@murrayf00te First, you create an inaccurate, fantasy analysis of English politics, then say “make it make sense “.
You’re right - your analysis is nonsense.

So England voted out the Tories because they were a disaster. While England was giving Labour a chance to disappoint them, the same Tories changed their name to Reform. Now England has again voted for the disastrous former Tories under a different name. Make it make sense.

It calls itself a newspaper, and he calls himself a journalist. This is not journalism, this is crude political propaganda paid for by crude right wing cash.

Our election day front page... The scandal-ridden SNP are a clapped-out bunch of scoundrels who have driven Scotland into the ground. Let's chuck them on the scrap heap. thescottishsun.co.uk/news/16232760/…

@ammacj You choose to define publications as pro unionist because they do not fill their pages with pro independence propaganda. I, and many like me, am open to the idea of independence, but l’m appalled at the lack of respect shown to other opinions.

BBC Scotland daily promotion of unionist press.👇
In 41 days of Scottish Election campaign:
Papers highlighted:
19 Scotsman
15 Herald
11 Sun
10 Daily Record
1 National
81 from pro-unionist papers
1 from pro-independence paper
32 negative stories about Scotland, 0 positive

@paddyb53 @Feargal_Sharkey Right on cue - the personal attack interspersed with anti English sentiment, all the while ignoring the latest SNP display of “transparency”.
English
The wee Derry/Londonderry boy (unclear what he identifies as) @Feargal_Sharkey bumping his gums about Scotland again before an election while England bathes in sewage...he's obviously in the pay of his British handlers....clean water champion my arse.

When you see the relentless attacks from other parties on the Greens across the media remember this:
They hate our plan to end Rip Off Britain.
They don't want a wealth tax.
They don't want public ownership & lower bills.
They're trying everything in their power to stop us.
English
@JohnSwinney Thanks for that, Mr Swinney. Is there any thing in your manifesto for the taxpayers who will be paying for all your bribes?
English
Two days until the election and the choice is clear.
I want to urgently cut the cost of living, with lower bus fares and cheaper essential foods, and secure the fresh start of independence for Scotland.
Other parties only talk about stopping us. #BothVotesSNP this Thursday. 🏴

@ScottishSun @staylorish You seem to be implying that l said “bad words” about Screen Scotland. I disagree. If the BFI claimed that the grant funding for a project came solely from the Lottery, it would be a reasonable question to pose.
English
@ScottishSun @staylorish I note that Screen Scotland are saying that the 500k came from the Lottery. I wonder if they can demonstrate that Lottery funds in their possession are ring-fenced and kept separate from all other funding.

@jim45cotland I can remember when he was a respected statistician, and wasn’t in the business of “ripping apart” non-nationalist politicians.
English
Remember John Curtice ripping apart Craig Hoy over his unionist tactics:
“the argument [in Scotland] is not simply about how much money is spent, it’s about WHO should decide how the money is spent”

@Fergie_CJ Ok, please tell us why you think he’s standing.

Why would a millionaire Lord, living in England, running a successful business and director of 70 other companies, want to be an MSP in a pretendy wee devolved parliament? How would he find the time? One thing for sure: it's not for the benefit of Scotland or Scottish people.
Fergie@Fergie_CJ
@AdamCC92 @rowan9sam Yes, Companies House is always interesting. You really have to wonder how a guy living in England with 70 company directorships, running his own company on top would find time to be FM of Scotland. And why he'd want to be.
English
@alexgill_ I suppose you prefer an environment where no dissent is allowed, SNP style?
English
@rogerlwhite For a party that has increased the price of whisky in Scotland to combat the harm it causes in Scotland, they seem strangely proud of Swinney’s role in reducing the price in another country.
English
@McAllister1973 Unlike you and John Swinney, Mr Alexander is not claiming personal credit for this development.
English
I didn't spot Mr Alexander in the Oval Office when John Swinney made Scotland’s case. Weird.
Douglas Alexander@D_G_Alexander
John Swinney didn’t deliver this win…it was the tireless work of British negotiators working for a British Government that’s delivered for Scotland. Scotland deserves better than a First Minister failing at home, claiming credit for another Government’s achievements abroad.
English
@NiallFraser8 You seem blissfully unaware of the historical context of your views - I hope…
English
The problem with Offord's bragging about his assets is that he made his money BY using money. Fundamentally wrong and unjust in my view.
English
@owenjonesjourno Sometimes the truth is inconvenient: Mr Polanski made his position clear, and has been swiftly been proved wrong, yet again. I hope neither of you ever have to suffer the very real consequences of a “perception of unsafety”.
English
Let’s respond to a horrific antisemitic atrocity by attacking the only Jewish party leader by twisting his words!
Robert Jenrick@RobertJenrick
Appalling news this morning. My thoughts are with the victims who are now in critical care. Last week Zack Polanski said there is a discussion to be had about whether the rampant antisemitism we’re seeing has merely created a "perception of unsafety". It is real and it is violent. In the last few months Synagogues have had bricks throw at them. Ambulances set on fire. School kids assaulted. And today two Jewish people stabbed in the street. It won’t be stopped unless it is rooted out by every section of our society and the perpetrators are properly punished.
English
@LesleyRiddoch You sound like you agree with the Green position of advocating punitive taxes on the rich at the same time as wanting them all to leave. Genius economics.
English
Reform Scottish leader asks Ross Greer: ‘I’ve got 6 homes, five cars and six boats. Do you want more high achieving folk like me in Scotland?’ Whit! During a cost of living crisis? Gobsmackingly awful contribution by Malcolm Offord in #STVdebate.

@dmccafferty49 @conor_matchett “Better Together” was successful in their campaign in 2014. Unlike you, the people involved have accepted the result and moved on.
English
@conor_matchett Two unionist parties appealing to the same pro unionist voter base is quite something to behold.
Whatever happened to "Better Together"..
English
Remarkable personal attack from Graham Simpson on Anas Sarwar.
Says he thinks the Scottish Labour leader has "cracked", "lost the plot" and needed to "sort himself out"
Adds the two were friends when Convenor and Deputy on the Public Audit Committee, but no more after today...
English
@raisethegame I’m afraid Stephen is (yet again) confusing a reference to him and his party as a reference to Scotland. This is beyond tedious.
English
@PatrickCammy @staylorish One last try. I agree with everything you say in relation to elections. My point is in relation to single issue referenda. It is clearly undemocratic to repeat a referendum until the result changes, and at that point to call the result the settled will of the people.
English
@Patrick03335000 @staylorish Your point makes no sense,though. In a democracy,there shouldn’t be a permanent “settled will.”People should be able to change their mind.Also,people should be able to vote;I had family who voted during Brexit who have died & others who were too young to vote then,but are >18 now
English
Except if they vote no. Then they will be harangued non-stop by SNP politicians demanding they answer the question again.
John Swinney@JohnSwinney
Scotland’s future is up to the people who live in Scotland, not Westminster politicians.
English
@PatrickCammy @staylorish And then, 4 years later, we have the chance to change things: l was making a point about “settled will”, with no chance to change things.
English
@Patrick03335000 @staylorish That’s literally what democracy is: traditionally,every 4 years,the Greens postulate a climate-based manifesto; tories to conserve & maintain the status quo;Labour,pre Blair, to benefit the working-class;& indy parties to achieve indy. The electorate then votes for what they want
