Easing the transition (if I can usually that word) from a social platform run by a multi-billionaire lunatic, over to what I think & hope will be a better environment. Expect the usual sweary rants about politics & especially Scottish independence however!
Totally confident that the #MSM in #Scotland will be asking #AnasSarwar for his take on the #benefitcuts, I mean #welfarereforms proposed by #Labour, as I'm sure he'll be very vocal in his opposition to them! Aye, that'll be fucking right!

To the 400 highly skilled workers at the #Grangemouth oil refinery who've received redundancy notices, please don't worry as #AnasSarwar has promised to save your jobs using his power & influence in the #Labour Party! Maybe you'll get an even better job with #GBEnergy & £300 off your energy bill!

Here's #BrianLeishman, the #Labour MP for Alloa & #Grangemouth, who was also duped by the lies of #AnasSarwar, who lied about saving the jobs at the Grangemouth oil refinery! He's even more ineffective than his boss! #BBCSundayShow #TheSundayShow

Pensioner poverty in the world’s sixth largest economy is a political choice
The hardship inflicted on retirees now will surely visit future retirees unless steps are taken to alleviate misery.

I assume that as #Biffa have been allowed to sue the #Scottish Government over the failed #depositreturnscheme, the Scottish Government will also be allowed to sue the #UK Government?

After 7 months, & the only discernible #growth being in #energy costs, consumer goods prices, illegal #immigration, #MP expenses, hypothermic #pensioners, wages of train drivers & the lies of politicians, are the people who voted #Labour now bitterly regretting this #change?

A very clear & confident performance from #JohnSwinney. The epithet 'honest John' given by Opposition Parties, has backfired spectacularly, as it has been clearly demonstrated as being a positive rather than a negative, as they had hoped! #BBCSundayShow #TheSundayShow

Dear #Labour, can you please send me a copy of your own report that estimated that over 4000 #pensioners will die as a result of freezing this Winter, & especially the removal of the #winterfuelpayment? Particularly as the #MSM is going bananas about the freezing weather in the #UK!
