@IainSinclairSNP You’re going to be waiting a while ya furry faced fuckwit 😢😂😂

So, when the Chinese government is building a "super embassy" in London, national security doesn't matter. But it does when a Chinese company wants to invest billions in Scotland's renewable energy sector? 🤔
Independence can't come quick enough. 🏴
John Swinney@JohnSwinney
Deeply disappointed that the UK Labour government has blocked Ming Yang’s investment in our renewables industry - putting up to 1500 Scottish jobs at risk. At the very moment we should be building clean energy, they are sabotaging Scotland’s industrial future.

@ka8895 @Motherwell_Lad China General Nuclear hold a significant stake in the plant.
English
@Motherwell_Lad You should Google Hinkley Point and see who's part funding it.
English
@IainSinclairSNP So you want part of our electricity supply to be in the control of the Chinese?
English
@Euan4Falkirk Not desperate - just facts.
You know that the funding doesn't buy buses, right? It funds the difference between an EV and a combustion engine vehicle.
And it's the operators who buy them not the SNP... Maybe want to direct that question to your billionaire donors.
English
@IainSinclairSNP Blatantly desperate stuff Iain.
I back buses being built in Falkirk.
The SNP were prepared to fund McGills buying buses built in China last time round.
Why did the SNP block them when they wanted to build them in Falkirk today?
English
Did national security come into it when the actual Chinese government wanted to build a super embassy in London and had it approved? Or is it just the destruction of the Scottish economy where that excuse is rolled out?
English
@Euan4Falkirk Didn't take you for a patsy for your billionaire donors, mate?
English
@IainSinclairSNP Why did the SNP's ScotZEB3 block £16m of investment of additional orders into Falkirk and send them to China instead today Iain?

Frankie Boyle and Ricky Gervais are neither homophobic nor racist.
Yet another example of a rich man using his privilege to pay-away the damage. "I'm not homophobic because I made a donation to a gay thing after being homophobic..."
Gies peace. Vote Reform, get undesirables.

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.

DFM Kate Forbes described the decision as "sabotage of Scotland's industrial future.
"This decision has been sitting on the desks of UK ministers for over 18 months - their dithering will have far-reaching consequences that once again, will be left for Scotland to deal with."

Brilliant news for Ayrshire - 450 new skilled jobs in Prestwick as Ryanair expands its maintenance hub.
This week alone we've announced over 2,300 new jobs coming to Scotland.
Much of that is down to the immense work of Kate Forbes, and I can't thank her enough.
English
Ryanair = £20million
ScotGov/ScotEnt = £15million
UKG = £5million
Imagine being so arrogant that you fail to mention you're the smallest part of the deal, and continue to take a victory lap to an awkwardly silent crowd...
Brian McGinley@McGinleyForAyr
Delighted to be joined by Scotland Minister Kirsty McNeill who announced £5 Million to support local jobs at Prestwick Airport. That’s 450, high paid, high skilled jobs. That’s 60 apprenticeships for our young people. That’s a UK Labour government delivering for you.

When I said some Reform supporters are racist, this is what I had in mind. I will always stand against those who try to divide us with hate. 👇

Stroke victims and their families deserve better than someone who makes jokes at their expense.
These comments are unacceptable for anyone to make, let alone someone who aspires to be First Minister of Scotland.
David Mitchell 🏴🇪🇺🇺🇳@dm180914
😱: Leader of Labour in Scotland Anas Sarwar asks a female photographer “did you get my stroke pose?” “What!?” He laughs and doubles down: “a picture I saw online, it looked like I was having a stroke.” Anas Sarwar must apologise! Not acceptable for a party leader.

When I was One
I had just begun.
When I was Two
I was nearly new.
When I was Three
I was hardly Me.
When I was Four
I was not much more.
When I was Five
I was just alive.
But now I am Six, I’m clever as clever.
So I think I’ll be six now for ever and ever.

"Inaccurate" and "Alarmist"
Not my words... Those of the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.
Sarwar must apologise - he won't, but it's what he should do.
He's unfit for public office.
Anas Sarwar@AnasSarwar
It is believed that both of Glasgow’s high-rise fire engines were unavailable during the Union Street fire. This must be investigated and act as a wake-up call for the SNP. heraldscotland.com/news/25930964.…

Assistant Chief Officer Davie Farries said:
“It is both inaccurate and alarmist to suggest that the provision of our fleet of high-reach appliances had any negative impact on our operational response to this incident.”
Desperate Sarwar is not fit to lead.
He should apologise.

Euan missing the nail and bashing his thumb here...
The point of the memo looks clear - if devolved nations disagree with the area of direct spending, do it anyway and undermine the democratically elected devolved government.
That isn't partnership - and it ain't respectful.
Euan Stainbank MP@Euan4Falkirk
Wild patter from the SNP when the context was Labour UK Investment into our communities, which many in Scot Gov would have preferred to see this go to Edinburgh. Just to confirm then do you therefore oppose the £20m Labour are investing in the Braes Villages and Hallglen?
English
Cllr. Iain Sinclair retweetledi
So much for Labour’s promises to respect the Scottish Parliament.
Only the SNP will always stand up for Scotland and protect our Parliament.
