  1. theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/s. John #Swinney has stopped short of agreeing to a moratorium, has he, @ScottishGreens, @HI_Greens, @maggiechapman? Well, if the #SNP are Hell-bent on #political #suicide, refusing to put a stop to #datacentres in #Scotland seems like one way of doing it. Mr Swinney had better change his mind - fast!

  6. Listen to this from Mark #Carney. #Canada is not ashamed to source its new icebreakers -- and their equipment -- from Canadian suppliers, supporting workers across Canada and keeping money in the domestic economy. What could #Swinney's #ScotGov learn from this?

  7. So a total of £1,0060,000 has gone missing from SNP accounts?

    £400k by Murrell and £660k supposedly for a referendum, but spent on other stuff...

  8. Ex-MP #JoannaCherry is a v sore loser.

    She has left the #SNP, and has a lucrative career as a KC, but 2 years after Parliament she still seems to put a lot of energy spraying venom on her former colleagues in the SNP, esp #Sturgeon & #Swinney.

    This is a consistent pattern in Cherry's politics: all angry negative. Bitter about Brexit, bitter about SNP, bitter about #trans people.

    screenshot from scotsman.com/news/politics/joa, which includes video of a 45-min interview with Cherry.

  9. @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.

  10. No 2nd Scottish #referendum says #Streeting

    #ToxicLabour

    Streeting said UK Govt will not “give” people of #Scotland referendum on #independence

    He refuses to give the people of Scotland the #democratic choice to decide country’s future

    #SNP leader and First Minister John #Swinney warned that the UK Government “can’t stand in the face” of Scottish independence if the SNP are voted back into power in the Holyrood elections in May
