After #stvdebate a reminder that all these are better in Scotlandโs NHS than in England or Wales๐
. GP access
. rates of GPs, dentists, nurses, social care staff
. A&E waits, Corridor Care
. patient satisfaction
. NHS pay
. (lower) private healthcare
. Waiting list numbers

All we witnessed at #STVDebate was a rapacious grifter trying to appeal to the working-class whilst bragging about his unnecessary wealth.
Youโre right, Scotland does need new leadership - and itโs not Reform! ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ

One quite tangible thing Malcolm Offord has done for the women of Scotland was working on Alastair Jacks team on section 35. While sarwar voted for GRR.
So gies peace. @stvdebate

"Great answer by @JohnSwinney
on Sinn Fein cooperation in #STVdebate. Russell Findlay tries to rattle FM who calmly states that he looks forward to working with Plaid in Cardiff & Sinn Fein in Belfast to win Scottish independence. Yes." Lesley Riddoch

Not having seen the #STVDebate last night, judging from my feed this morning @AnasSarwar must have done pretty badly as Iโm seeing lots and lots of sycophantic @ScottishLabour tweets praising their great branch manager
Seems to suggest they feel the need to overcompensate for something ๐ค

Bet youโd have accused Andrew Carnegie of showing off his wealth as he built libraries across Scotland? #stvdebate

Sarwar was beyond awful.
I honestly will not be surprised if Labour ends up as the 5th largest party in Scotland and that most likely to be based on list seats.

@AnasSarwar is a snake oil salesman
Comes across as an irrationally angry, insecure and conceited wee man.

Apparently there was some sort of #STVdebate on tonight
A bunch of sad wee men - poor excuses for leaders, every one of them - were trying to tell Scotland why we should all vote for them and not the other, sadder, guy
We were getting the stories behind the spotlight instead

Colonial broadcaster @STVNews invites 4 English-based parties to discuss Scottish issues. Only 2 based in Scotland invited.
Scottish-based @IndyScotParty @The_SSP_ @LiberateScot simply ignored by #stvdebate

Russell has become such a vacuous individual.
Offers absolutely nothing to the Scottish electorate. Or politics in general.
Vote @theSNP #stvdebate

Malcolm Offord went to London from a working-class background with an overdraft.
He made his millions, played by the rules and has given millions in taxes.
His success story is Scotland's success story - we should celebrate it ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ
Let's have more of him and less Ross Greers, eh #stvdebate
