📰“Bird, who works as a senior policy advisor for the SNP’s Westminster group, announced her candidacy on social media, saying she wanted ‘to represent the community that raised me and the place I call home’ and ‘to take the fight for independence right into the heart of Westminster.’
✊🏼 “She said: ‘This is the time for a strong voice who will stand up for what we believe in. I promise you that if you select me to be your candidate I will dedicate everything I have to a better future for Scotland.’
⚖️ “Bird – who is also a qualified barrister and PHD student at King’s College – thanked local members who had encouraged her to stand and urged supporters to ‘BACK BIRD’ to take Scotland forward to independence.’”
🏴Thank you @scotnational for covering the selection competition here in Arbroath and Broughty Ferry.

Nigel Farage seems to have a mere 5 properties compared with Offord's 6. He also says what was once described as a personal £5m gift for security is now reward for his Brexit campaigns. A positively Trumpian attitude to the truth.

Been trying to find diamond shaped timber - no joy so far. Any suggestions where I can get something like this?

@JohnSwinney @theSNP @DaveDooganSNP The ‘joyful’ olds that are keeping Scotland in slow motion. Are they OK with your ill informed concept of kowtowing to SF/IRA.

Joyful meeting with @theSNP Perthshire North Constituency Association today. I expressed my deepest thanks to everyone who campaigned locally to secure our election success. Good to have my constituency colleague and our new Westminster Leader @DaveDooganSNP there too.

@MarieMacklin I’m sure the 32 agin will have no shame in calling on the Armed Forces to provide Military Aid to the Civil Power. After all the troops serve the Crown and can be treated as non-humans.
an' 32 Glasgow cooncillers sez, "We serve no red-coats here."

WOW the devil is always in the detail.
Freedom of the City Glasgow for The Royal Regiment of Scotland
Vote lost by 5 votes.
28 councillors for the motion.
32 against the motion.
SNP and Greens.
So basically 32 councillors decided that us residents of Glasgow don’t want to honour our own Heroes 🏴
A National disgrace.
“The motion suggested a ceremony should be organised to confer the freedom of the city of Glasgow upon the royal regiment in “recognition of its historic ties, valued community engagement, and distinguished service”.
It added the Royal Regiment of Scotland, which was formed in March 2006, draws on “more than 390 years of continuous service through its antecedent regiments, including the Royal Scots Fusiliers and the Highland Light Infantry (City of Glasgow Regiment)”.

@ScotNational FM erred in telling Scotland it was time to move on. He appears to be distancing himself from the concept. SF appearing in WM to showboat with SNP and Plad. The latter will be full time in Wales on outdoing Labour’s past.
SF and yourselves are making the most noise on this dud.

The Union is under threat in a way that perhaps hasn’t been seen since at least 2014. Here's what the so-called 'Celtic Alliance' might actually mean constitutionally 👇 #Echobox=1779006377-2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thenational.scot/news/26111415.…

It was stated that bestowing the city’s “highest honour” upon an organisation was “inherently problematic”.

@ParlKilkington1 @putey_pute At around 34secs on the bottom left video is the hero of the day.
The young man deftly steps off the pavement and makes good his retreat clutching his prized possession - a bottle of Buckie.
Not all heroes wear capes.

@ScotNational Is there a confidential helpline available?
Are there opportunities to be a tout for MI5?
Is there a security team for punishment beatings and kneecap removals?

@GAZAWOOD1 @Kat_Bee_123 Child combatants, keeping the death toll of children high. What’s their reward in the afterlife?

HORRIFYING!
Once again, armed children in Gaza are being mixed in with adult terrorists.

Why would Makerfield allow themselves to be a stepping stone? If Burnham wins the seat he will most certainly be next PM, Burnham will never return to Whatsitpark. Cheers! Suckers!
Zia Yusuf@ZiaYusufUK
Andy Burnham abandoning his post as Mayor, and triggering an election in service of nothing other than his own ambition. Using the people of Makerfield as his pawns. Big mistake.

@ScotNational The alarm bells should be ringing. SF is unable to force a Border Poll due to the majority in NI showing little interest in jumping ship at this time. Scotland needs to steer clear of the miden that is SF/IRA persuasion operations. SF/IRA make long term enemies not friends.
