"Throughout #Murrell’s time at the top, his control was total yet trust in his stewardship was ebbing away. Trust in the SNP will not be regained by the exercise of more control...
#Swinney could surprise supporters and critics alike by acting to higher democratic standards and volunteering to submit to independent, external scrutiny" -- oor Lesley Riddoch writing in @TheNational

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.

@HI_Greens @bodhipaksa Well, three years? Not much has changed except a somewhat larger pro-indy majority, and the SNP kicked us out of government. And #Labour at Westminster.
But you were suggesting that #Swinney has been strategising about indy since he was 15. Not sure that the last couple of years could have magically presented a solution.
Not wanting to put a damper on things, but I don't see the strategy, except a rerun of Catalonia or straightforward UDI.

@drgeraint and how is that going to help? The #SNP won just NINE seats under #Swinney's leadership at the last #Westminster election; it will very likely lose two of those this summer in by-elections; and unless he plays an absolute blinder he'll lose a couple more at the 2029 election, to #ReformUKLtd.
How's he going to achieve anything with five MPs? They're lost in the noise.

@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.

@petealexharris I don't think the @ScottishGreens will go into coalition with the #SNP unless the #SNP make a very clear commitment to stick to their #ClimateChange targets -- indeed, I would be very disappointed in them if they did -- and I do not think #Swinney's SNP are prepared to make that commitment.
So I don't think a deal with the Greens is likely to be possible.
(Obviously, I personally would prefer an SNP/Green coalition).

John #Swinney seeks meeting with #UK Govt over #Prestwick #Airport
Philip Ingram, former army colonel & intelligence officer, told Sunday Mail Prestwick Airport will “almost certainly” be supporting #US & #Israel's #bombing of #Iran
Flight tracking data shows when the US and Israel first launched #strikes on Iran – the US redeployed scores of mid-air refuelling tankers to bases in Europe and the Middle East

John #Swinney tells #Scottish media to ‘be livid’ over #referendum block
The Scottish media should be “livid” at the UK Government’s refusal to spell out the #democratic route to a second #independence referendum, the First Minister has said.
John Swinney gave his “advice” to reporters in the Scottish press pack as he faced questions on his party’s strategy going into the #Holyrood #elections – which will be held on May 7.
