Feral tom cat we call Smokey hasn’t been seen for several days…usually drops by for a meal…not lately…he’s disappeared like this before so this could just be another of his adventures/romances…but, life is tough for country cats who don’t trust humans…

John Swinney seems to think that shouting louder confers added legitimacy.

2026 is not 2011. Not only is the cast different, but instead of a PM who expected victory in a referendum, we have one who constantly says there will not be another. Time to ditch the begging bowl.

How about a bit of urgency finishing that job?

John Swinney @johnswinney.bsky.social · 1d

Arrived in Aberdeen for #SNP25.

This conference is about Scotland’s future - and who gets to decide it.

Together, let’s finish the job. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Strikes me that President Trump v President Xi is something of a catchweight contest that the US is unlikely to win.

I've watched countless Scotland games where we played quite well but got stuffed. Last night we were second best to Greece but somehow won. Happy to accept final score!

Don't be scared is fine. But also remember to take him on at every opportunity.

It's a political curiosity that the English media thought John Smith resembled a douce bank manager-which he assuredly was not. Yet the same label could reasonably be attached to the SNP's John Swinney.

Getting ready for Scotland v Greece tonight. Strip washed and ironed, pal coming in straight from work, all fingers and toes crossed. I'd like to say what can go wrong, but then again this is Scotland.
