Humza Yousaf’s biggest mistake spectator.co.uk/article/humza-…
Crikey. This is quite a read. And a long one! The fallout from last week in the Greens might not be front and centre right now but things are clearly not okay behind the scenes,even if the allegations of the rebels aren’t accurate. heraldscotland.com/news/24283157.…
It was great fun meeting with Anna Wells and finding out how the Invernessian became the first woman to climb all 282 Munros in one Scottish winter. She has been fascinated with these challenges since she was a youngster and talked about how she did it! pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/6…
I wrote about the repressive Iran regime last Saturday. Now reported that Toomaj Salehi, a famous hip hop star with over 2 million followers, has been sentenced to death for backing the Mahsa Amini protests in 2022. Executed for supporting women’s rights. They truly are barbaric.
Video 🧵 on Scottish Greens presser confirming they will vote against Humza Yousaf in a VONC - “you can expect a lot more drama”
If I was Ash Regan, I’d just have a laugh with my demands. 1. Humza must buy an Ibrox season ticket and be photographed every week in the home kit 2. Angus Robertson has to dress as a duck and must quack in response to all ministerial questions 3. Bring back Take the High Road
It was a privilege to interview Sir Michael Palin today and discuss a wide range of subjects. It also offered a pleasant diversion from a lot of the Monty Python antics which pass for Scottish politics these days!
It was a pleasure to talk to Aberdeen DJ, Graeme Park, about his memories of being a pioneer of house music and working at the fabled Hacienda. But Graeme lost his teenage son to cancer a year ago and has become an ambassador for Sarcoma UK! pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/6…
Good points from @lucyidunn A strong leader would have recognised last year the need to signal a clean break from the Sturgeon era and set out a clear path to something very different, but Humza seems to lack those fundamental leadership qualities.

If Humza's "white" speech wasn't racist, why has Holyrood amended the official record so that it's actually different from what was actually said? North Korea has nothing on this lot. scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/comment/holyro…
Arrested at 74 years old due to Humza Yousaf SNP Hate Crime Laws Arrested, taken to station in the back of Police van, searched, questioned in an interview room and the released without charge after asking 4 questions that could have been asked in her home Link to video below
It felt like Rob’s birthday was today but apparently it’s tomorrow? I am posting now because it’s April 14th in Wrexham and I’ll bet people are still up! Happy Birthday, @RMcElhenney, and LFG, @Wrexham_AFC!!! Thanks to @Vistaprint & @TyPawb
I have just received the following ‘reponse’ from @PoliceScotland to my letter of 4th April seeking clarity on their confused policy on recording non-crime hate incidents. It answers NONE of my questions. Utterly ridiculous.
So the immediate consequence of the Hate Law passed by the Numpty Nursery (aka Scottish Parliament) is to generate a year’s worth of hate crime reporting in one week. Yip. One week. Well done, chaps.
The Greens are embarrassing the SNP spectator.co.uk/article/the-gr…
VisitScotland is scrapping its Quality Assurance scheme which gives three, four and five stars to accommodation outlets and visitor attractions across the country, including nearly 900 in the NE and Highlands. I thought we were trying to bolster tourism! pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/6…
EXCL: 74-year-old woman arrested at her home and taken away in police van due to ‘malicious’ hate crime report. Comes amid flood of complaints after introduction of controversial new Scottish laws. By @DougScottishSun thescottishsun.co.uk/news/12470948/…
We asked Police Scotland today if the force is still following its own Hate Crime National Guidance, and why (at least some) hate incidents are being recorded (or not) according to the force’s perception, not the perception of the complainer They refused to answer either Q

@KennyFarq @thetimes You may underestimate how Presbyterian Scottish culture is, regardless of the avowed beliefs of any leader. I’d put a paradoxical bet on Kate Forbes being more liberal and tolerant in practice than the Sturgeon-Green-Yousaf troika has been (in reality vs messaging)
Today’s Scottish Daily Mail kicks off its coverage of the Fall of Humza with a blistering piece of writing from @afneil. Highly recommend reading it.
If it ends up being John Swinney v Kate Forbes, it’s Groundhog Day; another battle between those who backed Humza Yousaf and those who wanted a total overhaul of the SNP. Swinney keeps being described as a safe pair of hands. It wasn’t enough 20 years ago and it’s not enough now!
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…
Can’t beat a wee trip to Ski Dubai
As it’s the last night my sister is here we had to visit the pub quiz again. The duck breast was delicious and we all had a great evening. I’m at the airport tomorrow so we can have a coffee airside together before her flight.
@AgentP22 Why do they think that her religious belief will influence her political judgement and that Humza Yousafs did not ?
@AgentP22 I will believe that when I see it. Though isn’t it funny that somehow a moral Christian woman isn’t deemed suitable for the post. Yet if it’s someone who holds the current sleaze ridden values then that’s ok. Something is totally fkd up about that idea.
@CollinRugg This is out of control. They have the right to protest. Not the right to restrict movement. To restrict another's freedom to movement. This is beyond protesting. And somebody will get hurt. Arrest these people. Gloves off.
@Erudite4Unity @_KateForbes I think Kate Forbes would be one of their most formidable and best choices. I hope they don’t choose her. Much rather they picked someone that will keep them sinking 🤗
@Erudite4Unity @_KateForbes I heard her pearls of wisdom. It’s rather disrespectful to assume that a politician cannot have personal religious beliefs but deliver policies that are contrary to it. Imagine if we had a Muslim FM !
He's right, but he's still holding back. I suspect deep down he knows there's no reasoned case for becoming the first part of any advanced economy to cut itself away from it's in-place currency/monetary base, tax/fiscal base while creating a trade border with your biggest markets
An SNP MP has claimed Humza Yousaf was wrong to say independence is 'frustratingly close' in his resignation speech 🗣️ 'Significant political and intellectual hurdles remain, and we can’t keep pretending otherwise'
Some sincerely oppose Kate Forbes because of her faith. Others, in what we might call the professional SNP, use this as cover. What really worries them is the prospect of a leader who demands results. They’ve been coasting for years. Forbes would mean shaping up or shipping out.
On train to London. Sitting opposite two ladies and I remarked their little 2 year old (I’m guessing) boy was super cute and looked so lovely in his outfit. They promptly told me their child was non binary and hadn’t decided what it wanted to be yet🤦🏻♀️It’s going to be a long trip
Regardless of who emerges as the next SNP leader, surely the 'one more heave' pretence and operating as if another ref is just around the corner is now, finally, dead and buried, right?
Just wanted to add, we are allowed to disagree! This is just a discussion thread. We don’t need any bad language or name calling. It is a discussion which I would like everyone to hold in a civilised way so we can all learn from each other’s points of view.
I don’t do politics very often on here as it guarantees you are going to annoy half of your followers! So for a bit of balance let’s do a post which has the potential of annoying everyone! (That’s a joke by the way, so don’t take it seriously!). The awful Rwanda policy forced…
