wee dribble

@AndrewBowie_MP The Tories were complicit in the demise of Grangemouth as well as orchestrating the 600m loan to Radcliffe to move Brussels! Never trust a Tory

With the Aberdeen South By Election just weeks away. With the Oil and Gas industry in crisis. With Scottish workers losing their jobs. With the world focussed on the energy emergency. John Swinney ditches ‘energy’ as a portfolio in his Government. What on earth?!

@AndrewBowie_MP Previous Tory government assisted with the demise of Grangemouth and brokered the 600m deal for Ineos to transfer to Antwerp. This is Westminster uni-party gaslighting while Scotland is deindustrialised. Two faces of the same coin.

🥀 Whipping Labour MPs to shut down our oil and gas industry at the same time as relieving sanctions on Russian oil (for however brief a period) is shameful and unforgivable. 🥀 Our own oil and gas workers and the international community will be staggered at this madness.

@ScotTories @DLumsden_MSP There’s a reason you never trust a Tory.

Why are Labour importing oil and gas from Russia instead of backing our plans to Get Britain Drilling? In the Aberdeen South by-election, @DLumsden_MSP and the Scottish Conservatives will be fighting to back domestic energy production and protect North East jobs.

@Malcolm_Offord Just another Westminster planter who has sold out and would be detrimental to Scotland.

Jo is a former NHS nurse and midwife, a mother of two, and a health and wellness entrepreneur, who has had enough of Scotland’s needless decline and is standing up and being counted. She is the champion that Aberdeen South so desperately deserves!

@HarrietCross_MP @bbclaurak @Conservatives The Tories have demonstrated over decades that they will say anything to get into power (remember Better Together, oil will run out, Scotland is poor) and once in that position they will fleece everything they can and blame everyone else. Never trust a Tory!

💪Kemi on @bbclaurak just now, making sure the country knows it’s not just Makerfield with a by-election! 🚨And she’s right - @Conservatives are fighting every second to win the Aberdeen South by-election, to send a message to Labour that they must support the oil & gas sector.

@PeterStefanovi2 @joncraig The Prince of Darkness apprentice, would be the worst sequel ever.

BREAKING: “We need a proper contest with the best candidates on the field, and I will be standing." Wes Streeting tells Sky's @joncraig that he will stand in any Labour leadership contest to replace Keir Starmer

@theSNP Name the apprentice of “The Prince of Darkness”?

If Wes Streeting is the answer...what is the question?

@mgshanks The Labour inner circle, the prince of darkness, Harriet Harman and Gordon Brown! The public sees what Labour are about while promising the electorate everything and delivering nothing.

The voters are never wrong. Good to be out in my constituency again with local Cllr Margaret Cowie talking to residents about their issues and about politics - not just at election time. Election defeats are a moment to listen to what the country is telling us.

@RealStephenKerr A system designed and implemented by Westminster to prevent a national party majority and now unionist upset as its not working. Should immediately limit career losers to a maximum of two list positions until a system that suits Scottish needs is implemented.

The voting system for Scottish Parliamentary Elections needs review. Parties from across the political spectrum have tried to mis-use the system by encouraging voters to tactically vote one party on the first ballot and for another on the second- essentially doubling the voting power of a smaller group of voters. The Scottish Greens are the biggest winners from this- standing aside in all but 6 constituencies to allow the SNP to win, while standing full slates on the list. The result? The SNP's list vote was 11% lower than their constiteuncy, the Green's list was 12% higher than their constituency. I'll leave you to figure out what happened! Perhaps a change could be that in order for a candidate to appear on the list, they would need to stand in a constituency.

@ThomasKerrMSP @ReformUKScot @reformparty_uk @Malcolm_Offord The result of a Westminster imposed voting system, you end up with third rate people in government who no one voted for.

Reform MSPs are heading to Holyrood to shake the place up 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 And trust me, this is just the beginning folks. Join us ➡️ reformparty.uk/join

@Keir_Starmer @HarrietHarman The prince of Darkness and now Harriet Harman who worked for an association (NCCL) with PIE (Paedophile Information Exchange) as an affiliate in the 70’s/80’s. Starmer is a great judge of character!

I’m delighted to appoint @HarrietHarman as my Adviser on Women and Girls. Harriet is a strong advocate for women and girls and I know she will deliver greater opportunity for women in public life. I’m committed to tackling structural misogyny that is a barrier for too many women and girls. I look forward to working with Harriet to drive forward action on this important issue.

@Clyde1News Every unionist leader only gets in to HR via list process. Scotland needs to get rid of this process implemented by Westminster, nothing more than a scam to impede independence.

📣 Malcolm Offord has been elected a West Scotland regional list MSP 📹 He was the only party leader left standing to hear the results at Braehead Arena…

@80_mcswan Biggest benefit scroungers in Scotland!

Murdo Fraser has lost his 7th consecutive election Yet will still hold his seat in Holyrood Scotland deserves better than serial loosers

@murdo_fraser Westminster installed a voting system with the intention of never allowing a national majority but unionist still manage to cry at every opportunity.

Vote Reform, get SNP

@ReformUKScot Who would have thought it was the Home Office in Westminster who are responsible for allocating asylum seekers as it is a reserved policy.

Glasgow is at breaking point ‼️ It’s the asylum capital of the UK. Scotland, it’s time for change 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Both Votes ➡️ Reform

@KemiBadenoch Russell Findlay backed Truss and now backs Badenock so he is a great judge of character. Westminster uni-party has been pilfering Scotlands resources for decades while steadily deindustrialising piece by piece. London based parties do not benefit Scotland.

Another independence referendum is the last thing this country needs. So, to stop the SNP majority, vote Conservative on Thursday on your peach ballot paper. Let’s get Scotland working again 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

@Duncan_Aberdeen BP were fundamental in pushing “Net Zero” as well as coining phrases like “Carbon Footprint” in the early 2000’s and the majority of these regulations were self inflicted by these large corporations.

Exactly this 👇 - The SNP cheered on a 78% rate of tax - The SNP were the first to announce a presumption against new oil & gas - The SNP still won’t back new projects like Jackdaw & Rosebank - The SNP piled on new NetZero regulations & costs to plants like Grangemouth Then they act all shocked when companies leave or plants get shut down. They need to go.

@Malcolm_Offord A grifter grifting, decades of Westminster austerity while pilfering the public purse for their own benefit while blaming everyone else and hope people have short memories. These people want nothing good for Scotland.

The rising cost of living is on everyone’s minds. But gimmicky freebies and price caps just won’t cut it. What people really need is more money, to spend how they think best. Which is why I want to lower all Scottish income taxes below England’s, giving Scots a pay-rise by allowing them to keep more of what they earn. That means an extra £735 per year for a Police Constable with five years of experience, or over £2,000 for one with ten. It means an extra £2,200 for a resident doctor with five years of experience, or over £5,000 for a GP or a hospital consultant. It means an extra £2,000 for a teacher with five years of experience, and over £1,900 for an experienced senior nurse. And so on throughout the whole of Scotland’s economy, rewarding people for working hard and gaining experience, and encouraging those with valuable experience in our public services not to retire early or cut back their hours. You can see the impact for yourself here: reformuk.scot/tax-calculator/ But it will NOT benefit me. I will be donating my entire MSP salary to the Badenoch Trust, in support of young Scots.

@HigginsKieron @ScottishLabour Like the NHS, Labour’s idea of fixing things is to privatise by the back door.

The CEO of Scottish water shouldn’t be getting six figure bonuses while people face inflation busting bill increases. So @ScottishLabour will stop both.

@LizzieLabour @ScottishLabour And yet “Scottish Labour” had received around 200k from companies & think tanks that want the NHS privatised as well as wanting to alllow our data to be owned by US companies and stored in the US.

I see - and experience - every day the pressure the NHS is under. I talk to the patients who have gone private because they couldn’t wait any longer. Vote for @ScottishLabour and let’s get our NHS back - free for all at the point of need
