It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

Today’s figures show real progress in our schools:

✅ Record literacy and numeracy
✅ Higher attendance
✅ More teachers, with smaller class sizes

Huge credit to pupils and staff. We will keep driving improvement for every young person in Scotland.

Howling here! Glad I’m home.

Media framing is just despicable. But yes, it is good news.

Scottish nurse wins part of her tribunal in trans doctor changing room case Sandie Peggie wins harassment claim but tribunal dismisses allegations of discrimination and victimisation

Ignore the media framing, I think this is a glimmer of good news.

Packed agenda full of excellent motions from @snpsouthlan.bsky.social

Love it, but very glad it’s not my neighbour.
Hope they have a collection box for local community charity. 💙🎄💙

Why isn't non-dom status reclassified as a benefit? Then we could start cracking down on the real big league benefit scroungers.

How’s it going in your precious England then?
Did you miss this?

New Home Office impact assessment finds that cutting skilled and social care visas will cost the UK up to £10 billion with a central estimate of -£5.4 billion.

It would be good if this got even a fraction of the coverage devoted to the endless debate about boats, flags and Turkish barber shops

A very good question. UKG can snoop on 22m bank accounts but not those who took what is basically a benefit during lockdown.

Two bigots desperately trying to turn a lose into a win!
Note, it isn’t a win.

I stand with Dr Beth Upton

Sandie Peggie: Tribunal rules that employers do not have to exclude trans people | Good Law Project One of the first cases that follows the Supreme Court’s decision on the definition of sex under the Equality Act has found that the court didn’t decide which changing room a trans person should use.

Not that you'd know it from the media coverage, which is almost entirely "Partial victory as Peggie wins on some procedural matters"

My top 5 beaches visited in 2025.
No. 2: Glencallum Bay, Isle of Bute.
Not the most attractive beach at first sight but the setting, the walk to get here and the well-placed lighthouse make this one extra special 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

New Scottish Government statistics published today show that over the last year, the number of pupils in Scotland’s schools reaching expected levels of literacy and numeracy is at the highest level on record and the poverty-related attainment gap is at a record low.

Let’s not forget that Tesco, Morrisons and B&Q returned some furlough monies.

I guess some of it has gone off shore, but you’re right there will be records of who got paid what.
I think beyond recovery means we’re not going to spend the money to take the fraudsters to account.
Mostly because it starts at the top!

I, for one, am seriously concerned that the PM has a “strong relationship” with Trump.

The media took a side, which turned out to be the losing side so are now making false headlines to cover their despicable bias.
Yes the woman won a harassment charge, but she started the harassment of colleagues first.
Big money got behind her to find Scotland Bad & Trans Bad!

I think blue tents have been proscribed in England 😉

Quite a few years ago I spent Christmas is Brussels, we had a brilliant time. 🎄🎄🎄

Scotland’s schools surging ahead of those in England in literacy and numeracy attainment For P1, P4 and P7 pupils combined, the proportion achieving the expected levels in 2024-25 is the highest to date for literacy and the equal highest for numeracy. For S3 pupils, the proportions ach…

Absolutely appalling that they claim ‘beyond recovery’. So we now have to take the hit and those who stole keep the money!

My local hospital in Scotland has had ban on visitors for two weeks now.
OH has outpatient appointment tomorrow morning, mask at the ready, and I will wait in the car. Fortunately no parking charges at Scottish hospitals 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Ah ha … just twigged that GERS is Great English Robbery Scheme!
Well it definitely feels that way to Scotland.

The media, both print and TV are powerful tools in the fight to keep Scotland in this union which is why Scotland is NOT ALLOWED to have it's own broadcasting, bias is rampant and unchallenged so the masses are fed a diet of skewed news stories to keep them compliant to the status quo.

Are we surprised? No! But still furious that Scotland’s voice is silenced in Westminster

We must #ChangeTheNarrative!

Dr Beth Upton was fully acquitted of all wrongdoing in yesterday’s Employment Tribunal decision. Yet she has been vilified by a toxic & poisonous media for months.
It must stop!

Congratulations, and solidarity, to you, Beth!
