This is Samuel Corner, sledgehammer raised, ready to strike the police woman lying at his feet, arm held out in a vain plea for mercy. Samuel Corner is not a martyr nor a "young activist", he's just a common-or-garden thug.

What a treat in Glasgow to see saltires waved and worn for the joy of sport and companionship instead of it used by endless varieties factions of political signalling. So nice to have it back belonging to everybody for a few short weeks.đ´ó §ó ˘ó łó Łó ´ó żâ¤ď¸

The SNPâs voting record *PROVES* theyâre a bunch of two faced chancers, all sat back on their haunches applauding the loss of tens of thousands of oil jobs.
The facts đđź

Construction is beginning on Shaftesbury Avenue for new separated cycle lanes, a parallel crossing, speed tables, and âCopenhagen-styleâ blended crossings. Well done @CamdenCouncil @willnorman

Scottish Express: Secretive Courts service accused of 'cover-up' as it won't reveal why Peter Murrell's case was delayed until after election.
Itâs all so predictable and has been for years. The Scottish Establishment must think weâre all thick.

Every single person who still cringes at the memory of trying to bullshit their way through an interview or exam question: today, the slate is wiped clean. Set down your burden of shame. Nothing - nothing, I say - could touch this.

âDid Peter Murrell steal taxpayers' cash?
âDid he rob SNP members like Margaret Killah?
âWhy did he get legal aid?
âWhat were the terms of his secret plea deal?
âWhy was Nicola Sturgeon not prosecuted?
No wonder John Swinney's scared of an inquiryđ

So the Greens and SNP have joined forces to block a Scottish Parliamentary Inquiry into the SNPs finances. I wonder if they wouldâve had the numbers had this all come out before the election?
It was blocked so it didnât influence the election. Absolutely shocking.

Let me be very clear. I do NOT support the Green amendment. It is an attempt to evade the very serious issues that require focus on SNP financial mismanagement.

Of course they will. The fix is in from Ross Greer but unfortunately for him he misled parliament when he implied the amendment had the support of @ProfJMitchell. But that wonât stop the sheep from voting for it.
MSPs currently debating Scottish Labourâs motion to hold a parliamentary inquiry into implications and lessons to be learned following Op Branchform & Murrell conviction.
Greens want inquiry to be independent & apply to all parties - the FM says SNP will support that amendment.

Remarkable story in Telegraph revealing just how useless recent Tory governments were:
A secret Whitehall report found that more than ÂŁ28bn in foreign aid and Covid-19 loans was handed to terrorists, hostile states and gangsters!
The misappropriation of taxpayer funds from 2015 to 2021, includes millions sent to the Islamic State and Russia.
Those responsible remain unpunished and the dossier was buried to spare official embarrassment.

Ross Greer says quite clearly the public donât have confidence in our politics so why then has he fixed it so his pals wonât be subjected to an inquiry with the power to compel witnesses or documents? Why does he fear effective scrutiny?

Watching Holyrood debate on an inquiry. When my name was mentioned as a whistleblower on SNP finances & governance culture who was bullied for her trouble some MSPs jeered. Thatâs no surprise to me as some of the bullies and those who enabled them are now SNP MSPs. Charlatans.

Iâm sorry but this @LaraBirdSNP act is hilarious.
@theSNP are seriously asking Arbroath to believe that a Pyra Bird-Leakey, Westminster-polished, Kingâs-adjacent, international-law, dynastic-posh East African colonial biography has simply emerged from the harbour like a local lassie with a leaflet.
Itâs dress-up for people who think voters are mugs.

đ§ľThis, from Robin McAlpine, sums up the current position of the SNP very well & also lays out legitimate concerns about Crown Office. âA political party in this country has allowed its Chief Exec to steal money, it bullied & forced out whistleblowersâŚ1/3 robinmcalpine.org/if-the-snpâŚ

Interestingly, many people (correctly) pointing out that Yes Scotland and the SNP had to be legally completely independent, to comply with Electoral Commission rules. @Ross_Greer might regret revealing the CEO of the SNP organised a pay rise for him at Yes ScotlandâŚ
