PS, I have never met or had any contact whatsoever with the SNP candidate but she's got me blocked.

Probably out of fear that I might ask her difficult questions.

SNP votes in Rutherglen and Hamilton melting like "snow aff a dyke".

Hello sir?

An exercise in futility? Is that what you're after?

I believe we have the very thing.
Just in.

Blair McDougal, Notes on Nationalism...

"Salmond's resurgence is the surest sign of how big the crisis of nationalism is. Kate Forbes joining his end-of-the-pier show should kill the idea that she offers them hope."

Worth a read.

#thesnp has been CORRUPTED and it’s executive has taken moneys from the people: we need to ensure that people cannot stay in charge for more than three years and no reappointments. Including the leader of the party. This keeps corruption at bay!!

Priority must be to #GTTO but
#KeirStarmer's hesitation on #TransRights makes it ESSENTIAL for input from
#LibDems & #theSNP on national policy moving forward.

Trans' voices MUST be heard
NO COMPROMISE
Must include X
NO ONE SHOULD GET LEFT BEHIND.

Anas Sarwar in the Daily Record:

"None of the SNP leadership candidates are up to the job"

Hard to argue .....

Why has no one suggested that #theSNP take a progressive leap and a leaf out of their #Green allies @ScottishGreens book? Go for the balance and faction-stifling offered by #co_leadership. Seems to be greater than the sum of its parts for #theGreens

…oh, wait! I just did.

Pleased that the first #TheSNP #leadership #hustings in #Cumbernauld went so well last night thanks to candidates willing to debate respectfully and party members determined to focus on issues of importance to the people of #Scotland. #livestreaming them all is the right decision and now look forward to chairing next one in #Glenrothes on Friday at 6.30pm and then #Inverness on Saturday https://www.youtube.com/live/cdBKjVruT9E?feature=share

Did you know⁉️
Tories call the #theSNP “Scottish nazionalists” while the conservatives themselves run on a fascist agenda?
Paradox of imperial politics

As President of #TheSNP I thank #NicolaSturgeon for her extraordinary and brilliant leadership of her party and country . As a friend for 30 years I wish her all the best and look forward to her continuing huge contribution to our national wellbeing and success . #Scotland

First Minister's Questions condensed:

FM Nicola Sturgeon -

"Douglas Ross asks me about housing dangerous male criminals in womens prisons in Scotland. Nothing to do with me. I blame the Scottish Prison Service"

"And Anas Sarwar asks me about Scottish NHS performance. Frankly I don't know, why should I? On the other hand, if he wants to ask me about the Welsh NHS, I've got all the statistics to hand"
