@PeterAdamSmith Starmer has never u~turned on anything in Labour's manifesto?!!!

Downing Street say they do not recognise the Scottish FM’s interpretation of the phone call. “The PM committed to meeting to discussed shared issues including the cost of living.  “As the PM told the First Minister, the manifesto this government was elected  on was unambiguous that ‘Labour does not support independence or another referendum’. “Our position remains unchanged.”

@heraldscotland All the parties in Birmingham City Council have taken the same stance. Do these sentiments apply to all of them as well?

'John Swinney's decision is little more than an infantile gesture to appease the cultural extremists in his own party and in the Scottish Greens' 👇

@alexmassie I'm sure Andy is now consulting Google Maps. Just what Scotland needs, another Labour carpetbagger.

No reason why Andy Burnham can’t be the Labour candidate in the forthcoming Aberdeen South by-election. Courage, comrades!

@afneil Why is vote share never an issue in UK GEs when recognising majorities & mandates? Double standard democracy.

Ok. Let’s do that. SNP + Greens took 49% of the vote and 72 MSPs between them in 2021. On Thursday their combined share of vote was 41% but they ended up with one more MSP between them — 73. So combined share of vote down 8 percentage points. Hardly momentum for independence. And it’s share of the vote that matters in a referendum. Nor does one more MSP for independence change anything. There was a majority of MSPs for independence before Thursday. Much good did it do them. So what’s new? Nor does anyone seriously think combining Green and SNP MSPs a serious basis for claiming independence. Even Nicola Sturgeon acknowledged it wasn’t. Even more so now — the Green manifesto for Thursday did not include independence. So it’s no mandate for independence.

@GrahamGGrant Thanks for clearly articulating the steady decline of the UK, a perfect argument for Scottish independence.

The new #indyref2 trigger is the prospect of Reform running the U.K. Government. Add it to a long list - Tory majority, Brexit, Boris. Is anyone still buying this bilge? Presumably even hardcore believers privately concede independence is dead.

@BrianLeishmanMP Read your column in the Sunday Mail today. Do you ever consider the potential for a Scottish Labour Party in an independent Scotland?

@LesleyRiddoch An SNP self inflicted 'fail'. While I understand the precedent argument, trying to repeat a single party majority result, which was an anomaly, was a spectacular own goal. No majority will now replace 'once in a generation'.

Excellent. If media still read this as an 'SNP fail' we need to re-write those headlines. We have a pro indy parliament. And expect SNP to act accordingly

@AnasSarwar Nae 'Change' then!

@murdo_fraser @ScotTories @RealStephenKerr There should be a term limit for List MSPs.

Delighted to be re-elected as MSP for Mid-Scotland & Fife for another 5 years along with my @scottories colleague @RealStephenKerr. Thanks to everyone for their support.

@paulhutcheon He put himself front and centre of the campaign. He also kept the 2024 Labour UK GE mantra of 'Change'. He has to take personal & decision making responsibility.

Anas Sarwar never stood a chance in the Holyrood election as he was judged in relation to Keir Starmer. This defeat should raise profound questions about the link between Scottish and UK Labour.

@paulhutcheon Does this argument apply to the situation in Wales?

🚨 The Daily Record urges Scots to vote for change after 19 years of SNP Government. “We can keep Reform out and send a message to the hopeless SNP that Scots deserve a better, brighter future.”

@RuthDavidsonPC How is your promise to transform the Lords from within going?

What's that you say? Some parts of the UK are supposed to be hotter than Hawaii today? Sounds like the perfect day to leaflet... #PeachVoteTory

@craigymeighan The relevance of your question?!!!

What's John Swinney's take on the Scottish Labour/Reform saga? Well, I asked three times whether he believes Anas Sarwar or Malcolm Offord - but I didn't get an answer.

@ScottWisely5xo How can a player with his physicaliry,touch & undoubted ability contribute absolutely nothing!!

I honestly can’t see how anyone can prefer lazetic to nisbet, at the bare minimum atleast nisbet looks like he puts a bit of effort in, lazetic is a fucking joke

@MarkGordonMedia Not a team, an ever changing group of under performing individuals, a group that changes every 45 mins.

I’ve been saying it for months, this a group of players sliding towards relegation. They either aren’t good enough, don’t care enough or both. Pathetic on the park and pathetic recruitment off the park.

@pmclardie @gus_tawse You is a collective term, the 's' you put at the end is redundant.

@IngramGreig @gus_tawse Step down if gogo goes to yous....strols most games but none more than yous today 👌🏁🏁⚽️⚽️

Captain and manager not acknowledging each other as Shinnie went off.

@southstandview1 @AberdeenFC He genuinely comes across as being delighted to be in the job. The other candidates, Horneland & Schwartz did not show that desire & would probably have just seen it as another job.

Excellent Q and A tonight at Pittodrie with the new boss. Very impressed and he answered the questions well. Really won over a lot of supporters. Best manager Q and A since McKinnes left. Get behind him!! #COYR #StandFree #DonsLIVE #Dons #afc @AberdeenFC

@heraldscotland The aim must be to allow you to arrange you Corridor Care quicker! (Corridor Care is most prevalent in Labour run Wales).

Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar has criticised the SNP's 'delay and dither' over an app for Scotland's health service 👇

@StandFree_AFC Good point, he is clearly delighted to get the job. Would Horneland or Schwartz been the same or would they just have seen it as another job?

I might be in the minority but I have a lot of time for him. He joined quick as ever, he’s done great with minimal resources. He’s won a domestic cup with st mirren. He wants to be here and he has my full backing. The board is the problem, I think he’ll sort us out !
