I know Celtic fans won’t agree but, as dramatic as today has been, that’s an awful outcome for Scottish football. If Celtic can cycle through three managers, struggle for most of the season, yet win the title anyway, what does it say about the state of the game up there?
Underrated v funny dynamic in UK politics is Labour collapsing in no small part because of its futile attempts to appease Trump, while John Swinney of all people effortlessly has him under a Zohran-type spell lmao
🧵 The Jacobite Risings Were Mass Anti-Colonial Uprisings - Not Marginal Rebellions
You've been told they were fringe movements.
You've been told Scotland accepted the Union.
You’ve been lied to.
Let’s look at the numbers - and the system that buried them.

NEW: Child poverty is set to fall in Scotland but rise in rest of the UK, a major new report projects.
The Joseph Rowntree Foundation said that the UK Government should follow Scotland's lead👇
Here's the response from Swinney to Sarwar at FMQ's that you almost certainly won't see on Reporting Scotland. It directly relates to Labour's plans for the NHS and the party's general election campaign. However, these plans are unpalatable in Scotland as BBC Scotland knows.
UK ministers say they try to “work constructively” with their opposite numbers in Edinburgh to “make the devolution settlement work”. So I asked the UK Culture Secretary if she knew the name of her opposite number in Edinburgh.
Listen to the laughter in the Westminster room.
👋 Hey @Keir_Starmer, we heard you came to Scotland today to announce your green policy agenda on a private jet!
Next time you come here, why not use the trains we nationalised instead?
We’ve even scrapped peak fares to sweeten the deal!
“Well no, it’d be an investment vehicle so, erm, not an energy company.”
Only Labour could announce an energy company that isn’t *actually* an energy company.
But he wants us to be grateful that it will be based in Scotland to tap our resources.
How lucky we are.
Starmer confirms GB Energy isn’t an energy company but an investment arm for private sector & will not:
1) produce energy
2) sell energy
3) own any energy infrastructure
And no explanation as to how it reduces bills.
Scotland’s energy should be in Scotland’s hands.
