The SNP is lucky it was The Mail that came across this rather than a foreign agent or malevolent actor looking to extort or blackmail an elected official working for the party of Scottish Government. @theSNP are allowing him to remain a councillor for them…raises vetting Qs

@DailyMail The profile lists interests as adult parties, group sex, making videos, role play, swingers clubs, taking photos, threesomes and voyeurism. The Mail has chosen not to print some of the more obscene activities for reasons of taste and decency...

Did you know John Swinney has quietly shelved SNP policy that Scotland should have full devolved powers over immigration? Independence - but without the hard stuff?

FWS said the SG has confirmed it would appear in court over the guidance - rather than buckle to demands to withdraw it. Trina B said: ‘The Supreme Court ruling should have been the final word on the matter but it seems the arrogance of the Scottish Government knows no bounds.'🔥

Presumably all those people who accused journalists writing about Rayner's recent house purchases and tax affairs of sexism, spite, classism etc will now be apologising.

Went to A&E a few weeks ago in Glasgow and the waiting time was NINE HOURS. My friend only got seen when they collapsed outside of the hospital.
Have you heard about the latest good news in Scotland’s NHS? Here’s a short update on how @theSNP government is delivering more operations and shorter waits. 👇

Without access to treatment alongside emergency overdose reversal meds, we are leaving people in the purgatory of addiction. What could be more stigmatising than that?

2/ Reducing deaths is imperative, and so very welcomed. But the idea more than 1,000 Scots died in a single year is a national scandal. It is time to overhaul the policy echo chamber and allow people the opportunity at a life, not just a dependent existence, inches from death.

1/On Fri, @scottishprisons put out a release saying they use Naloxone on two prisoners every month to reverse overdose. Will the families of inmates be so delighted - that their son or daughter was able to take so many drugs behind bars that they almost died in the state's care?
NEW: Scotland saw fewer drugs deaths last year - a total of 1,017 drug misuse deaths according to National Records of Scotland, a drop of 13% (155 deaths) compared with 2023 and the lowest registered since 2017. Glasgow, Dundee and Inverclyde are worst affected.

Always such an embarrassing look from a fellow journalist.
There's a 'story' doing the rounds today about life in Lochee and Dundee, which I won't give any oxygen to. Instead, hear from real people who live and work in Lochee, from the journalists who spend every day covering issues in their community. https://t.co/Zw9PtYApEn
