@coolplazas @iiwasinthee212 The Republic of Ireland has about 15 Protestants never mind Muslims. Calm down.

@iiwasinthee212 Irish nationalists will have their entire country full of muslims and still complain about the British

@scotsyounglab The week in which the only major headline was that Labour are doing a deal with Reform? I’m sure he’ll survive the whiplash.

@SkyNews @EdConwaySky I’m sure the oil and gas industry take all their logistical advice from a career politician who lied about the seniority of the only real job they ever had

@Erudite4Unity Plenty of unionists would much rather see the SNP get in than Reform. Most voting behaviour is not defined by the constitution.

A 32% constituency vote share makes the SNP highly vulnerable to tactical pro-UK voting. Ignore polls, follow the tactical voting guide and the SNP will be gone.

If this is true, the PM should’ve told Parliament at the earliest opportunity, not waited for the media to force the truth out. His failure to do that alone is surely a breach of the ministerial code.

I think this is underestimating Reform and overestimating the Tories but if the Greens only end up on 11 with their current high tide they should clear out their campaign apparatus. They simply do not know how to get their vote out.

@BethRigby If he did not know it’s because he deliberately did not ask, which is completely unacceptable for the leader of the country.

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.

A completely unsustainable claim.

I don't post on here anymore but it's disappointing a Labour MSP has suggested I am a liar for reporting what his party strategists have told me. It is a fact, simple arithmetic, that Anas Sarwar cannot be first minister without unionist parties, including Reform making it so.

@ScottishLabour Who is advising you? Sarwar is not popular. He’s spent two days embroiled in a row about cosying up to Reform. Amplify Labour, not Sarwar. This is such poor communication.

To put community safety first, vote for a Scottish Labour government on May 7. Only one party can beat the SNP and deliver change. scottishlabour.org.uk/manifesto-2026…

For 20 years, the SNP has failed to get the basics right - including keeping our communities safe. This is why we need change. scottishlabour.org.uk/manifesto-2026…
