"Wow. Shame on you, Mr Mason for shouting that out. And shame on you too Mr Brown..." Labour leader @AnasSarwar calls out MSPs who say they can back justice secretary Angela Constance against the wishes of a grooming gangs victim.

Wholly unsurprising, but nevertheless significant. @DSanderson_85 of @thetimes has asked some genuine experts to look at the SNP’s energy paper, and they have rubbished its central claim that independence would reduce bills by “over one third”.

There are unacceptable weaknesses in Historic Environment Scotland’s governance arrangements. It operated for almost six months without a Chief Executive or Accountable Officer, and a substitute should have been appointed by @scotgov. My new report: bit.ly/HES_2024_25

The most powerful passage in today's excellent speech by new @ChiefMI6 Blaise Metreweli. A less delicate way of putting it - how do we influence the tech bros, when their influence is now more powerful than countries? (rest of it here, well worth a read; gov.uk/government/spe…)

In April 2024, Màiri McAllan said a just transition plan for Mossmorran would be developed. Between then and November 2025 (when the plant’s closure was announced) none of Màiri McAllan, Gillian Martin, Kate Forbes, or John Swinney attended a single meeting about the plan.

Thoughts and prayers with all the victims of the sickening attack on Bondi Beach, but particularly, again, the Jewish community. Once again, the Jewish community, on a Jewish festival, are targeted by terrorists and extremists. This is what happens when ignorance and extremism…


Cllr John Carson reposted

Horrific scenes from Bondi - where the target appears to be people enjoying the start of the Jewish festival of Hannukah and a day at the beach. This feels so close to home. My thoughts are with the people affected and their families and with my Australian family and friends.

Great energy on Buchanan Street today!

Unelected Tory Lords are still trying to block the Employment Rights Bill and voting against it in the Lords. Enough is enough. Unelected Lords shouldn’t be preventing the elected MPs in House of Commons from getting this Bill done and delivering for workers.

In 2021 John Swinney and the SNP pledged to focus on recovery from the pandemic across education. With less than 4 months left they are patting themselves on the back for incremental progress After almost two decades of hollow words on defining missions we need a new direction

Underfunding of local services cannot continue. With almost 80% of our council's revenue coming from the Scottish Government, all eyes are on the Scottish Budget. It has to be fair and realistic - and deliver the investment communities need. scotsman.com/news/politics/…
