Musings on Scotland politics and economics here

[David McWilliam @Scotland_exp]

The hybrid model is an attempt to move Scotland beyond the stale argument of “state versus market.” It asks a different question: who owns the assets, who captures the value, and who benefits from economic activity?

📱 This is what the SNP’s people powered digital campaign was up against. Not only a well funded Labour campaign, it looks like there was international interference. Read more here. https://t.co/POUAW1M3Fa

[First Minister @ScotGovFM]

“Our long-awaited return to the World Cup is an opportunity to showcase what Scotland has to offer.”

First Minister @JohnSwinney is in Boston to meet business leaders and investors, before marking Scotland’s return to the World Cup.

Scotland should enjoy the World Cup.
But the bigger question is what we build from it. Football creates public value: belonging, health, youth opportunity etc.
So why not create a Scottish Football Community Dividend?
From national pride to public value.

1.EXCLUSIVE: @BylineTimes exposes the Russian neo-Nazi network – promoted by Tommy Robinson – pushing 'White Lives Matter' propaganda to sow division and race war across the UK and Europe. Founded by a sanctioned oligarch close to Putin🧵https://t.co/rNHXhfFOrj

[John Swinney @JohnSwinney]

Enough is enough. When politicians use hateful language, they create conditions for hatred to grow.

This is the Reform party I warned about, and they should be ashamed for inciting racial division in Scotland.

I will always stand up for the inclusive country we are. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@ScotTories Because it is the whole system that has been broken. All parties need the same scrutiny, not just a targeted attack against one. Each party has had its own scandals so that’s why the debates are so crap, and engagement dismal. All or none.

@RealStephenKerr They widened the scope, not a shutdown
