An absolute scandal.
👋 Scottish civil servants are being offered one month’s pay for each year of service (up to a max 21 months) under @scotgov voluntary exit scheme.
Key plank of public service reform only open to ‘C’ band officials (starting salary £62,111) and senior civil servants.

The thickos still don’t understand how pensions work.
How does that make sense. If you’ve paid in to the Westminster system until retirement why shouldn’t WM pay your pension? WM gets free money and Holyrood has to pay out money it’s never received from you. Unless of course WM sends money to HR to cover pensions?

Folks, there’s a reason the snp have never published, out of many, a pensions paper for an Indy Scotland. They know know would be apocalyptic.

In light of this and their motion today, what action should be taken against the Green Party? Proscribe them?
Green Party forced to open ‘safe room’ to protect Jewish members at Brighton conference

Luckily wallopers like Billy don’t get to decide who a Scot is or isn’t. Blood and soil Nationalism. It rots the brain.
When English nonentities like this pronounce on the future of my nation I am scunnered for me and my people. If you live in Scotland and think this is normal and acceptable, then I’m afraid you’re a colonised, provincial North Briton, not a Scot.

Long past the point others stopped I stuck to the notion John Swinney was a fundamentally decent guy, with whom I just disagreed.
Recently though he’s shown himself to be far from ‘Honest John’. He’ll say anything, regardless of the truth.
An odd way to trash a good reputation.

This is deranged from @theSNP
Accuses Westminster of treating Scots like a "spare wallet"
Boasts Scots already get personal care "under the SNP"
Ignores the fact Scots care is funded by the £2,700-per-head extra spending allocated by Westminster
Andy Burnham's latest plan? Bring in Free Personal Care in England, and make all UK pensioners pay for it - even though Scots already have Free Personal Care.

🚨REMINDER: Watch the moment on 20 August when SNP and Green councillors voted to press ahead with the new pay and grading proposals, while Glasgow Labour sought to rule out fire and rehire.
We warned where this could lead.
Only Glasgow Labour stood against it.

Fire and rehire will be banned from January 2027 as it's fundamentally unfair
Supposedly left wing parties like the SNP and Greens voting it through in this case is incredible

Are you a middle earner in Scotland? John Swinney wants you to pay higher levels of income tax so the richest generation of pensioners to ever exist can accumulate more wealth.
Vote SNP.
I have received the first official estimate of the cost to Scotland's pensioners of the Prime Minister's attack on the triple lock.
It will take up to £4bn from Scotland's pensioners. And the Prime Minister plans to use it to pay for social care in England.
Community note
The £4bn is a Scottish Government projection for lower state pension payments in Scotland by 2049-50 vs the current triple lock. The state pension is UK-wide. Increased English social care spending would bring additional Barnett formula funding to Scotland. gov.scot/publications/d… heraldscotland.com/news/26595468.… instituteforgovernment.org.uk/article/explai…

Swinney is a liar. What a lying shite of a man. No wonder he’s been community noted.

Ex SNP MSP @AlexNeilSNP on Scottish PISA figures.

Today Swinney is against new oil and gas. Tomorrow he might well have changed his mind.
Tackling the climate emergency is at the heart of my plans for Scotland.
We can cut emissions while strengthening our economy - by harnessing Scotland’s massive renewable energy potential, creating good jobs and making sure communities benefit from the transition.

Barrhead boy, the conspiracy theory crank. Who knew?
For anyone taken in by this RAF Fairford stunt.
Try to find this: Dìomhair
Originally broadcast in 2009, the investigative documentary details how successive British governments used intelligence operations, surveillance, and political obstruction to counter the Scottish independence movement and the SNP. They even set up a false flag with young independence activists and dud explosives.
It's what the Brits do!

Why are Scottish universities ‘less Scottish’ than they used to be?
Because the Scottish government encourages them to be & incentivises recruiting students from England and overseas.
