If it’s that safe maybe Jackie Baillie would like to take part in the trial. She’ll have to give up on the sausage rolls as diet is important too.

TalkingUpScotland exposes yet more of a truculent Westminster holding back Holyrood's progressive policies. A truculence echoed by shameless unionist MSPs like, Baillie, Wells and Cole-Hamilton.

It occurred to me listening to the english PM congratulating Scotland on WC qualification: how much lobbying of FIFA by WM has it taken to keep them from insisting on a single uk team? 4 teams from 1 ‘country’ just doesn’t make sense.
A single team would end the union faster than any referendum.
It’s so interesting how people view Scotland, especially at times like this.

Scotland a country! Recognised across the world as such, in a variety of international competitions.

We are ‘allowed’ to be a country when it suits, just not an independent one!

Flu season has started early and it may turn out to be a particularly bad year for flu going by the data for the Southern hemisphere's flu season.
Thankfully the Scottish Government has acted quickly by increasing eligibility for the flu jag in Scotland.

A Labour Minister who’s party didn’t even try to deliver its policies and whose PM broke every promise he made criticising any other party is beyond the pot calling the kettle black.

1. This is a thread on freedom, and how easy it is to lose.

Over the past 2,000 years in Europe, there have been few periods and places of freedom. For much of the time we lived under highly oppressive tyrannies of various kinds, whether small or grand, local or imperial, secular or religious.🧵
