John Swinney handing Labour Sarwar his backside on a plate is becoming a ritual now at FMQ's. (MSM Monitor) youtu.be/ICn-Jn5WdjA

Stephen Fry: “I’m deeply worried by the darkening shadow that’s going over the world, a shadow that we have to call fascism” Laura Kuenssberg: “You would use that word?” Stephen Fry: “Oh absolutely. It’s a cult of power; and power only speaks to power” #bbclaurak

Fascinating read. As more comes out, I find it pretty convincing.

BREAKING NEWS: the SNP WIN the Kilmarnock North by-election. Well done to Cllr Caroline Barton and her team. Perfect start to the Scottish Labour Conference.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 We’re investing £25 million in a Just Transition Fund to create a sustainable future for Grangemouth. The Labour UK Government must now step up and match this. 👇

🧵 When I said my government would leave no stone unturned to find the solutions to secure Grangemouth’s future, I meant it. I’ve just set out some measures to Parliament seeking to protect workers and secure Grangemouth’s future. Here’s a thread 👇 1/8

The intrepid #WASPI women on West Lothian met with @labouruk.bsky.social MP @gregorpoynton.bsky.social last week. Here's a snapshot of some of the Women's comments about the visit. Safe to say they were not impressed by him!

The SNP will ride to victory once again thanks to Labour betraying Grangemouth. Starmer is allowing an icon of Scottish industry to die and his party will pay for that at the next Holyrood elections Bring on Indy My column in @heraldscotland.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

We will be our own big powerhouse!

The SNP looks set to be the biggest party in Holyrood after the next election, with support for Scottish Labour having “imploded,” according to a poll commissioned by The Herald. Anas Sarwar’s party list vote is now at its lowest level in three years. www.heraldscotland.com/news/2490169...

Grim new low for Labour under Starmer. -48% approval rating. Polling @YouGov graphic @LeftieStats

What a pathetic and childish insult to SNP MP Stephen Flynn and the WASPI Women as he presents his WASPI Bill in Westminster. They mock and laugh as someone shouts out "Freedom".

Agree

Here are the Red Tories in Scotland who seem happy to: 1. End the winter fuel payment 2. Keep the 2-child-cap 3. Pick up a £91,346 salary + expenses.

Labour stood up for WASPI women - right until they got into government. Now they’re nowhere to be seen. The SNP have supported these women throughout, and that’s why we’ve put a Bill before Westminster calling for them to be compensated for this historic injustice.

Aaand Labour MPs just swerved a vote on compensation for the WASPI Women 👀 Here's what this whole issue is about...

Well done Stephen Flynn Such a pity that the 2 @labouruk.bsky.social MPs for West Lothian chose to abstain, despite publicly voicing support for #WASPI women.

This is the act of a bully who is knowingly placing a very brave woman in danger.

If she can do it, we can all do it.
