The fact the Scottish Gov protected Scots health data and our NHS from being sold off to US tech giant Palantir really doesn’t get enough credit. Do feel for patients and the NHS in England. We dodged a bullet on that one thanks to the SNP!
The BMJ@bmj_latest

Every hospital in England has been urged to disobey an NHS directive to use software operated by US analytics software company Palantir. A coalition of human rights, health and patient organisations, and unions sent out the plea to NHS trusts by email bmj.com/content/392/bm…

@msm_monitor @sandramacbeth Makes you wonder what the feeling must be like with others within the Scottish branch watching Sarwar and Bailie.

The worst political leader at Holyrood used to be Douglas Ross, just for sheer obnoxiousness. Anas Sarwar has wrested that accolade from Ross with his performance, especially this last six months. Demanding his party leader resign 12 weeks out from an election was insane. His 'stroke joke' was evidence of someone lacking basic awareness. His "old friend" boast about Mandelson made him a hostage to fortune for no gain whatsoever. Similarly, he unnecessarily sold himself as a close friend and ally to Starmer when it was obvious the new PM lacked charisma and charm and was easily disliked. Given the advantages Sarwar has enjoyed for four years as BBC Scotland's favoured Unionist and the protection that came with that, he must rank as one of the worst party leaders Holyrood has ever seen.

@ScottishLabour What it proves that Anas Sarwar and Jackie Baillie used the tragedy for political reasons and misled bereaved families. Lowest of the low type of politics and even more so that Sarwar hasn’t apologised. This should be a resigning issue using tragedy for politics.

@AnasSarwar When are you going to apologise to bereaved families and others for using the QUEH tragedy for political games? Now claiming children are scared. You should resign.

@TheScotsman Where is Sarwars apology for false smears and misleading bereaved families over QUEH? He should be facing questions or resigning not being promoted to make even more fear-mongering claims.

Anas Sarwar in recent weeks ... Rebuked by Lord Advocate for making misleading comments relating to a live case. Condemned by Fire Fighters for making misleading comments anout the Glasgow fire. Condemned by a stroke charity for a disgusting joke. If this was John Swinney it would be all over BBC Scotland and STV News. He'd be the subject of discussions with media commentators with his suitability as FM called into question. But it isn't Swinney. It's Sarwar.

The Tories are finished, Labour have been terrible, Farage and his right wing fools are on the rise throughout the UK and political magazine editor calls the upcoming Scottish election “meh”. 🤯 Is that because that ‘particular party’ is polling close to a majority?
mandy rhodes@holyroodmandy

This is a ‘meh’ election in which voters are tactically discussing how to use their vote to prevent a particular party winning rather than putting their faith in one they would like to succeed. Me in ⁦@HolyroodDailyholyrood.com/editors-column…

@holyroodmandy @HolyroodDaily The threat of Farage and his band of right wing fools rising throughout the UK and the utter failure of Labour after the most corrupt Tory party and Holyrood editor calls the upcoming election “meh”. Incredible! This election is proving to be vital.

I had a job to do in South Queensferry and I left home in brilliant sunshine. However, when I arrived in South Queensferry, it was shrouded in haar. Not to be deterred, I went back to North Queensferry, found a nice vantage point, and waited for this to unfold in front of me.

“Body after body, tiny little bodies are being carried to their graves” CNN documented the funeral of four young Lebanese children buried together by their mother, the oldest is 13 and the youngest is only 6 years old, who were killed in an Israeli airstrike while playing together in their family home. The strike wiped out almost the entire family. Since March 2, at least 110 children have been killed by Israeli attacks in Lebanon

@UKGovScotland @kirstyjmcneill @Ryanair You've got some brass neck, Kirsty. The Scottish Government (led by the SNP) saved Prestwick Airport from closure. Westminster didn't lift a finger to help. It would also have closed down if "Scottish" Labour had been in power at Holyrood.

To be clear it is a £40m project with £20m from Ryanair, £15m from the Scottish government and £5m from the UK government. The key figure credited with organising the Ryanair–Prestwick deal was Kate Forbes, Scotland's Deputy First Minister.
UK Government Scotland@UKGovScotland

📢🛫NEWS UK Government Minister @kirstyjmcneill was at Prestwick as @Ryanair announced a £40m investment made possible by the UK Gov’s Ayrshire Growth Deal. This expansion is securing 1,200 highly skilled jobs by building Ryanair’s largest heavy maintenance hangar in Europe.

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.
