Averse to any form of bullying, hence pro independence campaigner. The Republic of Scotland sounds good to me. Socialism is the key. Celtic !

Robert Burns hated the Union. When the French Revolution turned violent, British elites took fright. Burns and other sympathisers were in danger of prison or worse for having admired its ideals. He tacked in the circumstances and penned a few “loyal” lines to deflect the threat.

Jackie Baillie is a gutter politician at the best of times. But this is her vilest tweet yet. She should delete the tweet and apologise. But ten hours have passed and the nasty tweet is still here. Has @AnasSarwar commented yet? #ResignJackieBaillie
There are parallels between the #LucyLetby case and the QEUH in Glasgow. Health bosses being more concerned about the reputation of the hospital than the lives of patients is simply wrong. Lessons need to be learned.

Herald and Colonial Home Office demanding Glasgow house asylum seekers on a crap barge on the Clyde. Scotland is NOT England!
They are testing our morality and resolve.
Add your dislike of coercion to this topic - retweet it.

It gave the WW2 servicemen who'd suffered under 'pampered officers' for six years the chance to put two fingers up to the ruling classes, and they did that in spades!

Good grief! Scottish Government to pay for 'second' coronation - plus £22k sword. 🙃thenational.scot/news/236274…

In our Panorama on the UK economy, we heard from a woman in Cornwall called Nicky - who couldn't afford to replace a broken lightbulb until the next pay day. @jonkay01 asked the Prime Minister about Nicky's situation on @BBCBreakfast this morning. This is the exchange.

Until people start challenging how things have been done in the SNP over the past 8 years there will be no progress. Open the windows! Let some air in. Rediscover democracy. 🤷♂️

What should be done to reverse the capture of public policy by corporate interests, Roger? I wonder if this as a topic which any of the SNP leadership candidates might want to address? @_KateForbes @AshReganSNP @HumzaYousaf

Thank you so much guys! ❤️🏴🇪🇺
#Edinburgh 4 Europe's leadership & founders endorse Mike Galsworthy to be the new Chair of the European Movement UK. We've valued his support over many years & believe he can inspire the public to urge UK wide political parties to secure better relations with the EU. #Mike4Chair

Scotland imports 70% fresh fruit & veg. Why not adopt Dutch/Iceland model & use glasshouses powered by renewable energy? Importing tomatoes (95% water) depletes precious water supplies in Spain/Morocco & reduces food security here. Crazy. @nourishscotland heraldscotland.com/politics/…

Indeed. How we overcome this lack of political will and reverse the capture of public policy by lobbyists and corporate interests should be a key theme in the SNP leadership debate. @_KateForbes @AshReganSNP @HumzaYousaf

This 👇. It’s a grotesque situation and it makes us all poorer here in Scotland. It’s untenable and economically illiterate.

Barely a week without some revolting Tory scandal of corruption, lies, cronyism, VIP PPE lane greed, dodgy appointments, bribery, favours, sex-pesting, tax-evasion, rule-breaking, staggering negligence and epic failure.
But yeah. The Sue Gray appointment is the real problem.

We’ve arrived surprisingly early at the point where none of the cheerleaders are trumpeting the success of Brexit. The racist liars have dusted off their betrayal myths, the narcissists are throwing a pity party & all the other geniuses are refusing to talk about it at all.

Would that be the Chief Executive Officer? If so, it is high time he stood aside from all aspects of the conduct of this leadership contest.

Sunak needs to stand up and apologise to Jean Freeman for the onslaught of persecution she received from ALL the tories during lockdowns. #HancockCovidFiles #ApologiseToJeanFreeman

Here we now are with our govt applauding itself for giving NI an inferior version of the privileged status the whole country used to enjoy before the Tories took it from us. The rest of us just get to reflect on the full extent of our loss.
What an epic and unforgivable fuck-up.
