To celebrate @taylorswift13 coming to Edinburgh AND the next UKGE here are some Taylor-related voting/polling facts @psaepop @scotvoting

There will be more people at a single Edinburgh Taylor concert than voted @scottishgreens in the last 3 UKGEs

Tomorrow, a woman in England will be sentenced for ending her own pregnancy.

The maximum sentence she could receive is up to life imprisonment - the harshest penalty in the world.

We need abortion law reform now.

Report from @HannahAlOthman in today’s @thetimes

@lucy___miller @Davidwilson1293 Exactly a month if I’m not mistaken? 5th May was when it was first reported???

[Elspeth Nicholson @ElspethJWN]

@Davidwilson1293 @lucy___miller Hahahaha omg

[Elspeth Nicholson @ElspethJWN]

@lucy___miller @Davidwilson1293 Speaking the truth Lucy

[Elspeth Nicholson @ElspethJWN]

@Davidwilson1293 Is it true though?

[Elspeth Nicholson @ElspethJWN]

As another graveyard-loving-Elspeth, I'm very excited about the fact this is edited by someone also called Elspeth 🪦

Ain't she a beauty. 🥲

We are still basking in the glow of last Friday's book launch. A huge thank you to our community for coming out and supporting us.

Need a copy? @greyfriars_kirk has you covered. (Or ask us nicely if you're local.) Further afield? We're working on it!

It is not the purpose of BBS to weigh in on constitutional matters but I do aim to improve understanding of Scottish Politics. David Frost, in suggesting that because there is a (slender) majority against Independence, devolution should be rolled back shows lack of understanding.

[Elspeth Nicholson @ElspethJWN]

He also conveniently forgets to mention Northern Ireland entirelyyyy. Which is notable because the devolved institutions in Northern Ireland are absolutely essential to the peace process.

[Elspeth Nicholson @ElspethJWN]

Does David Frost remember we held referendums to assess the public's support for devolved institutions? It's antidemocratic to call for the rolling back of devolution just because you don't like the governments elected to run those devolved institutions.

[David Frost @DavidGHFrost]

My @Telegraph column tonight.

The SNP’s implosion is a chance to put failing devolution into reverse.

"In its misgovernment and its control-freakery, the SNP has sown the wind and, let us hope, will now reap the political whirlwind."

Disclaimer: Me and my partner have an EV so I am biased, but I think the point still stands.

[Elspeth Nicholson @ElspethJWN]

This will make it more expensive for people in tenements with on street parking (who are reliant on public charging infrastructure) to have an electric car vs a petrol equivalent. By making this decision, @Edinburgh_CC are actively discouraging people from switching to EVs.

[Dr Scott Arthur MP (Edinburgh South West) 🌍🌈🌹 @DrScottArthurMP]

The Council in Edinburgh subsidising EV charging is about to end. 👍

[Elspeth Nicholson @ElspethJWN]

This seems totally counter-intuitive both to overall net zero goals, and also for a city actively trying to improve air quality by introducing an LEZ. Not everyone who owns, or wants to own, an EV lives in a suburb with a private charger and a cheap electricity tariff.
