I'm getting a lot of photos appearing on my Twitter feed of naked young women who apparently live less than 1km from me & want to meet me.
Now, I'm no detective, but these girls don't look like Fifers & are definitely not dressed for the weather. 🤔
I'm at the bus terminus in Kirkcaldy.
It's Scotland.
It's Christmas.
The winter solstice is tonight.
Fifers are wearing shorts!
Scotland will survive the nuclear holocaust. 🏴✊️

If Starmer & his henchmen were willing to do that to the speaker & pervert the mother of parliaments, (just to avoid calling out genocide & asking for a ceasefire), how do you think Labour will treat Scottish democracy & the Scottish Parliament after they win the election? 🤔
Lots of legacy chat. For what it's worth,I think
@NicolaSturgeon
real legacy will be felt in 30yrs, when
@ScotGov
early yrs learning comes to fruition. Hi-impact time to better lives. Long-term program, no short-term gain, generational transformation. Thank you & well done!👩🎓👏✊
BREAKING: Israel just bombed a water distribution truck in Gaza, killing 13 Palestinian civilians, including 7 children, who were in desperate need of water.
Innocent, thirsty civilians.
35 years ago today. I still remember the moment I heard the news on Cairnsmore Drive, Stonehouse. To this day, I still get the same sinking feeling in my stomach when I think about it. Like many Scots, Lockerbie & Dunblane will be forever seared in our conscience. 😥
#Lockerbie
We sometimes struggle to define the characteristics that make us Scottish.
However, we instinctively know the traits that we loathe as a nation.
Douglas Ross combines many of these, personifies them & has become the antithesis of everything we admire & aspire to.

Nominations have opened for the next leader of the SNP after the resignation of the First Minister Humza Yousaf.

about what this means for Scottish independence.

If passed, devolution is dead.
Wales: UKGov need consent
Northern Ireland: UKGov need consent
Scotland: UKGov need only consult
25yrs of devolution wiped out in a sentence. For most people, democracy trumps both yoon & nat. In the long term this kills the UK.

High St Kirkcaldy
Saturday before Christmas
It's not just run down
It's poor.
50yrs of oil & gas - nothing to show.
This was UK Chancellor & PM's constituency.
Decades of decline.
This spot is where "The Wealth of Nations" was written.
Things are gonna change.
#ScottishDemocracy
First, they came for the Scottish nationalists, and I said...
🤔...actually, I think they have a point. They just want to live in a democracy, build a better nation for their kids & shed the chains of a classist, feudal, genocidal-loving, right-wing establishment.
#BrokenBritain
A very informative info-graphic, illustrating the diverging political cultures in the UK. I worry for our NHS. Is our greatest achievement as the UK next for the free market treatment?

Sally Magnusson introduced Reporting Scotland tonight by giving a summary of HoyleGate. However, she failed to mention Keir Starmer's private meeting with Hoyle or the claims that Hoyle was blackmailed. Just as Hoyle's decision helped Labour, so too did Magnusson's censorship.
This is important. Are our elected representatives being financially supported by a foreign, genocidal regime? Let the implications of that sink in. 🤔

Thank you,

BBC News - Jason Leitch to step down as national clinical director
If you listen to only one thing today, listen to this. Andrew Neil's remote preaching, ill-informed opinions, and clichéd hack ass being handed to him on a plate. 🔥✊️😎
'What a load of absolute rubbish' 🔥

@LesleyRiddoch
was on fire as she took down Andrew Neil and Nick Ferrari's claims about 'basket case' Scotland this morning.
I've been playing catch up on the day's events before bed & came across this masterpiece. Glorious, savage & poetic, all delivered with the timing & impact of a bullet train. Exquisitely done

It's actually quite difficult to be this offensive on so many different levels. I suspect that the author is only aware of a few of the levels, and ignorant to much of the offence.

A must read. The British establishment will malign, distort, and try to discredit anyone who is of an independent mind and disagrees with them... no matter how neutral, professional or upstanding they be.
What is happening to Jason Leitch is an abomination.
This is morally repugnant.
Scotland has ~2.5m homes.
EGL2 will power similar in England.
We have high fuel poverty.
Scots pay more for electricity.
EGL2 extracts wealth, hope & aspiration of our children.
It deposits prosperity in distant pockets.
Coal, oil, renewables...no more.
Ofgem has given provisional approval to a funding package for the 2GW high voltage proposed Eastern Green Link 2 subsea and underground 500km electricity superhighway between Scotland and Yorkshire.

After 50 yrs of one of the world's biggest ever natural resource finds, we have nothing to show for it - zero for the next generation except environmental catastrophe. Contrast with Norway, Dubai, etc.

If Labour and Keir Starmer can treat Diane Abbot like this after 40 plus yrs of service, how do you think they will treat our:
Muslims?
Scotland?
Working class?
... if they don't think they need you any more. 🤔
I thought it was all over, safe to go into the house & watch tele. Promptly found my wife now watching a royal concert. It's never ending. There's no escaping! I asked when Elton John was going to sing "Candle in the Wind". I'm banned again. 🙄 When will it finish?
#Coronation
We hope Martin Geissler has the decency to feel embarrassed by the decision not to cover the biggest story in UK politics bar none on The Sunday Show. How can a Scottish current affairs TV programme refuse to cover HoyleGate when it impacts Scotland's main party at Westminster?
I'm with the lawyers on this. Juryless trials are a recipe for disaster, State control & miscarriages. Why are
@theSNP
making a habit of picking fights on dubious grounds, without broad support, that they will ultimately lose. Seems very ill thought out & has echoes of GRA. 🙄
Justice secretary Angela Constance is 'disappointed' lawyers are set for an almost 'unanimous' boycott of a pilot scheme for juryless rape trials in Scotland.
I miss George Michael. This is a cracker of an interview, where George has the measure of Tony Blair & doesn't pull any punches. He also refuses to be pushed around by the interviewer. I wonder what George would say about Keir Starmer? 🤔

My son started school this week.
He was asked "What is the name of the king?"
"ELVIS!" he shouted.
So very, very proud! 🕺🎸⚒✊
