In serious times, I offer serious leadership.
I will cap essential food prices because people are struggling and it is the right thing to do.
And I will stand firm against Nigel Farage and the far right. Vote SNP to lock Reform out of government in Scotland.

@8east9 @GordonT97947342 @clydebankfc Also agree with that but unfortunately the turkeys won’t vote for Christmas
English
@mwatsonn90 @GordonT97947342 @clydebankfc The main point is that there is teams in league 1 & 2 who don’t have bronze as a minimum and this should null and void the arguement. No reason why these clubs should remain and rose be punished for it.
English
Scottish Football summed up at this level. Powers that be neglect it for so long. Should never have been allowed to go this far. Champions are champions but surely now @clydebankfc go into the playoff?? Or do Brora go straight through? Laughable but not surprising
Linlithgow Rose F.C.@LinlithgowRose
SPFL Pyramid Play-Off Competition Unfortunately, our application for a period of grace to fulfil the required criteria for our SFA Bronze Licence was declined by the SPFL Board. On this basis we are not eligible to participate in the Pyramid Play-Off Competition. We are taking the necessary steps to enable the Club to be considered for an SFA Bronze Licence at its next annual assessment.

@8east9 @GordonT97947342 @clydebankfc Sorry mate that one was aimed more at Gordons comment. The facilities are probably top 3 in the non league set up , if theres no hope for Linlithgow then there’s no much hope for any of the rest
English
@mwatsonn90 @GordonT97947342 @clydebankfc Haven’t played there for years so can’t comment. No doubt the facilities are fine. Just another occasion where the authorities let people down. The fact there are four clubs IN the leagues with entry level is ridiculous.
English
@GordonT97947342 @8east9 @clydebankfc Have you been to Linlithgow ? If you have, in your opinion are those facilities sub standard?
English
@8east9 @clydebankfc Not scottish footballs fault, that a team can't follow the rules and as for the runners up going through to the play offs then that makes it more of a laughing stock!!!
English
@BBCSportScot Would love to see the criteria, Linlithgow are probably top 3 for facilities in the non league set up
English
Linlithgow Rose say they "are not eligible to participate in" this season's SPFL pyramid play-offs, meaning Brora Rangers are set to take on Edinburgh City in the final.

Great to take delivery of my Campaign Bus - On Scotland’s Side. Look forward to travelling all around Scotland with a message of hope with the Fresh Start of Independence. #BothVotesSNP

@JohnWight1 The parents worked hard to provide this ‘middle class lifestyle’ you’ve quoted, they sacrificed where others didn’t to give their kids the best chance. Btw all their parents done was open the door, both brothers still had to step through it
English
A great story and journey to be sure. But you talk about Dunblane -- 'a tiny rainy town in Scotland' -- as if it's Easterhouse in Glasgow or Pilton in Edinburgh.
Dunblane is like Trumpton. It's a Scottish middle class utopia, where even the dugs in the street have hyphenated names.
😅😅🤣🤣🤣
Scott Barclay@BarclayCard18
It is genuinely incredible that two brothers from a tiny rainy town in Scotland were able to both make it to world number 1 at the same time at professional tennis. The stuff of fairytales and magic. ✨ The Murray brothers are both retired now but what an unreal journey it was.

@RexKwonDo_ Only 31% of students ever pay their debt back, it’s free alright, it’s a free for all for all the freeloaders riding the gravy train until the wheels come off
English
BBC radio Scotland drivetime has a 16 year old first time voter who's got a free university place saying she's voting conservative because the SNP have let her down.
Make it make sense?

@PeteWishart How many think tanks did it take to come up with the show stopping headline of “ 20p off your loaf” ?

Just imagine the UK Government blocking an initiative to make essential foods cheaper in a cost of living critics. That would really be a winner for them.....
The National@ScotNational
BREAKING: The UK Government has reacted to the SNP's plans to put a cap on the price of essential foods A senior source attacked it as 'incoherent' and 'undeliverable', but stopped short of saying they'd block it entirely

@indy_swim Free tuition’ either needs removed or major overhaul immediately. Only 31% of Scottish students pay it back at the minimum repayment after which the debt is written off after 30 years. It’s sleepwalking straight into bankruptcy
English
22-year old Reform activist studying politics in Aberdeen comes on to say that the SNP haven't delivered anything in 20 years - except the delivery of free tuition which allowed him to study politics - without having to pay anything towards it
You couldn't make it up lmao

@Channel4News The same Anas Sarwar that said he wants more South Asians in “positions of power” , turn it in , nothing but a krank

"Where do you want my children to go?"
Scotland's major party leaders clash over immigration policy, as Labour leader Anas Sarwar said a Reform candidate wanted to "deport" his children.
English
@SNPCallum @theSNP Too much of general statement this, for example ‘free’ prescriptions should be means tested. ‘Free’ methadone should not be, get the debate right, it’s about streamlining , not removing
English
“It’s wrong to suggest we pay more but get less”
🎓 🏥 Free Tuition & Prescriptions
🚈 💧 Nationalised Water & Rail Service
“You don’t have that anywhere else but other parts of the UK want it”
The SNP is always on Scotland’s side - a shame the same can’t be said for Labour👇

@theSNP Wealth creators rarely sell an asset, is this the best your think tanks could come up with ?
English
Renting should not mean losing your home with no say in what happens next.
If re-elected the SNP will give private renters the first chance to buy the home they live in at a fair market price if the landlord decides to sell.
Make it both votes SNP on May 7th for a government that’s on your side.
English
@JohnSwinney How many times are you and your party going to victimise landlords. You’ve had a go through the ADS, you’ve had a go through the 100% additional uplift to council tax on second properties. Landlords are not the problem John, your parties lack of foresight and growth is
English
Too many young people are paying more in rent than they would on a mortgage – but can’t save for a deposit.
If re-elected, my SNP government will change that.
✅ New right for private renters to buy their home
✅ £10,000 support for first-time buyers
The SNP is on your side.

Gianluigi Buffon:
“For twenty years we’ve been ashamed of who we are. For twenty years, I’ve felt like we have to play like Spain — we’ve abandoned our history. And because of that, talent has disappeared. Players like Ciro Ferrara, Fabio Cannavaro… today we’d be embarrassed to put them on the pitch. Chiellini wouldn’t play today because he doesn’t play line-breaking passes. You watch Barcelona and pay for a ticket, but thinking we can play with a high line in midfield for ninety minutes…
Italy’s historic matches were built on defending to the death, on team containment, on the cohesion of the result. Now it seems like we’re uncomfortable with that — otherwise, we won’t be accepted into football’s high society. I want to go out there to try and win, and there’s no shame in doing it with your own strengths.”

@mwatsonn90 @BigHilti1872 @EndCulturalWar Sorry mate I got them sold to a fella in Partick . I can put it into our club chat here and see if anyone has 2 beside eachother for you if you still need them tho
English

Reason for selling is because of the boats being cancelled so most clubs in Northern Ireland arent travelling over now @BigHilti1872 @EndCulturalWar

@realcolinquinn Why is it a different opinion is automatically divisive ?

Genuinely, i’d like a chat with Aimee. I’d like to understand why a young person like her, thinks that divisive polices will bring better outcomes for Maryhill.

Excited to be standing for @ReformUKScot in Glasgow Kelvin and Maryhill in May. Looking forward to turning the leafy green West End turquoise blue! 🏴🩵
