@foskerda @ChrisMusson Breach of contract

@ChrisMusson Stop her wages & put the pension & lump sum on hold until she appears - simples

Scot Gov outgoing Permanent Secretary Leslie Evans has angered MSPs by refusing to appear at a Holyrood committee while on "leave" before she retires with her £90k-a-year pension & £260k lump sum. Scot Gov docs also show her salary is approx £175k. But parliament can go whistle..

@Mike_Blackley What's even more extraordinary is that Holyrood has been set up so that nobody is apparently accountantable to anyone for anything. There is no oversight - a major failing.

@paulhutcheon SNP: stronger for Turkey

SNP Green Government blasted as Turkish shipyard named preferred bidder for ferries dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…

@ChrisMusson Ridiculously generous salary and gold plated pension scheme. On 3 months leave prior to retirement is frankly insulting. Lack of accountability regarding her role in Salmond harassment investigation and flagrant abuse taking leave before retirement. Morally indefensible.

@AE_Warley_Cllr @rogerlwhite It is irresponsible because the BBC should provide informed opinion. Sturgeon has neither knowledge nor experience of military matters. The BBC should not deal with her.

@CJuliaSM @rogerlwhite It’s hardly “just plain irresponsibility by the BBC”. They are just reporting what a politician has said, which they also do in relation to Putin, Johnson and Biden et al. It also gives you the opportunity to (rightfully) criticise Sturgeon . . . . 😉

N Sturgeon on BBC R4 saying we should consider providing fighter planes to Ukraine. Any RAF types out there able to judge the reality of this suggestion? (I think I know the answer)

@AnasSarwar Pity Sarwar lacks the guts to say the same - and worse - about Sturgeon. While Scots suffer, Sarwar promotes his vain self-interest. A poor politician.

@alwaysquestio10 @AngusRobertson @KyivIndependent @Ukraine @IAPonomarenko Nationalists such as Robertson are consumed and motivated by hatred. It's why they'll never win.

‘Ukraine Forever’ - New Scottish tartan which fuses the colours of the national flags of Ukraine and Scotland. Beautiful. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦#StandWithUkraine #scotland #ukraine #tartan

The SNP and Greens have decided not to support the plea of Glasgow's Taxi Trade. They have ignored the sensible ask to delay the LEZ for Taxis for 1 year to allow the trade get back on its feet after the pandemic. @GlasgowTories support our taxi trade and our drivers.

Could that be the sound of pennies starting to drop?

@DougStuart20 @paulhutcheon She's trying to bolster her authority, now under direct threat because of her failure to get another ref, by pretending to be an international player. She's just making herself look more desperate, by foolishly straying into areas she doesn't understand.

New: Nicola Sturgeon says the UK not doing “anywhere near enough” over Ukrainian refugees. She says the hoops people are having to jump through to enter the UK are "unconscionable" dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…

A few short days after @ShonaRobison claimed there’s no evidence predators have ‘ever had to pretend to be anything else,’ @MhairiHunter tells concerned women that the way to address their concerns is to pass the legislation they have concerns about.

@GlasgowAlbum @antianti69 @BipolarRunner @jk_rowling @ShonaRobison @MhairiHunter The Enlightenment developed because good ideas, such as Hume's or Smith's, could be printed in quantity and dispatched to all the main centres of learning and culture.

@CJuliaSM @antianti69 @BipolarRunner @jk_rowling @ShonaRobison @MhairiHunter Oh there was a whole raft of factors of course, but if the mob came for you you were done. Westminster pulled their teeth. (Later on in the century, Dr Johnson funded Gaelic publication, Hume et al regarded Gaelic as the langauge of savages. )

@GlasgowAlbum @antianti69 @BipolarRunner @jk_rowling @ShonaRobison @MhairiHunter I think Hume wasn't too far off the mark, though I'd have said the complacent idle, rather than savages. Actually, on the Tour, Johnson recommended setting up a Gaelic printing press on Scalpay, but the Gaels were too feckless to bother with such an excellent idea.

Multiple women’s groups have presented well-sourced evidence to @NicolaSturgeon’s government about the likely negative consequences of this legislation for women and girls, especially the most vulnerable. All has been ignored. If the legislation is passed 1/2

Blackford's unilateral nuclear disarmament when Putin is threatening the West with nuclear weapons, shows a peculiar inability to adapt past thinking to present reality. The SNP shows it is not fit to run anything

@DSanderson_85 One of the worst aspects of the SNP's Nationalism is the way it gets government to separate children from their parents.

Scotland is to become only the second country in the world to allow 16 and 17-year-olds to legally change their gender without parental permission or a court order. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2022/…
