@J67John @ammacj They’re also very good at abstaining when it comes to any serious decision making!

Shocking that @DavidLammy cannot or will not comment in HoC, upon the legality of Trump’s
bombing frenzy.
The hypocrisy afoot here, compared with his constant trumpeting about Ukraine, is embarrassing.
Diego Garcia’s use sees us complicit!

@ScotRail just been advised that the 14:18, from Argyle Street, Dumbarton train, already eighteen minutes late will now terminate at Dalmuir 😡
Unacceptable and disappointing. Trying to travel to Kilpatrick…

18 years after SNP come to power, the 60 areas with the lowest life satisfaction are in England or Wales and the 61st, lowest in Scotland, is Jackie Baillie's! https://t.co/HgkaJDA9BE

Great to see this being shared so widely.

@CraigMurrayOrg @CommonsSpeaker Are Barnett consequentials applied to this announcement?

[Rupert Cocking @Rupert_Cocking]

@CraigMurrayOrg They don’t look too happy at all.
Delivery of her speech is VERY wooden. Autocue system appears to be playing up! @CommonsSpeaker should be having a word, but as we’ve seen before, he’s in their pocket.

@kildogery @LiamMcLaughlan Exactly!

A formal complaint has been raised against BBC Scotland after the station's five day coverage of the NHS Fife 'trans tribunal' story. The complaint alleges 'bias by omission' for a failure to inform the public of a similar court case raised by nurses in England.

Please RT folks.

@batcountry1980 @FiremanPsalm Were it to be recorded today, GM would have expected and got a writing credit for his input into the catalogue.
Is it any wonder he ended up quite frustrated/embittered that he remained on an EMI salary?
And yet his loyalty to them, The Beatles, never appeared to waiver or wane!

Francesca P. Albanese… “Did you say 40 beheaded babies.. did you say that or not..?”

Piers Morgan… “All I’ve seen ever since is I apparently said 40 babies were beheaded… I NEVER said that”

Wow. A bishop just called out Trump and Vance to their faces at church.

BBC Scotland presenter Fiona Stalker tells listeners that Scottish Labour and UK Labour have opposing stances on the two child benefit cap.

Not true.

Anas Sarwar *still backs* Keir Starmer's decision not to scrap it now, but he wants the SNP to mitigate against it this April.

This is the ridiculous situation BBC Scotland is trying to hide as it seeks to present Sarwar's budget capitulation as a tactical masterstroke. He's all over the place on the two child cap.
