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.

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

🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #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...

Our policy for an Elected Head of State and Written Constitution for #Scotland πŸ‘‡

1/
🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 When sovereignty is secured with an independent Scottish state, a most important post-independent action will be the engagement of the people in framing the fundamental law, the supreme law, in a written constitution, by which Scotland will govern itself.

2/
🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 We acknowledge the work already done by a variety of groups on a proposed constitution for an Independent Scotland. We consider that a series of citizens’ assemblies followed by a referendum will be the appropriate mechanism for consultation, participation & approval.
