#holyrood — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #holyrood, aggregated by home.social.

  1. I am, like most non-shitty people, extremely disturbed and upset by the ‘protest’ at #Dover. If I was driving through there I’d be deeply frightened — which, of course, is their intent. The vague statements from Westminster, and apparent silence from #Holyrood, is woeful and equally frightening. We need robust and immediate condemnation of this from all parties and assemblies. #ukpol #racism #WeirdLittleGuys

  2. It is intriguing that an MSP needs multiple MPs from #Labour Central to be able to stand for leadership, but fossiking around in what is publicly available, MSPs or MS (Wales) are not required the other way around.

    Come on MSPs - read the writing on the wall, you (and we) are toast if London gets its chance. Change things unless you want to be London lackeys all your political life (and don't aspire to a place in the HOL)

  3. @RaffKarva @spytfyre Legally, #Holyrood cannot declare #UDI at all. No Unilateral Declaration of Independence in history has ever been legal. It is not a legal action.

    That does not mean it cannot be done.

    But it will succeed only if it is backed by sufficient popular support that the country would be ungovernable by the colonial power.

  4. I hear Lesley Riddoch talking about the number of sitting #SNP MSPs (including cabinet ministers) planning to stand down at the next #Holyrood election. What's going on there? Has #ScotGov become a totally toxic workplace? Are they completely demoralised?

    And if so, what is the party doing about it?
