I would hope this claim isn't true, because if it were it is exactly the sort of behaviour that should be called out and acted on BEFORE someone defects and not afterwards

Still in the market for an Edinburgh Oasis ticket, any night, if anyone knows of one going spare #Oasis #Murrayfield

Mass starvation in Gaza and over 1,000 Palestinians killed while seeking aid since May. The government says the situation is intolerable yet they continue to tolerate it.

The UK needs to stop all arms exports to the Israeli Government - today.

Iconic.

[The Herald @heraldscotland]

Asked about concerns her bill could drive prostitution to an unregulated and underground system, Ms Regan said: "If you had a lot of women in underground cellars with a locked door, how would the punters get to them?"

The big day arrives. Stage one of Liam McArthur’s assisted dying bill will be voted on this evening. Time to give terminally ill Scots that compassionate choice.

[Alan Smith @Political_AlanS]

Lib Dem MSP Liam McArthur gives his response to John Swinney’s decision not to support his assisted dying bill

He’s not surprised and is still hopeful the First Minister’s colleagues will take a different view

Something deeply personal: @STVNews has shared my mum’s story — she suffered terribly in her final days. My full interview might air tonight at 6pm. With assisted dying bills up for debate in England & Scotland, change is urgently needed. #AssistedDying #DignityInDying

Richard Tice in Glasgow to unveil Reform’s newest defectors. Gets stuck when @DMScotPol asks him for their names.

They’re playing Natalie Imbruglia and The Cranberries before the Touché Amore show in Glasgow. Pretty sure that wasn’t the intro playlist I was expecting.

[Max Sefton @MaxSefton]

One of my new New Year’s resolutions is to write more non-work stuff, so in that spirit here’s some words on very fun Welsh rockers The Bug Club and humour in music for @reSOUNDonline

Quite impressive that they have more leadership candidates than parliamentarians.

@perpetua Maybe one for a newsletter intro but I’d be interested to know what proportion you get press and which you shell out for and whether there’s stuff you’ve passed on due to price?

[Max Sefton @MaxSefton]

Appealed to the Information Commissioner in December 2022 over the Scot Gov's refusal to give me information relating to Crown Consent on dubious grounds. Just had an email that the staff member handling my case is leaving. Still no sign of the information. A broken system

In the final week of term the Scottish Government are going to give a statement today on their highly suss use of WhatsApp and deletion of messages. They’ve been sat on the relevant report since July. Burying bad news season has arrived.

[Max Sefton @MaxSefton]

Powerful (but extremely cold) #AssistedDying event with @dignityindying this morning. It’s time for people with terminal illness to be given the choice over how their life ends.

[Max Sefton @MaxSefton]

In honour of Quincy Jones’ astonishing life, treat yourself and revisit this absolute all timer of a DGAF interview

@duncanrobinson Autonomous weapons arms race.
Assorted fraud probes into Sanjeev Gupta and fallout across his business empire.
The spread of weather based conspiracy theories.
Lack of diagnostic kit in British hospitals.
Private social networks like Discord.

[Max Sefton @MaxSefton]

Feels fairly damning of the state of the British rail network that I would rather my Edinburgh-London train were late so that I can get a refund on the extortionate ticket price.

[Max Sefton @MaxSefton]

There are now six contenders for the Scottish Tory leadership, each of whom has launched their campaign with the same bland op-ed. So plainly knackered and short on ideas.
