Arrived in Aberdeen for #SNP25.

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

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

And they will unironically defend him hearing this.

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!

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.

Just watched the Frost/Nixon documentary on Sky. You can see from where Trump got his Presidential immunity text. Hopefully Trump will meet a similar end too.
