  1. It seems from here .....

    That scottish politics is pretty personal - between #Sturgeon and #Salmond, Forbes and Swinney, Ross & #Yousaf - reminds me of childhood, when - in two different eras & parts of the country my father suffered the cross-fire between feuding colleagues - decades later the same thing happened to a brother

    #england may be politically too right-wing, the inhabitants rather selfish - but Scots can brew up bitter feuds over very little, and keep them cooking for years....

  2. #Salmond pone su precio por salvar la piel de #Yousaf: montar un ‘Junts per Escòcia’ las próximas elecciones y que el independentismo presente un candidato único en cada circunscripción. Como eso implicaría garantizar al menos media docena de escaños al partido de Salmond, que en 2022 sacó un 1,6% de los votos y cuya única diputada es una tránsfuga, en el #SNP les han dicho que tururú. Así que, por ahora, el primer ministro de #Escocia perdería la moción de confianza

  4. @russellt It does, aye. And I've said before that if the #unionists want to cause chaos, all they need do is to all nominate as #ScotGovFM which ever of #Yousaf and #Forbes *loses*, because that could split the #SNP block and force onto the SNP a First Minister that the majority in the SNP do not want.

    But either way, the majority of folk in Scotland have no say.

  6. CW: ScotPol; SNP succession

    Listening to this week's #LesleyRiddoch podcast: can it really be right that 70,000 people elect the next #ScotGovFM?

    A #Yousaf #SNP would be a very different beast from a #Forbes SNP. I could vote for the one; I couldnae vote for the other.
