tried to conceal membershio figures till announcement of leadership election result, Mar 27. After calls for transparency by Wee Free and (alleged) Terf turns out only has 72,186 paid-up members - down from 125,000 in 2019. It seems that the book-cooking was intended to help , to play the role of fall guy (a Scottish Liz Truss no less) thus enabling the party to abandon the fight for independence. Whoever wins the seems doomed.

While, in a secular society, political decisions should be based on evidence, reason, and the best interests of the people, rather than personal beliefs or religious affiliations; when a candidate makes comments that they’d have voted against a progressive law to bring about marriage equality e.g. as a result of their faith, it is perfectly legitimate for the electorate to express concerns about how they will expect to best serve the interests of the people of Scotland when admittedly their faith dictates their position on wider policy.

The First Minister is expected to serve for everyone and they not only craft the priorities of their government but sets the policy and direction of travel. LGBT+ people who are rightly anxious are being unfairly dismissed as antireligionists.

You cannot simultaneously hold that your faith is so important to you that it guides the way you see and interact with the world, while also claiming your policies and priorities as First Minister wouldn’t be, in any way affected.

Super gutted to hear that Nicola Sturgeon will be resigning as our first minister due to burnout... May have made a couple of mistakes but she genuinely cared about social policy in Scotland and gave 100%. She was my local constituent for years and even made me a cup of tea when i had to go round to the office to raise something once. Thank you for your service!

Whilst fully supportive of efforts to increase recycling the introduction of the poorly thought out deposit return scheme in Scotland where there is already kerbside recycling seems to be introducing an unnecessary level of complication and cost. Surely better to improve the efficiency of current systems and assist local authorities to make them work.
