Green co-convener Patrick Harvie very critical of the Holyrood Inquiry. Don't expect his party to support a motion of no confidence in the First Minister
@ScotsLabour @SpawnofJustice@EdinburghWatch Agree re economic case. Lots of disinformation swimming around. Don't need 75% tho. "Broken promises" not nebulous but shorthand.
Ruth Davidson at FMQ's accuses ScotGov of withholding a document from the 'inquiry'. The one David Davis referred to in the HoC.
The FM replied that this document was handed over on 21.11.2018 and was labelled 'Production Number 7.79.
Davidson was flummoxed, bloggers take note
@SpawnofJustice@EdinburghWatch Nope. You're misreading this. It's not elitist nationalism or Anglophobia, it's having a say in policies that matter. We haven't voted for Tory govt since 1955 and yet we've been taken out of Europe & now WM pushing nuc cap. Eng people welcome. Just let us determine our future.
@SpawnofJustice@EdinburghWatch The electorate voting in SNP are very clear about Indep mandate. Can you suggest any other way we make our voice heard. It is a union, not an occupation... devolution doesn't go far enough. Governing with one hand tied. "Bye"
@FrancesLumsden That will achieve nothing. Independence is not about SNP. If you want say in your country then voting 1 and 2 is only way for future say. Otherwise we will continue to be consumed by WM. If you find current leg unpalatable you need to swallow it and move to change it.
@Douglas4Moray Your conduct has lost you any kind of respect. Disgusting opportunistic behaviour from Tories. Demonstrated you don't care about democracy but only party.
@JohnMai37647824 @StewartMcDonald @SusaninLangside @NicolaSturgeon In fairness, if you were following murdofraser et al over last few weeks predicting a leak wouldn't have required hiring a soothsayer. If they wanted to represent parliament they should have behaved with more gravitas. Unfortunately their efforts just look petty & squalid.
@krishgm Heartening to see an example of journalism tweet able to succinctly include nuances of this leak. Unfortunately very much the exception than what we expect now on Scottish matters. Reporting vs partisan/faux indignation. Thank you and Channel 4.
Today, the UK government will announce a massive increase in its stockpile of nuclear weapons. By contrast, @scotgov will incorporate the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child into Scots law. https://t.co/fwUdYD6ufU
