@Malcolm_Offord The sentence that stands out to me is 'appointed a government minister'. You were never even elected. This democratic void just highlights how the U.K is broken beyond repair.

The media have been having another pop at me, so here are the full facts for the public to judge for themselves: Eight years ago, in 2018, long before I was appointed a government minister in the Lords, I gave the Burns Night after-dinner speech at a rugby club before a large crowd of members and their friends, wives, husbands, and partners. I must admit, I’d had a bit to drink by then, and finished with a crude joke about the late George Michael, as I had been connecting his songs to Burns’s works. It was intended to be funny through being edgy and shocking, but I’m no Frankie Boyle or Ricky Gervais. Instead of being funny, I made members of the audience uncomfortable and instantly regretted it. I immediately apologised to the club, and made amends by voluntarily donating to the King’s Cross Steelers, the original gay-inclusive rugby union club, to support their travel and participation in the Bingham Cup in Amsterdam. I then also arranged a fixture between my club and theirs. So that’s the whole story of what happened eight years ago. Most of the media won't publish the joke, but I see that the general gist has now been reported, and I don’t want to sully your screens with something so crude.

@sergio75035352 @MrNChance @JohnSwinney No, just an idiot.

@MrNChance @JohnSwinney You’re right you’re not an expert

These comments have no place in Scottish society. They are typical of the prejudice spouted by Reform. Malcolm Offord and his ilk are unfit for office. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@Heat1574773 @80_mcswan The orange walks are nothing but hate marches, that's the difference. I'd be careful calling anyone bigoted with your timeline.

@80_mcswan Hope all the republicans walks are stopped. All the Indy walks are stopped All the Palestine walks are stopped. All the lgbt walks are stopped. That help you in any way you fukkin bigoted twat

THE Orange Order yet again are attempting to march through Stonehaven on June 27 to “commemorate the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne” in an application to the local authority. Should the anti Catholic group be blocked again ?

@BBCNorthEast OEUK is funded by the oil and gas industry is it not

@NetworkRailSCOT Kudos

Our engineers seized the rare opportunity of the closure of Scotland’s busiest station to deliver an extensive package of maintenance and renewals. The work done would have taken ten months using our usual overnight maintenance window. Read more 👇 networkrailmediacentre.co.uk/news/major-eng…

@BBCScotlandNews Cultural cringe as usual from the BBC.

@hrhhs @jonburkeUK Wrong.

@jonburkeUK They had more reserves than us and a population size 12 times smaller, also their reserves were easier to reach. Other than all that, good try in your fake statistics

Between 1980 & 1990, privatised U.K North Sea oil and gas raised £166 billion in tax. The Tories used it to halve income tax for top earners. Norway used their publicly-owned oil & gas revenues to fund 1st class services and establish the world’s largest Sovereign Wealth Fund.

@ScotNational Aah, now I get it.

@ScotNational Erm, that's not Queen Elizabeth I

EXCLUSIVE: Plans to construct a memorial to Queen Elizabeth I in Scotland have been blasted by campaigners who have questioned the appropriateness of the statue #Echobox=1774277983-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thenational.scot/news/25960350.…

Both Tory MSP should be removed from their position for such a deliberate time wasting exercise Stephen Kerr (the “second MSP”) submitted 1,400 questions to the Scottish Government. Estimated cost to the public purse: over £200,000 in one year. This figure comes from the standard cost of processing written questions, which is roughly £150 per question. Douglas Lumsden (the first MSP in the scandal) Submitted 987 questions in a single month (January). Some were trivial or bizarre e.g., asking the number of salt & pepper sachets in Holyrood how beeswax for the Great Seal is verified Estimated cost £100,000–£185,000, Absolute disgrace whether Ai was used or not they are not fit for office in Scotland. ☮️🌎🤔🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⚖️ Independence is a Necessity

@Gungglefont @FashFinderUK @BotFinderUK Xenophobe.

@FashFinderUK @BotFinderUK I’m sure the Jocks absolutely adore you

@BenGrahamUK The UK has only existed since 1707.

Britain has been a Christian nation for over 1,400 years. Through wars, plagues, and countless kings, Easter has always been celebrated. Yet now, Cadbury won’t even use the word ‘Easter’ on their eggs. When did celebrating British traditions become controversial?

@ScotNational Still don't trust him.

George Galloway has U-turned on his opposition to Scottish independence, saying the 'British state is financially, politically, and morally bankrupt'

@easachausen @FBAwayDays Agree

@FBAwayDays Why is the home strip dark blue, it should be the same light blue colour as the flag in the picture

Scotland’s away shirt for the World Cup has been released. I think it’s stunning! 😍👏

@jackDTR1 @Footballtweet Yeah, red is often used

@TheBagOfKnives @HerdImmunity12 @andrewgmorton @reformparty_uk Oh yeah, it really worked for Hitler.

@HerdImmunity12 @andrewgmorton @reformparty_uk The right wing will save us . They always do dont they. Ya fucking mug.

Breaking🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧: "Scotland has the largest deficit between spend and earn than any other nation in Europe. Swinney hopes to have Scotland rejoin the EU, with no chance as they expect a 3% GDP deficit not 12%". Scottish @reformparty_uk Leader Lord Offord. Scotland is already being run like a Communist state: no energy, mass unfettered immigration, the highest corporation tax in Europe, state control over children's lives even to the point of mind manipulation and physical abuse via their fixation on LGBTQ for primary school children.

@HerdImmunity12 @reformparty_uk Firstly, GERS contains too much estimated data to be considered accurate. Secondly, Scottish taxpayers would save a fortune if we didn't have to contribute to England only projects like HS2, crossrail, etc. Reform are lying and the journalists are not calling them out.
