Selling Scotland by the poond.

@murdo_fraser @StephenFlynnSNP He might not know where the bodies are buried but he's ignoring some unusual bulges in the carpet in their refurbished party HQ.

[Murdo Fraser MSP @murdo_fraser]

Is @StephenFlynnSNP refusal to back an inquiry into the SNP finances scandal a shrewd move given his leadership ambitions? Shouldn’t he be making the most of his distance from all those caught up in this mess?

@BBCSport Who in the what?

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

Holy shit, this sick old man can't even keep himself upright, seated in the Oval Office.

He's practically sideways. How TF is this not a bigger story?

So the flotilla activists were rightly and justly held by Israel, though for just half a day, then released and deported. And the world went into complete meltdown. Outrage went to delirious levels.

Now the same flotilla activists have been detained and imprisoned in Libya for the past 10 days, and that prison term has been extended significantly.

And the reaction from the world?

Total silence. Not a peep.

Weird huh? 🤔

@HughMcsween Utter bollocks.

@ScotlandSky Should put their name to a Thank You card to the SFA for cheating their way to a league.

[For Women Scotland @ForWomenScot]

Perhaps new Cab Sec for Education @MairiMcAllan can appreciate the seriousness of this situation. We provided her predecessor (& @EHRC, @EHRCScotland) with a list of 70 schools, confirmed to have mixed-sex toilets. There will be many hundreds more primary schools.

Each and every female pupil now has a prima facie case for indirect sex discrimination. We trust there will be a statement to Parliament next week to address what steps will be taken to ensure schools provide single-sex facilities.

@TheScotsman Sad fucks.

Nicola Sturgeon takes a wee trip to the Palace for a little chicken dinner with Andrew, but royal hospitality soon turns into utter chaos, leaving Andrew with a rather unfortunate bruise upon the once-princely noggin.

@Wilson34David @Indynow6 @ScotTories @ScottishLabour I drove up the A9 in 2017. Every mile or so there was a sign saying "dualled by 2025" with Scottish Government logo on it. That was another act of fraud it seems.

He gets legal aid despite being a high earner, female items removed from the list in a plea deal, case postponed until after the election, pleads guilty after £2.7M blown in a 4 year investigation, now he has assets to pay back £400k

Do you see it yet?

John Swinney in 2001 on Henry McLeish £9,000 expenses scandal:

"You have got to be able to trust the First Minister."

Once it escalated to £36k+ Swinney said:

"People around Scotland will be staggered by the amount of money that is involved.

For the good of the Scottish parliament as a whole and the office of first minister, Mr McLeish should now resign his position."

John Swinney in 2026 on the SNP's £660,000 fundraising scandal:

"Nothing to see here, folks."

[Bruce Bowman @boswelltoday]

@PoliceScotland now appears to be asking Scotland to accept that “ring-fenced” means “spent elsewhere”, “referendum campaign fund” means “general party activity” and “already investigated” means “don’t ask awkward questions”.

Scotland is being taken for mugs. Worse, we are being expected to thank them for the explanation.

Polite reminder. Trump & Brexit are not 2 different things. They are the same thing. Same companies. Same data. Same Facebook. Same Russians. Same Cambridge Analytica. Same Robert Mercer. Same Steve Bannon. Same Breitbart. Same Alexander Nix. Same Donald Trump. Same Nigel Farage.
