With this Sturgeon volunteers her own negligence, incompetence and wilful ignorance... all in order to dissuade further inquiry into her conduct & prevent further damage to her 'reputation'.
She is betting it all on UK media not digging, questioning & the public/SNP not caring.
An unplanned Friday night thread touching on how Scot Gov lost all sense of perspective during Covid, the 'great communicator' myth, and how it abused its power and caused unnecessary misery by deliberately misleading the public. Happy weekend, everyone
No cookie for the Scottish government: 'universal' implementation for Scotland richest age group.
Three-quarters of Scotland’s wealthiest households are headed by someone aged 55 or over.
This isn't benevolent social reform. This is an attempt at buying off Tory voters.
BREAKING: The Scottish Government is to introduce a universal pension age winter heating payment
This will be implemented in 2025/26 for 'every single Scottish pensioner'
💥Operation Branchform probing receipts for a media suite allegedly in the name of a non-existent company.

The entire SNP leadership has just completely disappeared.
Gone to ground - and I don't think it's a tactic. They don't know what to say because they don't think anything.
There is no nationalist theory of the crisis the party faces, because there is no nationalist theory.
The Iñupiat of Alaska traditionally use a base-20 number system. In 1994, students at Kaktovik middle school worked with their teacher to invent a way to write this, since they found our base-10 unfamiliar. After the invention of Kaktovik numerals, test scores rose significantly
Not gonna mention about how ScotGov wants to 'compensate' the land owners with taxpayer £££ for the 'inconvenience' of breaking up huge estates, naw?
Jeezo.
