No wonder there's such long waiting lists for NHS dentistry in England - if they can get registered with a practice, let alone an appointment. Thank you Scotland 😊

Alan Cumming has said it 'blows my mind' to see ministers in London 'interfering in what the democratically elected people have decided to do' in Scotland 👇 🔗 www.thenational.scot/news/2...

Reform UK Ltd gets 92% of its funding from climate change deniers and fossil fuel corporate interests, provoking negative reactions.

😮😮 Just picked this up in a FB post from one of the local SNP groups. First I've heard of "Kilts". The accompanying comment to the post says: "Very very interesting!! S&P and Moodys ratings are excel at assessing world ecenomies fiscal standing".

Love it - according to Trump/White House it is all a hoax and the President has done nothing wrong. FOTFL 🤣🤣 Queue rising panic - no doubt threats of suing left, right and centre. The lawyers must be rubbing their hands on glee!

🚨 Breaking: Our latest investigation reveals that Labour’s move to bring the PFI-style model back has followed intense lobbying from companies that operate PFI contracts + from major construction firms. We can’t let history repeat itself. Read full report here👉 everydoctor.org.uk/talking-poin...

We’re calling for the UK Government to implement a Social Tariff which could reduce energy bills by up to £700 for those who need it most. 💚⚡️

I wonder if a variation on a theme of # Dirty Old "Town" might start trending 🤔

I wonder why? Glad I'm not going to be around in the years ahead when the cumulative effect of all the emissions become inescapable.

Wonder what his current child bride thinks of all the details that are coming to light?

So ......... how will Trump's supporters deal with this? Although I imagine many might know but would still vote for him.

Just dropped into my email in-box. Haven't picked it up on here yet so no detail (unless someone else has): www.thenational.scot/news/2561656...

Neil Young is 80 ?😮. Makes me feel really old - but still younger than him (just 😊). Loved his stuff in my "wild' youth (and still do).

The fun event of the week about to start shortly - FMQs. Won't be watching the BBC's "tailored" version tho' - prefer the watching Scot Parl TV full unadulterated version on line free of the pre and post BBC managed commentary 😊 (you get to see the bits at the end that BBC cut short).

😮 The cynic in me is tempted to hope the motivation behind this is genuine and not just a gimmick. If genuine I would love also to see the start level for income tax raised accordingly.

Wow ! 😊😊

Anas Sarwar is sounding more and more desperate by the hour in his attempt to find something, anything against the SNP !

About time.

"David Cameron in larval form" 😂😂😂

MSPs are set to consider an expansion of free bus travel, which has provided more than 250 million journeys since its introduction

In Scotland, we're working hard to undo the damage being inflicted by Labour in Westminster.

Think he's got a point ! Good to see the SNP and Plaid notching up a few more. Mind hopefully we'll not be bothered about WM seats for too much longer 😊

I hope STV can be persuaded to change tack 🤞 Where else would we get reliable local news from? BBC Scotland would have a field day telling us what they think we should know/want to see.

That's the face of a worried man - and so he should be.

If the same is being reflected in Scotland, and with the Greens here generally supporting Independence, whilst I can see where John is coming from with both votes SNP, excluding the Green vote will not reflect the true picture in Scotland.

Interesting to see that Wales is being farmed for energy for England now as well as is Scotland. What is England going to do with all this extra power - presumably another AI centre or two or el cheapo household energy on the backs of the Celtic nations? Watch out N Ireland - you could be next.

With all the mad ill thought out ideas Trump keeps coming up with he's doing a sterling job of decimating human life in the US - and the rest of the world as well if someone doesn't stop him.

How long till Trump blames WM for anti-US action in retaliation for the BBC b***s up?

The right can mock my teeth all it wants – it shows the Greens have struck a nerve | Zack Polanski As a politician, I expect opposition and debate. But when it centres on personal insults, not policies, something else is going on www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

He’s not registered to practice dentistry in Scotland. Another lie.

Among those laying wreaths today was Graham Wilton, in Huddersfield, northern England. His son James was just 18 when he was killed in a drone account while volunteering in Ukraine straight after finishing college. #RemembranceDay

❤️🎯

What a legacy is being left to future generations (if they survive) 😡😡

Big brother keeping a close eye on Scotland.

Independent Scotland will be better, in myriad ways. Spread the word.

What corporation is being referred to? I thought a "corporation" is some sort of a business - how can it be a political or governing party? Martin Guissler has changed a lot in character since his Sunday programme ................. 1/2

Worth noting that the U.S. has a specific law (the SPEECH Act) that means foreign libel judgments are unenforceable in U.S. courts. They do like a bit of hypocrisy.

I remember BBC Scotland spicing together SNP politicians speeches to mis represent aka 'Trump' It was common, so went looking and surprise, surprise nowhere to be found. Somebody has seen this coming at BBC Scotland and done a data dump. Does anybody have an example in their archive Help appreciated

So much new stuff going on today that I've not even shown the daily figures. Let me correct that now. Just over 1000 more Russians sacrificed for Tsar Putin, but nothing spectacular to report here.

Day 1357 is underway. Every single day I bust a gut to bring all the important war news together in one place. Fact-checked and using my contacts, knowledge and experience of Ukraine to compile THE best thread and still going, because Ukraine needs us! Coffee needed please!🙏

What Alyn doesn't point out is that the SNP were always the most popular party, but they were kept out of power because the 𝗧𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 propped up a 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗿 minority. Not a unique situation in Scotland by any means.

Oh dear - fearty Offshore Solutions Group have got cold feet at the prospect of being confronted by less than happy Highlanders !

Nice one Stirling 😀 No wonder Sarwar wasn't looking happy in TV interviews this-evening.

Scotland has a record 4000 firms paying staff the real Living Wage, with John Swinney suggesting this is 'five times' the level the UK has proportionately
