Well said #FirstMinister #MichelleO'Neill 👏
It is #time for the #NorthOfIreland to have a #Referendum on a #UnitedIreland by 2030. #Brexit was an #economic self harm against the will of the people.

Really interesting watching how frit Scottish #Politicians remain of former [& thusfar, unmatched] #FirstMinister #NicolaSturgeon with the #Scottish elections just weeks away. Very much hoping their fears prove well founded by a complete wipe out of the more duplicitous & expenses munching wasters.
@scottishgreens.org Co-Leader @ross-greer.bsky.social has urged the #FirstMinister to introduce a Scottish #MansionTax that would raise over £125 million for local services including #schools and #SocialCare

#BBC #Scotland ‘balance’ the #Scottish #FirstMinister claims on increased #NHS #appointments with Conservative and Labour ‘playground’ shouts, and of course, not the hard #evidence that he is correct with 120,000 extra appointments; that’s 10% more than last year!

The SNP are going to “win big” at next year’s Holyrood election, the First Minister has said. #SNP #FirstMinister #election
Is the #SCOTLAND'S #FirstMinister #HonestJohn ? or #BobbingJohn ??

#RailCommuters in #Scotland received a #CashBoost after #PeakFares were scrapped in what #Scottish #FirstMinister #JohnSwinney described as a 'historic moment'.

"STURGEON: ACTIONS OF ISRAEL ARE NOTHING SHORT OF GENOCIDE" - @scotnational.bsky.social

Our Bill still stands in waiting. It could very readily be a basis of an all UK Bill that #Starmer advised the Scottish #FirstMinister was his intention on the back of using hitherto never applied Clause 35 veto on no credible excuse. Starmer subsequently proved to be the liar he is & aborted plans.
For this reason, I’ve drafted an urgent open letter to #FirstMinister John Swinney. I am asking for individuals, groups and orgs to join me by being signatories. 4/
🚨NEW:
The #FirstMinister has warned that #NigelFarage 'hates the very idea of #Scotland having its own Parliament'
So #IanUnionMurrayMp says the #FirstMinister should stop the #Reform rhetoric.. he's having a giraffe.
#FirstMinister explains on #TheSundayShow why he'll NOT support MSP Mr #LiamMcArthur's #AssistedDying 1st stage vote is oddly coy about the fundamental part his personal religion will be playing. At 18:46 mins
Evasion isn't "transparent government" on TV.

It was realy heartening watching the #FirstMinister totally freeze when unexpectedly faced by Mr #MartinGeissler on #TheSundayShow on the parliamentary announcement on the parlous situation #Transgender people face in #Scotland, cue automatic airport announcement "important dignity & respect..." 1/2
Coming to the tamed #ScottishParliament soon!
"Presiding officer #AlisonJohnstone said the move would ensure "confidence, privacy and dignity" for staff and visitors."
No sign of the #FirstMinister nor his Deputy in the statement probably at Church.

Scotland’s #FirstMinister #JohnSwinney can’t remember if he had a pay rise.
Following a question from Douglas Ross about whether he has received a pay rise, John Swinney says: "I don't think from my recollection that any different pay has been put into my bank account - I'll go and check it.”
Glad he's gone fully mask off with this unacceptable announcement from the #FirstMinister who should have, imo as #FM kept his views to himself and let folk vote according to their own thoughts.

2/2 Trains don't stink of alcohol. Colin MacKay STV says it's no surprise given folk have been ignoring the ban for ages. I suspect speaking as an occasional train user.
I believe this should have been consulted on through #Scotrail website & stations.
Not a populist #FirstMinister gift for votes.
Once again the #FirstMinister appears more a painted cardboard representation of some leader in a suit and tie.
Guess they mute the "and Independence isn't ever going to happen; Westminster does not approve!"
Morning. Feeling improved and up to see #PopeFrancis funeral. Gotta watch all the big events.
Really hoping that #FirstMinister Michelle O’Neil, as a Catholic, gets better seat than the Orange Felon. 🤭
CEO Mariam Ahmed was honoured to attend the #FirstMinister Eid Reception at #ButeHouse. We are grateful to Minister #KaukabStewart for her continued dedication to her work on equalities. A beautiful evening celebrating diverse communities in Scotland, surrounded by inspiring individuals!
#AminaMWRC
#FMQs Sad sack #Sarwar has his guff thrown back in his face by the #FirstMinister. Having clearly followed Tory #RussellFindlay's tawdry plan of attack by lie & insults, thus having nothing to offer as #Starmer's tame pet. He should go as the imposter he reveals himself, with his every word to be.
