Heading to this now; looking forward to hearing how we expedite #ScottishIndependence and get the orderly governance we need to recover from the impact of Brexit and Covid. #ALBAforIndependence
@JNHanvey confirms that @AlbaParty promotes the common weal of the people of Scotland - with determination and single minded focus on Scotland’s interests and #ScottishIndependence - those are our unambiguous priorities.
And says @JNHanvey with #ScottishIndependence gumption, guts and spirit we will build a country for the good of all 💙🏴💙👏👏👏
@AlexSalmond thunders on the gross ineptitude of the Tory leadership; but what does it say about Scotland if we allow them to dictate our future? #ScottishIndependence must be pursued with all due vigour. #AlbaStandsForScotland
Sterling is a speculator’s paradise now we are out of the EU. @AlexSalmond on the #WeeAlbaBook roadshow
With #ScottishIndependence we will guarantee energy security and prosperity for our businesses and comfort within all Scottish homes
Looking at an open goal - #ScottishIndependence won’t shoot and score by pleading for a GE at Westminster; we can have interventions there and make Scotland’s voice heard bringing WM to a halt says @JNHanvey and he knows, as the voice of experience!
To make our voices heard we must be seen and be angry at what is happening : energy bills, mortgage and interest rates! @yvonneridley
Will education remain free when we have #ScottishIndependence? ‘The rocks will melt in the sun’ says @AlexSalmond - no more needs to be said.
A Constitutional Convention will give our #ScottishIndependence movement legitimacy; assertion of our rights has been fundamental from at least 1320 until today - instruments of political pressure must be used.
And if you want to mobilise the people, the people have to know you mean it. No ifs. No buts. @AlexSalmond
Our movement will win because we have a rare core of belief; that Scotland is a nation and with #ScottishIndependence we will make Scotland a better place.

I am not a politician first or foremost, but a mother, daughter,partner,neighbour,lawyer. In each of these roles trust, honesty and respect are required. If I pretend to be someone or to want something which is false and am thereby outed as dishonest I expect to lose that trust.
In fact my dishonesty deserves that loss. So if as an amateur politician, scunnered with the professionals and their approach, I nod and smile to those of a different Independence supporting party, I expect a nod, an acknowledgement, maybe even a daft wee smile.
It wasn't expected that other Independence supporting real politicians from other parties would blank me in Arbroath last weekend; a one legged woman immortal, bionic and who can shout, isn't invisible, no matter how much certain males may hope so.
A justice minister promoting policies to assist women and children is posturing - he knows his local court ‘functions’ remotely and his local Childrens Panel doesn’t clap eyes on the children it considers because business is conducted by Teams video with limited connectivity
And many who have to participate in these hearings have neither the equipment nor funds so to do
Others need legal advice and can’t get it because lawyers don’t get paid enough on legal aid to make that work profitable
