A simple case again, of the British/English government trampling over Scottish interests to feed the greed of English business & voter base. This in case you may have forgotten is that much vamped #BetterTogether you voted for in 2014. What will it take for our citizens to wake up to this thieving.

Pretty disturbed by some of the Kremlin framing on the Trump talks being bought by parts of the media worldwide. It’s as if the genesis of the war is entirely forgotten. This isn’t a conflict which needs mediation. It was an unprovoked act of aggression. It could end tomorrow if Putin just withdrew.

Sarwar & Starmer's nuclear love-in. What's it all about? Scotland going for new nuclear is like geothermal/hydro-powered Iceland going for gas. It makes no sense at all. Our destiny is to develop clean green baseload energy like tidal for ourselves & the world www.thenational.scot/politics/249...

I'm bewildered by the timing of this. Can't say it's entirely unexpected after the last month or two but just after a transfer window and the day before a game?! I feel for PW, genuinely like the guy and wish him the best going forward but I hope #dcfc have a pretty good short term plan #dcfcfans

Really struck today by how many of the people most responsible for the Brexit shitshow were actively rewarded for their stupidity/dishonesty. Knighthoods, Damehoods, peerages, newspaper columns, seats in the House of Commons… It’s a mark of how deep the rot has gone into the fabric of our society.

They really, really need to pin this on Farage. When you think of the 'big beasts' of Brexit bollocks, there's not really anyone else left in the game so it should be quite easy.

Reducing 'regulation' to increase 'growth' while reducing immigration & bolstering workers' rights & ruling out any return to the single market/customs union is such a mad project that I'm tempted to take the Reeves speech live this morning...

What once would be a huge story in Scotland now just goes by unnoticed.

Minimum Income Requirements leave families ripped apart, often with huge impacts on children. It makes falling in love and having a family a "pay to play" system, and causes so much harm. They are an unjust "tax on love" and devastate lives. MIR needs to be scrapped. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

For people saying ‘the Constitution enshrines birthright citizenship’ I’d gently point out that the 🇬🇧 govt deported people who had been legally resident for decades for the offence of being black and poor.

Westminster ignores and overrules the Scottish Parliament. When Westminster legislates on areas Scottish Parliament is responsible for, and Scotland withholds consent, Westminster just ignores it. When the Scottish Parliament passes bills Westminster doesn’t like, it veto’s them. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿|🇪🇺 #YesScots

No mention of the 50,000 kids helped by the policy by 2029. I wrote an article on mitigating the UK child cap for The National in Scotland today. I would love people to compare and contrast!

Just to be clear, I haven’t left the Observer. I’m still under contract with the Guardian. It’s signed a deal to sell the Observer brand. Separately, it’s written to a bunch of writers & critics telling us it’s cancelling our contracts in ‘the spring’.
