If you invite climate-denying hacks onto Question Time while not inviting anyone from @TheGreenParty in over a year, don’t be shocked when it’s 20C on Halloween

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

There could scarcely be a better illustration of the absolute shitshow that is mainstream political journalism. Instead of holding power to account, you report politics as if it were a soap opera.

Absolutely outstanding performance from @ScotGovFM , answers questions without looking at notes , no hesitations , bit of banter thrown in which shows how calm she is , a proper leader , are you watching liz truss , no because no tv channel covered it , scandalous

Every voice you’re hearing on @BBCRadioScot is from London or Labour. Not an elected Scottish MP given a voice. This is what a propaganda service for the London elite looks like. We’re expected to believe that one we need is more of the same.

Nicola Sturgeon says cutting the 45p top rate of tax was “always an immoral thing to do”, so welcomes UKgov u-turn - she says situation is an “utter mess” and wants them to rule out spending cuts, and to commit to uprating benefits in line with inflation - “unconscionable” not to

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland has stable government - SNP & Greens.
Lowest crime in UK.
Lowest child poverty.
Best NHS.
Highest education standards.
Public water and trains.

Labour are English nationalists, won't deal with Scotland registered political parties.
Mimic Scotland government policy.

[Greenpeace UK @GreenpeaceUK]

BREAKING: Scotland will KEEP its ban on fracking.

Climate common sense from the Scottish Government 👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@TheScotsman Fake news

🧵Another full council meeting of East Renfrewshire Council where @EastRenLab and @ERConservative voted together at every turn including voting down a Cost-of-living crisis motion. 1/

The UK Govt is losing the argument and now want to rig the rules. Quite simply you can’t keep a country in a union when the people do not consent to such. Gerrymandering like this is doomed to failure. By all means argue for the union, do not disrespect the protocol on democracy.

[Adam Bienkov @AdamBienkov]

A reminder that if this rule had applied to the EU referendum, then the Brexit campaign would have been 7 million votes short.

[Cllr Craig Walker @craigrw1971]

Check the @COSLA minutes and you will find @ScottishLabour offered 3.5% and voted against a 5% offer from the SNP Group. Make no mistake today's agreement is down to @NicolaSturgeon and the SNP Scottish Government. Labour as always smoke and mirrors that everyone can see through

Vital we protect Scottish patients’ data from any attempt by UK Gov to raid #NHSScotland data and sell it to commercial companies!
They already tried to take those powers in #HealthandCareBill

[Bill Cruickshank @BjCruickshank]

If we want to save Scotland's National Health Service we are going to have to vote for independence. This is a truly terrifying read: https://t.co/lB7X95FUbh #ScottishIndependence5 #ScottishRepublic

[Ross Colquhoun @rosscolquhoun]

🧵 I've found the Twitter discussion on compromise over an independence referendum backed by the people of Scotland quite interesting and revealing.

So they groomed Shamima Begum, trafficked her, covered it up and then used her as propaganda to create a two-tier citizenship system.

[MSM Monitor @msm_monitor]

The pay award made by COSLA today is *exactly* what Anas Sarwar demanded on Sunday. Sarwar called for a one-off bunus payment to top the award up to £1900 if funding was an issue. Here is a recording of him saying it.
