[Stewart McDonald @StewartMcDonald]

On the day the UK Government scraps the Manchester leg of HS2, the Scottish Government scraps peak rail fares for a six-month pilot, saving passengers money right across Scotland🚊

[MSM Monitor @msm_monitor]

Transport is devolved. No UK Govt can impose infrastructure projects of this nature on Scotland. We've reached a state where abject nonsense is now being presented as credible by the very sector charged with exposing it. There's no such thing as political journalism anymore.

Most people probably wouldn’t have watched the Covid Inquiry…

Bet a lot more will now.

Precisely. Yet another way to dole out pathetic amounts of pocket money to Scotland. The tragedy is that the Scottish MSM is guilty of dereliction of duty towards the people here in Scotland by not saying this to them exactly. #OnlyIndependenceisnormal #ScotlandinEurope

[Chris Brookmyre @cbrookmyre]

Keep seeing people talking about "robbing Peter to pay Paul" and "making tough choices" re arts spending. All this does is underline how the arts are seen as a luxury, which is the essence of problem. If a culture doesn't value its arts, it won't just be the arts that atrophy.

NEW: Dealing with misogyny during the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election campaign has 'not been easy', Katy Loudon has said.

She told The National comments on social media tend to have a 'nasty edge' since she embarked on the campaign to become Scotland’s next MP.

Tomorrow's front page: We reveal Common Weal's new roadmap to Scottish independence – with a little inspiration from Bernie Sanders 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[The National @ScotNational]

NEW: We've been on the ground with SNP candidate @KatyLoudonSNP ahead of the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election 👀

[The National @ScotNational]

"We have to put aside our bickering"

Robin McAlpine of Common Weal explains his newly published strategy for gaining independence 👇

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

NEW INVESTIGATION: We’ve spoken to a people smuggler operating in northern France, part of the Kurdish mafia.

The undercover footage is remarkable. Among other things, he claims UK no longer being in the EU helps his operations. Watch below.

[Nicola Sturgeon @NicolaSturgeon]

‘You can have devolved powers but use them only if you do exactly what we tell you’ is not devolution in any meaningful sense. Increasingly obvious that real self government requires independence. https://t.co/18LBnwARik

Alister Jack accused the Scottish Government of provoking "unnecessary disagreement" between Holyrood and Westminster 🙃

"The party managed to install their group leader, Jim Logue, at the head of the local authority thanks to a single vote from British Unionist Party (BUP) councillor John Jo Leckie."

[The SNP @theSNP]

🗳️ The people of Rutherglen & Hamilton West have a stark choice.

🥀 A Labour candidate who'll take his orders from Keir Starmer, refusing to scrap cruel Tory policies.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Or @KatyLoudonSNP who'll listen to people of Rutherglen & Hamilton West and stand up for Scotland.

[The National @ScotNational]

Alister Jack said that under his 'watch' the Scottish Government would no longer be able to “hoard decision-making power” 🤡

[Prem Sikka @premnsikka]

HMRC prosecuted just 11 wealthy individuals (£200,000 income or £2m in assets) for tax abuses last yr.

The rich hire lawyers, so HMRC/DWP target the less well-off to look tough.

Since 2010, £450bn-£1500bn tax not collected due to evasion/avoidance.

“Labour are trying to keep up this pretence that they are anything other than a branch office here,” said Katy Loudon. “We know where the orders are coming from.”
