I’m pointing at a @TimesRadio logo, which must mean I’m on the radio right now. Tonight: 🔵 @Edwina_Currie on Tory defection 🏴 @akmaciver on SNP 🇺🇸 @louiseelisabet on Uni protests 🇷🇺 @Sandbagger_01 on Putin 🩸 @cazjwheeler blood campaign 🗞️ @zoe_grunewald & @eleanormia
This was a very good listen. Substantive, reasonable, well-natured discussion with @Ross_Greer. Completely agree with @akmaciver's comment near the end - if more of our politics was conducted like this we'd be much better of as a nation.

I'm surprised to be writing this (and I know it will be unpopular with some) but actually think RG comes over well here. He's articulate and reasoned. I still disagree with much (obvs) and he's weaker towards end, but in general he speaks well. Worth a listen for SGP inside view.

@HolyroodSources "I didn't really encounter that many people who were extremely opposed to the concept of gender recognition among adults, I think the significant problem comes when you start to deal with children." @akmaciver A measured reply to this from @Ross_Greer though, worth listening to
After a tumultuous week, here are my observations on how we should move forward thenational.scot/politics/24282…
An absolute must listen indepth discussion into events surrounding not just the last few days as Humza Yousaf ended the Bute House Agreement with SGreens, but its also an insightful chat into the workings of the BHA over the last couple of years @geoffaberdein @CalumAM @akmaciver

🆕 Ross Greer, Scottish Green Party MSP You will not hear as in-depth a conversation with a politician at the heart of the story anywhere else. The end of the Bute House Agreement. Votes of No Confidence. Let us know what you think of what you hear. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/hol…

Yes it’s pretty clear. Greens want to bring down Humza but don’t want to being down the government. Key Q is what do they do if those aims collide ie MONC in SG with HY still FM. All explored on @HolyroodSources here: pod.fo/e/2355eb

NEW: Ross Greer from the Scottish Greens implies a change of SNP leader would mean his party could support the Scottish Government in Anas Sarwar's confidence motion. He says they have "absolutely" lost confidence in Humza Yousaf. @CalumAM | @akmaciver | @geoffaberdein

I agree with @Ross_Greer - I think he’d have got that EGM vote over the line. Ironic the existence of the EGM so many weeks ahead played such a role in forcing the SNP’s hand. More on this later today with Ross on @HolyroodSources , in convo with me, @geoffaberdein & @CalumAM

@HolyroodSources "I didn't really encounter that many people who were extremely opposed to the concept of gender recognition among adults, I think the significant problem comes when you start to deal with children." @akmaciver A measured reply to this from @Ross_Greer though, worth listening to
An absolute must listen indepth discussion into events surrounding not just the last few days as Humza Yousaf ended the Bute House Agreement with SGreens, but its also an insightful chat into the workings of the BHA over the last couple of years @geoffaberdein @CalumAM @akmaciver
@CalumAM @akmaciver @geoffaberdein 🎧 Listen to our conversation in full after a tumultuous couple of days in Scottish politics pod.fo/e/2355eb
@HolyroodSources @CalumAM @akmaciver @geoffaberdein @Ross_Greer fair play for going on @HolyroodSources - dont always agree with you but you came across well. More talking to those we don’t always agree with please, it enriches our political process
@akmaciver @heraldscotland Bought a hard copy - agree nothing like it for news like this.
@akmaciver @echcharity @messagetweet 1. What will Labour's majority be? 2. Who's favourite to succeed Humza Yousaf? 3. Where is John Muir Country Park? (Had to Google that one) 4. How many green dummies have been spat? 5. What is Humza Yousaf's political weight-class?
Did Humza Yousaf listen to this from @akmaciver on Tuesday?
@CalumAM absolute shambles! pushed into it by lord aberdeen and lord morningside 😂
@HolyroodSources Was he listening to your podcast yesterday boys?? You called it 👏🏻👏🏻
A wishlist here from Andy. Is this a minor course correction from HY, or a full pivot? Time will tell.
The end of the Bute House Agreement represents an extraordinary opportunity for the SNP to reset, reacquaint itself with the key priorities of voters, and rediscover how to win. Humza Yousaf should take a series of immediate steps 🧵
@akmaciver Also interested to see the outmigration broken down by income (not just on basis that more data is always a good thing)
This is very interesting for this interested in Scottish politics
"They've shafted you on the way in, they've damaged your reputation, and you're going to let them shaft you on the way out as well.'" As the future of the Bute House Agreement is called into question, @akmaciver assesses the relationship between the SNP and the Scottish Greens.
Looking forward to joining the @ScotlandTonight panel later with @akmaciver and @ginadavidsonlbc
@akmaciver @heraldscotland @SalmondSalmond Thank you Andy, great team work all round, Kathleen
Democratic outcomes at Holyrood have been lacking. That much is clear. The big question is how we improve things. In this piece, @akmaciver sets out one idea for reform that’s worthy of consideration: a revising chamber made up of independents. heraldscotland.com/politics/viewp…
Always happy to provoke productive debate. Majoritarian, Westminster-style politics prevails at Holyrood by culture rather than design. There's no good reason why rural MSPs shouldn't caucus together and exert collective pressure over rural issues where they feel SG is going awry
Should rural representatives form a caucus? @akmaciver: "Rural communities should be more bullish about what they have to offer. A little less of, 'please Edinburgh help us' and a little bit more of, 'listen Edinburgh, you better do what we need.'"
🆕 Andy starts a new political party (CLASSIC @akmaciver), Geoff campaigns for something else to be located in Aberdeen (CLASSIC @geoffaberdein) and Calum asks good questions (CLASSIC @CalumAM) Streaming now. pod.fo/e/232185
A thoroughly inspiring evening at the annual @JohnSmithCentre Holyrood reception seeing the best of our country’s aspiring leaders in public service. And great to see some more familiar faces too.
