Kate has, although she may not realise it, blown any chance of ever becoming leader of the SNP. By backing down in the hour of greatest need, she has shown cowardice. Swinney will do nothing until 2026, then the troughers will fight it out for what remains of the SNP thereafter.

The SNP leadership election has to be stopped immediately and all votes cast so far declared null and void. A new vote must take place as soon as possible with AUDITED membership by a different company with no SNP ties, and all interim details withheld until the final result.

@gracebrod1e I disagree. They have not listened to a word for years despite plummeting in the polls. They DO need destroyed to get back to what they should be. It matters not in the WM election if they have 0 or 57 MPs. IF they tak tent, they might just save HR. If they don't, Hell mend them.

@TrickyDicky1954 That is only income tax. Unlike VAT and duty and many other taxes which go directly to Westminster and we get a tiny partial refund. Scotland's taxes pay for HS2, Cross Link, and the hugely wasteful and completely useless Trident.

My own constituency, and I cannot vote for ANY of the candidates. No unionists, no weird Greens, and certainly NEVER Alyn "Daddy" Smith, the parachute man, dropped into Stirling by Sturgeon, with nobody allowed to to stand against him. Not a single vote from local party members.

@AlynSmith @lxrobb @theSNP @neilgraysnp ON your election - not before your election. Not that the members in Stirling CA had any choice in the candidate imposed upon them.. Which is exactly why the rules were changed, to stop @joannaccherry from standing against Robertson in Edinburgh Central. The ONLY reason.

What a load of bollocks on BBC's The Sunday Show! Two seconds on the march in Glasgow, then a lengthy interview with a plummy voiced idiot ignoring the fact that 70% of Scots are not royalist and insisting that the King will bring us all back into the British fold. Balanced view?

One chance for you today Humza, one only. Change the speech completely. Dump the Greens, the woke, the GRR and the appeal. Sack most of your ministers. Fight for independence. Nothing less. If you don't, you remain in office only for a very short time. Up to you.

The SNP has hope of regaining respect if they elect Ash or Kate, none whatsoever if Humza is put in place. For Scotland's sake, make the right choice. Dump the GRR until after independence and cooperate with ALL indy parties.

I see the Wee Ginger Dug is whining and having a go at Alex Neill and Jim Sillars among others for the SNP's demise. I figure that they, like me, didn't donate when every WGD blog STARTED with, "Give me MONEY!" - Even after somebody bought him a house. No respect for him.

Oh dear. Kenny MacAskill to run in Alloa and Grangemouth? That would make him a carpetbagger and snollygoster. And standing against Eva Comrie, the most popular ex-member of Alba by Alba members. 82% of the members voted for her. Think again Kenny.

@timesscotland HE is not a woman, trans or otherwise. Physically AND legally HE is a man. And a very weird one! Go back through his X feed, if HE has not deleted it. The SNP allowed him on an all-woman shortlist for Stirling for the HR election. HE should be nowhere NEAR a Rape Crisis Centre.

Nobody ever suggested it was only English troops, many Scots fought in British army uniform, most of them to escape poverty or indeed pressganged into the army at that time. What we ARE saying is that the Redcoats were just plain wrong. #RedcoatCafe
