As @NicolaSturgeon steps down as an MSP, I’m fondly remembering the time she delivered the best answer to a question from the opposition.
Holyrood was such a fun ride between the 2014 referendum and the 2015 election
“I think I’m busy that day” 🤣🤣🤣

@AustinRSheridan @theSNP Or, we going get rip-off Labour, the witless gweenies and the SNP, all of whom have blocked oil and gas exploitation and caused tens of thousands of job losses thanks to their idiotic net zero obsession.

The only way we can grow or energy sector and cheaper energy for Scots is to become independent.
Westminster are devastating our energy sector, leading to job losses.
This is why it’s essential to vote @theSNP and seize the opportunities of independence. 💛🗳️🏴 #BothVotesSNP
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.

@ChrisMcEleny @kaukabstewart Can we ban advocates of violence like these reprobates from public spaces?
English
“ I will not apologise for this but…we cannot blanket ban people from certain places.”
Yes, @kaukabstewart we can ban men from women’s toilets, changing rooms and single sex spaces. That is the law.

@FurkanGozukara Oh come on, if you're looking for a Joseph Goebbels propaganda award, your pish has to contain at least a grain of truth.
English
Absolute insanity exposed at the UN. Special Rapporteur Albanese reveals Israeli authorities openly boast about sadistic treatment, allowing civilians to film the humiliation of detainees. Soldiers caught on camera committing rape are publicly celebrated. A sick society.

@EthanLevins2 Oh come on, if you're looking for a Joseph Goebbels propaganda award, your pish has to contain at least a grain of truth.

Anybody that has 'served' in the IDF need to face criminal trial.
The IDF is a terrorist organization.

First Minister @JohnSwinney: "The homophobic joke - alleged joke - by Malcolm Offord as the leader of Reform is a warning to this country of what is coming our way.
"Because there is no place for homophobia, racism and intolerance - that's what Reform represent." #FMQs
English
Kind of people in Scotland who'd give their vote to Nigel Farage's Reform UK Party are exactly the kind of people who WANT their politicians to be racist, homophobic, Anglocentric, hard-right wing bullshitters. It's a badge of honour for them. Outrage is water off a duck's back.
English
@ScotNational Awwwwwww diddums.
Get a sense of humour you grey faced apparatchik.
English
Watch as John Swinney warns Malcolm Offord's homophobic joke 'is a warning to this country of what is coming our way' as Reform starts its election campaign 🎥

We found a single mass grave in Gaza containing 300 people.
Small children were killed with their hands tied behind their backs.

"A French woman recounts the Israeli genocide in Gaza: We found a single mass grave in Gaza containing 300 people. Small children were killed with their hands tied behind their backs. Then they come out and claim that Israeli soldiers are the most moral in the world."!

@80_mcswan It was hilarious!
We need real people in politics not zombie apparatchiks.

George Michael's partner, Fadi Fawaz, death was no laughing matter, nor was George Michael's sexuality or, indeed, his partner.
It is shameful that the Scottish Reform leader Malcolm Offord used both to poke fun at them at a Burns supper.
Disgusting from Malcolm Offord

🚨 🇺🇸 🇮🇷 BREAKING: Iran announces that ALL American bases in region have been ELIMINATED and they are now looking for the hidden military personnel
English
@bellacaledonia You mean someone with a sense of humour?
Rather that than witless apparatchiks.
English
I mean, if you're a disgusting homophobe and running for public office then everyone has the right to know this
English
John Swinney just accused Malcolm Offord of being an intolerant, homophobic racist.

@HolyroodDaily @jamiegreeneUK Aw diddums.......
Nobody wants a regional council full of po-faced apparatchiks.

Lib Dem MSP @jamiegreeneUK: "There are people who aspire to become MSPs in this place who are spouting Islamophobic bile on social media and cracking jokes at the expense of gay people.
"I am utterly saddened to hear politicians use language which reduces people to adjectives."

@JohnSwinney @theSNP They're deeply grateful for having had a cosy sinecure whildt foing nothing and are looking forward to enjoying their vast pension pots.

Final FMQs of this Parliament.
I think of 1999 when I sat as a new MSP in our reconvened Scottish Parliament, and the colleagues who won’t be standing again. I am deeply grateful for their service and their friendship.
Now, we’re ready to write the next chapter for Scotland. 🏴

Value, purpose & happiness was never derived from status or high office, but enjoying the journey with those I love.
As I leave Parliament for the last time as an MSP, I can't thank my parents or Nadia enough for the love & support they have given me over the years. Thank you ♥️

@neilcgray @theSNP That's because the SNP don't even bother to negotiate but just bend over for every new demand.

A fifteenth resident doctor strike in England.
Not a single day lost to industrial action in Scotland’s NHS.
Doing the hard work of negotiating & delivering for our staff and patients.
@theSNP leadership delivers for our NHS.
The BMA@TheBMA
Resident doctors have been left with no choice but to strike. Weeks of negotiations with the Government have failed to deliver enough progress on pay, with the goalposts being moved at the last minute. We have called six days of industrial action to make the Government listen, stop the game playing, and come back with an offer that delivers fairly on both jobs and pay.

@nats_tired You'll need a wallet this big to stuff your pension in.......
