5 men and a boy. The state of him. To think he has controlled much of what happened in Holyrood the past 5 years. 😢😢

@PaulDiMasci0 @NiallFraser8 Neil isnt very bright, neil is a cult memeber, belive in independence all you like (i don’t) but when the gates of the inner circle or the innner inner circle open people like Neil will keep going in, like a fly to a pitcher plant… morals duty values, irrelevant
English
My local MSP, doubling down, backing Tracy Carragher like 2023, who ignored & tormented victim of sexual assault & protected Jordan Linden, victim suspended. Those who stood up for him were expelled, including myself or suspended. Neil put career over survivor whom knew! Shameful

@DarrensBestShot @nats_tired I see gettinf blocked as a badge of honour. I got blocked by an MSP id never even directly engaged with - what a hero 🤦♂️

@scottishgreens Great for central belt townies, but rural areas rely on your nemisis and the worst of your nemeses the 4x4…. Public transport needs mass to work, where there is no mass the car is essential.
English
Transport is a huge daily cost for people and Scotland's biggest source of emissions. It doesn't have to be this way.
One card, one tap, one journey - across all of Scotland’s buses, trains, trams, subway and ferries.
That's how public transport should work in Scotland.
The National@ScotNational
Scotland’s transport system is messy, fragmented, and leaves many people with limited choices, making our lives harder and more expensive. Scotland deserves better than that, writes Patrick Harvie ✍️

@scottishgreens Focus on where dental care is vital like for children ensuring its the best it can be. Confiscating private dental practices wont improve access, reducing income tax might however keep more dentists from retiring, but tax reduction is an alien concept to you lot.
English
Too many of us are either living in pain or opting to pay for dental care that is supposed to be free.
It's time to demand better.
Scottish Greens will scrap dental charges and begin work to bring private surgeries back into public hands. #VoteScottishGreens

@JohnSwinney @theSNP You literally pay people to be poor, and over tax those that do graft. Blaming Westminster for energy and food prices going up is beyond ridiculous. Your selling a lie.
English
I’m fed up with the Westminster system that means hard work delivers less and less, while people’s energy and food costs just keep going up.
The fresh start of independence would mean we can use Scotland’s resources to benefit Scotland’s people.
#BothVotesSNP on May 7th. 🏴

“Too many people are getting a raw deal. Too many people are struggling to feed their family, heat their homes and keep their children out of poverty.

@AgentP22 @CoralieAnn There needs to be some restrictions on how many terms a list msp can sit. I know maggie chapman has only done one term, but that lot will sit there in perpetuity. While i would never vote green their NE candidate at least had lived in the real word

@durbs75 @RDPHistory Last place I watched it was at the cinema on MPA. A brilliant movie!
English
@RDPHistory Ian Richardson played him very well in An Ungentlemanly Act. Not sure where you can watch it these days but it’s an excellent drama - I’ve got a copy on dvd.

April 2nd 1982: Rex Hunt is last to leave, and is hounded by Argentine head of police Major Patricio Dowling, who even steals his medals, but he gets changed into full uniform, gives Dowling the slip and leaves in his own private Taxi to tearful farewells from Islanders...

You can’t have that much faith in your message Gillian, if you’re not even standing for a Constituency seat yourself. In fact, you’re so underwhelming your party’s only standing in 6 and neither leader is going for a constituency..
Gillian Mackay - Scottish Greens@Gillian_Mackay1
In every community across Scotland, there are people who are planning to vote @scottishgreens for the very first time. That is why we stand on the verge of what could be a historic result and a major breakthrough for our movement!

@WullieHalliday @RangersBear55 @No_Bikers @Gillian_Mackay1 A quick AI search confims it was formally propsed in Nov 1995 in its near final form, but if you want to split hairs then fine. The devolution settlement had nothing to do with England. It was legislated for by Westminster, which isnt an english parliament.
English
@tomintoultory @RangersBear55 @No_Bikers @Gillian_Mackay1 Factually incorrect, the proposal was for an AMS system, the precise nature was only formulated during the legislation period after the 1997 referendum. the devolution settlement was 100% dictated to Scotland by England.
English
The Scottish Greens have pledged 'free' bus travel for everyone in Scotland as they launched their election campaign in Edinburgh.
The total Govt outlay would be anywhere from £800m-£1.2bn annually. Where does that money come from @Gillian_Mackay1 ??
English
@WullieHalliday @RangersBear55 @No_Bikers @Gillian_Mackay1 The election system wasnt imposed it was proposed prior to the referendum on devolution and voted on by the people of scotland. So less of the victimhood. I was too young to vote in thay referendum but i would have voted no. I dont want any msps yoon or loonies
English
@tomintoultory @RangersBear55 @No_Bikers @Gillian_Mackay1 Wait till you find out they have Greens in Englandshire. The greens are getting representation because of the election system imposed by England on Scotland, if it were a FPTP system you unionists would have three MSPs.

@JohnStuartWilso Recall parliament for a war, anything else is just reactive hysterics. I wouldnt recall holyrood for anything, or call for it to meet ever again for that matter….
English
Why aren't we recalling Holyrood to discuss the fact that we are heading into Easter weekend with a quarter of the ferry fleet inoperable?
The National@ScotNational
NEW: Westminster must be recalled to force the Labour UK Government to provide 'real' support for households and businesses in the face of an energy crisis, John Swinney is set to say
English
@Fyrishsunset Before Maggie Chapman was invented, I dont recall much in the way of protests (albeit going back to being a kid in the 90s). There may have been the occasional bible basher outside M&S, but inspite of being a university town no tenuous protests on fringe and bedwetty issues. 🤷♂️
English
Maggie Chapman: regularly found making a pest of herself in Aberdeen city centre with her flag-waving cohorts.
They bawl their heads off and get in everyone’s way, but no one pays them attention beyond exasperated bemusement.
Agent P@AgentP22
Palestine Flag ✅ Trans Rights Posters ✅ Progress Pride Flag ✅ I Welcome Refugees Leaflets ✅ Pride Necktie ✅ End Greyhound Racing Leaflets ✅ Maggie Chapman’s office looks like a student protest stall. Plenty of flags, zero focus on Scotland. She's a disgrace.
English
Normally, I thought, the party leader visits a constituency to help promote the candidate. The candidate being the point of the exercise. But the SNP, it seems, have turned that on its head & have the candidate in breathless fan mode actually interviewing the visiting VIP. Wtf?

There's creepy amateur, and then there's SNP creepy amateur 😳

@1edmountain Shame your not standing again Ed, Ben Wyvis would look awsome painted up “vote Mountain”
English
OMG the lack of awareness of this minister is breathtaking. Or maybe she is happy to be seen as: over budget, delayed and not working. I suppose it is an accurate description of her government.
English
@ziggy6769 @nats_tired Call me a cynic, but i suspect “no further action will be taken…” its a pity the messages wernt recoverable cos theres bound to be some gritty exchanges…. Perhaps they expose her as using covid to further independence,……..🤷♂️
English
Police file on N. Sturgeons deleted Covid WhatsApp messages passed on to the crown office. Evidence gathered into claims Sturgeon and others perverted the course of justice.
Now do we think the crown office will act on this and charge N.Sturgeon. I doubt it due to the political interference within our judiciary. But we will wait and see over to you the crown office.

@Fyrishsunset It used to be so much simpler when it was quiche quinioa and “microagressions”, now hemp satchels at dawn. While im sure this fella is still motivated by weirdness at least hes held down a job in the real world - maybe thats what they were worried about. 🤷♂️

Seems those who yammer incessantly about fairness, respect and a better Scotland aren’t all they seem.
Well, imagine my surprise …

It is with great sadness that I must confirm that I will no longer be the Scottish Green Party’s lead candidate in the North East Scotland region. Please see my full statement below.

@Political_AlanS @Ross_Greer A policy by urban lentil lobbers for urban lentil lobbers.

The Scottish Greens want to introduce a ‘tap on tap off’ integrated ticketing system for trains, buses and ferries
Daily fares would also be capped
Co-leader Gillian Mackay says it’d be paid for by ditching road building projects including the dualling of the A9 and A96
