Outstanding from @GlasgowWarriors - a young team packed with Scottish players up against a Leinster team packed with experienced top level internationals. And we pumped them! Franco Smith - what a legend 🙌

No Green politician, or Green adjacent figure, on the BBC’s flagship panel show - on the same night they won the most extraordinary by-election of my lifetime.
It was the same story last week, too.
The Greens overcame the BBC psy-op & won a majority of over 4000.

Remember that £300 saving Labour promised?
Two years later, the energy cap is actually HIGHER (£1,641) than the day Keir Starmer walked into No.10 (£1,568). Moving levies to taxes is just a shell game with our money.
We’re worse off.

Energy bills in Scotland are falling. Ofgem confirms a 7% drop in the price cap from April - automatically applied, no action needed. The UK Government delivering on its commitment to cut household costs. @energygovuk

Today in a surprising admission Anas Sarwar said something I entirely agree with, that the Westminster Bubble will always think of Westminster. Why he's spent his political life fighting for Scotland to stay in the Westminster Bubble is unclear.

Breaking: MPs hand picked by Starmer, McSweeney and Mandelson applaud Starmer over his handling of the McSweeney and Mandelson scandal
Politics UK@PolitlcsUK
🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer received a standing ovation and a 37-second applause as he entered the room to speak to Labour MPs just now
English
@MonicaLennon7 @AnasSarwar Who exactly is Anas Sarwar leading? The general purpose of Scottish Labour is to ensure Scotland is lead by Westminster's tune (where integrity is scarce)...?
English
We’ll take no lectures from SNP politicians who stay silent while their own party fails Scotland. @AnasSarwar is showing the leadership Scotland needs.
The PM must take responsibility for his decisions, which have failed the victims of sexual exploitation. Integrity matters.
English
'Scottish' Labour showing that they are truly loyal to the Labour Party non-values approach, by simultaneously presenting 2 completely opposite positions. Seems to be so that they can pick and chose their position to suit whatever narrative the media will hand them.

Sarwar: I'm calling on Starmer to resign because he's hurting me.
Nothing about women, girls, and victims. Nothing about corruption at the heart of Westminster. Nothing about appointing a man maintaining a friendship with a convicted pedophile.

Only on Thursday, Sarwar’s answer to the question of whether the PM would be in post in May began, “Yes…”

The BBC understands Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar will call for Sir Keir Starmer to resign as Prime Minister, at a press conference at 2.30pm
English
With everyone already knowing that Starmer is toast, Labour have arranged for Sarwar to try and look relevant by calling for Starmer to move along - as per the script given to him...
Paul Hutcheon@paulhutcheon
BREAK: Sarwar set to call for Starmer to quit.

In a pub in Glasgow (MacSorley’s) - they have 15 draft drink options. Only 1 of them is Scottish 🤯 (Belhaven Best). At least they have 1 I guess 🥴. There are no shortage of options! We’re the only country in the world where I’ve seen this sort of madness.

One of very few Scottish Labour politicians to show face and does so with a thread praising the “mastermind” who supported the appointment of someone maintaining a friendship with a convicted paedophile.
Disgraceful.
Gordon McKee MP@GordonMcKeeMP
Morgan McSweeney made a mistake on Mandelson, as he said, but he is not alone in that. What he is alone in is his extraordinary ability. Morgan started as a receptionist, and rose up to almost single handedly mastermind our return from the wilderness to a Labour Government.

@JohnRossBeattie @Scotlandteam It’s a valid concern but Franco Smith is doing a great job of bringing through grassroots.
As for today: Kinghorn and Horne would have been better than TJ and BW. Hiddlestone surely a better option than Ashman?!?

I’m sad about @Scotlandteam 4 of the starting backs and 3 of the forwards didn’t even learn their rugby in Scotland. I fear for our #Rugby roots. I actually fear for the game of rugby. Kick to compete, pods of three, huge huge men, structure structure. Wales struggling. Sad.
