Scottish Nicola Party

She's pretty rad this isn't up for discussion

I aspire to the level of pettiness that it takes for Nicola Sturgeon to gather everyone in the living room and watch on TV as Boris Johnson gets put on blast by the Supreme Court

Today’s highlight

I’m honestly so petty that I literally cannot be friends with people who vote with Conservatives.

“Leader of the third largest party in the UK accused of ‘meddling’ in politics for wanting to protect the English NHS.”

We need to destroy the mainstream media.

The thing that pure winds me up about independence is English people saying “but why do you want to leave??” Like if it was the other way round, if the uk government was based in Scotland and the ruling party predominantly only cared about Scottish interests and treated England and the rest of the uk like an afterthought, wouldn’t you be fed up? Wouldn’t you be frustrated that your voice and opinion counted for nothing? Wouldn’t you be crying out for a parliament that represented your country and views and values? Wouldn’t you want independence?

It’s so easy to forget what it’s like to have no agency when you have all the power.

And people still question if we’d be better off staying shackled to an incontestable goverment that lies to us and treats us with nothing but contempt when we could be taking an extended hand from people like this.

Nicola Sturgeon: ‘Access to education should be based on ability to learn and never ever on the ability to pay.’ YES.

Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has revealed plans to expand gender recognition laws

These plans include:

The right to gender self-declaration (though those under 16 would need parental permission)

The recognition of non-binary genders by 2021

The choice to have ‘X’ on passports instead of ‘M’ or ‘F’

Teaching children about LGBTQ+ acceptance from primary education onward

Nicola Sturgeon of the SNP and Leanne Wood of Plaid Cymru shouting down Nigel Farage is the only thing that gives me hope for British politics in the future

Scottish Government to block Human Rights Act repeal for whole UK

The Scottish Government will block the UK Government’s attempt to repeal the Human Rights Act for the whole of the UK, the country’s First Minister has said.

“Responsibility for the Human Rights Act rests solely with the Westminster parliament, but European Convention rights are embedded into the devolution settlement and human rights itself is a devolved issue,” she told an audience of civil organisations in Scotland today.

“That means that any attempt to repeal or amend the Human Rights Act is likely to require the legislative consent of the Scottish Parliament.

“It is inconceivable – given the breadth of the support which the Human Rights Act commands across the Scottish Parliament – that such consent would be granted. The Scottish Government will certainly advocate that it is not granted.

“The Scottish Government will also oppose any weakening of human rights protections – not just in Scotland, but across the whole of the UK. Human rights, after all, are not English, Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish rights. They are universal rights.“

So glad we have Nicola Sturgeon.
