I absolutely love
@NicolaSturgeon
and I won’t even hide the fact that I’m absolutely saddened to see her go. Even though almost 60% of Scot’s still had faith in her. She deserves a massive gin, a long holiday and all the good books. You’ve outshone them all doll 🤍
This is the worst political interview I’ve ever witnessed from a member of Government! I think
@piersmorgan
has been the best journalist UK wide throughout this horrific episode
@GMB
I wonder if any tories on my timeline would like to help me understand why it’s once in a generation for Scotland but once in a pint of milk life cycle for them?
I’m absolutely so pleased for this family of course I am.
However I hope that when people in the uk reflect on a family fleeing on a small boat they perhaps see how it truly can be anyone when you least expect it…..
We are safe for now. The scariest moment in my entire life. After wading into the sea and climbing on a fishing trawler, we are away from danger. I don’t know how they’ll process this when the dust settles, but what brave boys. 😢 💙 Family is everything

You know it sounds sycophantic but Nicola Sturgeon is just such a genuinely, decent, nice, mega hard working and good person. Taking the politics out of it I feel utterly heart sorry for someone who has so obviously sacrificed so much for their job and country. Horrible.
Since
@NicolaSturgeon
has been elected the UK Government is now on to its forth PM. Nicola doesn’t seek attention, she sought the votes and support of the Scottish people and the the parliament to which she serves. She is stable, solid and true to her views.
This girl was told, due to her disability she might never even sit Nat Fives…. Today she got her first unconditional offer to study English at the University of Dundee - this is completely down to her hard work and her self belief… 🥺
I was going to write loads of tweets in support of
@NicolaSturgeon
all day today but the whole thing is so utterly ridiculous. She didn’t drive to a castle, she didn’t get on a train, she forgot a mask briefly while at a FUNERAL and tbh give her fu¥king break! peace ✌🏻
I absolutely cannot take myself out the front to clap for a 100 year old gent who had to walk in his garden to prop up an underfunded NHS. This is typical Tory tactics. I will however be thankful silently for his efforts this year and for his service
One of the biggest Tory’s I know has just text me to say he will be voting SNP and it’s time Scotland finds its way out. He is a wealthy business man and I’m shooketh. That’s the legacy of Cummings
Nicola Sturgeon looks absolutely shattered. Always kind wishing the dads a nice day, considerate to her neighbours and always direct. I don’t care if you call me a cult member but I have 100% faith in her.
🧵 🗳️towards the end of the pandemic I lost a baby, foetal maternal services were rammed so I had to miscarry at home and deliver in my toilet, P sat outside the door. Services collapsing, I was advised to take care of the remains at home. I buried my baby under this tree. 1/2
John Swinney has acted. I don’t understand why he has to resign when he listened, sought a resolution and acted? If We ask politicians to consider their position and then ask them to quit, does that not encourage politicians to never change their mind.
Nicola Sturgeon never charged or fined….
Rishi Sunak fined over partygate and for not wearing a seatbelt
Will he get a third warning for passing comment on a live police investigation
Charlatan!
A special song on the BBC charity programme to help ease the burden kicked off by Gary Barlow. How about celebrities like him pay their taxes? Saw Lewis Hamilton congratulate Cpt Tom, aye Lewis you’re another one who avoids what you’re due... Absolutely scunnered with this shit
One time I was in silverburn Starbucks and a lady entrepreneur was in front of me. The card machine was broken and the lady didn’t have enough cash so
I made it up for her. She didn’t say thank you. I will let you decide who it was, but clearly I hold a grudge lol
I’ve just saw a Muslim woman having to tweet locations of marches due over the weekend, encouraging the muslim community not to be out alone. I cannot imagine how scary that must be. It’s a bloody disgrace.
Last week I shared this photo of my wee baby and what the baby loss memorial book will do for women like me. I turned my work laptop on at 7am to see a motion from an MSP using this to point score for their extreme pro life agenda. I’ve cried for over an hour. 1/6
Thank you
@NicolaSturgeon
for the chance to register our baby’s loss in a commemorative book this summer. This was our wee baby and they were so loved. I can’t believe they’ll be recognised 🤍
I’m off to bed. I hope
@NicolaSturgeon
is resting, recharging and I hope someone has told her membership numbers have risen tonight. It’s not blind loyalty I have, it’s seeing someone with compassion, integrity and decency lead my country - that’s why I’m loyal. Goodnight 💜
The First Minister crying over deaths in care homes is a sign of her absolute strength. We tell people who are sad, struggling and finding life hard that it’s ok not to be ok. There is no greater sign of showing that, than crying for those you lead when they are lost 💛
I hope people aren’t too “judgey” on this. Many people rely on primark for clothes (especially for kids) and during this tough economic time kids will have outgrown jammies, pants will become holey, incomes will be reduced but kids will still grow. Yes be careful but also be kind
Non essential shopping starts back up in Scotland (if they have outside facing entrance/exit) - customers queuing outside Primark in Glasgow city centre since 5.30am
I was in Edinburgh having a day out yesterday, a lovely day, haven’t checked Twitter BUT man has it gone off all because of my support for
@NicolaSturgeon
The abuse the FM stakes is mind blowing and it makes me admire her even more. She’s gracious.
Yes I am a fan girl!
So let me get this right in Glasgow it absolutely IS Susan Aitken’s fault whenever the bins aren’t dealt with properly BUT in Edinburgh it ISN’T the local Governments fault at all because………
Sarah Harding was dubbed a wild child and often made fun of for her party going ways but man am I glad she lived her life to the fullest. Yet another reason to remember why we must let others live and let live. I hope she’s falling out a night club in heaven having had a ball!
Nicola Sturgeon facing the media in the garden lobby, in front of everyone, answering every question reasonably and not throwing people like Michelle Thomson under the bus is exactly why she was a leader with grace. She’s asserting her innocence once again and I stand with her.
I wasn’t sure about sharing this here because Twitter can be hard, but then I thought I have 11k people who follow me so I thought it would maybe help someone. In June at nine weeks (after a huge shock) my little baby died. No reason, no warning (thread)
Imagine you’re a young person battling cancer and watching
@AmyCallaghanSNP
who has beaten the illness, advocated for young people with cancer and is about to win a David and Goliath battle. That’s why politics is transformative. YOU can do anything!
The comments on this are vile. Imagine on a day where a young woman lost her life due to trolling, bullying and poor mental health others still think it’s ok. We are a mess. Social media has not bettered our lives. I love
@NicolaSturgeon
and I don’t care what anyone thinks.
My dad was taken to hospital yesterday they think a heart attack. He’s a robust man and is in good humour, however we can’t see him as NHS Lanarkshire has closed the hospital to visitors due to the number of covid patients. Please get vaccinated
Mad how some right wingers in Scotland would have done anything to close the borders to other European countries to protect people from Covid and yet one whisper of protecting Scotland’s people from any spread from rest of the UK and they scream “BUT THE UNION”
This is
@NicolaSturgeon
for
@BritishVogue
THIS is bringing politics into the lives of so many women, like the girls in my salon. I’m obsessed with this shoot, the styling, everything!
Kaye Burley on in the background at Scot Parliament and I Hear her say “what do you think of Mays decision to work with Corbyn? Who some would describe as a ‘Marxist Devil’?”
It’s language like this which is causing all kinds of horrendous right wing behaviour.
I feel free to tell some home truths. The reality of the SQA fiasco is that some of those shouting the loudest in red and blue are also some of the most careerist arseholes I’ve met in politics and actually the only person probably really fretting about kids WAS John Swinney
See if you’re sticking up for CMO please come and speak to our constituents with no garden and so high up they don’t even have a window that opens, especially ones with kids. Then try and say it’s a “witch hunt”
Entitlement puts people right aff politics. This is what this is!
Woke up to see “resign sturgeon” is trending because she took up the opportunity to visit the open, promote Scottish tourism and aid the covid recovery. If that was the Queen the same people would tell us that’s the very reason we need an unelected monarch…..
To say Mhairi Black resigning is a sign of independence being over is daft. If the best talent the SNP has is coming “up the road” then perhaps, like many want, the case will be fought from home. Mhairi Black will (I think) end up in Holyrood and from there, unstoppable.
As
@NicolaSturgeon
announces increase to child payment, there is no question
@scotgov
have children at their heart. This sling was in my baby box and it’s changed my post natal experience, without the box I’d never have tried it. Lorenzo absolutely loves it too
Things I hate:
Racism
Sexism
Homophobia
Bigotry
And just for the record for all those calling me a fen*an bas*ard. I’m the Protestant daughter of a Church of Scotland minister with Italian Catholic heritage. Ram yer hatred.
Isn’t it mad that a man spent 44 billion on a platform people use to tell me my lips are too big, call politicians “wee nippy” and folk use to moan about fitba; when he could literally have almost wiped out world hunger?
Happy Mother’s Day
@NicolaSturgeon
Thank you for loving all the care experienced kids, thank you for standing up for mums like me, thank you for your support in some dark times and thank you showing women can do anything. Mothering is defined by the love of others not biology 💛
I’m putting this out there now.
If Scotland voted to remain by 62%
If the SNP a remain party wins every/majority of local authority regions in the EU elections
If UK still leaves he EU
Scotland must have
#indyref2
immediately
Tomorrow I hope everyone across the uk reflects not only on what we need in the future but what came to pass under the Tory government. I will be voting SNP because Scotland needs independence. Still yes, always yes.
Tories for the whole campaign: a vote for The SNP is a vote for independence
Tories now: not all those who voted for The SNP favour independence
You couldn’t make it up
But your weans can go to Uni for free, your maw won’t have to wait nearly as long for a new hip and all your medicine will be free.... because let’s be honest if you’re earning £50k or more and getting all that too, what’s wrong with taking care of the society you live in
If you earn £50,000 in Scotland you will be paying a whopping £1,500 more tax than someone south of the border- after SNP failed to match our Budget tax cuts.

BBC News - Scottish budget: Higher earner income tax gap to widen
I’m so done with the Michael Matheson story. The weans watched the fitba as weans do and he’s paid the money back. It’s like a pure distraction for all the other things we need and want our leadership to be dealing with. I actually couldn’t give a monkeys long as it’s paid
Inflation up again. Food prices through the roof. Staff shortages. Small businesses ready to go under. This is what we should be discussing on Twitter.
Scotland chose a different path to Tory Brexit!!
We must have independence
Im going on a wee follow spree of Indy supporters who are not abusing the First Minister, who aren’t interested in politicising vulnerable people and who just want progress. If that’s you and you follow me and I don’t follow you back then comment and I’ll get it done 👇🏻
You can’t continuously claim independence is your goal when you are obsessed with dragging down the First Minister, it’s her job to negotiate how we do this and certain “pro Indy” people are single handedly trying to smash up her mandate with criticism and lack of support…
The orange order walking through my scheme at 9am and I can’t stand it or anything it represents. Police following them, why do we use resources on this!!? Why??
George Galloway claims to be a radical, a socialist, yet he wants to tie his home country of Scotland to the skirts of a Tory Government which is likely to stay in power for yrs. Why? Because he is a selfish political opportunist. I am not afraid of ppl like him or his following
Today I had my 12 week scan. I’m a much further on at 13 weeks and 2 days. After such a harrowing loss of my baby last year I am a nervous wreck going into scans, but today thanks to the amazing staff, it was wonderful. Kindness was shown and for me that’s a gift 🤍
North Lanarkshire Council for the first time since it’s formation is no longer run by Labour. After years of letting this area down this council is now run by
@theSNP
My heart
Im so down tonight. Im having to work on which is fine but I’m sick of covid, I’m sick of arguments between the maskers and the anti vaxxers. Im sick of the PM. Im sick of the constant anxiety at the pit of my stomach. I miss what life used to be like so bad I’m crying :(
Good morning twitter in a world that can be unkind, cruel and scary I thought it be nice to share that I’m having a very health boy 💙
He will be raised to be a feminist, inclusive and hopefully in a better world than we live now.
It’s a BOY 💙💙💙
Of course the PM should be tested he is leading this country and us, it’s imperative he stays healthy. His partner also has a baby on the way and he is in touch with more people than we can imagine. Gees oh. Wind it in
News flash “Richard Branson warns his virgin airlines could collapse without government cash”
RICHARD BRANSON TRIED TO SUE OUR NHS, ID RATHER FLY HOLDING ON TO A BALLOON!
Nicola Sturgeon stayed at a £500-a-night London hotel at the taxpayer’s expense during a “farewell tour” and took a business class flight, according to Scottish government data
I look forward to a statement from Rangers (like last time) blaming everyone else.
Players drinking and partying while weddings, big birthdays and funerals have gathered with hardly a soul; not to mention a further slap to Glasgow hospitality.
@RangersFC
what say you!?
While Jo Swinson is plastering her face over a bus and renaming her party as her very own,

@RangersFC
on a day where Scotland stands up to protect women your fans are absolutely tearing a woman apart. Do you think it’s big or clever abusing
@AngelaHaggerty
? Cause I sure don’t. It’s an absolute disgrace and a poor reflection of a club. Disgusted.
When Italy had the highest death toll in Europe I watched a sky news report that was the most sobering experience of my life. Yet now the death toll in the UK is higher and the media urgency just doesn’t seem the same
Thank you
@NicolaSturgeon
for the chance to register our baby’s loss in a commemorative book this summer. This was our wee baby and they were so loved. I can’t believe they’ll be recognised 🤍
Jackie Bailies tweet is the second time I’ve witnessed the Labour Party use the murder of innocent children to politically point score. It’s a disgrace.
The very fact that the FM has to keep repeating herself, and that Margaret Mitchell had to draw out a single question for over half an hour, just shows how little those who would seek to topple her actually have.
I’ve heard stories similar or worse than ours and I cannot be help but be enraged. My sister, a hospice chaplain, sat with dying people instead of loved ones and families. During all of this the tories partied. They danced during our heartbreak. It can never be forgotten.
I’ve taken some time off from Twitter and focusing on work and….. growing my wee family……. It’s certainly been an interesting few months! Baby M 2024 🤍🫶🏻
It’s funny that when a “four nation approach” it’s always about the devolved nations following England and the story is never that England should, perhaps, stay in line with the rest of “Great Britain” - partnership of equals? I think not.
This young girl is getting called anattention seeker and being told to get back to work because there is a pandemic, why because she is wearing makeup! That’s probably what keeps her mind sane, feeling good and able to get out to battle. Go show her a wee bit of love troops
@lipa_nessa
I’m so sorry for your community and especially for women who wear hijab and therefor may be more identifiable in some instances. I hope you know lots of people, like me, are standing with you and love our Muslim sisters 🤍
I went out for a walk and came back home to hear party membership and support for Nicola Sturgeon is up. Let’s show new members a better way to do politics and let’s move forward for the people of Scotland
I watched a lot of the GRR Bill debate and I heard many gender critical female MSPs say that through this women didn’t have a voice, literally while using their voice. In three days we did not here one trans voice……. Not once.
What a joke Ian Blackford is. Scotland is not
#your
country. The SNP do not speak for Scotland. Your party want indyref2 to drag Scotland out of the United Kingdom and rejoin the E.U. Scotland’s trade with UK is worth 4x that of the EU. 🏴 🇬🇧
The club isn’t responsible for the decisions of thousands of people. However, your players were wearing scarfs from strangers during a pandemic. Manager and team hung from from windows encouraging it. No “go home” statement till the next day. This don’t blame us mentality is wild
I wish
@policescotland
would do something now. So many decent rangers fans I know gutted that this is what people are talking about instead of what happens on the pitch.
@RangersFC
videos of players and staff interacting with fans yesterday!? Call it out for THEIR safety!
