1625607030395248652 | Disgusting that after the murder of a young women with so much potential that people are still so vile to be transphobic after her murder. When will @AlexSalmond get a grip of @AlbaParty supporters and apologise for the transphobic pit of a party he has created? https://t.co/OmcKoQLDBu | 80 |
1624684778841669632 | The @AlbaParty re affirm the parties commitment to support and uphold women's rights at its National Council. https://t.co/U6dedRpnKb | 48 |
1625117048530472962 | Decades of hard work wiped away by the dear leaders gender nonsense, it’s now time to join @AlbaParty so we can rebuild the support for #Independence once again. People have lost hope in the SNP. “We remember the hard work we’ve done, we will rebuild again & come back stronger” https://t.co/Gzu5nhzPsi | 45 |
1625866934821453824 | What say @AlexSalmond @AlbaParty now. You couldn't lace Nicola Sturgeon 's boots. I hope you're pleased. https://t.co/GYBiyt1D1S | 39 |
1625845523016974337 | I don't think the @albaparty can be accused of having any influence over @theSNP's finances. Nor their deeply unpopular GRR policies. Nor even the content of their MP's emails. Nor the internal party decisions referred to. | 37 |

1626883669896953856 | Trying to stay relevant @AlexSalmond The SNP leadership is absolutely nothing to do with you. You & your backstabbing @AlbaParty are fast becoming a liability to the Yes movement. Time to pull the reins of those abhorrent, divisive members/bloggers of your own house. #SNP #YES https://t.co/HUtRd3362g | 34 |
1628052819755278338 | Alex Salmond on @afneil @Channel4 on how an Independence Convention can reunify the YES movement @AlexSalmond @AlbaParty🏴 #ALBAforIndependence https://t.co/PCe89Dtj6p | 32 |
1628144508708724742 | This would be a good day for @AlbaParty to have a recruitment campaign. Just saying!!! | 30 |
1625864071605092358 | As the news was sinking in about Nicola resigning, we were out delivering our latest leaflet. Today we targeted Blindwells and the newly occupied houses. @AlbaParty https://t.co/cnUJ1xcwhO | 27 |

1626702134962974721 | That was when I joined @AlbaParty . Ive taken a sabbatical again from political activity. Once again focusing on my own personal life.

1624939807007772678 | @agumdoo Grow up. @AlbaParty has held two Assemblies and a conference while we have waited for your party to get the finger out. We support the #ConstitutionalConvention your leader promised 3 years ago. | 112 |

1625648104790798343 | @foz_richard @IndiaWilloughby @AlexSalmond @AlbaParty Absolutely. And it is so sad. The law we tried to pass in Scotland would mean if she had a GRC she would be recognised as female and on her death certificate she would be recognised as female. Instead on the death certificate she will have dead name and male. It’s so sad 😢 🏳️⚧️❤️ | 86 |
