So what you're saying is that Brexit and Scottish Independence are not done deals no matter what dirty tricks you pull or how much you talk over people in an imperial manner?
Well....#Brexit #ScottishIndependance #IndyRef #UKPol #UKpolitics #ScotPol #Colonialism

The wonderful Andrew Tickell (aka #PeatWorrier) has some thoughts on the #PeterMurrell saga, at https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/2059373652961878261.html
I was particularly struck by his comments on the tackiness of some of #Murrell's purchases. Even if Scotland, British class sensibilities problematise such spending from every angle.
I think of a late friend's Scots uber-aristo granny reportedly speaking in the 1950s of "the middle classes — the sort of people who own fish knives".

1918: Ireland elects a majority of Sinn Féin MPs, 73/105, pledged to set up an independent parliament. Westminster ignores Dáil Éireann, then bans it.
2026: #Scotland elects yet another majority of pro-indy MSPs, who vote by 72—55 for a 2nd #indyref. Just as they promised. Within hours, an anonymous Downing Street spokesman says "no". A faceless no.
After 108 years, #UKgov still doesn't get this democracy thing.
Can anyone go to London SW1 with a large #cluebat?

Sturgeon's greedy idiot of an ex-husband, who fucked over her career and aided the British Establishment.
The Establishment love having weak men like that lying around, ideal for bringing people down who threaten the colonial endeavour that is the United Kingdom -

#PeterMurrell pleaded guilty to some charges, and others were dropped.
It's a common outcome. Prosecutors save the cost of a trial. Murrell gets a shorter sentence. Court backlog eased.
But the evidence now remains private. That's unhelpful for #SNP members .
The SNP needs an independent report on how the £600,000 was not ringfenced as promised, and how the motorhome purchase was not spotted. Members need to know why basic oversight failed on big ticket items, and what's the fix.

Rather than relying on a database of words, it'd be better to spread awareness about best practices.
Posting an image of a tasty local craft lager? Tag #alcohol to protect those struggling with addiction. Posting a selfie? Tag #Selfie to help those who get anxiety from eye contact. #USPol, #UKPol, #ScotPol, #AusPol, etc., to help those who are on a break from politics.

A few years ago, there was a trend where some people misspelled the name of a billionaire for some reason, replacing a 'u' with random symbols. It was very frustrating not being able to filter out posts about him.

P. S. Your post didn't come across as disagreeable, at least not to me.

Since #Labour have determined that a GRC is now irrelevant to any gender-specific service or space, can we please have our Gender Recognition Reform bill signed by Chaz, so #trans folk can have the meaningless piece of paper without all the pointless bureaucracy?
Is it just the #transphobia holding you back or is it because the rebellious Scots keep voting for the SNP and @ScottishGreens?

As we maybe get close to another independence campaign, critical pro-independence media is more important than ever. Please support Bella Caledonia’s 20th anniversary fundraiser! #Scotland #ScotPol #ScottishIndependence

@Geri @kkarhan I am assumingLabour won't repeal the GRA or amend the Equality Act beyond the Supreme Court's handiwork, but muddle along with their unworkable policies until removed at the next election.
At that point, all remaining LGBT rights are removed or a #Green-led government restores the EA or Scotland declares UDI.
.
I'll campaign in the election for @ScottishGreens MPsand have a ticket on the ferry to Ireland for the day after the count.

"The Electoral Commission has called for new legal controls over misinformation from AI chatbots, after a thinktank found they had made serious mistakes during the recent Scottish election.
The thinktank Demos said its investigation had found that AI services gave voters misinformation to 34% of the questions it posed"

On Tuesday, the #ScottishParliament elected #JohnSwinney as #FirstMinisterOfScotland.
That's the 5th successive term with an #SNP First Minister.
And it's 23 years since the last election of a #ScottishLabour First Minister: Jack McConnell in 2003.
Labour dominated Scotland for 50 years. When Holyrood was established, Labour was the natural party of government.
Now electing a Labour FM is a fading memory, held by people with greying hair. Labour's colour is turning to sepia.

@radiojammor Yes, this is pretty much what I was suspecting. The #SNP's crazy, selfish, tribal, unpatriotic #BothVotesSNP was really a dagger to the heart of the #ScottishIndependence movement.
They sabotaged #IndyRef2 with 'only SNP votes count to a mandate', and they sabotaged a potentially overwhelming pro-indy majority with 'both votes SNP'.
Tribal politician are the curse of Scotland.

Interesting side note on this question: the percentage difference between list and constituency votes, be party, was as follows:
SNP: 28.63%
Labour: 17.32%
#ReformUKLtd: 5.92%
#Tories: 0.007% <<<<< tribal or what?!?
#LibDems: 17.28%
#Green: -512.9%I'd always had Labour down as the most tribal party in Scotland, but look at those Tories go!

It's worth pointing out that Angus Robertson did not come second behind Lorna Slater, but third, so if @ScottishGreens had not stood in Edinburgh Central, he might still not have won, and indeed #ScottishLabour might have got it.
