    Poverty first. Kids don't eat sovereignty.

    Both can be debated; sequencing matters.

    Independence-first is how targets keep slipping.

    Prioritise doesn't mean ban debate — it means calendar discipline.

    Marra's frame is correct politics and correct morals.

    SNP motion was vibes; poverty is delivery.

    Fair point, but poverty first. Kids don't eat sovereignty.
