I will always be focused on your priorities and the SNP is always on Scotland’s side. Helping with the cost of living, improving our NHS, and bringing hope with the fresh start of independence. #BothVotesSNP on May 7th. 🏴
As First Minister, I am offering Scotland the serious, reliable leadership we need in tough times. That’s what you can count on with me.

Our campaign bus is on the road - launched in Dundee and heading to Aberdeen. From a £2 bus fare cap to tackling soaring food prices and expanding childcare, we will deliver practical help with the cost of living and bring hope with the fresh start of independence. 🏴
Tomorrow, Scotland’s future is in your hands. This is what I offer as your First Minister. 🏴
We cannot let Westminster off the hook in their attempts to deny Scottish democracy. It is a fundamental right of people in Scotland to choose their future, and we must have that choice.
I consistently stood up for Scotland’s whisky industry against US tariffs, and I am delighted that the tariffs have been lifted. I’m standing to lead a government that gets things done. The SNP will always stand up for Scotland. 🏴
This election is a clear choice for Scotland: experienced, reliable leadership with me and the SNP government focused on cutting the cost of living, or more chaos and distractions from Labour. #BothVotesSNP

“Warrior-focused legal culture” is a phrase worth watching closely. In a healthy system, military lawyers help commanders fight lawfully. In a dangerous system, lawyers are pressured to make unlawful or abusive decisions look legally defensible.
2/2 - Mr. Obrknežev, as a Serbian government official, has reason to be pleased: The White House strongly backs 🇷🇺 interests in 🇭🇺, while at 🇷🇸 student protests pro-Russian flags (“No surrender of Kosovo”) wave freely — and citizens carrying EU and 🇺🇦 flags are physically attacked.

Now, a drunk is scaring them into believing they must die for Israel. This isn't defense—it’s a meat grinder for a foreign state. They deserve better!🤦🏾♂️
