Just imagine what a progressive, successful and generous country Scotland could be if only we weren't weighed down and restricted by #WestminsterChains #EconomicSubjugation and being held as #PoliticalPrisoners against our will.

The slippery slope of fascism and colonialism only ever goes one way. There is no union or GB.

Robison said: “The Prime Minister’s speech this morning is a watershed moment in UK politics.
“Before Labour entered office, we and many others repeatedly warned that they were concealing the significant cuts they would have to make as a result of sticking to the Tory fiscal rules – and now, they are no longer able to hide from the reality.

“I was told there would be no austerity under Labour. Well here it is.
“Scotland will be affected by UK decisions.”

Scottish Greens transport spokesperson Mark Ruskell (above) said: “I am deeply disappointed that the Scottish Government has chosen to do this.
