Not taking IndyRef2 completely seriously, and here to poke holes in both sides lies .....

[Scottish Politics @ScottishPolComm]

@rosscolquhoun Yup, because both governments have failed to support the building of new homes sufficient to house the growing population. (Or control the population, but tends to be more controversial a topic / set of options).

Congratulations to Gordon MacDonald for showing the Labour Party was ran on strong fiscal controls and living within its budget in this period. Let’s see more of this.

The "Scottish" Labour accounting unit depends on a £777,455 grant from UK Labour to survive.

This grant is not only double the declared surplus but is more than the net worth of the balance sheet.

Great news! I'm delighted that Scotland’s Deposit Return Scheme is already helping to bring jobs and significant investment to Aberdeen. ♻️ 🚮https://t.co/PlSu2GswVs

@GraemetsmithT @BBCScotlandNews This is all on Lorna Slater. She over stated where the project was at, Biffa invested significant sums having been assured it was going ahead. Also huge business opposition to the terms of the the scheme (but not the spirit) she was a disaster and might cost taxpayers millions.

@EconomicReality @Scotonomics1 Then I await you being shocked at some point in the future.

[Scottish Politics @ScottishPolComm]

@MMTLabour @Scotonomics1 Yup, borrowing it, increasing debt costs.

@EconomicReality @Scotonomics1 Oh dear lord …..

@Scotpol1314 @JohnSwinney When I first posted on Twitter has nothing to do with political knowledge as I’m sure you appreciate. Nor does number of followers. Taking an interest and asking questions, whilst listening to others opinions is what I’m all about. And correcting false statements.

@Scotpol1314 @JohnSwinney Over 50 years old bud, born and raised in Scotland.

[Scottish Politics @ScottishPolComm]

@Scotpol1314 @JohnSwinney I can only say this with facts on my side so often. In his role as leader of the SNP yes, but in his role as FM and MSP, no.

Also, you do realise that somewhere in the region of 10-12% of people who vote for SNP candidates would not vote for independence, based on polls.

[Scottish Politics @ScottishPolComm]

@Scotpol1314 @JohnSwinney Maybe, but you stated his only job is independence. It’s not as far as his two main income paying roles are concerned.

[Scottish Politics @ScottishPolComm]

@Scotpol1314 @JohnSwinney Education, NHS, and using the tax powers they already have spring to mind. Whilst also representing all people of Scotland, not just the 45%-50% that would vote for independence.

[Scottish Politics @ScottishPolComm]

@Scotpol1314 @JohnSwinney He is in fact First Minister for Scotland, and an MSP in Perthshire. Both those jobs involve bigger priorities than Indy, by him representing the people of those areas.

Perhaps you are commenting on his role as leader of SNP, a lesser role to these two (which pay his wages).

Imagine thinking beforehand that it’s important to get a good photo ….. unreal.

@thoughtland @bellacaledonia @MandaScott “Pat Kane talking wank”. Somebody should start a twitter account with that name and repost 99% of the items he posts. His comments are so far removed from the common person, yet tries to be a thought-driven account.

Whilst I support Labours aim to make planning easier, as we need more homes in the U.K. to slow down house price appreciation, planning is only one issue. Where will they find the bricklayers/joiners/electricians/etc. to deliver the hoped for increase in new house builds?

[Scottish Politics @ScottishPolComm]

@toffeejag @msm_monitor @bbcquestiontime Look at twitter trending “Fiona Bruce”. The right wing are claiming she’s shutting Farage down at every opportunity. Truth is all sides always think journalists / presenters are biased against them, but in most cases it’s what they do, and do to to all sides.
