@GerryHassan I'm not convinced your "actual Green Party" is actually a Green Party either since the environment is way, way down their list of priorities.

As people get ready to vote in the Scot Parl election please be careful of the spoiler operation which is 'Independent Green Voice'. They are listed second on the regional ballot paper in South of Scotland with the Green Party further down. IGV is a right-wing spoiler operation.

@ShippersUnbound Do you really think he's going to jeopardise a record breaking pay off and a gong by telling the truth? The NDA will be the tightest ever drafted in the UK. If only there was proof on McSweeney's phone eh?

The only question which matters in British politics tonight is this: does Oliver Robbins have the receipts? If he told a single person in No10/the private office or any minister, Starmer’s position is untenable

@BethRigby ....and the band played "Believe it if you like".

NEW: Anger in No 10 tonight - am told by a source that neither the PM nor his advisors were told, over a series of months, that Mandelson had been granted security clearance against the recommendation of UK security vetting. That suggests this information was held in foreign office and not shared. Big Qs now about the PM misleading the House. I am told the PM had been asking Qs about vetting and not been told this information while giving statements to parliament. Told this week PM had been trying to get answers about what happened since Tues night - Guardian got ahead of story. The critical point is that the minister has to have ‘knowingly misled’ the House, and clearly No 10 saying tonight the PM was not aware. I understand the PM had been intending to update the HoC as soon as No 10 had established facts, which they have been doing since Tues. So expect to see the PM come to HoC on Monday to correct the record I asked PM on March 16 whether he has misled the House when he said due process was followed. This is what he told me BETH RIGBY: On the Mandelson files, your national security adviser said the process was quote, weirdly rushed, and Mandelson was appointed before developed vetting had been complete. You told MPs in the House of Commons that due process was followed. Is there a possibility that you have misled the House when you said that? KEIR STARMER: No, and the independent adviser looked at that very question. I think on Thursday or Friday of last week, and answered it very robustly, that the process had been followed. The process wasn't strong enough. And amongst the changes that I intend to put into place is the fact that you can't announce someone until the vetting is finished. It wasn't an individual decision in the Mandelson case, that was the process. Well, you only have to look at that. in the light of the appointment, to realise that that needs to change. But on due process, the process that was there was followed, the problem was the process wasn't strong enough, but ultimately, it was my mistake and I have apologised for that and quite right to.

@TNLUK you really have to fix this nonsense it's getting beyond a joke since you "upgraded" the app.

@ChrisMusson What odds on another large donation to the SNP coffers from Sandy Adam and/or Springfield Properties? 👀

He says it's new, but it's a diluted version of a pilot scheme ended in 2022 when he was Deputy FM (£25k max investment then, £10k under planned new version). Scot Gov get a % stake in property, so it makes money when you sell if home value increases (if rules similar)

@TNLUK I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app which seems to have worked for now. You had a perfectly functional user friendly app but you've replaced it with an app from hell. You can see from your feedback and appstore reviews exactly what your customers think. Fix it fast!

@porthendry Thanks for trying that. Are you seeing this message as soon as you try to log in to your account, or is it happening when you try to access another area of your account? ^Kane

@TNLUK your new app delivers a truly horrendous user experience, I have to constantly change passwords as you keep locking me out of my account. Now you are claiming I'm not even in the UK

@TNLUK Have tried both but get the same result

@porthendry I'm sorry to see that you're having some trouble accessing your account. Are you able to try using mobile data instead of WiFi? ^Kane

@Unodancingbear @boswelltoday @NicolaSturgeon telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/03/1… She was questioned about it and said the jackets was a Christmas present from Murrell!

@boswelltoday @NicolaSturgeon I remember the day she turned up to flooding (on a Sunday somewhere in Scotland) with the TV cameras, head-to-toe in Burberry and Hunters Wellies. A never more "let them eat cake" scenario than I've seen!

The full list of brands @NicolaSturgeon’s husband – her husband, the man she shared a home with while he ran the party she led – is accused of funnelling allegedly misused party funds towards reads less like political administration and more like a ‘How to Spend it’ Sunday supplement. Start with the footwear. Handmade English shoes including from Smythson and Church shoes (owned by Prada, don’t you know) – not exactly bargain-bin trainers. Polished leather, stitched soles, heritage branding. Then the luxury accessories. Montblanc pens and leather goods from Richemont and Montblanc in particular. Fine leather from Ettinger. Notebooks, wallets, belts – the quiet uniform of the well-heeled. Jewellery and watches from Hamilton & Inches, Lalique, Jura Luxury Watches. Trinkets is too modest a word – these are heirloom-level indulgences. Champagne-and-hamper retail from Fortnum’s (dahling), luxury department store splurges at Harrods and Selfridges, aspirational comfort shopping at John Lewis. Premium spirits through The Whisky Exchange. Not a crate of supermarket lager – curated bottles, collector territory. Designer homeware and kitchenware from Conran, Le Creuset, Robert Welch Designs, Joseph Joseph et al. Cast-iron cookware in signature colours. Crystal glassware. Architectural cutlery(?). The curated dinner party aesthetic. High-end grooming and fragrance via Estée Lauder, MAC and Jo Malone. Lifestyle branding down to the last candle. Technology and appliances from Dyson, AO, Ligo Electronics. Top-end vacuums, gadgets, upgrades. Then the endless stream of interiors, fittings and upgrades – B&Q Limited, Homebase Ltd, Ironmongery Direct, Wayfair and dozens more. Renovation energy. Improvement. Enhancement. Always another box arriving. Comfort layered upon comfort for Peter (allegedly). And we are told that Nicola Sturgeon – his wife, the party leader, the First Minister, the woman who centralised control of message and machine – simply did not notice. Not the scale. Not the pattern. Not the lifestyle inflation. Not the steady hum of high-end retail flowing through the 100 square meter home of the most powerful couple in Scottish politics. If ignorance is the claim, it stretches credulity to breaking point. Because this was not happening in a distant office. It was happening at home.

@McrGreenParty @ZackPolanski She'll provide a greater service to humanity by unblocking 1 bog than she ever will as a Green Party MP

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: 🐝 Our Parliamentary Candidate for Gorton and Denton is Hannah Spencer! 🪠 Hannah the working-class plumber will unclog the hate and division of Starmer and Farage!

@TNLUK @Darkshadows74 It's shambolic, far easier and quicker scanning QR codes but you went backwards to scanning barcodes. Also where are the new games you promised when chasing the operating licence?

@Darkshadows74 Hi there. Thanks for your patience. Are you still encountering issues? ^Lou

I'm having real problems with the new @TNLUK app. They've taken £1.50 for a ticket and not issued me that ticket and now I can't log in, it's just crap.

@WingsScotland One Day Removals

Here’s a question: what WAS the last great, distinctively Scottish film? Trainspotting T2 was a brilliant movie but sequels probably shouldn’t count. When did we last make waves at Hollywood?

@ContraQuintis @Chris490360 Walkers only factories are in Aberlour and Elgin in Scotland.

@Chris490360 Ironically, you can't even get Walker's because, despite being a product of Scotland, it's probably still a product of India.

I actually like these cookies sad I will never buy them again watch til end • Eww!!!! What the actual!! 🤮🤢

I wouldn't be surprised to wake up in the morning and find out Broxi Bear has been sacked and replaced by Thelwells dog.

The window on the left is the ticket booth when Rangers fans will collect their Graz tickets. It is 10 yards from the turnstiles.

@ramsdenscash your website isn't working. Tried 3 phones and a laptop and get error messages when trying to order €'s so only option is lower instire rate.

@Record_Politics It's about a narcissistic sociopath who kills thousands of pensioners by exposing them to a lethal pathogen isn't it?

Nicola Sturgeon has revealed her ambition to write a novel when she retires from frontline politics - and joked it could feature a "murder on every page". dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…
