@rorysutherland hey Rory - what’s with this advertising approach of getting children to voice adverts aimed at adults? Personally, i find it intensely irritating.
@MorayLaura The wisdom of hindsight is a wonderful thing… despite his monumental unpopularity, he’s a serious man doing good work to improve our reputation internationally post-Brexit, and he’s made some gaffs here, but the constant ‘baying for blood) in politics is unpleasant, in my view..
If this was Starmer’s PR teams attempt to show solidarity with the Scots on Burns night, then he should sack the lot of them for this lame stereotyping!
Oh no! After the fantastic win by Rachael, and the loyal, honourable and generous Stephen (what else would you expect from a lad from the Isles!), but Traitors Ireland and New Zealand just starting!
What a night.
Officially adopted as @theSNP candidate for Moray - such an enormous privilege.
Hugely grateful to First Minister @JohnSwinney for his support.
And lovely to be able to celebrate @RichardLochhead and thank him for his service to Moray, and to Scotland.
@marksandspencer I think wee Teddi is trying to tell us something! I want my dinner, and to be fair he does have M&S tinned corned beef or tongue with his biscuits, and a cooked chicken thigh for dinner…
@mrjamesob When I heard she was going to be on I thought she was going to be interviewed by @mrjamesob! I thought; she’s braver than I thought she’d be… then realised, ‘holiday cover’. Could have been worse; Farage!
@yahoomail hi - I am unable to send email from my account because the ‘SMPT’ address is wrong - this has been going on for ages - please advise how to fix this before I change email providers in utter frustration.

Hooligans party at strangers house while their parents were away.They trash the joint,drink/eat all they can,fill their pockets full of goodies.Then they deny everything, say it was like this before they arrived and it isn’t their fault . That’s this Government in a nutshell.
Michelle Mone's husband Barrowman has issued a "statement" this morning after @thetimes report showing the National Crime Agency is investigating a £3 million payment into Mone's Coutts bank account, which would prove her direct benefit from the PPE Medpro contract as well as indirectly through trusts.
The statement is full of "look over there", fundamental lies (we saved the govt £100 million - they didn't) & obfuscation. Who'd have thought it?
Obfuscation is where he doesn't mention that he didn't declare his interest on company filings- nowhere on the Companies House declarations at the time.
She didn't declare her interest on official documents, she lied consistently (par for the course), threatened press with libel, lied to her lawyers, lied about her lawyers "they told me to lie" - they didn't.
Now their defence about getting £65 million profit and pandemic profiteering is saying
"I'm not the only one who robbed the public, they're picking on me, it's not fair"
There is so much which needs to be investigated with other companies too. We've been saying this for a long time.
@RachelReevesMP has promised a Covid CORRUPTION Commissioner to investigate them if Labour win the next election.
More to follow with data.....
Don't forget to follow "The VIP Files" with @GoodLawProject and I here.
We have access to huge amounts of data through FOIs and are putting it together about numerous contracts given through the infamous VIP Lane.
It's a Tory mess which stinks and they're still trying to hide a lot of the evidence.
