Have I got this right that the same Tories who wanted Nicola Sturgeon to resign for not breaking the rules voted to stop one of their own being punished for actually breaking the rules ?
It just shows how hate for Scotland has become acceptable that nobody is surprised by someone saying they hate the FM of Scotland & comparing her to a serial killer England has lost the plot Just turn on GB News for 5 mins and you will see bigotry & racism on an hourly basis
Frantic attempts begin by
@ScotTories
to delete tweets about delaying Holyrood elections after Johnson says English local elections will go ahead in May
What a strange country the UK is SNP attacked from all sides for announcing they will carry out their manifesto promises while Torys get away with breaking theirs
Only in Scotland would the state broadcaster be campaigning to get a Health Secretary sacked for doing a better job than the opposition parties Health Secretaries in rest of UK
My dad died of the virus 7 weeks ago so my first non essential outing since lockdown eased was to visit his grave with my brother whilst observing social distancing. Please stick to the guidance so we can control this killer virus so no more lives are lost
Sarah Smith gives her opinion on Nicola Sturgeon hundreds of complaints No apology from BBC or action taken
Emily Matlis- gives opinion Apology and removed from presenting
So
@DavidLammy
has stated categorically that
@UKLabour
and
@scottishlabour
won't allow Scotland to have a referendum in any circumstances. It would appear Labour no longer support democracy
Have to say
@SkyNews
your so called journalist behaved in a disgusting manner at today's First Minister's Coronavirus briefing His question was not relevant and his subsequent angry haranguing of the First Minister was shameful and an embarrassment
A car Nicola Sturgeon was in was late in paying the £0.00 road tax due and she used VIP area in an airport and it's a national scandal Yet this will be glossed over quickly
Sir
@Keir_Starmer
and
@UKLabour
are saying that Scottish independence is abandoning workers in England whilst simultaneously saying if Scotland's workers vote SNP they will ignore them 🤔
Have to say, as someone who lost both parents during covid, I find this over the top 24/7 coverage insulting. Many had to endure their loved ones dying alone and were unable to mourn or have a proper funeral To see high paid TV presenters faux grief is hard
Asked if there’s a breaking point for scandals in his party - Scottish Tory leader Douglas Ross says it’s “not just a Conservative issue”. He denies a pattern of scandals in Boris Johnson’s govt, but condemns “shameful” misogynistic comments about Angela Raynor.

Here's
@jamesmatthewsky
trying to get a "First Minister refused to answer" headline
@NicolaSturgeon
put him firmly in his place James seems to be running a personal hate campaign now
I'm not going to defend
@NicolaSturgeon
for not having her mask on I would though query why the Tories find this such a big deal whilst actually being found guilty of holding parties while people were restricted from going to funerals isn't ?
Tory logic -Nicola Sturgeon giving a £500 bonus to NHS is a bribe designed to cause division
PM giving millions to his millionaire pals is perfectly acceptable and above board
Both
@SkyNews
and
@BBCNews
lead with England football team. This is potentially the biggest story in England but is it the most important story for the whole of the UK ? This arrogance is one of the reasons people outside England find it hard to support England
@timesscotland
Funny how independence supporters have to provide economic forecasts for years in advance when UK government can crash the economy in one day without producing any figures whatsoever
I notice a concerted attack by
@ScotTories
on the vaccine rollout in Scotland Basically they are accusing NHS Scotland staff and management of deliberately not doing their job. Shameful stuff even for them

#sundayshow
telling us people don't agree with Tories in England and SNP in Scotland despite voting them in to power. Then she tells us the majority don't want independence despite the majority voting for it Clueless
@NicolaSturgeon
My Dad who died from Coronavirus in a care home was one of those included in today's stats I would like to thank you for your understanding that these are not just numbers but are real people who have left behind devastated families.Please never lose sight of that
Last year I spent first Christmas day since dad died of covid, alone Boxing day I stood outside in the sleet & rain with PPE on talking for an hour to my mum through a half opened window 2 metres apart with masks on Meanwhile this lot were having parties Angry doesn't cover it
Every time Labour in Scotland appoint a new leader the same thing happens. They say they will listen, they say they will change, they say they will modernise. Then they end up doing the same as the previous leaders and are surprised that they get the same result
London based parties -"Scotland has a drugs crisis and SNP need to do something about it quickly"
SNP/Greens -" Can we have more powers to solve Scotland's drug crisis quickly ?"
London based parties -No
Just had a look at
@BBCNews
website UK news pages for individual UK countries
Scotland - COVID dominates stories
Northern Ireland - COVID dominates stories
Wales - COVID dominates stories
England - No mention of COVID
What's going on ?
I used to scoff at the likes of
@murdo_fraser
and the
@ScotTories
when they said Scotland was a divided nation but no more. This crisis has divided the country in to people who just want to save lives and those who just want to save the union regardless of how many lives it costs
Now we have
@nickeardleybbc
on
#marr
making things up At no point did Alex Salmond say or infer Scotland was not fit for independence. Pretty obvious after
@BBCsarahsmith
lying it is BBC policy to mislead
The unionist parties in Scotland don't exist to win elections or do anything for Scotland. Their sole purpose is to feed the media with Scotland bad stories.
I don't often comment on the Salmond/Sturgeon spat But I wonder where we would be now if we had just discovered complaints had been made and Nicola Sturgeon had refused to take them seriously and called the women liars ?
Compare the Prime Minister woffling on Marr with the daily briefings given by First Minister How can anybody think we aren't capable of running our own country ?
Funny how Tory politicians can't comment on the Mone case as it's an ongoing investigation yet are quite happy to weigh in about the SNP finances investigation
Last month unionists, including
@BBCScotlandNews
, ŵere attacking SNP for hiking council tax. This week they are attacking them for freezing council tax. Proof if any more was needed that they don't care about Scotland
And they say the SNP are a cult ? In the last week we have had the leaders of
@ScotTories
&
@scottishlabour
basically saying we don't care if people in Scotland die as long as the union isn't seen to be weakened. Just let that sink in
🎥WATCH: In the interests of ensuring clear and consistent advice to the public, the lockdown should be ended on a timeline agreed across all four nations of the UK.

@mailplus
What currency will you use ?
How will you deal with a hard border between England and the UK ?
How will you manage to borrow with no credit rating ?
How will you pay for the electricity gas and oil supplied by UK ?
Unionists journalists in Scotland are in panic mode They desperately want to trumpet new oil and gas licences as good news but that would mean admitting they've been lying to Scotland since 2014
Disgusting stuff from
@Jackson_Carlaw
People in Scotland are working hard to save lives and all they get is told they are a failure by Carlaw and that everything in Scotland is worse than England
Is there any one else old enough to remember when
@BBCScotlandNews
was an actual news program. You used to get reports on things not opinions No pushing of agendas just what was actually happening in Scotland
It would appear
@UKLabour
official policy is to oppose everything proposed by the SNP in Scotland and agree with everything proposed by the Tories in England
Anybody else notice that the number of anti SNP posts has increased. Strange how an algorithm can't work out which party I support and give me more SNP positive stories. It's almost as if it is being deliberately negative
But apart from, free tuition free bus travel, expended childcare, Scottish child payment and the best paid NHS in the uk, what have the SNP done for us
✅ Free tuition
✅ Free bus travel for 2 million Scots
✅ Expanded free childcare
✅ Scottish Child Payment
✅ Best paid NHS staff anywhere in the UK
If
@theSNP
could achieve so much with the limited powers of devolution, think how much more we could do with independence.
#SNP23
Amazing the ignorance and arrogance towards Scotland Now I know Unionists will say it's aimed at the SNP not Scotland but that's simply not true the hate from them is for Scotland
So we have
@jackiebmsp
and
@murdo_fraser
both attacking the hardworking people of Scotland in what would appear to be a coordinated campaign Just how do they think that will make people vote for them ?
Just remember when you read the Scottish media hacks claiming Labour will win Scotland that they are the same people that told you Ruth Davidson would be the next First Minister
So according to Tories it was perfectly reasonable to say goodbye to a work colleague with a party but it wasn't reasonable to go to a family members funeral
The
@ScotTories
are running their election campaign on the slogan Vote for us because we are the only party able to stop the SNP" They offer no hope and no policies It's the simplest form of them and us If that's not divisive I don't know what is
@SkySportsF1
Red Bull have a real problem now with Max. He has publicly stated he thinks he's bigger than the team which they now have to deal with somehow
Nicola Sturgeon briefing still on
@SkyNews
Of course the national publicly funded broadcaster
@BBCScotlandNews
has cut away to tell us what they want us to think
