Keir Starmer suggested that the SNP 'want Britain to fail' in a speech at the Labour Party conference.

I have news for you Keir, Britain has failed Scotland for the last 300 years.

If you say that you love our flag, Why not respect those who fly it & stop denying us our democracy?

We're used to seeing Labour in third place in Scotland, bit what's interesting in this new poll is seeing how much the Scottish Greens have gone up on the list vote.

They're matching Labour in third and not far off Reform in second. How good would an SNP 1, Greens 2 in vote share be.

I bet there are many of Ross’s parliamentary colleagues - even tories - who dislike him so intensely they would gladly boot him out of Holyrood even before he steps down for good!

RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history

BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.

I've started writing a book I've been planning for years, a History of Scottish languages. I've just completed the 1st draft of chapt 1 & made a good start on chapt 2. The book will cover Gaelic, Scots, Scottish English, Pictish, Cumbric Norse/Norn, the languages of Scottish Travellers & more.

I could never consider humility with regards to an American. That would be unnatural...especially considering the fact that you elected Trump.

By the way, your President is in Scotland.

This was today.

Just another of many reasons to love the Scots. They don’t suffer fools (or pedophiles)

Usually when you find something appalling you rush to fix it. Unless you're the UK government when you wait for 24 other foreign secretaries to give you cover before making yet another statement.
