The SNP don’t represent what Scotland means to me. Anonymous because my job doesn’t allow me to have a political opinion.

Everything seems to be beyond the competency of @theSNP led Scottish Government. Excepting the manufacturing of grievances and wasting taxpayers money that is.

Is it @theSNP/@scottishgreens MSPs or @scotgov legal counsel who are responsible for wasting taxpayer resources on failed laws they should never have made? And when will anybody take any responsibility for the bad decisions they have made? Bravo @ForWomenScot #WeKnowWhatAWomanIs

If @nhsfife board do not demand the resignation of CEO, Carol Potter and Head of Workforce, David Miller (at a minimum) and proceed with the ‘witch trial’ of Sandie Peggie on Friday, then @neilcgray and @JohnSwinney must intervene. If they fail to do so, then they will confirm for all to see, that it is not safe for any woman to work in @NHSScotland #IStandWithSandiePeggie

For all you "live and let live" people: We have now reached the point where a woman was disciplined at work because she objected to a MAN in her changing room. And we're having a TRIBUNAL because that man says he is NOT a man. Grow a spine for crying out loud. #IStandWithSandiePeggie

Look, this from YouGov is all very well, but until they poll BlueSky, how do we know what we should really think?

The only way to save our country is to close the Channel. Labour are scrambling around for a new immigration policy. Tories giving vague chat in capping numbers. We are breaking through. But it’s not enough. Force the rhetoric. Define the policy. petition.parliament.uk/petit…

Competent devolved government?
A runway for London. A football stadium for Manchester. A science corridor for Oxford and Cambridge. Scotland

Are we seriously being expected to believe that it’s OK if Neil Gray remains in his post and doesn’t have to resign? Has he really not broken the ministerial code? If he remains, we really will know that the SNP regime is corrupt.

Well done @wesstreeting for supporting this important cause #WASPI. Oh, wait 🤔🙄
Last week I wrote to thousands of women in Ilford North to pledge my support for the WASPI campaign and today I've signed the #WASPIpledge

The SNP loves per capita statistics. @alexmassie helpfully does the maths for them (on wait times of 2+ years in the NHS, Scotland vs England).

A cynic might conclude this is mostly about positioning to say “we did it first” without actually having to do it. Shona Robison has made an uncosted commitment which doesn’t bite until 2026-27 and probably hopes Rachel Reeves will scrap the 2-child cap at a UK level before then.
On the left: what Scot Gov’s budget says on the 2-child cap. Development of the policy gets funding in 2025-26, not the policy itself. On the right: the Scottish Fiscal Commission cannot disguise its annoyance. More or less says: “Scot Gov playing silly buggers here”

I'm a little confused why it's our duty to challenge predatory, lewd men in the workplace, but it's also our duty NOT to challenge predatory lewd men in the workplace women's lavatories. Perhaps you could advise?

I reject the label of “cis”. I don’t self-identify as “cis”. Using this term makes me feel unsafe and is demonstrative of hatred towards me. Anyone who uses the term “cis” to describe me is a bigot.

We were lied to by Labour before the election. They are not using our money in our best interests. They are actively creating them and us situations that are ripping our country apart. They are unfit to govern. petition.parliament.uk/petit…

#LoopyLorna whinging about the monarchy. The coronation boosted the economy and is less than she will have cost the Scottish Taxpayer in compensation for the failed deposit return scheme.

And Scotland’s version is the SNP’s austerity. You know that Kevin which is why you have turned replies off.
