The election of Donald Trump is a dark day for reproductive healthcare, the rights of refugees and the future of our planet.

As we speak, people are being slaughtered in Gaza and Lebanon. Our demands on our governments have not changed: stop enabling genocide and end all arms sales to Israel.

We are a global movement, made up of all faiths and backgrounds, united in our opposition to racism and hatred. We will never abandon hope in a more equal, sustainable and peaceful world.

@FollowMeltdowns One of the more sensible things they've said.

[DandyDon @DandyDonSF]

Dons fans holding up an Israel flag have annoyed far more Dons fans than Celtic fans. Was that the intention?
What a weird thing to do.

@ibroxrocks Start with the team that finished the game, and Rangers will romp the treble.

@chris_sutton73 The Dons play in red
The Celts wear the green
For Rangers the title race
Is over by Halloween

I think what Scotland needs is a slate of independent candidates for Holyrood in 2026. Local people who want to make a difference. An independent Scotland where public services work for people. An economic plan that delivers for people. Political parties are busted. Discuss.

@Lockiebaws There's no way they would have landed that same set of questions if they were playing for a decent amount.

[Middle aged runner @marktracey1975]

@AmyJoanne__ There goes the claim of the questions being random. That was the easiest set ever.

“If the law really is above politics, and if government respects the law, the moral corollary must surely be that it applies the same standards of justice to itself?” This 💯 https://t.co/auzrCa0XcD

@ScotNatWatch Just maybe the SNP is starting to turn a corner.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Very sad to hear of Alex Salmond’s passing.

He was formidable, determined and principled to his core.

We will miss his tenacity and humour most. My thoughts are with his family and friends in Scotland and around the world.

[Kevin McKenna @kmckenna63]

God rest Alex Salmond, Scotland’s greatest ever politician ✝️

[Barrhead Boy (Through A Scottish Prism) @Scotpol1314]

It is quite difficult to not throw up listening to the corrupt unionist media and the betrayers in the SNP all now extolling the brilliance of Alex Salmond after years of eviscerating him at every turn such dishonest,loathsome hypocrites!

[Dennis Canavan @DennisCanavan]

RIP @AlexSalmond, one of the most vilified yet courageous of politicians.I had the privilege of sharing a platform with him last month.He brought the cause of Scottish Indy to the verge of victory. Now others must complete unfinished business.Thoughts & prayers with Moira+family.

[Neale Hanvey🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @JNHanvey]

It has been the honour of my life to know and work with the best political operator and orator in Scotland bar none.

Devastated, heartbroken but forever grateful and inspired.

My thoughts and prayers with Moira and the family.

#Hero ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[Mike Dailly @mikedailly]

Scotland’s greatest First Minister, Alex Salmond has died. I am deeply sad and devastated. My thoughts are with Moria and their family. Scotland has lost a true son. A person who had so much more to give the country he so dearly loved.

[Ash Regan @AshRegan_]

A tour de force in politics, who took us close to independence. Alex had the nation believe in itself.

My thoughts to his family, friends and all those who he inspired to dream. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 💔

@FollowMeltdowns @4ladshadadream @ibroxrocks UEFA offers gold, pink and green. Please change the pink to white so that we can have the ultimate melt down.

[Middle aged runner @marktracey1975]

@CameronMcNeish @overlandertheb1 Except for the well off.

[Alex Salmond @AlexSalmond]

The danger to jobs and to Scotland’s greatest single industrial asset is now real and immediate - yet the Scottish Government wring their hands and mouth platitudes.

As First Minister I helped save Grangemouth not once but twice. But where is the political will to do it again?
