The demonisation of John Swinney has started.

It's now going to gather pace.
By Monday there will be unionists calling for him to resign.

This is a well planned attack on the SNP.

How has a £400,000 theft of SNP funds become a bigger story than £37 billion being spent on an app that didn't work?

Stephen Flynn on Labour temporary allowing the purchase of Russian oil from third countries,

"This is a betrayal of the Ukrainian people and as someone who has served in the Westminster parliament, I am outraged by this"

"I had had the privilege to meet President Zelenskyy and shake his hand. He's a hero and he's defended democracy in Europe"

"We cannot forget that, and we should be doing everything we can to support him"

"And on jet fuel, in Scotland we refined all of our jet fuel requirements at Grangemouth"

"Who closed Grangemouth? The Labour party"

"Whether it's a betrayal of the north sea, or a betrayal of the people of Ukraine, or a betrayal of the people in Grangemouth, the buck stops at the door of the Labour party"

Scotland is programmed to hate Celtic so you have to go to a different countries media for the credit that is due. This is 2026 by the way.

[Mari @MarianneDochert]

@RetroCeltic Yep. Completely different reaction when Scotland fans invaded the pitch in the game against Denmark.

[Mick @NCCMick]

And for anyone who claims that after a goal the opposition team need to kick off before the ref can end the game go check what happened after Kenny McLean scored against Denmark.

In all the furore and fuss from yesterday not much being said for Iheanacho stopping play of his own accord as hearts player going down with a hammy!!! Sportsmanship in midst of a title decider!!!

[Viljami Quinnisalo @JQuinn8723]

In the last 2 weeks Celtic had linesmen try to rule out 2 goals that were yards onside, a handball equaliser against us was allowed to stand and 2 stonewall penalties weren’t given but, the world lost its mind when we were given a penalty for a clear handball above the head. 🥴😅

The mathematical gymnastics that the BritNats go through - uniquely for SNP in Scotland - to downplay their success is quite something. #C4News

[Alan Ferrier @alanferrier]

BBC Scotland, our totally unbiased and impartial public service broadcaster, has just reported that the SNP have "got away with it".

[Andrew Dalgleish @andalg1]

[Anne @annewitha_e]

[Johnny @JohnnyDundee]

BBC Scotland has invited Alex Massie, Joanna Cherry, Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson, Margaret Thatcher, Enoch Powell, Benito Mussolini, Genghis Khan, Jack The Ripper & the Marquis de Sade as guest studio panellists to review the Scottish Parliament election results

[Cú Chullain @paddyb53]

I wasn't sure if @JohnSwinney was the right person to lead the SNP Government when he was appointed, but my goodness what a Statesman and leader he's turned out to be, the English based Party leaders in Scotland look like the incompetent political nobodies they are in his wake.

[Andrew Dalgleish @andalg1]

You have only two choices on Thursday Vote for a party that supports independence and doesn't see Scotland as second rate or vote for a unionist party who wants to hand over running of Scotland to a failed Westminster parliament
