This fella is one of the few impressive members of a Parliament which has fallen far from grace. Regularly raising issues of real importance rather than virtue signalling twattery like so many others.
We need a proper national conversation about how we elect the Scottish Parliament.
There's something wrong with a voting system that most people struggle to understand, never mind explain.
Voters should know how their votes translate into seats and who is accountable to them. Is the current system really delivering that?
I'm a list MSP myself, but that doesn't mean I think the system is right or beyond criticism.
The Scottish Greens have learned how to work the system to their advantage. Rather than engage with the argument, they resort to personal insults. Predictable.
No voting system should be a sacred cow. We should be prepared to challenge the way Holyrood is elected and find something simpler, fairer and more accountable to the people of Scotland.

Russian General Ivashov to Putin: “You lost, after all; you didn’t foresee a thing. You didn’t have the wits to realize that the war wouldn’t be some light-hearted operation—just pop in there, strike somewhere, and that’s it, victory.” The easy military operation promised by the Kremlin has completely failed. According to the military officer, the continuation of the war is leading Russia toward total militarization and deep stagnation in all civilian spheres—from the economy and education to culture.
Ivashov emphasized that dragging out the war is destroying the country’s future for the sake of one man’s political survival.
Retired Russian Colonel General Leonid Ivashov, during a live broadcast with Russian blogger Pavel Ivanov, harshly criticized Putin for unleashing a full-scale war against Ukraine, calling for an immediate end to hostilities and a return to the negotiating table. Back in February 2022, several weeks before the full-scale invasion, he openly warned the Kremlin against attacking Ukraine, stating that it would jeopardize Russia’s very existence.

Oil is all important to Russia, because they can't actually make anything that people want to buy
Invadir Ucrania 🇺🇦 fue la peor decisión de Vladimir Putin 🇷🇺.
El Kremlin 🇷🇺 pensó que lograría conquistar Kyiv en pocos días y que después toda Ucrania 🇺🇦 caería, pero la invasión lleva ya 1719 días en curso.
A su vez, Rusia 🇷🇺 invadió Ucrania 🇺🇦 pensando que su territorio seria seguro, pero también se equivocaron: En los últimos diez días, por ejemplo,el ejército ucraniano 🇺🇦 ha logrado atacar siete refinerías rusas 🇷🇺, que son el corazón económico de Moscú 🇷🇺.
La invasión de Ucrania 🇺🇦 fue un error catastrófico.

Unfassbar: aktuelles Bildmaterial vom Hafen von Los Cristianos auf Teneriffa: Sie kommen mit berstend gefüllten Boten, es ist die totale Invasion. Und NICHTS dazu in den Medien. Laut Auskunft des Reisepass kontrollierenden Beamten wiederholt sich dieser Vorgang ein bis zwei Mal pro Woche, berichtet mein Freund, der dort urlaubt. Auf seine Frage, ob die Pässe der Afrikaner kontrolliert werden, hat er nur frustriert gelacht. Unter den Menschen nicht eine einzige Frau, kein Kind. Europa begeht Selbstmord. Und sie versuchen ihn mit aller Macht geheim zu halten. Aufwachen!

If this Government is so keen on reparations, will it seek them from Pakistan for the victims of grooming gangs?

Indeed…….Otherwise what is Scotland ? What is any nation if it’s open to anyone and everyone here for five minutes or five years, to decide how we are governed. Maybe of course it’s part of the open borders globalist one world agenda 😉

While the BBC and the rest of the legacy press keep pushing the same open-borders fairy tale, ordinary Brits are waking up.
Follow her. She is saying out loud what millions of British people already know but are told they are not allowed to say.

November is Islamophobia Awareness Month.
So I just wanted to say:
I hate Islam and I will forever be against Islam and Sharia.
Be aware.

For the benefit of the clowns on the west coast claiming he “didn’t touch him”. Facts are he’s lunched in out of control, foot is high and studs land directly on an opponents leg. Everything about it is a red card. The shirt he’s wearing saves him.

Zelenskyy is now officially accusing the U.S. under Trump of helping Russia in the war against Ukraine—This betrayal will never be forgotten.
I stand with Ukraine.

Scotland is a small corner of a small island, and the native Scots are a true global minority 🏴👇🏻
Absolute land area:
👉🏻 Scotland: 77,900 km²
👉🏻 Africa: 30.37 million km²
👉🏻 China: 9.33 million km²
👉🏻 India + Pakistan: 3.74 million km²
Africa is ~390× larger than Scotland,
China is ~120× larger, and
India + Pakistan is ~48× larger.
Absolute native population:
👉🏻 Scotland: ~4.5–5.0 million
👉🏻 India + Pakistan: ~1.74 billion
👉🏻 Africa: ~1.59 billion
👉🏻 China: ~1.41 billion
India + Pakistan has ~350× more natives than Scotland, Africa has ~320× more natives, and China has ~280× more.
If we don’t protect Scotland’s land and native people now, we will be the last generation to know what it means to be Scottish 💔
It's Scotland's oil, keep it under the seabed.
Scotland is paying the price for Westminster control.
ALT Comparison graphic showing Norway and Scotland's energy wealth: Norway, labeled as independent, has a £2 trillion wealth fund, while Scotland, labeled as Westminster controlled, has £0.00 in its wealth fund, emphasising that both nations are rich in energy but only one controls its wealth.

Trump will say this is " fake " news.
The Russians tortured 500 people in Bucha.
The Russians tortured children in Bucha.
The Russians tortured dogs in Bucha.
The Russians killed animals in Bucha.
In Bucha, the Russians used military vehicles to hunt people—turning it into a game.
People ran, the Russians fired, they hunted them down, playing games.
And this didn’t just happen in Bucha.
Trump and his mafia gang call this "humanitarian."
What do you call it?
