@Nick_whelan_ @BrianLeishmanMP Kowtow means to kneel and touch your forehead to the ground to show deep deference, respect, or submission. Originating as a traditional Chinese custom, it is used more broadly in English to mean acting servilely or bowing excessively to authority

This is most welcome. Especially if, and it’s a massive if, SNP backbenchers actually hold their own party to account and break their habit of being nothing more than voting fodder and cheerleaders for whatever awful positions and decisions their leadership take.
Presiding Officer@POScotParl

The Presiding Officer has informed Parliament of changes to business. Kenneth Gibson MSP has made key changes including: 🟣 FMQs now twice a week 🟣 Questions for FMQs will NOT be published in advance 🟣 More General Questions

It is simply not the case that 250 people pay 60% of all the income tax in Scotland @SirTomHunter. This is a false claim that should be corrected. Here’s why 🧵
Go Radio@thisisgoradio

“We can get 250 people in a room at Gleneagles who are paying 60% of all the income tax in Scotland, and then we've got Ross Greer saying, “tax the rich”” On Sunday’s episode of The Go Radio Business Show, Sir Tom Hunter and Lord Willie Haughey reacted to the Sunday Times Rich List, wealth creators leaving Britain, and why they believe Scotland needs more entrepreneurs, not fewer. Watch the full episode now on Go Radio’s YouTube channel or wherever you get your podcasts. 🎧 In association with @BarclaysHampden

Someone has shockingly decided to remove the sex of MSPs from the Scottish Parliament’s website. I have a message for the new Presiding Officer: Why was this allowed in the first place? This decision simply erases women all in the name of gender ideology. It must be reversed NOW.

@ruth_wishart Who is looking into a foreigner being in Scottish Politics how can someone from another country stand to be elected. Is Scotland being screwed over with the wrong kind of politics is the constitution and laws in Scotland need to be looked at.

So nobody vetted Mountbatten Windsor before handing him the trade gig. Because Royals are always beyond reproach. Aye. Right.

@mammybear20 @MhairiHunter Solutions are out there move to more unisex facilities. We already do it for disabled toilets move them all to being cubicle based. Again in changing rooms move back to the idea of the old swimming baths where you had a cubicle for the individual or family to change in.

@MhairiHunter As a gender critical women I simply want men who say they are women to respect women. If they (and the Scottish govt) had done that, then FWS never needed to happen. But a man who respects women doesn’t enter their single sex space!

After John Swinney ran an election campaign on the slogan 'It's Scotland's Energy' he's appointed a cabinet which doesn't have a cabinet secretary for energy. It does have a position responsible for sacking public sector workers though.

@SangitaMyska Absolutely not, Sangita. Seriously. Let Burnham have a free pass so he can just replace Starmer, but with a different face supporting the same policies? The Greens are not here to be disappointed by Labour. We are here to replace them.

It is clear that our victories in seats like Caithness, Sutherland and Ross and Strathkelvin and Bearsden have denied John Swinney the majority he craved. Our new MSPs are now raring to go to deliver change with fairness at its heart for their constituents.

There is no public demand for another independence referendum and support for separatist parties is well down on its peak. John Swinney and the SNP are trying to invent a mandate that simply does not exist. Most Scots want governments focused on fixing schools, hospitals, transport and the economy - not dragging the country back into another divisive constitutional campaign.

@MaureenBurkeMP @The_SCOTS Good little House Jock attacking @theSNP for your Westminster masters. Did they call you a good girl? Did they pat you on the head? Did they tickle your belly? Stress you hoping for all odd the above? From people who won’t even remember your name?

Over 20 local councils across Scotland have honoured @The_SCOTS with the Freedom of their area to mark the Regiment's 20th anniversary - but SNP & Green Councillors refused to do so in Glasgow. It is not too late: Glasgow City Council should reconsider its decision.

@clematinelecras @bmay They are NOT successful job applicants. These people volunteered to stand and were elected as local councillors.

@Michael_Thawe We should increase the minimum wage to a level to allow us to stop paying UC to workers. Stop subsidising poverty employers.

Why does the British state have to top up the wages of supermarkets workers by the way of Universal Credit top up payments? These supermarkets have been making billions in record profits. That’s the problem.

This afternoon, I asked if the Scottish Government agrees with Glasgow City Council's claim that it "simply isn't credible" to establish an official, managed fan zone due to costs. It is time for everyone to step up and take action to prevent Glasgow's streets and emergency services from being subject to entirely predictable and preventable disorder every year.

Here we go again😡 John Swinney has announced the first vote of this parliament will be on independence. It is now clear that the SNP intend on using the next five years as they used the last 19 years. Stoking up grievance and division. Not governing for Scotland. Surely it is time to move on from this independence obsession.
