A lot has changed in the world since 2014, but one thing that has stayed the same is the Unionist Project Fear.

Let's take a look back at some of their best moments from #IndyRef1πŸ‘‡
In 2014 Scottish Labour argued that independence could lead to a 30% increase in your weekly shop.

Today as part of the UK, Scots face rises of up to 344%

Better Together claimed that independence could lead to an increase in household bills by Β£189 a year.

Today as part of the UK, Scots face rises of Β£1,300 a year.

In 2014, the Unionist camp argued that Scottish oil would run out.

Today as part of the UK, Scottish oil and gas producers are making 'extraordinary profits' and are expanding production.

£5 billion could reduce every household bill in Scotland by £1,992 ‡️
In 2014, Better Together warned independence could lead to 'an economic minefield where problems could implode at any time'.

It turns out that was a perfect description of the Union of 2022.

It's time to put Scotland's future in Scotland's hands #Indyref2023 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
The Tories in 2014 recognised and respected Scottish democracy.

Today, they see the Scottish people as something to be ignored.

🧡 18th of November 2024 marks the 10 year anniversary of Alex Salmond's official resignation as First Minister of Scotland.

Let's take a look at just some of his many achievements in Government.

1/18 Image
After achieving a historic overall majority in the 2011 Scottish Parliament election, he gave the people of Scotland the opportunity to vote for Independence 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

2/18 Image
In 2008 and 2013, his Government intervened to stop the closure of Scotland's only oil refinery at Grangemouth.

With the absence of any discernible political leadership in the Scottish Government, Scotland is now facing the very real likelihood that it will become the only major oil producing nation without its own refinery capacity.

🧡 A thread...

If you're an independence supporter, here is how we are going to get Scotland out of this constitutional logjam🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It's no secret that Westminster will say NO to another referendum. They have been saying no for 8 years - that's not going to change...

1/9 πŸ‘‡ Image
So saying that your strategy is to ask Westminster for another referendum is the same as saying you haven't got a strategy 🫒

But just because Westminster will refuse a second referendum, does not mean we can't do anything.

ALBA has the plan...

2/9
βœ… Every election should be considered an opportunity for Scotland to vote for independence.

We're not wording that in a way that is confusing, we mean it.

Not to vote for another referendum, but to vote for independence 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Last night an SNP MP politely asked ALBA Party Depute Leader @KennyMacAskill what can be done to progress independence...πŸ‘€

Kenny was more than happy to answer ⬇️
1. Endorse the Claim of Right πŸ“œ

πŸ—£οΈ "I hope that SNP members will sign my colleague, @JNHanvey's St. Andrew's Day Declaration."

So far only 1 SNP MP has signed the Declaration. You can sign it here: albaparty.org/declaration

#AlbaStandsForScotland 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
2. An Independence Convention 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

πŸ—£οΈ "It was a call made and supported by the First Minister in Feb 2020. Three years on, it's time that Convention was delivered."

🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #ScottishIndependence is an overwhelming and immediate priority for the people.

1/
The failure of the Scottish Government to implement successive electoral mandates from the people to progress this aim has been deeply damaging to both the Indy cause and the welfare of the people of #Scotland.

2/
We believe that the Scottish Government should commence independence negotiations with Westminster immediately.

If the British Government refuses to engage or accept a referendum process, then...
