Locked horns with @MonicaLennon7 on opposing sides back in my student days (Hamilton campus haha) but happy to see her put her name forward as Scottish Labour Leader and wish her well when she is duly elected!

Hi @Ryanair , at Weeze Airport on the 1610 to Edinburgh FR5688. Can you explain why the gate agents released passengers on to the apron when no aircraft was here yet. Its currently 30º heat amd no shade.

[SpecialNobody @SpecialNobody16]

@DanTalks Same.
"But you were married to a woman!"
Yeah because I was a coward. Everyone loves tits but sorry ladies and "ladies" but I like dick and the MAN its attached to. Simple as.

Holy Christ 😳 nae wonder SL didn't want him on a debate stage

[ScotlandTonight @ScotlandTonight]

🗳️Tonight we hear from five candidates in the Hamilton, Larkhall & Stonehouse Holyrood by-election.

In recent Scottish opinion polls, there are six parties enjoying significant support. We invited their candidates to debate.

Only two agreed to debate, and three took up the offer of an individual interview.

Here's Scottish Labour's candidate Davy Russell, who was questioned by @STVColin:

[John Black @jon_noire]

Oaft @STVColin did not hold back 🙈😂

[Stephen Flynn @StephenFlynnSNP]

“So, did you lie during the election?”

Judge his answer for yourself folks.

[John Black @jon_noire]

@mattforde You know you won in 2022 right?

[RiotBadger @RiotBadger]

I’m a 57 year old retired doctor from Greater Manchester.

I’ll be voting for @Nigel_Farage and @reformparty_uk at the general election.

Quote tweet this and pass yours on.
Let’s smash the two party system.

[Martin Harmer @martinharmer]

Hey @reformparty_uk are you ok with your supporters doing this?

@TonyTonyTx is using photos of dead pensioners to try and drum up support for you.

This is a vile tactic.

Labour's candidate in Livingston doesn't even live in Scotland!

#VoteSNP tomorrow to secure strong voices for Scotland, who will oppose austerity and fight for independence.

[John Swinney @JohnSwinney]

The Tories are beaten. Keir Starmer will be the next Prime Minister. Labour don’t need Scottish seats to win.

Scotland needs SNP MPs who will put Scotland’s interests first and oppose Labour spending cuts.

Vote SNP

[John Black @jon_noire]

Sunak literally conceding full 24hrs before polls even open 🙈🤣

[Rishi Sunak @RishiSunak]

24 hours until polls open.

24 hours to stop the tax-raising Labour supermajority.

It's in your hands.

[WWE @WWE]

Say his name and he appears...

Joe Hendry is here for the Battle Royal!!!

@joehendry #WWENXT

[John Black @jon_noire]

@StephenFlynnSNP is without a doubt a future Leader and First Minister of Scotland 💛 #BBCDebate #Election2024

[John Black @jon_noire]

Is this supposed to make things look better? He's literally saying he was ALWAYS going to leave the ceremony early 🙈🤣 What. An. Idiot.

[Beth Rigby @BethRigby]

PM speaking about leaving D-Day early.
Says “itinerary was set weeks ago before the GE campaign” and apologises again > Q as to why it was always scheduled for PM to leave the event early, regardless of the general election.

[John Black @jon_noire]

To pick a winner I'd have to say Starmer, but not the best performance but solid ground to work from. Sunak got a couple of good digs in but to be laughed at not once, but TWICE is kinda embarrassing... Looking forward to the next debate! #itvdebate
