Lord Advocate responds to Sarwar's accusations by giving hi a kick up the @rse!

In what relevant sense is the UK European? It rejects supremacy of European law, a common customs schedule, European standards, and payments into the community budget. And it doesn't like the idea of Europeans living and working in the UK. Why would we include it? A 🧵

If someone was alleged to have pinched £500,000+ from Labour funding, how likely is it the UK media would try to blame the Labour Party? The answer is, of course, that they wouldn't. Such coverage is specially reserved for one specific Scottish party.

No it will be down to the English voter. Just Vote👇

More political doublespeak

🔴 SCOOP: Wife of Starmer’s comms chief had direct knowledge of Labour Together’s investigation into journalists, documents seen by D4S show Revelation heaps more pressure on minister Josh Simons to explain why he paid a PR firm to dig dirt on reporters democracyforsale.substack.com/p/starmer-al...

This just confirms that if the Unionist party's get the MSP's to form a Scottish Government. They will put what little policy differences they have behind them to form an administration if it means putting the SNP out of power. Maybe not a coalition, but support agreement, memo of understanding etc.

They did say they would work hand in hand with Refkkk, slimy labour trash.

We've been warned...

I remember when Labour used to talk like this.

'The new rules won’t simply mean a longer wait for ILR. They will mean many people don’t qualify for ILR at all and have to leave the country'. @jamesbowes01.bsky.social on the government's earned settlement proposals ukandeu.ac.uk/remigration-...

I'd forgotten about that graphic - I created it so long ago. Still perfectly valid unfortunately.

The BBC Scotland news prog is just awful. So low brow it hurts. If not some ambulance chasing style story then football. It rarely touches business & never compares Scotland with its peers. I watch it now & then just to check if its changed but it hasn't. It's designed for dumbing down.

The EU economic integration is accelerating further and very fast, now in the 6th gear 👇 Unfortunately, the Labour reset for our cooperation has moved from park to 1st gear and now to park again and maybe a little in reverse as well. www.youtube.com/live/cUcNQHJ...

✅ Rail fares: frozen ✅ Peak fares: scrapped ✅ More money in your pocket The SNP is working hard to reduce the cost of living, and this is the latest example.

Well done SNP for working in partnership with doctors rather than calling them names like Wes Streeting does in England www.thenational.scot/news/2584444...

Strike action avoided in Scotland yet again but the English Health Secretary , Streeting doesn’t care about patients and waiting lists in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿Well done the adults in the Scottish govt. Resident doctors in Scotland vote to accept pay offer and avoid strike action www.thenational.scot/news/2584444...

Every time I see a post saying "UK should join Single Market or Customs Union" I marvel at the exceptionalism of this statement. Let alone "we should Rejoin, but not euro or Schengen". You fools. You had it all 10 years ago, you squandered it, now you're cold outside and you still want concessions?

A fietsstraat in the Netherlands, where cyclists have priority and cars are guests. Important to reiterate that this isn’t just a “cyclists have priority” sign you can slap on any street - they’re only used on access roads with very low car traffic, usually only just for residents and access.

I am increasingly negative about the chances of a positive resolution. The fundamentals that led to Brexit are still there - frustration with UKG, anti-Europeanism, poor jobs, ignorance, and populist-fascist voting - with the latter if anything stronger. The UK must change. 1

A £240m defence contract without tender. Their fingerprints all over our health care data. A meeting in the USA but without any minutes. Everything around Palantir stinks. www.thenational.scot/news/2584192...

Do you think so? It seems to me that some (actual or proposed) unions are effective and beneficial, while some are (or would be) unsuccessful. Over history there are examples of unions that worked for a while and later broke apart again. The question is whether any particular union works well or not

So Anas Sarwar denigrates the Scottish NHS, Housing, Child poverty. The very issues where the SNP have bettered the Labour administrations in England and Wales. Compounded with monstering the Queen Elizabeth Hospital issues where Labour councillors on the board of manager hid from the SNP. 1/

BBC News referring to 'Scottish Labour Party' on their caption on Anas Sarwar's news conference. No such entity as 'Scottish Labour Party' Anas Sarwar is Leader od Scottish Labour an Optional Identity Title of a Regional Accounting Unit of the UK Labour Party This is intentional subliminal messaging

Brown regrets Better Together. He knows fine that it is alive and well in 9 Scottish Councils with Labour working together with the Tories they said we needed rid of and LibDems despite us reading Sarwar’s lips about No Deals/pacts/Coalitions!

Whilst you continue to accept this kind of bigotry being displayed by one of your officials I cannot support you or your organisation: bsky.app/profile/qaid...

Gordon Brown has very little integrity in my book. I have not trusted a word he has said since his performance in the now discredited 'Better Together' Independence campaign. He was perfectly at home making promises, yes promises, that he was in no position to guarantee let alone deliver.

Got sent a couple of recent screenshots from "expat" groups in Spain. Pretty amazing stuff. Suffice to say, not only have the lessons from Brexit not been learned, nor Europe's position taken into account, but Europe's latest initiative is being twisted for the exceptionalist agenda A 🧵

"It makes one thing clearer than ever: One standard for those in Westminster, another for the rest of us, particularly if you’re an SNP politician" www.thenational.scot/news/2583434...

Three months until Scotland’s choice. On May 7, vote SNP to choose hope, fairness and real action on the cost of living. Let’s escape the broken Westminster system and choose our own future with the fresh start of independence. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Count to one hundred. New post on my Brexit & Brexitism Blog reflecting on a frenetic fortnight of domestic and international news, the state of the reset, the significance of the latest calls for 'proper Brexit', and the anger suffusing our politics: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2026/02/coun...

Scotland didn't sell their NHS out to Palantir!

Jeane Freeman 1953-2026

Shamefully, even now, BBC Scotland still conceal how Jeanne Freeman’s, unique in the UK, quick action on vaccines saved thousands of lives in Scottish care homes talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2026/02/07/s...

There is such 'hunger' among Europeans to contribute to help Ukrainians through the cold. In NL we just broke through the €300.000 mark but this is next level. Five minutes! Ordinary Europeans stepping in to help Ukraine buy the generators it needs.

The secret Gove Report identified Nicola Sturgeon as the biggest factor in Scotland’s movement towards independence, and “the biggest threat to the union” The uk needed Nicola Sturgeon smeared in order to save their ‘precious union’, and smear they did 🇬🇧 www.thenational.scot/news/2408162....

At a time when support for Scottish independence was at 58%, and after Gove’s secret report into how best to save the union, Op Branchform was instigated Branchform achieved its purpose, to derail progress towards independence, by smearing, undermining and causing division within the YES movement

The difference being the raid on Nicola Sturgeon was a british political take out, as she was perceived as the biggest threat to the british union The 4yr enquiry included investigation into the purchasing of pots, utensils, disposable razors, pens and teabags for use in a campaign campervan

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Compare the 6am raid by 20 uniformed police, multiple police vans & vehicles, and blue tents all over the front & rear garden for 3 days, with a polite ring of the bell by a couple plain clothed officers at a social time of day 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 Also thanks to Sky News for helicopter footage of Nicola’s house

A principled, compassionate lady. Condolences to her family and friends.

We are heartbroken at the loss of Jeane Freeman. We interviewed her many times, including in 2015, in her own home, before she was elected to the Scottish Parliament. www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0Ei...

Absolutely this. If nothing else it shows that not enough people cared enough about joining the EU for it to influence their vote. 70%+ voted for hard Brexit parties in the 2024 GE. That is a very clear signal to the EU and not a positive one.

I am heart sore this morning at the death of Jeane Freeman, a wonderful Cabinet colleague. Jeane gave selfless service to Scotland especially as Health Secretary during Covid. In designing Scotland’s social security system, she put dignity and respect at its heart. (1/2)
