The SNP is a basket case: top dogs all fled, FM a joke, discipline collapsing, growing negative momentum in the polls, Alba rising, Indy movement & nat vote split. No prospect of Indyref2 even in medium term. My analysis for @Think_Scotland

I have a daughter who identifies as trans and has socially transitioned at school. To their credit the school asked us if we agreed and I did, because she was being badly bullied at the time and both she and the school said it would ameliorate the bullying if she could be known…

@JNHanvey @PankhurstEM @willie_rennie @WaidAcademy @NicolaSturgeon @ScotGovFM Yes it was passed to the police but only AFTER the @thecourieruk reported it. @waidacademy & @fifecouncil tried to deal with it "inhouse". Same with a second incident at Waid the same day where a boy was knocked unconscious. Hence the imperative of publicity.

“For nearly a decade, Nicola Sturgeon convinced people that she was a progressive, left of centre, can-do leader. The reality is that she was a confection. A mediocre politician who perfected the art of performance.” Sturgeon’s broken promise to our most vulnerable children My…

Polling shows @georgegalloway is regarded as the strongest opposition leader in Scotland yet the BBC and other outlets continue to deny him a voice while @Alliance4Unity is framing the debate on tactical voting & the need for a pro-UK alliance.

SNP snouts in the trough: taxpayer stumped up for nail polish, crockery, a leaving card, a ‘homedisco’ and even a driving test for a member of staff + over £4,000 on five-star Gleneagles Hotel iAND £10,000 on ‘VIP services’ used by the First Minister

So @kate_forbes has sold out - or bottled it. All her praise of Swinney leaves one huge question - if he was so great in his vision, where was he when the SNP pursued its economically destructive Green policies, its destructive gender politics, its lies about Indyref 2 being…

My thoughts on Humza's resignation: (1/4) It's not noble: it was inevitable and he waited until he had no choice. He would have lost the VONC because the Greens wouldn't support him and some of his MSPs wouldn't have stomached him working with Ash Reagan/Alex Salmond...

Incontrovertible polling evidence that the SNP are on a downward slide which shows every likelihood of accelerating

What's the betting @NicolaSturgeon will double down with a *circuit-breaker* lockdown to coincide with the October school holidays, which is then extended into partial school closure with blended learning? Just spoke to a sch teacher who said they've all been told to be ready

High time! The PM & ministers should also stop 4 nations talk: it undermines the authority of the UK gov, lending legitimacy to the false notion that the Scottish gov is equal, or on the same level as, the Westminster gov @Alliance4Unity

Where are the Scottish lawyers who know today's travel ban's legally dodgy (SG does not have the power) & a massive infringement of individual liberties on the dodgiest of grounds? Please don't tell me they are all hiding, or think it's ok. @Alliance4Unity @scojw @UsForThemScotl1

From personal experience, I can attest that Patrick Harvie is a nasty piece of work and an odious little man. To be fair, he’s playing a blinder in helping to bring down the SNP jumped-up council, and kill off #Scexit for decades. So there’s that.

Any word from @PoliceScotland or @scotgov about the ridicule the Hate Monster has attracted? I see Police Scotland has deleted his page. What's going to happen to him? More important, where is the accountability or consequences for the numpties who authorised the campaign in the…

86% in my mini twitter poll think @NicolaSturgeon is toast following Alex Salmond's evidence. Going on the radio and social media silence from the SNP, and the lack of any defence in today's papers, I'd say SNP supporters know it too.

This is the point: Scotland hasn't just been let down by 14 years of SNP rule. It's been equally let down by 14 years of ineffectual opposition. High time for @georgegalloway & @Alliance4Unity to put a rocket under the Holyrood chumocracy

Now @NicolaSturgeon doesn't know if Isla Bryson is man or a woman. If in trouble, equivocate, waffle, tell your opponent off, virtue signal about being calm and stigmatising oppressed minorities with one isolated case, waffle a bit more. #FMQs a dishonest, disgraceful charade

Absolute waste of space. Constantly uses the excuse that education is the responsibility of local authorities - so what on earth is the point of her job? Oh yes, to take credit when things go well (sadly rare) and make election promises (like a free tablet/laptop for every pupil)…

Bold decision by Jenny Gilruth to go on TV to discuss a report, and then admit that you haven’t read it. #BBCSundayShow
