Holyrood but do not contest #Westminster elections; and

Scotland's Party, led by #Flynn, who campaign for #ScottishIndependence and stand in #Westminster elections but do not contest #Holyrood.

It does not seem to me that you can be both an incumbent (or aspiring) party of government, and a party of independence, when there is no constitutional path to independence.

John Swinney: Farage is a #traitor to people of the UK

The First Minister said Farage’s comments were “some of the most appalling remarks I’ve heard, literally in my life”.

Swinney said Farage’s comments were “an extraordinary degree of absurdity & danger”

“Vladimir Putin has voluntarily invaded a sovereign country, and nobody provoked him to, nobody was a threat to Vladimir Putin"

The National · John Swinney: Nigel Farage is a 'traitor' to the people of the UKBy Lucy Jackson
#SNP#Swinney#Farage

Humza #Yousaf isn't a great politician, but he isnae a rubbish politician either, and the #SNP is short of talent at Holyrood. #Swinney would be unwise no tae gie him a cabinet seat; and gien hoo #Yousaf has performed on #Gaza an ither maitters furth o Scotland, it would be guid tae see him in a foreign relations brief.

If we're aiming for #ScottishIndependence, we need to be developing strong relationships with the rest of Europe and beyond.
