For future reference folks, this was the Glasgow Christmas lights switch on ceremony in George Square tonight.
13,000 tickets were sold.
Just in case you ever find yourself debating crowd sizes 😉
Tomorrow’s @Sunday_Mail: Scottish Greens in cash for access scandal. They’ve been offering access to parliamentarians - including ministers while in Government - in exchange for payment.
@davidaak1991 @StewartNial@LizHiggins19@Dougmcg1 And the majority of Scots have the right to call them out for disrespecting what the majority of Scots want and keep voting for.
Then laughing as the UK govt points out that the SG has absolutely no legal power in this area anyway.
@davidaak1991 @StewartNial@LizHiggins19@Dougmcg1 Did a majority or a minority of Scots vote pro-Indy or pro-UK!
It really is that simple if you have any respect whatsoever for democracy or for what the Scottish people actually want.
Just three in ten voters feel favourably towards under-fire John Swinney and most Scots believe the SNP Government is not performing well in 13 key areas, poll reveals

@InScotlandGaia@ScotEqualiser So you’re complaining about things you’ve imagined.
Thank god the majority of Scots can see you for the ignorant bitter bigots you are.
Shona Robison is asked by @murdo_fraser about her claim that independence would have delivered higher public spending in Scotland.
Robison gives an improvised answer (usually she reads from a script) which is a torrent of nonsense, having nothing to do with the question.
If Scotland is ever on the cusp of independence, GERS figures like today’s would see grown up nationalists accepting austerity is inevitable, and explaining why painful sacrifices will be worth it. Nobody did this today, because they know support is too fragile to bear the truth.
Calamitous FMQs for John Swinney. Immediately after his extraordinary decision to back Michael Matheson, he repeats the thoroughly debunked claim that 100% of electricity consumption in Scotland is from renewable sources. This is unambiguously false.
1/ John Swinney’s integrity.🧵
TLDR: Swinney fails to address a false statement to parliament until it’s too late to correct the Official Report.
On 23rd May 2024, Swinney repeated the false claim that 100% of Scotland’s electricity consumption comes from renewable sources.
@jamegore I know, I can’t believe 700,000 of them were still thick enough to vote for a bunch of corrupt incompetent nationalist grifters that have been conning their own supporters for 17 years.
@steven_mctavish@ruth_wishart The minute you use the phrase “butchers apron” you lose any credibility. Just a hate filled bigot whose opinions are less than worthless.
