They take the p*ss, don't they? I'm not resigning for incompetence as I'm leaving in 2 months anyway. How dare she?
Sam Taylor@staylorish
Kate Forbes tells parliament there is little point in her resigning over the latest episode of the ferries fiasco, because she’ll be gone in a couple of months anyway.

@SteveSayersOne @BrianSpanner1 SNP Hold 25/35% of the electorate no matter what they do , the lower the turnout the better for SNP as they can get their supporters out voting .. low turnout in May guarantees them another 5 years !!
English
@BrianSpanner1 I know it’s shite, but pls vote - the lower the turnout the more likely an SNP win!

#SNPOut - #ProUK May will be here soon, our Prouk chance to oust the useless divisive gender warped SNP. 19yrs of broken promises & utter failure, blaming anyone, especially our UK, rather than themselves, ferries & men in women’s prisons just the tip of their vile destructive iceberg. If like me you REALLY want them out, you will #VoteTacticallyScotland - here’s how & technically why: Maximising Pro-UK Tactical Voting in Scottish Parliament Elections & Why Tactical Voting? The SNP dominates constituencies, locking in seats via FPTP. To oust them and block an independence majority, Prouk’s must consolidate votes—only tactical voting ensures this, as splitting hands wins to SNP. The AMS system lets you fight back: win constituencies outright, then use list votes to top up Prouk seats proportionally (via d’Hondt method, parties with few/no constituency wins get more efficient list allocation). Your Strategy as a Prouk Voter: • Constituency Vote: Back the strongest non-SNP ProUK candidate with a real shot (e.g., Tory, Labour, Lib Dem, or Reform if viable locally). Check polls (e.g., Ballot Box Scotland) to avoid splits—e.g., generally lend to Labour in urban seats, Tories in rural, but keep up with polling & local issues. • List Vote: Split to a different Prouk party, ideally one winning zero constituencies in your region (e.g., Reform UK across most areas—they’re projected for 18 list seats from list-only support). This maximises extra Prouk MSPs, diluting SNP/Greens. Avoid piling on constituency winners like Labour/Tories—their high divisors waste your vote. Example: In a Tory-winnable seat, vote Tory constituency + Reform list. In Labour areas, Labour + Reform. Result: More unionist seats overall, SNP minimised. Vote May 2026 - do not NOT vote! Unite Prouk to win! #ProUK #TacticalVoteScotland

@SteveSayersOne @ElectionMapsUK Less than 1 in ten of the electorate voted SNP , 8 out of 10 didn’t bother !!! And the rest gets split
This is what the SNP hope for low turnout !! They manage to get their lot out to vote !!

@ElectionMapsUK 22/% turnout 🙄 Ignore democracy by not voting and get what you could have easily prevented

How can you guarantee something that’s not within your legal competence?
Representing Border@ITVBorderRB
NEW: John Swinney says he can 'guarantee' there will be another independence referendum if SNP win majority of seats in 2026 Holyrood election. But the First Minister, speaking to @KieranPAndrews, won't be drawn on what he will do if the UK Government says no
English
@Ed_Miliband Oh fk off !!!! You promised £300 off the bills to get elected .. they went up by £200 !!! Now it’s supposedly coming down £150 .. it’s a comedy script !! But not at all funny !!!
English
The affordability crisis is the number one issue facing families.
That's why at the Budget we raised taxes on the wealthiest so we could take £150 of costs off energy bills.
This Labour government will always stand up for working people.

@markthehibby @LiamKerrMSP @AndrewBowie_MP @Fyrishsunset @Janela_X Why is this place always so fkn empty !!!!

SNP "Community Safety" Minister smirking behind Swinney as @LiamKerrMSP raises serious issues. Those impacted in Aberdeen and the North East are certainly not laughing! @AndrewBowie_MP @Fyrishsunset @Janela_X
English
@Janela_X @conor_matchett Surely this committee job is to decide was the code broke yes ? Or no ? … unintentionally or not has nothing to do with that .. how could you prove . If your caught over the speed limit nobody asks did you do it unintentionally !
English
@conor_matchett Swinney's words on 18 December re Constance. She broke the code. She must go!
English
BREAKING: Angela Constance broke the ministerial code TWICE, a sleaze probe has found
However she will be saved by John Swinney after the independent advisers said the breaches were done "unintentionally"
English
I can actually understand a reasonable ‘resettlement grant’ being given if you stand again and are beaten, but for those planning to stand down (ie choosing to move on) a year of what already is a good salary is crazy. It’s just the gravy train syndrome.
English
@JohnSwinney An appalling incident ??? … WTF !!! Another murderous terrorist attack on a Jewish community !!
English
I am horrified by the events at Bondi beach and send my sympathy and solidarity, and that of the people of Scotland, to those affected. This is an appalling incident.

@ClareAdamsonSNP Simple question .. how are you going to cut bills what’s the plan / strategy ?
English
Proud to back #ItsScotlandsEnergy
Scotland has resources to cut bills, support communities & transform our economy — only if we’re able to use our energy for Scotland’s people
We can’t afford to repeat the mistakes of the past — Put Scotland’s energy in Scotland’s hands

@TartanSeer You prepared to send Scotlands young to killing fields of Russia .. as these bstards want war with Russia ….

The sooner the flag of Scotland 🏴is raised at the EU parliament the better.
Farrukh@implausibleblog
The UK flag flew at the European Parliament for 47 years Brexit brought it down on 31st Jan 2020 The US under Trump, the US siding with Russia instead of the UK and Europe, the world has changed The sooner the UK flag is raised up again at the European Parliament, the better

No child should be going hungry. It is shameful that so many are in Scotland, but more importantly, it is completely avoidable 💔

@bellesareblue @AngusRobertson @IpsosScotland However the politicians would still fill their pockets and pensions pots !!! ….
English
@AngusRobertson @IpsosScotland Are people really so stupid that they would vote to break up the UK on nothing more than a gamble of independence that has no guarantee of success but will certainly lead to years of greater austerity than we have suffered before! It’s unbelievable!
English
🚨New Scotland Poll: SNP has opened a 17 point lead at 35% for Scottish Parliament. Labour collapses to 16% in third place behind Reform UK at 18%. 52% likely to vote in independence referendum saying they would vote YES. Details via @IpsosScotland👇 ipsos.com/en-uk/snp-rema…

@zarahsultana How many native born constituents, as in white, did you help with accessing our benefits system?
English
Yesterday I held my surgery in Cheylesmore, supporting constituents with everything from Universal Credit and DWP processes to changes to skilled worker visas, university transfers and Home Office casework.
If you need help, please get in touch (email address in my bio) 👊🏽

@adams_jim54810 @WhiskyElf Duty my arse , donate so the can pocket it , ask Sturgeon she seems to be making plenty !!
English
@WhiskyElf Very true I've made my donation it's every Scots duty to donate for the future of Scotland and it's people freedom from the lying English government
English
Must really irk anglophiles that SNP flourishes through member payments and not rely on dodgy money or oligarch donations
Despite money thrown at defeating the SNP, the brits fail miserably 🫠
If hutcheon wasnt such a pretendy journo, he’d know that’s the real story
