For future reference folks, this was the Glasgow Christmas lights switch on ceremony in George Square tonight.
13,000 tickets were sold.
Just in case you ever find yourself debating crowd sizes 😉

Tomorrow’s @Sunday_Mail: Scottish Greens in cash for access scandal. They’ve been offering access to parliamentarians - including ministers while in Government - in exchange for payment.

Just three in ten voters feel favourably towards under-fire John Swinney and most Scots believe the SNP Government is not performing well in 13 key areas, poll reveals

Shona Robison is asked by @murdo_fraser about her claim that independence would have delivered higher public spending in Scotland.
Robison gives an improvised answer (usually she reads from a script) which is a torrent of nonsense, having nothing to do with the question.

If Scotland is ever on the cusp of independence, GERS figures like today’s would see grown up nationalists accepting austerity is inevitable, and explaining why painful sacrifices will be worth it. Nobody did this today, because they know support is too fragile to bear the truth.

Calamitous FMQs for John Swinney. Immediately after his extraordinary decision to back Michael Matheson, he repeats the thoroughly debunked claim that 100% of electricity consumption in Scotland is from renewable sources. This is unambiguously false.

1/ John Swinney’s integrity.🧵
TLDR: Swinney fails to address a false statement to parliament until it’s too late to correct the Official Report.
On 23rd May 2024, Swinney repeated the false claim that 100% of Scotland’s electricity consumption comes from renewable sources.

Column: The SNP have reaped the whirlwind sown by their own arrogance. This is, let us be frank, extremely satisfying.

John is right, Scotland doesn’t deserve people like Hannah Bardell squatting in important public positions.
Good riddance.

Iona Fyfe in The National repeats the lie all Nats have agreed to tell.
The reality: the average for Yes in the last 20 polls is 43%. And that is with them getting the positivity bias of the 2014 question. And, of course, the fact that opinion polls are consequence-free.

Did I just imagine 65% of votes going to pro-UK parties in the SNP’s “defacto referendum”?

How similar the SNP are to the Tories. They all hate each other and demand a new leader every year, the reason being they have completely run out of talent and purpose.
The SNP should be consigned to history.
This is the next “party” that the electorate needs to sort out once and for all.
They are a complete fraud. They know that by focussing on independence and sexual politics they are preventing at least half of Scotland from voting on Green issues and they could not care less.

“She talked about her party as if she no longer belonged to it, referring to it as ‘they’ rather than ‘we’ as if expecting the public to forget the key role she has had. But then, it’s amazing what a poor set of results will do to one’s sense of self.” holyrood.com/editors-column/…
