🗳 Voters in Fife returned the biggest ever SNP team to Fife Council, with a record high vote share.
🚨 Yet, Labour and Tories chose to disregard democracy with a backroom stitch-up to keep the SNP out.
👉 We’ll keep fighting hard for our community, but Fife deserves better.
We're nearly a week in and people are still going on about this rubbish with the media particualrly infatuated by how we should speak in Scotland. In a week when the UK was burning and Brexit makes the UK ungovernable surely there's more important stuff? https://t.co/iLY78scWbp
The Scotland we love is a nation of extraordinary resilience, one that can overcome each and every passing storm.
In this new Parliament, we must work together - so we can deliver for the people who elected us here, and bring hope for the future.
Astonishing that Andy Burnham's threat to scrap the Barnett Formula has been completely ignored by BBC Scotland but has been picked up by BBC Wales who've challenged Burnham. What is BBC Scotland actually for? It regularly ignores HUGE political stories.

For some reason my articulate and impressive (female) successor is causing quite a a stir on social media. It probably says a lot more about those getting wound up than it does about @larabirdsnp who is clearly doing something right.
Scotland deserves better than Westminster failure and a broken system where food and energy bills just keep going up.
The only real change will come with the fresh start of independence.
On a personal level, I wish Keir Starmer and his family well. Leadership places extraordinary demands on those who serve, and on the families who support them.
He has made the right decision, but what happens next must be about more than a change of Prime Minister.
Scotland’s wind farms will pay £1 billion to connect to the UK grid.
Meanwhile, projects elsewhere in the UK will be paid to connect.
Scotland generates the energy. Scots should see the benefit.
🏴 I can’t get enough of the Tartan Army videos in Boston. More than football fans, they’re now a global cultural phenomenon. Scotland’s soft power at its very best.
���Speaking after Good Morning Britain faced questions over 'anti-Scottish comments' about the bank holiday on Monday to mark Scotland's first match, John Swinney has said he doesn't 'pay much attention' to the 'metropolitan commentators'

This month marks the 10th anniversary of the Brexit vote. Scotland voted 62-38% to remain in the EU, but we had Brexit imposed on us anyway. We have been paying the price ever since.
