Ed Miliband has confirmed that a vote for Anas Sarwar to be first minister is a vote for nuclear power stations in Scotland

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland already more than meets its own annual demand through renewable energy - we don’t need dangerous and dirty nuclear energy.

Labour's official party political broadcast wasn't broadcast in Scotland. Perhaps this segment would not have gone down well in Grangemouth...

DOUGLAS Ross has been slammed by the SNP after it emerged that he missed a major Holyrood vote to referee a game of football.

In the summer, Douglas Ross said homelessness was one of the biggest issues facing Scotland – but it’s clearly not as important for him

I'm pretty speechless: my local Labour candidate who last year merrily paraded Starmer's "six pledges" - which of course Labour failed to follow through on - is now standing for Holyrood next year making new "promises". Are voters really that gullible?

Perfect prose …

A guy from south of Sydney in Australia contacted me about a local poet, Thomas Weir who wrote poignant Scots poetry.

"But though I am far frae ye aw, ye aw
I hope tae be yet wi ye aw, ye aw
When my world’s wark is dune,
in the heaven abune
I’ll meet wi my friens and and aw."

FMQs: John Swinney lays into Anas Sarwar after 'elitist and snooty' attack

John Swinney furiously laid into Anas Sarwar over his promises Grangemouth would be saved from closure after the Scottish Labour leader branded his Government 'elitist and snooty'

Nailed it @ross-greer.bsky.social

A record number of people in Scotland received free NHS eye examinations in 2024/25 – including 250,749 in Grampian, with Scotland being the only nation in the UK offering universal free eye tests thanks to the SNP Government.

Starmer's latest DWP plan is to target people with mental health issues Prime minister Keir Starmer just laid into mental health in a cruel bid to cut DWP benefits and coerce disabled people into work.

The utter Fucking!! Bastards!!! (and I make no apology for the language) attacking the disabled again 😡😡

The SNP delivering for Scotland 👏

UK Energy Companies are making £3.9bn a year extra profit from your energy bills than they did in 2021.

That is nearly £200 from every single bill that is EXTRA profit.

Better Together poster from 2014 promising lower energy bills if we voted No.

Poster asking why Scottish Government can't do more to reduce power bills. The sawer is that ultimate control of generation and pricing is controlled by Westminster.

Despite generating the cheapest electricity in Europe, Scotland's electricity bills are set to rise today along with the rest of the UK. It *could* have been different if we'd realised we were being conned in 2014.

She should be in jail!
Why isn’t she?
Isn’t that the penalty for fraud these days, never mind putting folks’ lives at risk with her useless PPE?
There’s no ‘company’ to get the money from!

In Scotland our electricity costs are amongst the highest in the world. Meanwhile In 2024, Scotland generated 38.4 TWh of renewable electricity and exported 19.7 TWh to other UK nations. So, about 51.3%, just over half, of Scotland’s green electricity was exported to the rest of the UK

For receiving £122 million of govt funds for unusable PPE – at least £65 million of which went straight into your venal husband’s offshore accounts in the Isle of Man?

For being one of a small minority of corrupt grifters who saw a global pandemic as nothing more than a chance to get rich quick?

Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals.

Tory peer Michelle Mone - who today lost her legal case & must repay the govt £122m - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’.

What, Michelle? 🧵

When are we going to realise that people from foreign lands are not automatically our enemy… but the likes of Michelle Mone and her husband (and those millionaires and billionaires who are making money out of your misery and at your expense) are!
