@ClarksonsFarm1 These people can’t help but show themselves

'An inability to show empathy for a man battling the cruelest of illnesses has left a dark cloud over BlueSky'.

It genuinely amused me that people think replacing Starmer will make things better. From Boris Johnson's election onwards, we've been shuffling the bollards on the Titanic. You have to actually change direction if you want to avoid crashing into the iceberg: - End Net Zero - Make business viable again - Get welfare under control - Fund defence - Ensure equality under the law - Arrest criminals and keep them in jail - Deport illegal immigrants and close the border - Bring the civil service to heel Burnham will become as unpopular as Starmer within months since he isn't going to do any of that.

@MikeDiplockre @reginalddhunter It’s wortryung isnt it? If they win the World Cup quarters are here to stay, and we all have to start calling it soccer

The Americans are getting good at football

@DavidDhenry Pretty much aye. You’re a bigot for noticing btw.

Is this the state of Scottish politics?

@ScotNational 🤣🤣🤣 how deliciously apt

Former first minister Nicola Sturgeon will play the UK's deputy prime minister in a new Sky TV show, it has been announced #Echobox=1782036030-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thenational.scot/news/26213969.…

@JamesKelly @alexmassie Are ye daft?

@alexmassie Nobody reads behind the paywall, cretin.

Hmm. Let's not forget winning a fifth successive term of government only six weeks ago. How remiss of you to overlook that, Alex.

@80_mcswan Sadly the SNP are in the way, and will remain so while so many are duped into believing otherwise

The pursuit of Scottish independence represents a deeply held aspiration for myself and many Scots, both domestically and internationally. The endeavor to overturn the 1707 Act of Union will persist until Scotland achieves its full sovereignty.

I get most people don’t like him, but is Wyndham Clark just a serious major golfer now?

@tomintoultory @janforindy2 There are a lot of low-rent voters who seem to like this, sadly

@janforindy2 Etc etc…. Yawn. Taxes get us nothing eh? - what should taxes get you? The job of government isnt to give folk stuff, the job of government is to improve outcomes. Giving folk stuff be it freebies or taxcuts are just political tools to motivate voters to vote for them. 🤷‍♂️

If I lived in England and voted any party I’d be mighty pissed off my taxes get us nothing, meanwhile in Scotland our taxes put to good use, no tuition fees, home care for the elderly, 35 hrs under 5 child care, free school dinners, baby box etc etc. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@JimFairlieLogie @theRHS @theSNP Bullshit

The @theRHS 2026, so much positivity about what this @theSNP government is delivering for rural Scotland

@EwenDCameron I thought McGinn’s shout was more likely. VAR must have looked at both though. Seems it would have to be stonewall to overturn. Objectively I like that, and from the games ive seen generally VAR has been slicker than we’re used to. At least we were positive - eventually!

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland 0 Morocco 1 🇲🇦 Pish first half and the performance reminded me of the Euros. Better second half especially final 15 minutes when McTominay was played further forward (take note Steve) McGinn Penalty? Naw McTominay Penalty? I nearly broke my ankle again jumping about like a mad man. I thought it was. Roy Keane & Ange Postecoglou said it’s NOT a penalty. The question you have to ask yourself is would you say it was a penalty for Morocco if it was in our box? #Scotland #WorldCup

@QuinanLloyd He doesn’t even appear to hide it

Gethins is a servant of at least two masters and no friend of the movement for Independence.

@TwoAndTwoEquals @ScotNational I agree, that’s on the government though. Shouldn’t have needed a court challenge, but glad FWS have won.

@markdouglas1973 @ScotNational Well it had to be dealt with as every rapist convicted immediately remembered that he was trans and was put in a cell with a woman.

A judge has ruled it is unlawful for trans women to be housed in the female prison estate #Echobox=1781874106-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thenational.scot/news/26210466.…

@STVNews Good. Fucking idiots.

@scotgov @StephenGethins Get in the bin

"I believe that Scotland’s future lies in restoring our place at the heart of Europe". As we approach ten years since the EU membership referendum, Minister for Europe @StephenGethins reflects on Scotland’s place in the EU.

@ForWomenScot 💪 👏👏👏

@theSNP Another staffer on the gravy bus

Congratulations to Lara Bird MP on her victory in Arbroath and Broughty Ferry. A strong local voice for Scotland now heads to Westminster.

@joncoopertweets Zero drama? You sure?

Imagine Trump ever being invited to join a photo like this — not in a million years. Four presidents. Zero drama. Just smiles, respect, and a shared love of country. 🇺🇸

Put the kibosh on a Murrell inquiry then send all the journalists into a pen. The people’s parliament in action…
