@SophiaPangloss @ka10_c @SkyNews For me this goes to the heart of competent government - this ain’t it

Stephen Flynn on @SkyNews *completely* refusing to answer a question about why the SNP are happy to see male criminals put in women's prisons, while denying that's what he did right there on fucking camera.

@MonicaLennon7 @ScottishLabour @Sunday_Mail @RutherglenCLP Seriously, Monica, ask anyone in this constituency what's Michael Shanks done for people here and the answer is absolutely nothing. There's no fresh start with Labour, just the same psychodrama and leadership plotting as the Tories. Slogans won't cut it. We've had enough.

🚌 The SNP will cap bus fares at £2 to make travel cheaper and help with the cost of living. 🗳️ On Thursday, vote SNP and Angus Robertson for Edinburgh Central.

@jeremycorbyn @IndyAsapScot Are you smoking crack whilst posting 🤯

The stabbing of two Jewish men is horrifying. So too is the attack on a Muslim man the same day, ignored by much of our media. All human lives are equal — and we should oppose all hatred and violence wherever it appears. That’s how we build a safe & peaceful society for all.

@scott_blair2516 Horrible guy - could tell within 5 secs. Apparently work to do doesn’t mean speaking to constituents. Thats how detached from reality they are - they forget they’re public servants. Sorry this is your representative. Vote for someone else….

My daughters got handed rape alarms and local SNP Cllr Andrew Ferguson refused to come and hear our concerns at the fountain today and instead quoted that I have exploited my children by protesting and trying to raise awareness. Just last night in Dumfries tho…

In elections candidates CVs, in a standardised format, should be made available to the electorate.

@JoonesNorma @toddy19 @euroscots @TerrySaurus14 @WingsScotland I’ve taken the view that the first vote will be for competence in Government - 2nd vote independence (Not SNP)

@euroscots @TerrySaurus14 @WingsScotland I'm pro independence and used to be an SNP member. Now I have absolutely nobody to vote for. I hate not voting.

An email I got this morning, very similar to many I’ve had recently.

What if the biggest “win” for families in the last 50 years was actually a trap? Rory Sutherland dropped this on Alex O’Connor’s podcast: The two-income household started as a nice option. Both partners work, more money comes in. Feels great at first. Then reality shifted. Governments got double the tax. Existing homeowners watched their property values soar. House prices rose to match two salaries. Suddenly one income wasn’t enough anymore — even for high-earning singles like consultant surgeons. Families traded ~35 hours of free time per week for only modest gains in lifestyle. What began as freedom quietly became an obligation. And it left single people and parents who want to raise their own kids at a real disadvantage. This one stings because we sold it as pure progress. Personally, it makes me question how many modern “upgrades” we’ve normalized without counting the real cost — especially lost time with family. What’s something you once thought was clear progress that now feels like it came with a heavier price than we admitted?

@JohnSwinney Nah mate if you’re being honest with yourself at 3 in the morning , lying in your bed, you must know in your heart you’ve betrayed Scotland - done zero to progress independence - you’ve enjoyed being an administrator and that’s not good enough.

I love Scotland to my core and as your First Minister, I will make sure Scotland’s voice is always heard loud and clear. Busy few days on the campaign trail, and I look forward to meeting people every part of the country as we approach polling day next Thursday.

The BBC reporting that Britain is becoming awful because of immigrants 😳

@McGinleyForAyr And a partridge on a pear tree

A Scottish Labour government will deliver: 🏠125,000 New Homes 👷 9,000 New Apprenticeships 📖 2,000 New Teachers 👨‍🏫 1,500 New Classroom Assistants 👮 A Police Officer In Every Community Let’s bring hope back to our country. On May 7th, vote Scottish Labour.

@UKLabour Tell that to the workers of Grangemouth.

Labour is the ONLY party that could have done this. And Labour is the ONLY party that will continue to defend workers' rights in years to come.

@AnasSarwar We can see what Starmer has done in two years though…..that’s the issue you have.

I’ll be a First Minister who puts Scotland’s economy first and gets deals done. You’ve given the SNP 20 years, give me 5 and I’ll build a better future for Scotland.

@ZackPolanski @janis_henderson Mate nobody cares about your religion. We care about you not supporting our Police Force. You’ve been reprimanded for amplification of a critical tweet. Be a man and take it on the chin (or breasts)

Yesterday in Hastings, in the wake of antisemitic attacks in Golders Green, I faced Nazi salutes. Today the Prime Minister uses his office to attack the only Jewish party leader to score political points.

Pigs in the trough. This is the despised MP @bphillipsonMP's mother's charity. WWiN, a women's charity, had an income of £2,356,822 as of March 2025. £1,164,592 just from government contracts. Any conflicts of interest, Ms Phillipson?

@theSNP This could be a normal, basic function of government.

A re-elected SNP government will create a Better Surfaces Fund to support councils to fix potholes, resurface roads and improve drainage, helping deliver up to £350 million of investment in better roads across Scotland. Make it #BothVotesSNP on May 7 for a government that’s on your side.

@HannahMargBrown @heraldscotland He’s a beta male - gimp - never contributes anything to the economy - net drain on taxes
