Time to pencil in this event. It is promising, and a topic we all should be discussing together! We deserve a better media!

A must read! “What fascinated me most however, was the social context in which it happened. This was a remote corner of Scotland where people from Wick – only half-jokingly – considered those from Thurso, a mere 20 miles away, to be foreigners.”

Funny Angela Rayner saying she’s been cleared by HMRC over her tax manoeuvres … of course she has. She had to pay them £40,000 in unpaid stamp duty. I’m tired of politicians playing saints, and scavenging for positions, money in their pockets than anything else.

It really looks like Sarwar had ‘that conversation’ with Offord … Which one will be the opposition? 📷 Clyde 1

Results day Friday 8th May I'm scheduled to be on live from Bridgend at 10.30, 17.45 and 18.40. Gareth from Llanfair P.G. at 12.30 and 15.00. Hopefully Rob from Swansea at times tbc. Direct link here: . www.youtube.com/watch?v=ks1C...

He should be sued for defamation also … Kerr told STV News that "strangers will be prioritised over local people here in Edinburgh".

An explainer article I publish last week explaining the Adicional Member System in Scotland’s electoral system. In it, if a specific party does very well in the constituency vote, it is much less likely to get a regional seat, so the final vote gets balanced.

A must read if you want to know a few examples of how Trump is profiteering during his presidency.

I think he can say bye bye to his aspirations now as a politician 😆😆

@reformukscotland.bsky.social, Malcom Offord, if you won’t talk about reserved matters, you won’t represent people in Scotland #stvdebate

Oh Anas Sarwar from @scottishlabour.bsky.social stop saying you have experience with NHS! You’ve worked in dentistry, a micro part of the NHS and even so, at your time it didn’t have a fraction of problems compared to the last years! Why don’t you go back to ‘your NHS’ then?! #stvdebate

A must read from @dangoyal.bsky.social! “The only notable manifesto promise is a policy that puts Scottish Labour right alongside Reform, the Conservatives, and their UK Labour counterparts: “Reform NHS funding so that funding follows the patient.” (p.12 Scotland Needs Change)

It baffles me how Trump & Co are not impeached’…and how the world is scared of those that carry the 💰! “Fifty days into the Iran war the world has lost 550m barrels of Gulf crude—nearly 2% of last year’s global output.

I really hope our youngsters go out there and vote, even for those in the senior years of their secondary school with exams just starting!

Those defending Reform, it’s time to wake up. I wonder what Malcom Offord has to say about it. Anas Sarwar pay attention who you do pacts with in order to spoil @theSNP votes… Brilliant reporting!

Lovely people, these Reform UK candidates for the upcoming election, and great to know they're on our side.

#bbcdn I’ve found puzzling why the last question about Scotland’s football was only driven to men in the audience … 🤔

🟨 Print Edition — Farage’s Staggering Side Hustles Nigel Farage has spent more than 1,113 hours – or 140 working days – on his various other jobs since being elected to Parliament in July 2024.

I really hope voters will do their homework properly and open well their eyes! Don't waste your vote, and don't put it on the hands of those that are not only underestimating Scotland's devolution but keen on decreasing certain rights!

Ohh dear Labour…is this how you look after the interests of Scottish people?!

The problem is that Infantino can’t assure anything. How?! I’d love to see the world boycotting this World Cup. A good lesson to FIFA!

A frightening reading! "[...] by 2030, U.S. data centers will consume more electricity than all of the country’s heavy industries—more than the cement, steel, chemical, car, and other industrial facilities put together."

Brilliant news!!
