Our @ScotGovFM uses the economic crisis caused by Covid & Russias illegal war in Ukraine 2 ‘shame’ the UK’s economic performance & claim #Scexit would be preferable 2 Brexit & that we’d be economically better of, with no guarantee, out of our U.K. 1/5 
Where’s the plan showing the level of borrowing required 2 maintain essential services like our police & our NHS? Where’s the huge cuts required 2 put our deficit into a place the EU would consider as a joining position? Where’s the admission we’d be SIGNIFICANTLY poorer? 2/5
The claim that the current blip in oil prices due 2 the war can fund a £20Bn investment fund topped up by yet more borrowing is incredulous! How much from oil? When? What will our borrowing rate % be as a NEW state with Sterlingisation as a ‘currency’ (note no EU again)? 3/5
#Scexit polling update 11/3/21 - all the detail & more in the blog.
The blog took a while to pull together, but if you really haven't time to read it here is a selection of my latest #Scexit poll charts. Please share the blog as the detailed text will help many gain a better understanding of polling to date.
In the middle of a pandemic, when our economy is ailing & under threat, when our drug deaths (& homeless deaths) are way more than England's when our education system & standards are falling, with all our other issues, @theSNP is spending time & money whinging about Brexit.
An appalling document full of lies/misinformation/misdirection, adding nothing 2 previous diatribes on the same subject & is obviously nationalist propaganda. @scotgov & @ScotParl should be ashamed. @GOVUK @UKGovScotland @10DowningStreet @ScotSecofState @michaelgove @BorisJohnson
Awaiting the next #Scexit poll or Savanta Comres's March 1 for The Scotsman, It's worth recalling the appalling use of demographics used (incorrectly) by senior SNP figures. Younger #Cybernats have stated 4 yrs the Nationalist youth (eek) will sweep all before them. Rubbish...
Only an idiot (or a lying Nationalist) would claim people's opinions don't change as they age, but equally as (or more) important, it shows their thinking is biased & blinkered by Nationalism, their premise of a positive shift in age demographics 4 their benefit is baseless...
NRS (National Records Of Scotland) publish regular data on population change, & what you can see & glean from the data, gives the lie 2 nationalists claims. Actually our youth population will decrease & our maturer population will increase as per the data below...
#Scexit? #2VotesUK #BetterTogether #PooledShared #NeverNats #Any1ButSNP A wee thread explaining the basic facts & benefits accrued 2 us by our decision in 2014 to reject nationalism & choose our UK, The UK is of course much more than the #BarnettFormula which supports us #SNPOut.

The UK internal market is essential 2 our prosperity & wellbeing enabling us to use the world-class devolved powers afforded by the 2016 Scotland Act legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2016/11/…
#HNY 15/1/21 #Scexit Poll update. Remember headline results of +50% LeaveUK normally EXCLUDE undecideds. Most polls only use a sample subset & leading/soft questions. SNP internal target? 60% polling for 1yr. Even gifting ALL undecideds? Target is rarely ever reached. #SNPOut
New Savanta Comres Scotsman poll shows LeaveUK at 51% (down 1% from Comres poll in Dec after peaking at 55% in Oct 20). Headlines say 57% but that ignores important non-committed voters. 1016 potential Scots voters were polled, 12% were weighted OUT to 894 - producing 51%/38%/10%
This means DK's are artificially reduced IMO. Interestingly Comres played around with weighting & adjusted results 4 a set of 847, producing a LeaveUK "win" of 47%/43%/10% (Tables further down in thread). As always, gifting LeaveUK ALL undecideds gets them nowhere near SNP target
17/10/20 #Scexit Poll update. Remember headline results of +50% LeaveUK normally EXCLUDE undecideds/DKs. Many polls only use a sample subset & leading/soft questions. SNP internal target? 60% polling for 1yr. Even with the benefit of ALL DKs? Never even achieved 4 a month #SNPOut
Yes, they've led in recent polls, but it's nothing to really crow about due to Brexit Remainers still protesting & the less well-informed mesmerised by the Daily Sturgeon Show. Come the post-Covid new year & the Holyrood election let's see how polling goes...
Normal charts updated....1
Some cracking letters (thread)- The whole (economic) truth & nothing but the (economic) truth: Nationalists press those of us who support the U.K. to ‘defend’ it - sod off, it’s up 2 the economically uninformed nationalists 2 try 2sell us their bitter pill of divisive austerity-
Scottish National Investment Bank: More nationalist bollox that’s as political as the hustings-
7/9/20 Polling update. Don’t forget headline results of +50% LeaveUK (or thereabouts) EXCLUDE undecideds. Many polls now only use a subset of respondents & soft questions. SNP internal target is +60% polling for 12 mnths, even given the benefit of ALL DKs, nowhere near 😏 #SNPOut
It’s evident that even with ALL the DK’s awarded LeaveUK hasn’t even approached their target other than in 4 polls. Bear in mind polls have a +/-3% accuracy & DKs normally stick with the status quo as happened in 2014.
The recent bluster from Nats & their politicians about a surge & having a consistent lead in the polls is absolute nonsense - they’d have to hit 52% EXCLUDING DKs consistently for months 2 claim real progress. The press have talked a few polls up for sensationalism. No real lead.
@NicolaSturgeon & @theSNP’s currency plan ridiculed by top economist Ronald MacDonald for planning 2 use the £ in early #Scexit years, rather than a new currency. He said under their plan, iScot would almost immediately go bankrupt #SNPOut express.co.uk/news/uk/133945…
Never forget....#Scexit never will have a real plan, it’s belief rather than logic - Nats don’t care about a post Scexit economic cataclysm, their adherence to nationalism stops rational thought - even Sturgeon says Scexit transcends the economy #SNPOut
Pathetic nationalism at its “best” blame the messenger - let’s just blame The Express & ignore the highly respected economist 😂😂😂
An intelligent Yes voter speaks. It's fact that #indyref started with a Holyrood win based on an unconditional manifesto pledge 2 hold 1, ending with UK/ScotGov political commitment 2 implement the result. Why’s everyone so convinced it won't happen again? terryentoure.blogspot.com/2020/08/the-so…
Here’s @TerryEntoure again with another clinical view of the nonsense some of his “colleagues”, co independenistas, say, this time GMKemp from #BullshitForScotland, quite relevant with recent #Scexit announcements businessforscotland.com/a-2020-scottis… - scroll up, read article, then this reply
I said voter, I meant supporter as it looks like he might not have been allowed to vote.......
