Recycling is a moral imperative. As currently designed, the Deposit Return Scheme is not ready to go live in August. It has major issues for small businesses with many fearing they will be forced out of business. It needs to be returned + recycled so that it works for everyone

Joanna Cherry needs to go. I’m amazed the party hasn’t taken action which is disappointing. If no one else does, I will challenge for SNP candidate for Edinburgh South West. If a more local progressive candidate goes forward they’ll have my support. But she WILL be challenged!

The SNP shouldn't underestimate the power the Greens would hold without the BHA - if a new FM came in and diverted from the agenda they were elected on, all opposition parties would be able (and justified) to VONC them, potentially triggering a snap election. 👀

I also asked about his commitment to the SNP/Green deal and he reiterated his support for it, arguing minority government would be "disastrous" now and ending co-operation with Greens won't help grow the indy movement thenational.scot/news/23347279.…

spectator.co.uk/article/the-sn… Is this wishful thinking from the Spectator - seems to see Humza Yousaf as the shoe-in winner. I rather suspect that SNP voters (like everyone else) don't really like being told how they will vote.

I'm not actually sure that Scotland is a "secular country". To my mind we're more of a pluralistic democracy, a hodgepodge of different faiths and none, painted on a backdrop of a country with a state church, and historical Christianity going back 1500 years.

Scotland is a secular country which made it an act of political folly for Kate Forbes to voluntarily introduce her religious beliefs into her election campaign. I'm clear her views are unacceptable. But we still can't get into a position of requiring ppl to justify their faith.

There's a deep frustration showing from socially progressive wing of Scottish politics, who have echo-chambered themselves into position where it's simply unthinkable that people like Kate exist and are popular, but that *doesn't* give a licence for hyperbolic misrepresentation.

It is clear that @HumzaYousaf has no interest in Independence only interested in his political career. He sounds more like the labour party than a man wanting to lead Scotland's independence movement and party. The time is now to stop the rot and rid ourselves of the careerists

When up to 10,000 Ulster Loyalists took to the streets of Markethill to make clear the Protocol must go. “We will not be under the jackboot of foreign EU law.” “Until the Protocol is resolved, until the Irish Sea Border is removed, there is no basis for power-sharing.”
