No matter your views on her stated reasons for quitting, Rosie Duffield has made a political career out of dehumanising one of the most marginalised groups in society.
She should never have been allowed the privilege of resigning. Labour should have withdrawn the whip long ago.
Perth hustings, I am a Tory councillor, have no criminal record, help run a 100 year old family business, set up two businesses that have become successful in there own right, pay substantial taxes, what exactly makes me scum? This is a hate filled personal attack on every Tory.
These two disgraces are biggest grifters ever to enter the political arena in 🏴. They fooled so many for so long but the House of Murrell is days away from a full collapse.
@theSNP
is rotten to its very core and it’s all starting to come out and they deserve to be wiped out.
Dark days in Scotland, now if you disagree with
@theSNP
you’re homophobic, transphobic and/or racist. Honest debate and conversation now well and truly dead in Scotland under separatist rule.
This stinks.
@HumzaYousaf
must come clean on why he was desperate to meet with Erdogan especially after he pledged £750k of tax payers money to Gaza and then his extended family fled Gaza into Turkey. Did he abuse his position as first minister to do a deal? So many questions.
NEW: FM Humza Yousaf quizzed on his Cop28 conversation with Turkey’s President Erdogan says he would raise human rights abuses with him should he visit Scotland and denies it was to do with getting extended family out of Gaza
@LBC
@LBCNewsScot
This is absolutely disgusting. In Scotland you can vote at 16 in local and Scottish elections because you’re deemed old enough to make that decision but commit rape below 25 and you walk free. What message does this send out as a deterrent? So awful.
If you’re stupid enough to compare standing in a queue to be murdered in a gas chamber to the inconvenience of a few extra minutes in a queue at an airport, you shouldn’t be allowed outside your own house. Complete imbecile.

I studied accountancy at university. An auditor refusing to sign off accounts is very serious, the inability to find another auditor to take on the role after 6 months is beyond alarming.

Tourism is worth £4 billion to Scotlands economy. I run holiday let’s on our farm, I know how vital the industry is.
@HumzaYousaf
just scrapped the tourism minister role but made way for an independence minister 🤬🤬🤬. This will be a worse administration than anyone guessed.
Well well well. After all the doubts I topped the poll in Montrose and district. Thank you and I’ve got your back 💪🏻. Well done to to my

honestly think we are that stupid 🥴🤦🏻♂️.
Nadia is the real first minister and Humza is her useful idiot. Humza gives £750,000 to Gaza and his extended family flee to Turkey. What was Nadia really doing in Turkey and were there backroom deals made with your taxpayers money? It’s rotten.

The silence from Scottish Labour and the Scottish Lib Dem’s is deafening surrounding the absolute mess Nicola Sturgeon has got Scotland in. Own your voting record in Holyrood, this is on you too with your whipped voting position.
A crumbling legacy left behind by
@NicolaSturgeon
who, along with her
@theSNP
colleagues have left Scotland in a much worse position than when they came to power 16 years ago. They have fuelled hate and divided Scotland and should never be forgiven.
Stop the nonsense.
@theSNP
spent £99,000 to come 2nd in a by election in Shetland yet only £90,000 on the EU referendum, separatists couldn’t care less about the EU, in 2014 as they voted to leave it so please stop this faux outrage of being ‘ripped’ out the EU, it’s pathetic.
Let’s be blunt,
@NicolaSturgeon
is terrified of Westminster. Holyrood is her playground & echo chamber. She handed the
@scottishgreens
£30k each with ministerial positions just to protect herself. She’s all talk but look at her dire record.
I see
@theSNP
politicians trying to make cheap political digs at

5p fuel tax cut by saying half of Glasgow don’t drive. Gentle reminder

Scotland doesn’t begin and end in the central belt, most of Scotland is very rural where car is your only realistic option.
To the three lads in Celtic tops with an Irish flag chanting “Ooh Ah up the RA” on the train, it’s not big, it’s not clever and just shows how ignorant and stupid you are. So sad to witness in 2023.
You undermined 🇬🇧 foreign policy because you were desperate to get a photograph and some attention. Meanwhile, back in 🏴 we are still lacking basic communication and support after storm

whilst £30 million is untouched for the referendum that isn’t happening and their fake embassies. I take it we aren’t judging
@NicolaSturgeon
on education anymore given their horrendous record in government and dire decisions & priorities
A gentle reminder that
@NicolaSturgeon
invited this cretin into power to protect herself in Holyrood. Another one of her many many failures as first minister. Slater shouldn’t be allowed on a PTA never mind be a government minister.
Last week Minister Lorna Slater signed some kind of private finance deal, the details of which are unclear. Watch as she attempts to explain. Then marvel that she has no idea what interest rate the bridging loan she refers to is subject to.
Liz Truss is right saying
@NicolaSturgeon
should be ignored. After all, the dear leader continues to ignore the democratic will of 2,001,926 Scots so it’s fitting she receives the same treatment.
We are at the stage of peak
@theSNP
arrogance where we should not ask for evidence or proof but blindly accept everything
@theSNP
says. This lack of respect for Holyrood and Scotland shows the true colours of what disregard
@theSNP
have for 🏴. Drunk on power, out of control.
This stinks, why would the Turkish government pay for a Dundee city Cllr to go on a jolly? The potential conflict of interest here is off the charts and none of it makes sense. Why was she really there?
Proof that
@lornaslater
was forcing the implementation of the DRS scheme when it was clearly full of problems and her boss had to step in and delay it.
@HumzaYousaf
you now need to remove Slater as she’s unfit in every regard and can’t deliver anything.
Olaf, my family own and run and arable and potato farm. Fertiliser has risen to over £1,000 a tonne from £260. Red diesel has gone from £0.46 to £1.15 all in the space of 6 months. None of these inputs have risen because of brexit as you know fine well so stop playing stupid.
Remember how Brexiteers we’re constantly promising lower food prices, lower energy bills and more money for the NHS?
Can anyone name one thing that actually got cheaper since Brexit? 🤷
This stinks, the question must be asked, did Humza use taxpayers money as a bribe to get him family out of Gaza when they ignored foreign office advice and travelled to a highly volatile and dangerous part of the world?
🔴 Humza Yousaf has been accused of a conflict of interest after overriding officials to give £250,000 to a Gaza aid agency while his family was trapped in the warzone.

Today all that happened was

Hard work doesn’t pay in Scotland. If you earn over £27,000
@theSNP
and
@scottishgreens
think you’re rich and they are coming after more of your hard earned money. It’s a race to the bottom with separatists in power.
As councils make more and more cuts due to austerity forced on them by
@theSNP
, they will blow millions of YOUR money on a court case they know they’ll lose just for the sake of pettiness and weak leadership desperate for a fight over anything.
Many excitable separatists having a hissy fit about mandates lately. Your casual reminder that the total electorate in Scotland is 4,245,200. 1,291,204 people voted for
@theSNP
in 2021 or less than 31% of the total electorate. As always, facts matter.
This is very serious,
@scottishgreens
have full control over their new puppet
@HumzaYousaf
because if they walk out the door he loses control of Holyrood. The result, Scotland with extremists running the show fronted by an absolute clown.
During the pandemic
@NicolaSturgeon
was drunk on power. She loved her daily lectures from the podium and politicised the pandemic in her obsessive pursuit of framing everything as 🏴 vs 🏴 and causing as much division as possible, shameless.
I don’t understand why an international company like
@Nike
is hiring a man to dress up in woman’s sportswear. So many red flags pandering to such high levels of attention seeking.
15 years in power has left
@theSNP
led
@scotgov
an absolute mess and disgrace. There is no transparency, no debate, no respect and if you dare raise concerns or questions you’re an automatic enemy hounded into silence. Holyrood is an absolute joke.
8 years ago today I voted ‘no’ to the breaking up of my country 🇬🇧. Since then we have seen many changes domestically and globally but one thing remains unchanged and that’s my absolute love of 🏴 and 🇬🇧. Together, as one.
#bettertogether
The dismissive manner to which
@NicolaSturgeon
displayed when asked basic questions at her wee press conference tells you everything you need to know. It’s a sham, she hasn’t a clue, the very idea of what separation from 🇬🇧 would mean is a complete unknown.
#BetterTogether
Scotland is a much more divided and toxic nation now than it was when Sturgeon came to power. That’s her legacy, that’s what she’s done. History will not look kindly on her or her horrendous domestic record as first minister.
@theSNP
must be voted out of power.
Never forget
@theSNP
hounded Wendy Alexander in a vile witch hunt from office over £950.
@thesnp
are laughing at us whilst embroiled in police investigations with absolutely no self-awareness of how rotten the party are. A bunch of grifters.
Warned not to travel to Gaza the same time Humza was trying to undermine the UK government daily as first minster. Yet who did he go crying to for special treatment in a situation all of their own making. Still need to find out about the £250k he sent 👀
Get the feeling that
@NicolaSturgeon
motivation for the GRR bill was to stoke a constitutional fight with 🇬🇧 government as she knew they’d block it. This has backfired on
@theSNP
massively as most Scots don’t back the bill and support the intervention. She’s lost the room.
Make no mistake,
@theSNP
will be extra cocky and smug over the next few months but they know
@BorisJohnson
resigning is a huge blow to them and attention on their horrendous domestic record and sleekit behaviour will hopefully be in the spotlight for all to see.
26,032 people or 0.48% of Scotlands population voted for
@HumzaYousaf
to become Scotlands new first minister. I assume he will now call a Scottish election to put it to the people, after all it’s what they demanded the Tory’s did only months ago.
“Sleazy”?
@theSNP
politicians cheered when their sex pest pal Patrick Grady was welcomed back into the fold. No one does sleazy quite like
@theSNP
but I suspect the irony of your outburst will be totally lost on you.
Remember,
@theSNP
are only interested in fighting with the UK government. They don’t care about Scotland, health, education, you etc. it’s all about playing the victim and causing division. The most regressive political party in the UK with nothing positive to offer.
This is a day of enormous joy and relief for Emily Hand and her family. An innocent child who was lost has now been found and returned, and we breathe a massive sigh of relief. Our prayers have been answered.
Let’s be honest,
@NicolaSturgeon
is bored of being first minister. She’s morphed into an attention seeking celebrity who heads wherever the most cameras are.
EXCL: Nicola Sturgeon planning trips to United Nations in New York and COP27 in Cairo in coming weeks, prompting fresh claims First Minister is sidelining key responsibilities amid crises in Scotland
Remember when
@NicolaSturgeon
said her
@theSNP
@scotgov
would be the most open and transparent ever? That was a lie.
@theSNP
are the most secretive and regressive party in 🇬🇧 politics. It’s all smoke and mirrors to deceive.
.
@NicolaSturgeon
is all about
@NicolaSturgeon
. Her narcissistic behaviour, massive ego and sense of importance got out of control. She thought she was untouchable when in fact, she’s just one massive grifter milking the 🇬🇧 tax payer.
Last

@AngusCouncil
meeting wasn’t aired until after the election. A dark day for democracy in Angus as
@theSNP
elected provost Boyd bullied and intimidated independent Cllr Speed. Disgusting behaviour and he must be removed as he is not fit to continue in his role.
Let’s not pretend
@NicolaSturgeon
has been anything more than an abject failure as first minister and her record shows this. No one talks down and fails 🏴 more than
@theSNP
, 🏴 will never thrive until we remove these single focused and regressive nationalists.
The jokes over, stop this utter nonsense. 🏴 tax base it tiny and a very few are shouldering a huge burden. Takes away any incentive to work with this endless obsession of ‘freebies’ which
@theSNP
do to buy votes because they are so desperate.
The only people to blame for this utter mess is
@NicolaSturgeon
and
@HumzaYousaf
who have allowed these extremists Greens into government to protect them from scrutiny in Holyrood. Absolute cowards who are destroying Scotland.
Tweet now deleted but another slip of the mask. Can you imagine the frothing at the mouth and outrage from
@NicolaSturgeon
if a senior political figure referred to Scotland as North Britain?
Surely he now knows he’s been set up as the fall guy? Kept in the dark as Sturgeon fed on the last lifeboat as the ship started to sink. If
@theSNP
aren’t even honest to each other then the rest of us have no hope.
The naive and incompetent
@theSNP
have treated the increasingly decreasing tax base in 🏴 as a cash cow. Nothing is free and
@theSNP
have been raiding hard working taxpayers to fund their pet projects and eventually people have enough and leave.
Do you have any idea how the Jewish community have felt since October? Open antisemitism on our streets, open support for terrorist Hamas from extremist Islamists here in the🇬🇧, hate march after hate march cutting off the Jewish community as they will be targeted. Shameless man.
Muslims are messaging each other with advice on how to stay safe and areas to avoid because of the far-right.
And some folk are moaning about whether we should term thugs with swastikas tattooed on their backs who are attacking mosques, as far-right? Yeah, you're the problem.
Scotland’s vaccine passport seems worth the £4.5 million cost to the taxpayer now we are heading back into more restrictions 🤦🏻♂️. Another

Remember,
@theSNP
don’t want a referendum. They are too cosy at Westminster and it’s the perfect screen. They need the continual deflection so we don’t talk about education, drug crisis, SNHS, Scottish economy, grubby Gupta deal, ferry scandal, ravaged local authorities etc.
Nicola Sturgeon yesterday spoke about how traumatic the last few weeks have been. Nothing compares to the trauma Scotland has suffered at the hands of
@thesnp
over the past 16 years they’ve been in power.
Staggering, I represent Montrose and district and minutes are recorded and stored for every community council meeting, yet when it’s comes to the highest level meetings from
@theSNP
led
@scotgov
, absolutely nothing. If this isn’t a red flag, I don’t know what is.
A narcissist to the end, stood in front of another podium and it was all me me me. What struck me most was
@NicolaSturgeon
asking political parties to “reset the tone” when only recently from her own mouth came “detests the tories”. She leaves 🏴 more divided and toxic than ever.
Nothing drives away talent like treating the already tiny tax base of 🏴 like a cash cow. The level of naivety in the Scottish government is terrifying. We need to encourage investment and growth with incentive and purpose, not these idiotic suggestions.
It’s not racist or Islamophobic to question any politician or government body how they spend tax payers money.
@theSNP
claim to be transparent until someone asks them a question then they close ranks and start with the ‘racist’ and ‘far-right’ nonsense 🤦🏻♂️🤡.
The hate crime bill should terrify everyone. There is not one part of your life
@theSNP
don’t want to control and meddle with. A dark dark day for Scotland when this comes into force on the 1st of April.
I run several times a week and look like I am drunk as I have awful balance. Those ripping

to shreds for how he looks running, why don’t you run on a treadmill with a full length mirror placed in front of you, guarantee it’s not a pretty sight.
Odd, air miles Robertson said he wasn’t standing to be leader of
