An abject and utter failure. Those fooled by her should be ashamed and then ridiculed. Scotland shall never forget.
Despite billions in government spending, key divides have actually widened 👇

So do the SNP support moving standing charges into the unit price - or not?

Please stop WHATEVER you are doing and take one minute to digest the single greatest moment of white savior petard hoisting ever witnessed during Black History Month. The pay off is commensurate of a Scottish civil service cover up NDA cheque.

Lara Bird should be mortified. Even Peter Andre managed to enter Jordan.

The SNP’s dilemma is this. You can’t win independence until you are clear about currency, pensions and mortgages. And the clearer you are the less people are interested. There are 750,000 households in Scotland with outstanding mortgages. That is a lot of voters.

Replying to @ScotNational
This is absolutely humiliating. You are waving around a fake “souvenir voucher” [10:44] printed with a unicorn and pretending you are answering the “unanswered questions” on currency😂 While The National plays make-believe with novelty notes they casually admit look like “monopoly money” [13:50], the actual Laurentjoye currency report from that exact same conference has been hidden for “several months” by Tim Rideout because it completely shredded the unbacked currency plan and admitted it would trigger instant capital flight to NatWest. Stop playing with novelty coffee vouchers and face the macroeconomic reality that an independent Scotland has no credible currency plan. Idiots 😂

At least sturgeon published the growth commission report before trying to rewrite it live on air. RIdeout is doing his own McCrone and trying to bury something he’s already leaked out!
What a farce. As it slowly dawns on Tim Rideout that Laurentjoye has shredded his own cherished currency plan, he is now going to spend several months trying to get the report changed… (he originally promised to publish the Laurentjoye report at 10am on Saturday).

Tax cuts! If cutting tax is so good, why don’t the SNP do it when they have the powers at Holyrood? Hypocrites, much?

An intelligent discussion on any subject would intrinsically exclude Neil Mackay.
Neil Mackay screaching about having an “intelligent discussion about mummies in museums” while positing that Kelvingrove display the newly dead body of Murdo Fraser without his consent Come on now. Is this really what passes as journalism in Scotland?

Tim Rideout’s conference gets its first coverage outside the pages of The National. He’ll be wishing it hadn’t after reading this…

Scots living in the most deprived parts of the country are five times more likely to die from alcohol abuse than those staying in the richest, new NRS figures show. The overall number of deaths from alcohol dropped by three per cent last year.

Broughty Ferry deserves so much better.
Today I was denied entry into the West Bank, alongside other parliamentary colleagues from across Europe as part of a @ProgIntl delegation. We were held for 8 hours, interrogated and ultimately prevented from crossing the border. I came to stand alongside Palestinians being attacked for harvesting olives on their own land. Instead, we were turned away, with no reason given. More than ever, Palestinians are being subject to terror and violence by the IDF and illegal settlers. Increased blockades, demolitions and unthinkable violence have become the norm for Palestinians in the West Bank. It is more important now than ever that we bear witness and show our solidarity. But we were prevented from doing so. I will continue to do everything I can to apply pressure on the Netanyahu government, and those responsible for the persecution and genocide of the Palestinian people.

When I died my handmaidens and servants were all sent into my tomb which was then locked so they could die inside with me, not our proudest moment tbh Kinda like Nicola Sturgeons government did with care home residents during Covid though

The Scottish Currency Group’s new report is an absolute embarrassment. Beyond admitting a new currency will devalue pensions, it officially expects England and Wales to continue paying for Scottish grid costs and CfD energy subsidies. If this is their flagship economic blueprint, then their movement is bankrupt of both cash and ideas.

How do I apply for a global talent visa @QManivannan ? I hear you're the them to ask Going by your approach it appears all I need to do is be very rude to Scots about their established women's rights and add some fiscal illiteracy and I'm a shoe in? Thanks in advance

Holyrood needs changing. This crank shouldn't be anywhere near the place.
🚨 So 2,300 🤡🤡 are responsible for 5 extra extremist fanatics at Holyrood, trousering £2 MILLION of public money over 5 years. Money these bams could only dream of earning. Dangerous ideologues as legislators. That SHOULD keep Scotland awake at night! 🤬

this is huge - who would vote for independence knowing it would result in all of your cash at bank being forcibly converted into a new Scottish currency and strict capital controls being enforced which would prevent you from moving money out of the country?
Tim Rideout always insisted a new currency could be established with conversion of deposits purely voluntary. But Laurentjoye’s report kills that idea (it always was mad). Deposits convert automatically “without the consent of each customer”. Good luck selling that to voters…
