Look out for much more of the same leading up to the election.
So the 'MSP bugged' story turns out to have been nothing more than an employment dispute with no covert devices involved. The lesson here is to treat every SNP smear story with suspicion until the actual facts are revealed.

It IS our war. We made a deal with Ukraine that if they gave up their nukes, we’d protect them from Russia.

The restriction on Jury Trials is so people who commit relatively minor crimes against the Government can simply be declared Guilty, without having to go in front of a jury who would likely find them Not Guilty.
That is all it is about.

As John says, SNP 1&2 hands the Unionist multiple List seats. Please don't do this. Vote as follows -
SNP - Your Constituency candidate
Scottish Greens - Regional List
We could get 90/129 Indy MSPs.
Leaving the 4 or 5 Unionist parties to get 5-6 seats each.

Another myth exposed.
It is ludicrous to suggest that an Independent Scotland would not be able to afford pensions, When smaller nations like Ireland can.
(Oohh & once we rejoin the EU, Pensions will be brought into line with other EU nations, Substantially higher than the UK)

Just five months ago, Reform UK ran for election, pledging to 'lower council tax' and 'say no' to increases. In power, Reform UK has implemented a 4.99% council tax increase for the 2025-2026 financial year, the maximum allowed.

Anas Sarwar asked questions on housing at FMQs today.
Never forget that in Labour’s last term in office in Scotland, they only managed to build a grand total of SIX council houses in four years.
Labour cannot be trusted to deliver on housing.

Par for the course.
Cooper, by ignoring repeated requests for a meeting, also ignores those of us who elected the Scottish Government and treats us with the same contempt.
To then put up a UK junior minister to “meet” with a Scottish Cabinet Secretary is just rubbing our noses in it.
