Today, the @scottishgreens are calling on MSPs from all parties to back a new “Amazon Tax”. This is a chance for all parties to show that they are serious about backing Scotland’s high streets, supporting local jobs and making sure that global giants pay their fair share.

🧵You couldn't make it up. Amid the Peter Murrell and Indyref2 funding scandals, the SNP is proposing to take control of the Holyrood committees dealing with finance, criminal justice and public service reform by having its MSPs as both the convener and deputy convener..

People who want to dodge scrutiny and difficult questions do not do sit down interviews with Laura Kuenssberg.

I still don't understand how a jury didn't find the Manchester Airport men guilty. Unanimously. The video was unambiguous. One of them punched the policewoman in the face. No ifs. No buts. The defence was they feared the police were going to murder them. Who on earth on the jury thinks police randomly go about murdering people in the UK? Are people on the jury that gullible? I despair. Truly I do.

The Greens were the only party at this election to say that we need to use our full taxation powers to raise more money, particularly from the wealth of the super-rich. We must explore all options for taxing wealth before cutting public sector jobs.

Scottish Unionists ambition for Scotland is emptying the Bins.

There is a clear pro-independence majority in Scotland’s Parliament, elected democratically by the people of Scotland. Unionist parties should respect that mandate and stop blocking Scotland’s right to choose our own future.

Response from Nicola Sturgeon posted to her social media: “My reaction to the guilty plea tendered today by my former husband is difficult to put into words. I am angry, hurt, sad and very distressed about the impact of his actions on family, friends and the SNP. To be deceived and let down by a husband I loved and trusted has caused me acute pain. Why he acted as he did is, and always will be, beyond my comprehension. To be clear: I had no knowledge or suspicion whatsoever that he was using SNP funds for personal purposes. I am utterly appalled that he did so and cannot begin to understand why. That I was fully cleared after a thorough investigation underlines that these are not my crimes. I was misled just as others were. I know that there will be political discussion in light of what has happened, and I understand why. However, for me this has also been a profound personal trauma. I need to remain focussed on recovering from that and building a new phase of life. I will be making no further comment.”

What an unbelievably stupid own goal from Labour. 👇 2024 Labour got 852,000 votes in Scotland. 2026 SNP got 877,000 votes in Scotland. Labour have no mandate to block a referendum.

How long do you think it will take the SNP independence supporters to realise they have been duped once again and there’s going to be no independence referendum. 🫵🤷🏼‍♂️ poor naive gullible fools. 🙄🤦🏼‍♂️🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

So many political commentators completely at a loss why SNP defy political cycles and norms, offering up loads of nonsense reasons. While they don’t want to accept to glaringly obvious fact, which influences it, Scotlands constitutional question is not settled

A re-elected SNP government will create a Better Surfaces Fund to support councils to fix potholes, resurface roads and improve drainage, helping deliver up to £350 million of investment in better roads across Scotland. Make it #BothVotesSNP on May 7 for a government that’s on your side.
