Just re-read Animal Farm. Scary echoes of SNP Scotland. Mindless sheep chanting '4 legs good, 2 legs bad' (SNP good, Tories bad). Power war between Snowball/Napoleon (Sturgeon/Salmond). Pigeons sent to spead propaganda (Nat spin army). Rewriting history, exploiting ignorance...
Yup, my old Mum died in 2021. Alone. In a care home.
We had a socially distanced funeral. Only my sister and I with several close relatives. Couldn't even hug each other. I'll never forgive Sturgeon for cynically playing politics with people's lives. She's beyond contempt.
This is Màiri McAllan, minister for net zero, appointed by Humza Yousaf.
With net zero life experience, she has the power through HPMAs to destroy thousands of jobs and wreck centuries-old coastal communities.
Live outside the Central Belt? Think seriously before voting
@theSNP
Let's hope Nicola and Greta don't meet up at Cop26. Release of negative energy from Doom Goblin/Gloom Goblin combo could destroy the entire solar system.

@theSNP
Govt is refusing to relax rules on pcr tests for air travel. Yet this same
@theSNP
Govt will allow thousands of delegates from around the world into Cop26 in a few weeks' time, presumably untested. Anyone else struggling to see the logic here?
I have a theory. Our beloved First Minister is blocking everyone who tweets/retweets

That's

You know what's really depressing?
Incompetent, corrupt
@theSNP
up to their arses in sleaze, yet the very people they ripped off will still vote for them. It only takes 1/3 of the electorate to keep Nats in power. Intelligence, common sense and basic decency simply don't matter.
Looking at energy price comparison sites. Surprisingly
@theSNP
government's power company isn't listed, depite Sturgeon's pledge in 2017 to set one up by 2021. Anyone got a website address for it?
So let's think about the
@scottishgreens
record in government.
Gender recognition bill: Failed
Ban on fishing: Failed
Deposit return scheme: Failed
Now boiler ban: Failed
How long do we have to pay the fat salaries/expenses of failed ministers
@patrickharvie
and
@lornaslater
?
Patrick Harvie left humiliated as Scottish Government delay his hated gas boiler ban plans
After boasting that all Scots would forced to install heat pumps his timeline is scrapped by Scot Gov. He should be used to humiliation, it must a daily occurrence.
Utterly disgusting that
@StephenFlynnSNP
is trying to politicise the Horizon scandal.
@theSNP
is no stranger to malicious prosecutions.
What a pathetic individual.

@SilvioTattiscon

... have you seen this?
@theSNP
So the
@theSNP
held an inquiry, at public expense, into 1980s miners' strike to 'understand the impact on communities'.
What about an investigation into the impact of the EU Common Fisheries Policy on thousands of folk in coastal communities who saw their livelihoods wiped out?
Just realised - the ferries fiasco happened in 2015, Natalie McGarry's light-fingered doings were reported that year, as was the Sheku Bayoh incident.
It seems everything in Scotland now takes 7 years to investigate/resolve. Wonder what will be in the headlines in 2029?
Well it looks like
@NicolaSturgeon
failed in her efforts to broker a deal over Scotland's strikes chaos. On the plus side, great that she managed to fit it into her hectic schedule, what with the foreign junkets, magazine photo shoots, Edinburgh Festival appearances...
So who will be the new
@theSNP
health secretary?
Maybe daft wee Mairi McAllan?
Lacklustre Mairi Gougeon?
What about giving Shona Robison yet another portfolio to screw up?
Poor
@HumzaYousaf
doesn't exactly have a vast pool of talent to choose from...more a very shallow puddle.
@HumzaYousaf
So goodbye to North Sea oil and gas? Presumably we'll end up importing both at huge expense because the 'green' technology is simply not fit for purpose. Plus you'd totally screw it up.
So odious
@NicolaSturgeon
says that if the Supreme Court rejects her ridiculous

She won't be fighting it on

Broadband down. Again. Can't use it to work from home. Again. Openreach unavailable until next week. Again.
I live 25 miles from Scotland's biggest city. Why is fibre not available? Didn't

promise it would be Scotland-wide by now?
So fed up with this country.
Wise words from this Scottish farmer as number of farmers in Scotland start a tractor protest convoy against the government who are wilfully destroying the farming industry through neglect and restrictive policies.

@HumzaYousaf
Pathetic. No place in Nat Scotland for aspiration, hard work and ambition.
Why do you hate strivers and wealth creators, Mr First Activist?
You really should have grown out of ludicrous student politics by now.
@ScotNational
Please inform her the word is 'roughshod' not 'roughshot' as she repeatedly says. Not her fault. She was educated after Nats took ruinous control of Scottish schools.
Isn't it funny how
@theSNP
politicians keep 'accidentally' being snapped alongside extremists?
Remember when
@EvelynTweedSNP
was pictured holding an ultra nationalist flag and didn't 'realise' what it was?
@NicolaSturgeon
@theSNP
Just teach a parrot a few key phrases and it could go in you place: 'Scotland's voice being ignored', 'Creating our own future', 'indyref 2', 'The Toaries dun it...'
It could then sit bobbling its head and squawking nonsense...just like you.
@ScotExpress
@lornaslater
Utterly unfit to be an MSP, never mind a government minister with a fat salary, vast expenses and frequent lavish junkets...at our expense.
@GBNEWS
Can't remember. Don't have that information to hand. Redacted because of patient confidentiality. Those records appear to have gone missing, we followed Westminster's lead etc, etc, etc..........
Here's an idea for a referendum
@NicolaSturgeon
. Let's vote on
@theSNP
's ruinous
#NetZero
plan. With our last coal power station blown up by you, your opposition to oil/gas exploration and rejection of nuclear, would an indy Scotland be paralysed when the wind didn't blow?
@HumzaYousaf
Just remind me Humza, under which health secretary did the Scottish NHS record its worst ever waiting times? Strange that you're not talking about the health service during this campaign, isn't it?
@PeteWishart
What do WE want?
Competence, transparency, honesty, common sense, fiscal responsibility, inspiring leadership, effective government...
When do we want it?
Now...
(But Scotland will have to wait until we're rid the corrupt, lying
@theSNP
first )
@kezdugdale
@MerrynSW
@ScotParl
Perfect example of the contempt Scotland's political class has for the people. Kez thinks we're too thick to recognise big, fat fibs like this.
OK, let's say he's telling the truth. Isn't there a potentially serious security breach if the iPad held sensitive government data or private information about his constituents?
Surely this alone merits a full investigation.
🧵 MAIRI McALLAN — A THREAD:
My interest was piqued by the re-emergence of the deflection tweet below, and Mairi’s recent bold claim that wurrld leaders regularly approach her and the SNP for advice.
I got to wondering - she must have some CV for that to be the case… 🤔

True to Orwellian form,
@NicolaSturgeon
and
@theSNP
have launched their two-minute hate. From Animal Farm (see my pinned tweet) to 1984 in a single bound.
@JohnSwinney
@BBCGaryR
It's 'referendums', John. You were education secretary for years. Would expect you to know that.
We can see why our schools are in such a state.
@ScotGovFM
@HumzaYousaf
So Humza splashing our cash to 'fix' problems the SNP has failed to address during all its years in government?
You're fooling no one, Mr Continuity.
Yes, Lorna Slater of the
@scottishgreens
is a steaming hypocrite. But what worries me is, what if Scotland had suffered some kind of dire emergency requiring the Minister for Green Skills, Circular Economy and Biodiversity while she was down in London?
Think we dodged a bullet.
@AgentP22
I agree
@AgentP22
this is the most racist thing I have read all day .'The kettles on and everybody is welcome in the Nat Utopia Scotland' but not if you are English.
@BritishGas
So we in the UK should freeze our ars*s off with these useless contraptions, further cutting our less than 2% of global 'greenhouse gases', while the people in big- polluting countries like China, US, Russia etc will still be nice and fossil-fuelled toasty? No thanks.
Have you got savings? Would you like to see your hard-earned cash converted to junk currency overnight? That's what
@NicolaSturgeon
's and

@JennyGilruth
@ITVBorderRB
In charge of Scotland's education...and she wasn't even head of the modern studies department when she was a teacher!
Jenny is a prime example of the low grade politicians we now have running Scotland.
@paulhutcheon
Just as well Scotland's NHS isn't in crisis, education system in free fall, drug death toll worst in Europe...otherwise Nicola wouldn't be able to concentrate on her Vogue interviews and showboating at Cop26.
@AshtenRegan
Yes, we all love Scotland. That's why the sensible majority reject your ruinous separatist nonsense.
Such a shame. You seemed a reasonably decent politician before you started spouting your indy extremism.
@olafdoesstuff
Yay, been waiting for Olaf the Unread to stick his oar in. It seems we can add devolution and the Scotland Act to the list of things he doesn't understand.
@AgentP22
Can honestly think of nothing worse than listening to Cummings and Sturgeon spouting cringey Scoatish pish. Would rather have root canal treatment without anaesthetic.
Isn't it lovely watching the Nats tearing themselves apart?
Long time coming but even cowed separatists have eventually realised Sturgeon's a wrong 'un.
Well done SNP. Wrecking woodland and decimating wildlife in pursuit of a ludicrous and insanely inefficient 'green' energy policy. It's what happens when virtue-signalling replaces common sense.
