  1. @naefool @Cyclist The BBC's ScotPod were suggesting not-very-seriously last night that he might stand in either Stephen Flynn's or Stephen Gethins' seat; and I was thinking that if he did that and promised, if elected leader, to transfer power to hold #IndyRef2 to #Holyrood, it might well be a good thing all round.

  4. @otfrom @kathimmel as I replied to @drgeraint, that's a good strategy provided they have no plans for #ScottishIndependence. If they want an #IndyRef2, though, they need leverage at #Westminster, which ad hoc policy-by-policy deals won't win them.

  5. @drgeraint this is true. But they won't get an #IndyRef2 that way. The reason I think the SNP *should* bring #ScottishLabour into government is that by throwing a few plums to them in terms of ministerial jobs they could get serious pressure applied to #Westminster to get the referendum agreed.

    Mind you, I suspect #Swinney doesn't really want another indyref anyway, and that that is what was behind the stupid 'only SNP votes count' nonsense.

  6. We all know that #ScottishLabour are much closer to the #SNP on policies than they are to #UKLabour. So would it be a good thing for Scotland if SNP/ScotLab were to agree a coalition deal in which:

    1. ScotLab would support the call for #IndyRef2, but would not necessarily campaign for #ScottishIndependence and
    2. ScotLab would get the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, with a remit to nationalise Scotland's buses?

  13. Undemocratic #UK Government refuses to engage after #indyref2 inquiry

    UK Government has been branded “fundamentally #undemocratic” after flatly refusing to engage with Holyrood committee report on route to 2nd #independence #referendum

    It's a #democratic outrage #Westminster continues to deny #democracy to people of #Scotland – these are NOT actions of a healthy state

    Trump: “There was a little bit of a restriction like 50 or 75 years before you could take another vote because, you know, a country can’t go through that too much"

    Responding to comments, actor Brian Cox told Sky News: "He’s talking bollocks. I’m sorry, but he does. It’s rubbish. Let’s get on with it and let’s get it [independence] done. We can do it.

  23. A short 🧵 triggered by the recent publication of two contradictory #opinionpolls measuring support for #ScottishIndependence.

    They reminded me of my reaction to the response of, I think, Alister Jack, to the Supreme Court decision on the holding of an #independencereferendum. In essence, he said no referendum till at least 6 months’ worth of polls showed over 60% support for independence 1/
