Scotland in Union

It is disgraceful the SNP continues to spend taxpayers’ money on this when there are so many more important things requiring attention. The poor uptake should persuade the Scottish Government to drop these propaganda documents once and for all.

'A Fresh Start with Independence' was released with much fanfare but was viewed less than 150 times a day in the first month, a figure described as 'paltry'

The paltry number of people accessing this document proves just how futile an exercise this was.

The SNP government thinks the public are hanging on its every word when it comes to breaking up Britain. In fact, barely anyone is paying attention, and Scots have far greater priorities.

That is borne out in repeated polling, and now by these pitiful figures in relation to what ministers thought was a flagship document.

The poor uptake should persuade the Scottish Government to drop these propaganda documents once and for all.

John Swinney's £30,000 independence relaunch was a 'pathetic' failure, with as few as 28 people bothering to read it some days, according to official figures.

New Scottish Government figures show 60% of Scotland’s exports go to the rest of the UK (£55.4bn). Only 18% go to EU countries, and 22% to the rest of the world.

The nationalists want a new border, which would damage Scotland’s economy and cost jobs.

Under the SNP, NHS staff have raised over 30,000 warnings about unsafe staffing with no action taken. It’s time for change.

John Swinney could choose to make a speech about fixing the NHS or growing the economy, but instead he is obsessed with stoking division.

The people of Scotland want their governments to focus on things that matter to them like schools and hospitals. This isn’t a fresh start – it’s a broken record from a party out of ideas which needs to be shown the door in next year’s election.

The SNP leader will throw yet more red meat to the Nationalists in a speech where he will bizarrely claim Keir Starmer is the new Margaret Thatcher

Under the SNP, public body leaders say government interference is causing massive inefficiency and slowing everything down. Scotland deserves a government that backs expertise, not one that gets in the way. It’s time for change.

Our Scottish Future’s latest report paints a stark picture of years of SNP failure, chronic delay, micromanagement and political posturing. Scotland deserves a government focused on delivery, not endless announcements.

Under the SNP, experienced civil servants say evidence-based policymaking has been replaced by political messaging. Scotland needs competence, not spin. It’s time for change.
