John Swinney grilled by press over HOW the SNP will ever have Scottish Independence

[@vtechead1]

A broken record that very few listen to these days. It really is laughable the way they keep bleating on about something they’ve been told they cannot get.

[@bobbob-gy4ht]

Deluded

[@AntPDC]

What "achievements"? What "positive impact"? What a load of doublespeak tosh.

[@robertcupples9667]

Liar you chose to drop the winter fuel allowance.

[@PRCOM]

110% correct yet the deluded snp try blame Westminster or covid. Utter disgraceful

[@gordonferguson2550]

Correct, it's devolved

[@barbaraurquhart2276]

Yes but keir starmer did it first and he will do a lot worse in October but the snp shouldn't have copied keir starmer but keir starmer and Rachel theives are the worst in creation

[@gordonferguson2550]

@barbaraurquhart2276 No matter what you say, it's still a devolved power.

[@barbaraurquhart2276]

@@gordonferguson2550 well we can all hope Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 gets independence so we can get rid of Westminster government and downing Street and get rid of labour and the tories and be able to pick the government that we the scots want

[@caterham555]

Wouldn’t call that a grilling All soft questions

[@cooperization]

A deluded LIAR and CON-MAN. But he has gave me a good laugh watching this.

[@paulluxford6009]

The thought of these clowns running an independent Scotland scares the crap out of me

[@billyross-qh9ms]

Talking rubbish

[@obiwanjabroniX]

Why wont people just say that independence will NEVER be off the table

[@barbaraurquhart2276]

I can't wait to get independence especially now since keir starmer is prime minister and the worse we have ever had as a prim minister boot him out

[@williamarmstrong3016]

No honestly In the snp

Snap. I’ve never voted for them but my parents have and they’ll never trust them again.

Labour is a lot worse

[@Jesus420.69]

@@barbaraurquhart2276 Labour have been out of power in Scotland for nearly 20 years. I think it’s about time the snp were shown the door.

Terrific opportunity to deflect from the dismal performance on the day job !!

Still on the Deludamol I see

[@kethughes8266]

Another vital statement by charismatic political giant John Swinney.

[@duncanmackenzie2410]

They budgeted for paying the Winter Fuel Allowance to pensioners away back in March....and decided to go along with Westminster... " PANTS ON FIRE " Honest John.

[@neiljohnstone6282]

Totally disconnected from the Scottish people

[@BBWilly]

Never any explanation of how the fiscal framework would be different/beneficial if Scotland were an independent nation(?)

[@peterscraig1673]

THE FM OF SCOTLAND GOVERNMENT SPEAKING WITH HIS ALLEGIANCE TO THE KING NOT FOR SCOTLANDS PEOPLE WHO VOTED THE SNP IN .NOT THE UK GOVERNMENT WHICH COMES FIRST ,THE PEOPLE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF A SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT THAT CAN WORK FIR THE PEOPLE.

Independence from what? GB treaties CTA Currency GB pensions GB internal market and 270,000 linked jobs WHAT ?

[@Scott-bb5nj]

I am amazed that he thinks the majority of normal people in Scotland believe this. Absolutely clueless and embarrassing. Stuttering and blagging his way through the questions.

[@lesleys3751]

The people of Scotland spoke at the general election and said NO! JS seems to be struggling to understand this. Rhetoric after rhetoric with absolutely no substance.

How many mandates do we need?

Shetland should leave and rejoin Denmark . They would be far better off .
