How does the SNP approach a Labour PM who appears to agree with it? A few thoughts on the opportunities that Burnham's "circuit breaker" presents my party with.
Great feature on this year's Kirkcudbright Fringe in this week's Galloway News. Highlights lots of attractions & big sellers including the Skids, Mhairi Black, Len Pennie & ex-NATO head George Robertson. Tickets for all these & more selling fast. Details: https://t.co/SidYtadlf6
Congratulations to Kenny Gibson on his election to @ScotParl Presiding Officer. Spoke to him last night at the Kirking and was well impressed with his energy, passion and vision for the role.
He is also incidentally the holder of the best ever entry to the chamber (in 2019) 😂
I've been having a think about what's been missing from the Holyrood campaign. So far, I suddenly realise, none of the parties have used ropey AI to generate an online ad focusing on an undead dog being rescued by a kindly party leader. Someone should probably try that.
55% Yes.
But it will only happen if we vote for it.
On Thursday, make it both votes SNP to elect a majority SNP government, secure Scotland’s right to decide, and put our future in Scotland’s hands.
"There are new voting systems in Scotland and Wales" says Laura Kuenssberg. 100% wrong. There is a new electoral system in Wales. The Scottish Parliament has the same PR electoral system it has had since 1999. Basic stuff & sadly typical of Londoncentric media. #bbclaurak
Feels very strange seeing people screaming about AI generation of a picture I’m literally in (albeit my face hidden behind a sign).
Editing makes it look strange for sure, but there’s loads of photos and videos confirming that the group of people are very much real.
In these serious times, people need serious leadership - and that's exactly why I am standing to be your First Minister.
Determined action on the cost of living and the NHS, and limitless ambition by taking Scotland’s future into Scotland’s hands. #BothVotesSNP
The SNP are the only party whose campaign receives an overall ‘net’ positive rating.
Reform UK & the Scottish Conservatives seen as having had the worst campaigns so far.
But, many of the public are uncertain/indifferent about how well the parties’ campaigns are going.
