I try and avoid personal attacks so I’ll stick to facts… 1. Starmer and Sarwar are liars, spineless and bereft of emotional intelligence. 2. The 🔴 Tory Party and 🔵 Tory party attack Scotlands Culture, economy and infrastructure. 3. There is no such thing as Scottish Labour. 4. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 needs independence

We’re tackling NHS waiting times, investing to protect Grangemouth and ensuring our teachers and nurses are the best paid in the UK. Week in, week out - I’m focused on your SNP government delivering progress for Scotland.

NEW: Union bosses have had 'zero contact' with Anas Sarwar over Grangemouth

There's been (inexplicably, IMO) some debate over the source of Reform UK's growth in Scotland (e.g. a few unionists claim that the flow to them is from the SNP). Looking at the latest polling, that very clearly isn't the case. The story is the total fragmentation of Scottish Labour's vote:

Instead of a spurious so-called “Fair Isle” slipover from the corporate shower that is House of Bruar, get a genuine piece of #Shetland knitwear, made by a Shetlander, from Jamiesons in Lerwick. And much cheaper too.

I've now looked at the polling data from that recent #Norstat poll which showed a slender Yes lead. As usual, the published figures hide some strange sampling anomalies. I've done my usual reweighting based on current demographics, which shows a Yes lead of 5pts (6 without DK) Short thread 1/5

Two years ago, Labour opposed the Internal Market Act - which is nothing short of an undemocratic power grab from Westminster. Today, Labour have just voted together with the Tories against protecting the powers of our Parliament. Only the SNP will stand up for Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Wondering why Labour are being so nasty towards Scotland all of a sudden? That'll be because they have finally had a chance to see that polling that Michael Gove hid from Scots, despite the courts ordering them to publish it. And Labour will keep it hidden, permanent Better Together? Don't think so

It's the first stage to have BRITISH whisky. Already, Scotch is 25% of ALL UK Food and Drink Exports. If we had a Free Trade Agreement with India it would be 50%. UK couldn't have that. Wake up, Scotland.
