Happy Easter✝️

A hunter finds a deer trapped in a fence, struggling to breathe. What he does next is incredible!

@JohnSwinney @BenMacpherson Do you 'honest'ly think you can hoodwink the public with this latest drivel? SNP have driven Scotland to the brink; health, education, women's rights (doesn't know what a woman is), energy, business all in a calamitous state, the result of years of corruption. 7th May beckons.

Scotland is blessed with vast energy resources and I want to make sure they benefit the people who live in Scotland, not Westminster. Great to be in Leith with @BenMacpherson today, and visit Forth Ports which are vital for our offshore wind industry.

Well said David Dimbleby (on the UK government’s decision to send King Charles on a State visit to the USA): 'We are dealing with a president who is a narcissist and a bully and he has been bullying Britain. He has been rude about our armed forces, about our role in Afghanistan. The King is the head of the Armed Forces and I think a rebuke of some kind is necessary. A state banquet? While he's bombing the hell out of Iran and people are dying all over the Middle East...? I don't see that the full panoply of a state banquet and a speech at Congress is appropriate, it is a misuse of the King, who has to do what he is told by the Government. It is giving Trump more than he deserves.”

I have a wee video here for @neilcgray @MairiMcAllan @JohnSwinney @theSNP showin a police car protecting someone who was knocked down about 17:45hrs and it’s now 19:16hrs and the person is still lying on a cold road waiting for an @NHSLanarkshire ambulance … is this acceptable

@murdo_fraser Improved palliative care? When every small local hospital that provided that service with compassion and dignity, serviced by local professionals has been closed never to re-open. This will not wash. I sincerely hope this bill is brought back to the table.

Days of scrutiny means no-one can say the issues weren’t properly examined. Supporters of AS can’t keep asking this question until they get the answer they want. It’s time to move on, and focus instead of much improved palliative care for all. (2/2)

Last night’s vote to comprehensively reject assisted suicide in Scotland was the 3rd time Holyrood has said no. Despite a glitzy, well-funded, celebrity-endorsed campaign in support, MSPs looking at the facts simply weren’t persuaded (1/2) bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@murdo_fraser Disgusted at this decision. Who are you to deny the individual the right to choose?

So pleased by this, defending the weak and vulnerable

@AnnieWells2026 Appalling decision.

It has been an emotional evening here in the chamber, but I am grateful that my colleagues have chosen hope tonight. We must now turn our focus to improving palliative care across Scotland, ensuring that no one faces a painful or undignified passing.

@ScotParl Shameful decision.

The result of the Stage 3 vote on the Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill is: ✅Yes - 57 ❌No - 69 🟣Abstain - 1 The Bill therefore falls. You can find out more online at ow.ly/cYpp50YvBqx

Wow! After Donald Trump mocked Gavin Newsom and other people with dyslexia and learning disabilities, Newsom’s wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, just completely torched him. The end is the best part.

Not animals please, it is MEN!! Men are the problem!! Every day there is another blatant example. Animals do not behave like this. This extremely brave woman deserves medal.

@EpicClipVault Hilux are not rhino proof 🤣

He started to walk away, then turned back like, “And another thing?!”

@curlybob69 Sending deepest condolences Bob. A difficult day for you but marked with respect and appreciation by those who knew her.

So today was my mums funeral, I thought I was doing fine until I saw the village flag at 1/2 mast, I have to confess it utterly did for me

A two-megawatt windmill is made up of 260 tons of steel that required 300 tons or iron ore and 170 tons of coking coal, all mined, transported and produced by hydrocarbons. It hold 700 gallons of oil and hydraulic fluid, and like car these need to be replaced every 9 months. People might fall for the idea that we can merrily run on sunshine and breezes, alone, but with a few trillion dollars worth of mythical mega-batteries providing backup for a few minutes, it could spin until it falls apart over and over again and never generate as much energy as was invested in building it.

@ScotExpress @themajorityscot The only person he is kidding is himself.

John Swinney 'misleads' BBC viewers by claiming there is sustained support in Scotland for independence - when polls suggest differently. scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/politics/…

@jimthekeeper Great initiative. Well done that man!

@themajorityscot Trump is no ally to the UK. The most dangerous, despicable president in the history of the USA.

The UK's greatest ally is laughing at our country's pathetic leadership.

@KemiBadenoch Do not support this war @KemiBadenoch please admit you got it wrong. You will lose much support if you don't. Our bases certainly need urgent and effective support, but there are no grounds to intervene further in this illegal war.

Keir Starmer has the wrong principles and the wrong priorities. We see it in his weak response to Iran. Even now, as our brave servicemen and women are under attack, Starmer is still dithering. Our allies are rightly furious. Read my thoughts in the Mail👇 dailymail.co.uk/debate/article…

@MbarkCherguia A baigie (Scottish)

I’m currently having a blazing argument, please help me settle this once and for all. What is this???
