Glasgowegians speak of guts. Edinburgers speak of courage. She had public guts in spades, while you hid in the background.

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

What a pity she didn’t have the courage to speak out at the time. But then of course there would have been consequences as those of us who did are only too well aware.

[Jim Hamilton @JimJaapHam]

The usual caterwauling ..

It's got nothing to do with money. It's the anti Scotland thing.

£3.5 BILLION WARSHIP BREAKS-DOWN YET AGAIN!

BBC/MSM COVERAGE - ALMOST ZERO.

ONE SCOTTISH FERRY HAS A LEAKING TAP - WALL-TO-WALL COVERAGE.

It was because you were ineffective that you were kicked out.

YES

Highest taxes in the U.K. and this is how it’s being spent? Corrupt in plain sight. You’re all happy to be paying for this? 🙄 https://t.co/UfMGd4cmfi

Bravo Albania. Nobody wants foreign investment that abuses a country. You stood tall, reacted like a true democracy, showed you were listening and cared, and didn't let corrupt locals fool you.

Albania has officially drawn the
line, Sazan 'lsland is being cleared. In an stunning turn of events, Albanian authorities have
launched an active enforcement operation to kick
out foreign developers and private security
personnel occupying Sazan Island. The decisive
action marks a total collapse of the controversial €1.4 billion luxury real estate deal that aimed to turn the protected national marine reserve and
former military base into an exclusive private playground for global elites,
The eviction comes after four consecutive weeks of historic
hundred-thousand-strong protests that completely
shut down the capital city of Tirana, refusing to allow their native coastlines and ecologically sensitive wetlands to be privatized by foreign
investors, the Albanian public unified under a
single, unyielding demand: "Albania is not for sale, the courts faced with a historic political crisis, mounting
domestic fury, and a widening anti-corruption
investigation by special prosecutors (SPAK), the
government was forced to pivot, by deploying state forces to reclaim Sazan lsland, Albania has
sent a clear message to international billionaires
and foreign developers trying to bypass environmental protection laws, This historic victory for citizen-led activism proves that the collective voice of a nation can successfully overpower backroom corporate deals and protect sovereign land.
The people spoke, and the
government had to listen.

Yes, it's OK. Some moslems eat bacon, drink alcohol, etc. Just because someone is a reformed alcoholic, that doesn't mean everyone else stops drinking.

Lebanon is an ethnic mosaic. Identity cards identify your religion. The political system based on religion has led to stasis. Israel is increasing control so that it can dominate Lebanon like the Golan Heights. It annexed the latter, and may annex S. Lebanon.

[Peter Grant SNP @PeterGrantMP]

"Ethnic cleansing" is not an expression that should be chucked around. Using it to describe what's happening in Lebanon is not "chucking it around"; what Israel is doing is exactly the kind of situation the phrase "Ethnic Cleansing" was invented to describe.

[Jim Hamilton @JimJaapHam]

False jingoism of this sort is simplistic and nebulous

[Jackie Dunbar SNP @JackieDunbarSNP]

Scotland should be an independent nation

A new poll shows from Norstat shows that a majority of people favour Scottish independence

[Andrew Bowie MP @AndrewBowie_MP]

If John Swinney continues to block an inquiry at Holyrood, then it’s the duty of Scotland’s other Parliament to act.

Another silly comment from la la land

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

The BBC should have sent a hypnotist.

[Jim Hamilton @JimJaapHam]

I listen to Nicola with respect, whereas you don't and I suspect you never have. You are eaten up by jealousy and snobbery.

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

🤦‍♀️ Nicola Sturgeon is setting up a strawman in her interview with @bbclaurak. Nobody was complaining of embezzlement in 2021. What we were worried about was financial mismanagement & lack of transparency. She demonised us for those concerns & should take responsibility for that.

[Jim Hamilton @JimJaapHam]

The more you spit and boak the more mental you seem..

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

There are so many takeaways from Nicola Sturgeon’s interview, but one of them is that having denied for years that her resignation in February 2023 had anything to do with the financial scandal she now says that she first became aware of wrongdoing by her husband in early 2023

[Jim Hamilton @JimJaapHam]

More foolish words..

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

You spent several painful hours in the witness box bloviating on the issue while trying to have a lesbian run charity shut down. Mercifully you were such an appalling witness your evidence unwittingly helped them win the case.

[Jim Hamilton @JimJaapHam]

Another stupid comment from a bitter and rejected politico..

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

Living in a luxury house in London and sipping champagne on the book festival circuit is about as far away from serving a prison sentence as I can imagine. It’s worth remembering that thanks to Nicola Sturgeon vulnerable women in Scottish prisons are banged up with violent men.

[Jim Hamilton @JimJaapHam]

5 years in which Scotland flourished under the SNP. The voters rejected you and you are not missed. Your book sales say it all

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

Five years to the day since I resigned from the SNP NEC because of the deliberate frustration of the scrutiny of governance & financial management I had been elected by members to deliver. Those asking questions were treated appallingly. We need to know why.

[Jim Hamilton @JimJaapHam]

We're not fooled. You are.

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

Don’t be fooled. Nicola Sturgeon (wife) is not being held responsible for her husband’s crimes. As leader of the party she is being called to account for her deliberate frustration of the legitimate scrutiny which might have revealed those crimes. The distinction is 💯 clear.

[Jim Hamilton @JimJaapHam]

Swill of the swineyard

Sturgeon dismissed advice from people she saw as critics 👇

Was the "Douglas that is what he is elected to do" the same Douglas who was blocked from doing what he was elected to do ?
