Nice to see the local Groucho Marx Appreciation Society showing off their Buy One Get One Free silicone implants for the world's meeja at Holyrood yesterday.
John Swinney ‘Nanananana I won’
Only because the Murrell court case was delayed till after the Holyrood election.
Do you think you’d still win if the election was held today?
Probably not https://t.co/fxYkRg5b3a
Wings Over Scotland has today filed a new complaint with Police Scotland and COPFS against the SNP, on grounds of suspected fraud, theft by appropriation, embezzlement and false or misleading statements, based on new evidence POST-Operation Branchform. https://t.co/orUI13zN5g
At FMQs today John Swinney was on the ropes as never before. His only defence was that he won the election.
Yet had the Murrell plea of guilty taken place before the election - as it was supposed to - that win would have been far less secure. Swinney actually said all those who voted for him/the SNP don't care what the opposition say about his/his party's actions.
This is quite close to megalomania.
All this won't end well for Swinney, not least because he has alienated the press and there is a plethora of revelations, court actions and a very likely parliamentary inquiry to come.
He could peel paint off a wall with his boring, dreary, meaningless drivel...
Never mind the 440,000 votes he lost, no one is buying this anymore.
As Nicola will confirm from her new pad in Merry England, the jig is up.
Did Nicola piss off to London for the cheaper tax or because she didn't want to live in the same country as baldy Flynn???
Malcolm Offard on top form today😂😂
Worth a quick note on how SP Bureau works. The Bureau decides on various parliamentry business matters most notably the timetable, what debates happen when, membership of committees etc. It then tables motions in Parliament (bureau motions) 1/5 https://t.co/xmZmJlyoZQ
Absolutely fantastic action by @WingsScotland - Swinney clearly thought today he could slime his way out of this charge, although the question remains why on earth the COPFS didn't pursue this originally?
Women, leave Unison and join the @DarlingtonUnion!
As well as the sheer ignorance of this statement - complete misinterpretation of the law/guidance/code relating to workplaces (see @akuareindorf) - why would you still give your hard-earned £ to a union that centres a few men..?

If the truth about the plot against Salmond is indeed finally made public, I expect a statue outside the High Court.
Or Saughton Jail I am not fussy!
Awkward. Speaking in parliament in 2022, John Swinney railed against the economic illiteracy of people suggesting he had the right to spend ringfenced money on other things.
🚨 "What I said yesterday was nothing different to what the Scottish National Party said in 2021." #DishonestJohn really is a despicable liar and a disgrace to political office". #FMQs
