“I was brought up that you didn't speak ill of the dead. But if you're going to speak ill of the dead, at least make your claims accurate.” Geoff Aberdein describes claims about Alex Salmond in Nicola Sturgeon’s memoir as: “Falsehoods at worst, fabrications at best.” youtu.be/ghXZOacS4jI

@kateforbes.bsky.social’s news is, in my view, simultaneously bleak news for Scottish politics and government, and good news for Kate and her family. Our instantaneous reaction, on @holyroodsources.bsky.social , is streaming now. Geoff Aberdein | @calumam.bsky.social

Enjoyed hearing First Minister @johnswinney.bsky.social and Scottish Labour leader @anassarwar.bsky.social speak at @holyroodsources.bsky.social podcast live tonight in Edinburgh. Calm, long-form interviews like this tend to work well.

The Reform-focused strategy backfired, but there's no reason to think an indy-focused strategy *when their is no clear route to independence* would work better. As Geoff Aberdein put it on @holyroodsources.bsky.social, they need to provide more carrot and less stick, focusing on material concerns.

Labour voters support an SNP-Lab coalition more than a Lab-Tory one & roughly as supportive of an SNP-Lab coalition as a Lab-LD one. Most SNP voters would support an SNP-Green coalition & they're far more supportive of that than an SNP-Lab/LD one. Data via Survation & @holyroodsources.bsky.social

@holyroodsources.bsky.social interview with Martyn Greene, Reform UK's Scottish Campaign Director. The main takeaway I got from the interview, was they're planting a flag now, and then working out their 'Scottish policies' and candidates in time for the 2026 SE. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kg-N...
