Another broken promise by the now part time SNP MSP Nicola Sturgeon as she looks to her future and book launch. What is her legacy to women and children? @sundaypost.com

Monster Pylons up to 230 ft tall and sprawling substations are environmental vandalism. This cannot be the vision of the SNP’s so called β€˜just’ transition πŸ‘‡πŸ₯Ί

I’m thrilled to have been selected as the Scottish Conservative candidate for Angus North and Mearns for the 2026 Scottish Parliament election.

With a year to go, I’m determined to make every day count.

We need common sense, for a change πŸ΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ ΏπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ’ͺ

The Scottish Parliament has acted swiftly in response to the Supreme Court ruling, ensuring it is fully compliant with the law.

John Swinney can’t keep dragging his heels. He must instruct all public bodies to uphold the law immediately and stop pandering to gender extremists.

Today on #VEDay80 we honour the sacrifice and bravery of every single hero who fought for our freedom. Today I especially remember my uncle who fought on the Normandy beaches. Only now I truly appreciate what he and all the courageous heros did for us. We will never forget them.

Tory MSP @tesswhitemsp.bsky.social says the SNP is trying to "ride two horses" on single-sex spaces.

"Will this SNP government protect single-sex spaces for biological women in Scotland's public services? Yes or no?"

Tory MSP @tesswhitemsp.bsky.social: "Women are being placed in harm's way both physically and psychologically in Scottish prisons, rape crisis centres, toilets and changing rooms."
