🇪🇺 But while EU countries are taking real action on the cost of living crisis, the UK Tory government makes the wrong political choices.

🧵 Here's what other countries are doing.

🇫🇷 While energy prices in the UK rose by 54%, the French government chose to cap them at 4%.

On top of that, France is providing a €100 payment to low-income households, and introduced a 15 cent-per-litre reduction in fuel prices (compared to 5p in the UK).
🇩🇪 The German government is giving everyone a one-off €300 payment to help with the cost of living, and a further €100 for each child.

Anybody receiving state benefits will receive an additional €100.

Meanwhile, Rishi Sunak is offering a £200 "heat now, pay later" loan.

So tonight I've noticed an interesting pattern relating to #BothVotesSNP that's worth flagging.

I've spotted several, apparently fake pro-SNP accounts, all based outside of Scotland, all using weird language. Buckle up...

Thread 👇
Here's 'Noah' in London. 'Noah' advocating a 'savior [sic] leader'? Really? Doesn't that language seem odd to any reasonable person?
But wait, there's more: here's Monica, a London based socialist advocating for #BothVotesSNP

"make your destiny" - Really?

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Happy St. Andrew's Day!

📢 @StephenGethins and @NicolaSturgeon are about to start the #VoteSNP rally in St. Andrews, setting out our plans to lock the Tories out of power, escape Brexit and put Scotland's future in Scotland's hands. #GE2019
@StephenGethins @NicolaSturgeon 📢 @NicolaSturgeon: "Our thoughts today are very much with those affected by yesterday’s horrific terrorist attack in London."
📢 @NicolaSturgeon: "We think of all those who sustained injury and, especially, of the families of those who lost their lives.

There are no words that can ease the pain that they are feeling."

Thread about standing as a political candidate. It is not something I sought out. A few months ago I was, like many of you, watching the political game playing in Westminster with concerned interest, but with no vested interest../2
I was nominated for candidacy by local people who valued my knowledge of the rural economy and thought I had something to contribute. To say my nomination was a surprise is an understatement, so why am I standing?

3. Independent research shows that this constituency will be one of the areas hardest hit by Brexit. Our constituency, like the rest of Scotland, voted to remain. Yet the MP who has been representing us has u-turned and pivoted time and again behind party lines.../4

🚨 @Conservatives chief strategist Dominic Cummings: “Tory MPs largely don't care about poorer people. They don’t care about the NHS.”

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The SNP has delivered record NHS funding, with the best performing A&E in the UK.

🗳 #VoteSNP to keep Scotland’s NHS in Scotland’s hands.
@Conservatives 🏥 An NHS consultant on @bbcdebatenight described Brexit as a “nightmare”, and explained why he’s switched from Labour to voting SNP.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 A vote for the SNP is a vote to escape from Brexit, and for Scotland’s right to choose our own future.

@Conservatives @bbcdebatenight 🚨 US President Donald Trump let slip he wants the NHS as part of any post-Brexit trade deal.

🙈 “Everything’s on the table. So, NHS or anything else.”

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #VoteSNP to keep Scotland’s NHS in Scotland’s hands - not those of Boris Johnson or Donald Trump.

.@NicolaSturgeon: "We are gathered here in George Square, for one simple purpose. To choose a better future for our country, to choose independence for our country." #indyref2020
.@NicolaSturgeon: "Scotland stands at a crossroads at this #GE2019.

Down one path is a future where we are led by the likes of Boris Johnson, who wants to drag us out of our European family of nations." #indyref2020
.@NicolaSturgeon: "My friends there is another path, and that is not a UK Labour government that can't even choose its position on Brexit.

The days of Scotland having to choose between two old Westminster parties is over." #indyref2020

Dear Scotland,

Let's look at the reality...
What people forget is the news media's apparent hostility towards @theSNP is one of the reasons social media became a core communications channel for the party early on (2010), before other UK political parties began taking part. The approach was simple in theory, difficult to...
... carry out, but remarkably successful:
• You can't pretend to be social.
• This is all about building real, trusted relationships at scale, over time.
• Be authentic and engage, enthuse, educate and empower people around @theSNP & the idea of an independent #Scotland.
