“It’s important that we stand together to reject discrimination of all kinds.
“There are dark forces at play seeking to divide the community, who only want to stir hatred and villainise parts of society.
“There’s no place for fascism in our society.”

Myself and Offord were the only two who never attended this private school. There was very little chat about politics in the green room and everyone was friendly and respectful towards one another. It was an interesting glimpse behind the curtain and the theatrics that we see on TV. 2/2
I did Debate Night in 2022 with both Anas Sarwar and Malcolm Offord on the panel. Alex Gray and John Nicholson were also on. I must say, the crux of the chat backstage was three of the panel reminiscing about their time at “Hutchies”. 1/2
Krishnan Guru-Murthy: “If there is a pro-independence majority in parliament, should the London government grant a referendum?”
What is the London government? A Freudian slip perhaps, but very telling in that it shows how the establishment media think and feel about Scotland
Does Russell Findlay have any concrete proof to back up his claim that the Iranian regime supports Scottish independence? Or is this just ludicrous scaremongering? #LeadersDebate

I wonder if Gillian was busy. Would have been the obvious choice. Ross has spoke very well though. A far cry from the Kezia/Ruth/Nicola days.

Good morning! I’m headed away for a wee break. After 31 gigs in Germany, I’m super exhausted and have had several migraine attacks and a flare up of chronic fatigue. In need of some r&r. Guess where I’m off to? ♥️🏴
If you’re watching The Assembly right now and can’t agree that Nicola Sturgeon is a woman with humility, kindness, compassion and care, then it’s a you issue.

“This will be a double sided ceasefire!” Is that not the definition of ceasefire? That both sides ceases fire?

ONE day left of Irish Spring tour! 🍀 What a whirlwind five weeks with Eleanor Shanley, Ultan Conlon, Conor Mallon Music Band, Lenka Fairy, Michael Biggins and Rory Carter. Tonight we’re in Bensheim. 🇩🇪
Gutted to be missing the @believeinscotland.bsky.social Independence march today. If I wasn’t in Germany finishing off this 5 week tour, I’d have been there ♥️🏴
This is precisely how I want to prepare for a gig when I’ve got the lurgy. #tourlife
Victoria Derbyshire has been just incredible tonight interviewing the five women survivors. A compelling and heartbreaking discussion, handled with grace, dignity and care. Just heartbreaking.
That will be an excellent gig! Enjoy!

Happy #WorldPoetryDay. 🌿🪿Here's my favourite poem, written by Violet Jacob called Norlan Wind (The Wild Geese), written in 1915. The melody was written by Jim Reid.
On 1 September 1863, novelist poet and writer Violet Jacob was born in Montrose, where her family owned House of Dun.
