Husband's English family announce over funeral purvey yesterday that NS is innocent. She handled the pandemic well. Salmond is a tosser and we should be independent. If folk, none of them under 50, in deep bland middle England know this, what's wrong with our yoons?? 🤷♀️
I'm not a baby boomer, but enjoyed freedom to travel abroad, a grant (and the luxury to drop out and pick up work anywhere), a final salary pension. Will i vote Labour out of boredom or cos I'm fed up with the SNP? Will I fk! I'll vote for future generations. DON'T VOTE SELFISH.
I needed to hear Nicola still speaking in a strong voice, talking to another strong woman away from the abusive shite. The reception of the audience must've been a big hug to them both.
How much more can one woman take. Straight from nonsense polis shenanigans to the covid enquiry. Some horrible, sad bereavements for sure but every wee fanny and dug on the on the street knows that
@NicolaSturgeon
ran rings around other UK leaders.
It's a very fkn ugly thong to hear Starmer bellow out what Scotland needs, along with his bussed in Yahs. They hate us. They think we're here to make up the numbers and provide a few resources. If you're voting for this lot in Scotland, unfollow me now. You're toxic.
How fucking evil is

do you now get up at stupid o'clock just to trash your country?
@GilesW7

Yes but you have to be 'in the know' and have quite a lot of time on your hands, pref a blue tick, shitload of followers who laugh at your jokes and a very high opinion of yourself

Disgusting to hear Edinburgh airport boss Gordon Dewar on
@BBCRadioScot
say that we no longer have to worry about the Delta variant being brought in as it's already here, and reject the FM's advice to only travel abroad if necessary. Poluting air industry playing God again.
My message to psycho trolls, terfs, racists who are exceptionally triggered by our FM...you can have the king (including King Billy) and all the rage/hatred your blood pressure can take. I'll have Scottish independence, ceasefire in Gaza and trans rights. May the best people win.

items back to back, to make the heart sink; tories want expenses for challenging their GRR theft in court, then the disgusting Jackie Baillie with her establishment gongs. Some days I have no shred of patience for ongoing No voters.
From the mouth of prof John Curtice, Labour does NOT need our votes, but the unpalatable fact is Labour ARE doing well in the central belt where seat density is high. If you're inclined to say 'forget the polls, SNP will walk it' you're only encouraging voters to stay home. Fact.
We all knew this covid inquiry was coming and it would be bad. We didn't know how desperate the yoon media and opposition would be nor how much damage they'd have inflicted on NS and her legacy by the time it came. It's horrible. It will pass but the hypocrisy is awful given 1/
Me to ex colleague...'Don't think much of your MP Shanks' (I paraphrase wildly 😃). Her ... 'Who? Never heard of him but I'll be voting SNP.' Didn't expect any of that. Who the feck are these folk planning to vote Labour? Not met one yet
I was trying to avoid naming and shaming, but I may have been over generous to
@pauline4glasgow
Labour MSP mentioned above. I see she's a big advocate of Jackie Baillie who most certainly does not express a clear ceasefire preferance, and indy hater Lisa Nandy. I rest my case.
Just back from the rally at Glasgow Green. Organiser asked a few times if we want to march or hear more speakers, then ignored the overwhelming cry to march till the speakers were done. Anyway, something shifted in me at the point of intro of the Labour MSP who
How sad and sickening to hear the Tories clapping away at the heartbreaking speech from Zelensky. Well of course he's going to thank the UK and 'Boris'. They're desperate, but was there ever a govt less deserving of such honours 😟
If you're indy supporting and still think you should vote Labour this time around, has the penny not dropped yet? They'll trash us to the core from every angle.
Just caught up on today's news about
@NicolaSturgeon
. Real physical shock response. Can only assume that Johnson's tumble to rock bottom was taking up too much attention. Best wishes Nicola. Stay strong. This will pass.
Our media are absolutely complicit. An extremely rudely and constantly interrupted interview with John Swinney, followed by a lengthy uninterrupted, serial rant mainly on behalf of Labour, by a chosen panel. If you've fallen foe this, hell mend you.
Another bonkers intervention from
@AlexSalmond
imploring Swinney to use Ash's position to form a minority govt. Alex, why would he want to approach a UNIONIST for that?

(yes i was brave) but why the dig at Nicola Sturgeon?? Please tell me clearly at what point she could've acted on furthering independence in the last few years that has warranted the kicking she gets now?

Sorry. I don't see a misjudgemement. Only dangerous hypocrisy. My mum died yesterday and i couldn't be with her cos i obeyed the rules. Our family can't be together to grieve in the calm rural north east today. Rules only apply to some, it seems. I'm judging Now.

rally as my right to protest and glad that the Glasgow march was big again but if you're with AOUB (I still can't stomach them) please fight back against the rank, divisive speakers and don't let Salmond claim it as *his* movement
Blocked by Kaye Adams but, giving her a big benefit of the doubt, she literally doesn't have a clue what she's talking about. She can't, even if she want to, challenge the misinformation conflating women's rights with GRR. Shame on
@BBCRadioScot
for allowing this.
What to make of 2 contradictory polls from yesterday 🤷♀️. Too easy to trust or trash depending on what we want to believe. One SOLID fact1; the vast majority of news outlets are rabidly unionist yet look how well Yes is doing, even with the worst prediction. Let's keep going 💪
If you're flirting with the idea that the SNP are corrupt, that we need Labour votes in Scotland to kick the UK govt out, that it's worth never going back to the EU or protecting minorities or uni fees or free personal care just this once...get yer heid out of the sand.
We have a field day for opposition and media coming up with the covid inquiry up here, and despite that we mustn't forget the horrors for victims and families. Neither must we forget the bigger picture that almost brought the country together
@NicolaSturgeon
tried to keep us safe
Knowing full well that the media here will promote them as acting independently, while ushering in a full-on unionist govt with all the hideous anti immigration, pro brext punishment it brings. I've written a good few articles for

So sorry for your loss and spot on. Also the nerve, like so many others, to splash it all over social media without a shred of shame.
What a riddie
@mgshanks
. He has nothing but 'we're part of the UK'. The reality of that is stark in so many ways. No policies = no answers. Like so many, he has been promoted way above his worth. Why? Because there are 2 Labour MPs. Both ultra unionists.
Good to hear a special mention at the rally today for
@HumzaYousaf
and his relentless support for Gaza. He put us on the map for it and suffered a shitload of abuse too.
In 2 weeks KF has gone from 'I'll lead for everyone' to full-on roaring fash-enabling Stop-the-steal bandwagon-jumping far-right shill. Ash always was. If you still can't see it no more polite requests to unfollow...Get The Fuck away from me or immediate block.
Blocked that c*nt Craig Murray, and while I'm remembering my old mum, she'd say 'it's like taking a nail out of your boot' She'd also not be shy about just calling him a cunt
Ruth Wishart is on national yoon radio stating that Humza has stolen Kate's line about eradication of poverty. Talk about trojan horses in the Indy camp!
@ruth_wishart
you need to apologise for that. Do you think Humza doesn't want to eradicate poverty as a priority?
"One SNP MP told the Scotsman the defection was "malicious, but not a surprise, she wasn't going to be selected and has always been a Tory". Just the trash taking itself out.
Calton Hill was a safe space today, not only for diversity but for the right to peaceful protest. Having (too narrowly) dodged a bullet in the SNP leadership race, not only would regressive leadership of indy's elected vehicle diminish that safety 1/
National demo to stop the war in Gaza is in Glasgow this Saturday meeting George Sq 1pm and marching to the SECC where there is a labour party conference. Let's go and tell those arrogant, entitled, useless warmongering fuckers where to stick their 'change'
There's one thing we can be 100% sure of...Yoons and QAlba types trying to kick dirt over Nicola Sturgeon have NOT ONE THREAD of humanity or integrity and never have had. Stop pretending. It's all politically motivated.
is most certainly on the right side of history and no doubt working hard for Palestine, but it leaves me cold to hear that her party intend to vote for a ceasefire in Holyrood. This is smoke and mirrors, a cynical manoeuvre to distance themselves from Starmers while
We don't button up the back
@BBCNews
. A bit too keen to divert blame to social media, for waking up the fash. You did this with your carefully dropped hints about ethnicity. Genie is out the bag now, you evil bastards.
To be clear, there are likely far more people who lend their vote to the SNP for the sake of a fairer society than there are members. If yous fuck this for us by electing Forbes or Regan I'm 100% sure I won't be alone in withdrawing it. SGP all the way.
Still think that Labour in Scotland is the change we need?
@AnasSarwar
is Starmers puppet. Expect all Green issues to into the trunk marked 'culture wars we support'
Atlantic Ocean circulation nearing ‘devastating’ tipping point, study finds
Collapse in system of currents that helps regulate global climate would be at such speed that adaptation would be impossible
promoting cross party cooperation towards a progressive future that would somehow allow at least some of the 30% or so of Labour's indy supporters to a prominent place in the movement. I don't feel that optimism any more. I see a slavish push for power at any cost. Shame on them
Filthy warmongers are stirring. From
@grantshapps
to army generals who want you/your young men. Whether they're electioneering, scaremongering or empire building and you want to vote Labour in Scotland, you're dumping us right in the middle of this shit for good. 1/
Conflicting polls out again...one puts Yes ahead. One puts Labour slightly ahead here. Believe whichever or none, but trust that they DO clash...if you support Yes you're committing an act of self harm if you vote Labour. They DO NOT NEED OUR VOTES up here to oust the Tories.
If you're essentially a Yes supporter and still think Labour will bring change or that their votes are needed to oust the Tories...time to gie yer heid a massive wobble.
A very defeated

but it's becoming GB news. There's a consistent 1 dimensional nibbling away at Scotland from all angles, eg the mention of deficient councils without ever acknowledging the Labour/Tory coup of several councils, nor any backstory 1/
Ha! If it wasn't so pathetic it would be funny.
@LauraMaxwell16
asks 'correspondent' David Porter if changes to HS2 project affect Scotland. He nervously blubbers that if it's faster betweenLondon and Birmingham you'll get to Scotland faster 😳. You listening unionists?
Have you got that Labour for independence folk? Have you got that Labour for change folk? What about democrats?...got it? What if you're on the cusp from No to Yes? Got it?
If there's any doubt that

It seems that
@JohnMasonMSP
will not stand again but is intent on trashing the house as he closes the door behind him. Folk are leaving the SNP in their droves. I'm tempted but I'd rather not see it trashed in 2026, helped by a pathetic genocide apologist 1/
What does
@Fionasstalker
not understand about the leadership contest, in that it can only be a contest if others want to compete? How can that be depriving of debate? I hope the next phase of SNP govt will see an end to this dumbed down media rubbish, by challenge and debunking
I do wish folk wouldn't give Abla the 'credit' for this. They are a 0.4% irrelevance. She survived the deeply malevolent Salmond enquiry and the nagging vitreol of our national broadcasters
@BBCRadioScot
. Give her more credit than that.
Why are others who voted for GRR not coming forward to defend their position?
@AnasSarwar
? Oh wait, because you don't have a spine and it's much more fun seeing the SG and FM take the fall.
Here's another polite request to unfollow me if you still think KF is a good contender for FM now that she's blown her 'for all of Scotland' bs out the windae.
