@msm_monitor And it will drop the SNP like a hot potato!

BBC Scotland threw its weight behind Labour when it became obvious Douglas Ross and his motley crew were becoming a liability. The broadcaster has been campaigning for Labour in Scotland and is heavily invested in promoting Sarwar. It will cheer on a Labour by-election win.

@moridura I’m here!

I'm still here, still arguing for #independence. Where the hell has a chunk of the rest of you gone?

@markthehibby Nothing to do with leadership: briefing against the whip is always cause for expulsion

If a picture ever summed up what Sturgeon/Humza have done to even their own party it's this! 👇👇

This has to be tackled head-on. The man in the audience was a former Tory election candidate. Viewers were duped into believing he was an ordinary member of the public. His political past was concealed. This is happening again and again on BBC Scotland programmes.

When you have a crisis, you have to act with urgency. The urgency that crisis demands. Those of us in the Global North are simply not responding fast enough. That is why Scotland will continue to show global leadership on issues such as Loss and Damage.

It is really not normal for the hall at the UN General Assembly to break into this kind of spontaneous applause. The US has been losing the room internationally for a decade. The appalling treatment of Julian is a focus for that.

I've seen a few comments like this on reducing voting age to 16, so a technical point. There's no 'under 16s don't pay tax' rule All people, regardless of age, are eligible to pay income tax and are (mostly) taxed identically. If a 5 year old had huge inheritance or was a child start with big earnings, they'd be taxed. It's just most under 16/18s don't earn enough to pay tax.

NEW: Mhairi Black has urged young voters in the forthcoming Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election to back her party with the message 'Westminster has shafted you'. 🗣️ 'Don’t let Westminster lock you out from making your voice heard'

GRIMM BY-ELECTION NEWS A @LabourParty official has revealed that @jackiebmsp has "expressed sympathy"for the people of Rutherglen and Hamilton West if @mgshanks is elected as their MP.She said "The boy is as thick as a plank and has to be worked like a ventriloquist dummy by HQ"

Edinburgh Trams ... What the media won't report. 1. The SNP opposed the Edinburgh Trams. 2. The SNP wanted to dual the A9 instead. 3. Labour joined with the Tories & Lib Dems to force the SNP to fund the trams instead of the A9.

@HaddleyTheresa I think that might count as common assault

My granddaughter just came home from school,absolutely sweating,they are not allowed to take their blazers off in school,in this heat that’s so wrong, meanwhile teachers are in summer dresses and short sleeved shirts

🇪🇺 We’re developing a Scottish Education Exchange Programme, to retain links with the EU & improve opportunities for our young people. ❌ Brexit has robbed our young people of so much, but we’re ensuring that Scotland’s young people can still benefit from educational exchanges.

'Nationalism' There is no guilt in the name when people become nationalists to throw off a colonial usurper. When that is accomplished they return to being citizens again.

Game-changing announcement from the Lord Advocate. All evidence shows that safe drug consumption rooms can save lives. Shame it has taken this long because of UK Government intransigence on drugs policy.

@ScotNational That’s him off my Christmas card list

Ally McCoist said that perhaps "SNP fans" were to blame for the booing thenational.scot/sport/23785600…

“Labour, a once great social democratic party, which can take credit for huge achievements like founding the NHS, has been reduced to a centrist organisation determined to leave inequality and injustice as they are.” Read my latest column here 👉 bitly.ws/UftX
