Husband's English family announce over funeral purvey yesterday that NS is innocent. She handled the pandemic well. Salmond is a tosser and we should be independent. If folk, none of them under 50, in deep bland middle England know this, what's wrong with our yoons?? 🤷♀️
I needed to hear Nicola still speaking in a strong voice, talking to another strong woman away from the abusive shite. The reception of the audience must've been a big hug to them both.
How much more can one woman take. Straight from nonsense polis shenanigans to the covid enquiry. Some horrible, sad bereavements for sure but every wee fanny and dug on the on the street knows that

Yes but you have to be 'in the know' and have quite a lot of time on your hands, pref a blue tick, shitload of followers who laugh at your jokes and a very high opinion of yourself

say that we no longer have to worry about the Delta variant being brought in as it's already here, and reject the FM's advice to only travel abroad if necessary. Poluting air industry playing God again.
My message to psycho trolls, terfs, racists who are exceptionally triggered by our FM...you can have the king (including King Billy) and all the rage/hatred your blood pressure can take. I'll have Scottish independence, ceasefire in Gaza and trans rights. May the best people win.

We all knew this covid inquiry was coming and it would be bad. We didn't know how desperate the yoon media and opposition would be nor how much damage they'd have inflicted on NS and her legacy by the time it came. It's horrible. It will pass but the hypocrisy is awful given 1/
I was trying to avoid naming and shaming, but I may have been over generous to

Labour MSP mentioned above. I see she's a big advocate of Jackie Baillie who most certainly does not express a clear ceasefire preferance, and indy hater Lisa Nandy. I rest my case.
Just back from the rally at Glasgow Green. Organiser asked a few times if we want to march or hear more speakers, then ignored the overwhelming cry to march till the speakers were done. Anyway, something shifted in me at the point of intro of the Labour MSP who
How sad and sickening to hear the Tories clapping away at the heartbreaking speech from Zelensky. Well of course he's going to thank the UK and 'Boris'. They're desperate, but was there ever a govt less deserving of such honours 😟

Sorry. I don't see a misjudgemement. Only dangerous hypocrisy. My mum died yesterday and i couldn't be with her cos i obeyed the rules. Our family can't be together to grieve in the calm rural north east today. Rules only apply to some, it seems. I'm judging Now.

rally as my right to protest and glad that the Glasgow march was big again but if you're with AOUB (I still can't stomach them) please fight back against the rank, divisive speakers and don't let Salmond claim it as *his* movement
What to make of 2 contradictory polls from yesterday 🤷♀️. Too easy to trust or trash depending on what we want to believe. One SOLID fact1; the vast majority of news outlets are rabidly unionist yet look how well Yes is doing, even with the worst prediction. Let's keep going 💪
Blocked by Kaye Adams but, giving her a big benefit of the doubt, she literally doesn't have a clue what she's talking about. She can't, even if she want to, challenge the misinformation conflating women's rights with GRR. Shame on
@BBCRadioScot
for allowing this.
We have a field day for opposition and media coming up with the covid inquiry up here, and despite that we mustn't forget the horrors for victims and families. Neither must we forget the bigger picture that almost brought the country together
@NicolaSturgeon
tried to keep us safe
If you're flirting with the idea that the SNP are corrupt, that we need Labour votes in Scotland to kick the UK govt out, that it's worth never going back to the EU or protecting minorities or uni fees or free personal care just this once...get yer heid out of the sand.
Knowing full well that the media here will promote them as acting independently, while ushering in a full-on unionist govt with all the hideous anti immigration, pro brext punishment it brings. I've written a good few articles for

In 2 weeks KF has gone from 'I'll lead for everyone' to full-on roaring fash-enabling Stop-the-steal bandwagon-jumping far-right shill. Ash always was. If you still can't see it no more polite requests to unfollow...Get The Fuck away from me or immediate block.
Blocked that c*nt Craig Murray, and while I'm remembering my old mum, she'd say 'it's like taking a nail out of your boot' She'd also not be shy about just calling him a cunt
Ruth Wishart is on national yoon radio stating that Humza has stolen Kate's line about eradication of poverty. Talk about trojan horses in the Indy camp!
@ruth_wishart
you need to apologise for that. Do you think Humza doesn't want to eradicate poverty as a priority?
"One SNP MP told the Scotsman the defection was "malicious, but not a surprise, she wasn't going to be selected and has always been a Tory". Just the trash taking itself out.
Calton Hill was a safe space today, not only for diversity but for the right to peaceful protest. Having (too narrowly) dodged a bullet in the SNP leadership race, not only would regressive leadership of indy's elected vehicle diminish that safety 1/
National demo to stop the war in Gaza is in Glasgow this Saturday meeting George Sq 1pm and marching to the SECC where there is a labour party conference. Let's go and tell those arrogant, entitled, useless warmongering fuckers where to stick their 'change'
There's one thing we can be 100% sure of...Yoons and QAlba types trying to kick dirt over Nicola Sturgeon have NOT ONE THREAD of humanity or integrity and never have had. Stop pretending. It's all politically motivated.
is most certainly on the right side of history and no doubt working hard for Palestine, but it leaves me cold to hear that her party intend to vote for a ceasefire in Holyrood. This is smoke and mirrors, a cynical manoeuvre to distance themselves from Starmers while
To be clear, there are likely far more people who lend their vote to the SNP for the sake of a fairer society than there are members. If yous fuck this for us by electing Forbes or Regan I'm 100% sure I won't be alone in withdrawing it. SGP all the way.
promoting cross party cooperation towards a progressive future that would somehow allow at least some of the 30% or so of Labour's indy supporters to a prominent place in the movement. I don't feel that optimism any more. I see a slavish push for power at any cost. Shame on them
Still think that Labour in Scotland is the change we need?

Conflicting polls out again...one puts Yes ahead. One puts Labour slightly ahead here. Believe whichever or none, but trust that they DO clash...if you support Yes you're committing an act of self harm if you vote Labour. They DO NOT NEED OUR VOTES up here to oust the Tories.
If you're essentially a Yes supporter and still think Labour will bring change or that their votes are needed to oust the Tories...time to gie yer heid a massive wobble.

So much hatred Mandy! I strongly suspect that you'd rather see ongoing far right hegemony under the likes of Truss, than indy on this FM's watch. Thankfully there aren't enough of you to make a difference. Decent folk see you.

Have you got that Labour for independence folk? Have you got that Labour for change folk? What about democrats?...got it? What if you're on the cusp from No to Yes? Got it?
Here's another polite request to unfollow me if you still think KF is a good contender for FM now that she's blown her 'for all of Scotland' bs out the windae.
I do wish folk wouldn't give Abla the 'credit' for this. They are a 0.4% irrelevance. She survived the deeply malevolent Salmond enquiry and the nagging vitreol of our national broadcasters
@BBCRadioScot
. Give her more credit than that.
Why are others who voted for GRR not coming forward to defend their position?
@AnasSarwar
? Oh wait, because you don't have a spine and it's much more fun seeing the SG and FM take the fall.
If Labour interfere with our free bus passes will that change the interest in their vote for ove 60s I wonder? Away for a short break to Berwick for £0

What absolute Hipocrisy
@AnasSarwar
. Not only have you piled onto every kicking the SNP is taking, but you've completely backed away from GRR despite initial support. Beyond disgusted at Labour and I'm not alone. You've really NOT got this.

So let me get this right. Labour reps eg

@Neilsocialist
want to distance themselves from Keir's Labour on Thatcher. Same with the ceasefire issue. Thing is, only way you can do this is by independence 🤔. And yet...Schroedinger at play here 😼
Just discovered my MP, Michael Shanks has blocked me. A Labour MP blocking a Socialist tells you all you need to know about that shower. Looks like he isn't interested in representing ALL the people, just the ones who agree with him
To any passing Tories (or other gloating unionists)..sorry to disappoint but the poor showing at the Dundee AOUB rally does not signal the end of the movement. Happily, it signals the demise of the ALBA cohort. Now move on. Nothing to see here.

For those still drooling over 'drain the swamp' conspiracy...this is the complainant. Google him. The man who single handedly brings our movement into disrepute at every opportunity. Also Jim Murphy's egg man during indyref.
Confusing report by
@KathrynSamsonC4
about the 'huge' investigation around 'operation Branchform'. Given the very strong No Comment from the police, how can you suggest that it's 'broadening out'? Could it be that it's embarrassingly petering out?
Is it pique about the role Kate was offered or was it win or bust 🤷♀️. Rural affairs is a spectacularly important role, with 2nd homes issues, land reform etc etc.
