Just so we're clear, Scottish Labour's position is that people urgently need Labour in power, but they refuse to even try securing any power in 31/32 councils, because it would mean working with at least one other centre-left party and that's apparently unacceptable

There is no need for new nuclear power in Scotland. Our energy future is in renewables of every source & scale.

The three pro-UK parties are now led by an Old Etonian and two Knights of the realm, who all went to the same university. Totally normal country...

Can't stop thinking about this. The UK Government have just published a report which puts a positive cultural spin *on the slave trade* But sure, there's no institutional racism in Britain

Says a lot that the UK Government wouldn't extend the furlough when Scotland & Wales were crying out for it but flipped when England needed it. English workers deserve support but so did workers across the country. The Tories have just shown, again, where power lies in the UK.

A Westminster Government which Scotland didn't vote for, using a veto power it gave itself after a Brexit Scotland also voted against, has stopped a recycling scheme which Scotland's elected Parliament did vote for This is the tip of the iceberg if Scotland stays within the UK

If you're about to complain about young people's behaviour as the cause for infections rising the most amongst their age group, first ask yourself what the average age was of the staff at the bars, restaurants, cinemas etc. you've been in recently.

A sickeningly disingenuous speech from @RuthDavidsonMSP , making for a fitting end to a sickeningly disingenuous decade as an MSP. Now she slinks off to the Lords, never to be held democratically accountable again.

As a Protestant who can not only still walk past this Catholic Church but who would be welcome inside it, this 'religious no-go zones' line is some premium strength BS. When you'd rather cancel a march than avoid going past a Catholic Church we've seen all that we need to.

The Scottish electorate did not vote for a Green/SNP government. In May 2021, Nicola Sturgeon failed to get her majority. Now, we’re living with the consequences of an undemocratic duocracy. (Yes, I made up that word)

I have requested that the SQA appear before Parliament's Education Committee immediately to justify themselves and their system. We told them it would penalise young people in deprived communities, they ignored us and that is exactly what has happened. #SQAresultsday #SQAresults

Watching major Scottish Government press conference on school closures via twitter because the BBC aren't carrying it live. Instead, they're running a piece on what the Belgian government are doing.
