No longer an MSP, some may think that the picture is a flippant sign off, but think of breast cancer awareness.

I loved Christina McKelvie & this is for her!

A fantastic woman, who loved everyone. Be more Christina!

That’s all folks!

The day he appeared in court and was charged with fraud, Labour candidate Mohammed Ameen posted a video on Facebook fearing 'an unexpected cameo' from Anas Sarwar. Was the video filmed before or after his court appearance and what did Sarwar know at the time?

Westminster only works for one part of the UK and for the very wealthiest, leaving most people worse off.

For real change, Scotland needs the full powers of independence. Make it #BothVotesSNP on May 7th. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Final FMQs of this Parliament.

I think of 1999 when I sat as a new MSP in our reconvened Scottish Parliament, and the colleagues who won’t be standing again. I am deeply grateful for their service and their friendship.

Now, we’re ready to write the next chapter for Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

PROFESSOR Danny Dorling has a game he plays with Labour audiences in England. He asks them to name the one country in Europe that has reversed child poverty over the last 16 years – not through revolution, not through vast increases in spending, but through relatively modest and targeted changes in welfare provision.

The room always goes quiet. Nobody ever gets it. He has to tell them. It’s Scotland. And the reason they don’t know is itself part of the story. The British press has never really told them.

Watch as John Swinney warns Malcolm Offord's homophobic joke 'is a warning to this country of what is coming our way' as Reform starts its election campaign 🎥

Malcolm Offord denies homophobia after apologising for joke Reform UK's Scottish leader has been criticised for remarks he made during a 2018 Burn's Night speech.

These comments have no place in Scottish society. They are typical of the prejudice spouted by Reform.

Malcolm Offord and his ilk are unfit for office.

This just gets worse and worse the more you read. The school has failed their pupils and their staff, and the so-called safeguarding process has been grotesquely abused to do extensive harm.

I usually listen in on my phone (audio only), and I don't normally have issues. But admittedly that's for FMQs or certain debates. The website is working.

My P3 teacher hyped up a mystery school trip to us for weeks, but intentionally kept it a secret and let our wee minds run wild.

We went to the dump and the sewage treatment works. As a kid I was raging, as an adult, I appreciate the trolling.

£150,000 raised! Can we push to £175,000?

We don’t have billionaire donors - just people who believe Scotland can do better.

We forgot to put on the local election campaign leaflets "If it looks too much like hard work, we might decide we can't be arsed".

The whole of Scottish society needs to stop treating the Old Firm with kid gloves and hold them accountable for how they operate. I think, long term, society and our national sport will be the better for it.

The whole thing gives Scotland & football fans a bad name which for the vast majority of us is not justified. Everything being centred around 4 fixtures involving 2 teams that makes things at best unpleasent & at worse dangerous for so many is a horrid throwback incompatable with modern Scotland.

The OF thrive on & profit from the brand that is the rivalry & everything that comes with it. They're the best of pals when it comes to voting on decisions impacting the rest of the league like prize money & media rights. This isn't challanged enough by the press, or the authorities running the game

We're also still being collectively punished for the Old Firm's behaviour in 1980. Clubs like mine can't sell alcohol at games which could be done safely while putting much needed money in our coffers. I fear after Sunday the progress we've made here in trials will be for nothing.

We haven't been in the same league as them since 2017. While the gate reciepts aren't the same, the match going experience is much nicer without their fans, their chants, the insufferable OF centred media coverage & a league ran just for their advantage.

As a fan of a provincial club, I've witnessed heavy handed stewarding of our fans - who are much better behaved while not being perfect while the OF behave worse e.g. being made to sit down while singing & making an atmosphere while watching OF opponents dancing in the isles and singing bigotry.

I think this sounds great and not controversial at all. We had bridges on the Scottish notes. Yet UK political discourse is currently inhabited by the fact a survey found people wanted animala on bank notes instead of "UK heroes". I think people are more concerned about their bank balance.
