I was pleased to join @mattforde for a special edition of his political party podcast about Humza Yousaf’s resignation and the crisis in the SNP: open.spotify.com/episode/1bLcOX…
The next leader of the SNP must start by telling supporters the truth - the independence dream is over for a generation. my @TheScotsman piece on the fall of Humza Yousaf: scotsman.com/news/opinion/c…
something seriously wrong with our game when you get fined just under 200k for a drainage fault but other teams can sing sectarian bile for years on end without penalty Says it all that UEFA fine them for it but the SPFL don’t shameful

If you come across a sheep lying on its back with its legs up, it is 'cast'. Please be so kind as to tip/roll it back over; if left like this they can die as they cannot get up. Please be kind enough to share.
I hadn’t realised that the procedure the Commons followed on Wednesday is the same procedure that the SNP government use in the Scottish parliament for opposition day debates.
Still, it's lovely to see all those Tories, who laughed and cheered when their leader lied to the Queen and unlawfully prorogued Parliament for political advantage, suddenly rediscover respect for rules and procedures, with such vigour. Or did you think we forgot?
Playground politics in Parliament with shouting Tories and SNP MPs walking off the pitch because they disagreed with the referee's decision owes much, much more to their fury at not being able to trigger a Labour revolt than saving lives in Gaza. Not pretty, not good.
My SNP friends are very angry at me tonight. My view is my view. They know I have sympathy for their cause and try to be scrupulously fair. But today was not about Gaza. It WISH it had been. But it wasn’t. It was playing politics. And it backfired. They got outplayed. That’s all.
A short thread about today. The original motion and all the amendments were about the situation in Gaza. It is unusual on an opposition day, when an opposition party chooses the subject for debate, to have so many amendments.
Today in holyrood: SNP amend Lib Dem opposition motion. Today in Westminster: Labour amend SNP opposition motion. The SNP claim their first is fine but the second is a democratic affront. They are playing games.
But a motion calling for an immediate ceasefire was passed, or was it not really about that?

BREAKING 🚨🚨🚨 Kate Forbes claims Jesus will tell her whether or not to run for SNP leader.
Apparently this is also what got Mandela into politics. Swinney joined the Scottish National Party (SNP) in 1979 at the age of 15, citing his anger at the way in which Scotland had been portrayed by television commentators at the Commonwealth Games.
@ruth_wishart Class, eh?
I've been considering the underlying causes of Humza's departure...and why it's not likely to solve much labourhub.org.uk/2024/04/29/hum…
The problems faced by Humza Yousaf will go on to plague his successor. Whether the right wing of the SNP or the Greens, the nationalists are divided. This will mean yet more chaos for Scotland. This is why we need change.
I know that there’s other things going on, but the untold story of the day is Bramble coming 3rd in this morning’s Holyrood Dog of the Year competition in aid of @DogsTrust. I’m so proud of her. 🐶🐾 🥉
Really worth a listen. Particularly for @euanmccolm advice at end to next SNP leader if they want to be a successful FM: liberate yourself by admitting the another referendum isn’t happening any time soon & reform Scotland without one eye on how it might affect support for indy.

SNP has been a party united under one issue,held together by discipline & ability to ignore other political conflicts while trying to get independence over the line. They failed to do so in 2014 & the issue is declining in salience for most Scots. Hence both chaos & stagnation.
“Independence feels frustratingly close.” Yousaf displaying that keen political judgement that characterised his tenure as First Minister.
If any broadcasters ask Salmond directly whether he accepts that his toxicity could have anything to do with the fact that Yousaf couldn’t work with Alba and hence his inevitable resignation,do let me know? Because at the moment he seems to be getting a complete free pass.
Anas Sarwar calls out Stephen Flynn for his role in Humza Yousaf’s downfall. “Everyone knows where the arm-twisting came from,” the Scottish Labour leader says. “He encouraged the First Minister to go on the front foot. It now looks like he shot him in the foot”
If you think the Tories have masterminded this then I have a garden bridge and a referendum to sell you.

Sadly it’s been happening since the downfall of Sturgeon last year. Salmond was acquitted of criminal acts by a jury,that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t still be accountable for the unacceptable behaviour he *admitted to*. Many others in public life have been exiled for similar.
The rehabilitation of Alex "Sleepy Cuddle" Salmond is happening in front of our eyes and I am deeply uncomfortable with it.
It's been interesting seeing the debate about who should be manager of the year, McInnes, Naismith & Robinson all with strong cases, but for me Tony Docherty shades it: first season up from the Championship; built squad from scratch last Summer and his first season as a manager
@ScottMac_Donald Alan cumming and Brian cox want a word with you…
@idlehound69 @theSNP Polls aren’t showing that.
The first episode of The Wind in the Willows was originally broadcast on this day in 1984. A Cosgrove Hall production, it featured the vocal talents of David Jason, Richard Pearson, Michael Hordern, Peter Sallis and Ian Carmichael.
Scottish Greens are talking a lot about bringing 'progressive values' to the Scottish government, but all they did was greenwash a nationalist administration that was failing on the environment while pushing an insular sovereigntist view of the world. Nothing progressive there.
