Retired council comms. Carer. Believer in solidarity & sharing between all parts of the UK. Tam Dalyell was not wrong. #Stirling #Aberdeen #Halifax
I can't believe we're getting the Vogue version of Nicola on the back cover of her book that's supposed to be all about the real Nicola. Is it meant ironically?
Very same photos tweeted by official FM feed and JS personal feed, the latter with different comment about it being wonderful to meet UV etc. Personal or professional? SNP leader or First Minister?
First Minister @JohnSwinney welcomed President of @EU_Commission Ursula @vonderleyen to Scotland yesterday. The First Minister discussed the UK’s relationship with the EU, the situation in Gaza and Ukraine, and Scotland’s partnership with Europe on key issues. 📸 @EC_AVService
Scotland. Land of the bottom of doors in schools being sawn off so air is not impeded, and museums being forced to close their doors unless males are given access to females' toilets. Apparently. #Scotland #doors
A brief, beautiful, inspired respite from Scotland's decline into bitterness, division and introspection.
27 July 2012. The spectacular Opening Ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics took place in the Olympic Stadium in London. It was directed by Academy Award-winning British film director, Danny Boyle. Newspaper reviews praised it as a “masterpiece” and “a love letter to Britain”.
“Some museums can only stay open if any men who want to can use the ladies loos” does not become a less loopy position, just because you use more jargon to express it.
Then PM let CMO and other senior figures have their place at COVID briefings to far greater extent than than FM ever did. What is it about public realm Scotland that such deference must be publicly paid?
Again you'd think this should be from the FM official feed.
It was a wonderful pleasure to welcome @vonderleyen to Scotland last night and to discuss trade, energy, EU co-operation, Ukraine and the tragedy in Gaza. A very helpful opportunity to set out Scotland’s priorities and to hear the perspective of the EU leadership.
No coverage of the Sandie Peggie case on @BBCRadioScot newspaper review. After last week’s daft rant they had a duty to redress the balance with a well informed commentator on identity politics instead we get Liz Lloyd, one of the architects of the mess, & Brian Taylor 🤦♀️
We're surely at the point we need to get more familiar with who is running the institutions of Scotland and accountable for using their standing to do things like claim there are "1.1m intersex people in the UK"? museumsgalleriesscotland.org.uk/about-mgs/our-…
Museums Galleries Scotland has responded to the EHRC Consultation. It is concerned that the interim guidance is not in the “spirit of inclusion”. It is also worried about the “1.1 million intersex people in the UK”. museumsassociation.org/museums-journa…
Liz Lloyd and Brian Taylor going through the Sunday papers on the radio. Editorial balance BBC Radio Scotland stylee.
When is @BBCNews or indeed @BBCPanorama going to cover the Sandie Peggie case? Why do they persistently ignore stories that has half the population up in arms? I think we should be told. RT
Two signs at the women’s pond - one completely straightforward, the other completely batshit, allowing any man to hang out with undressed women if he utters the magic phrase: ‘I identify as a woman.’ And apparently, if he’s called Pete he gets a free towel.
Maybe the student doctor was focused on the patient's needs.
Another note from the bundle. This transcribed by my friend Bryndis Blackadder Sandie Peggie response to disciplinary allegations in A Glancey’s letter 19th July 2024. Re: Dr Upton complaining that an elderly female patient called him "son" and a student student doctor had…
Wondering when the BBC Scotland special on Mhairi ditching the SNP will be.
So despite repeatedly saying they do, they actually don't respect the Supreme Court judgement at all.

Who will the SNP use to rally the young, Green-leaning leftwing now Black's gone?
Quite a story. Surely SNP not expecting it to disappear under Tribunal and Trump? One wonders what the relationship between McAllan and Flynn might be like - one rumoured to be the leadership pick for next FM, the other a very 'ambitious man'.
Quelle Surprise. Flynn lined his pockets on the back of a taxpayer funded ScoGov contract. Many will call it corruption. scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/news/politics/…
Quite a turn-around from Depute Leader of your party's group at Westminster to not in the party in the course of not very long. Maybe never was suited for Depute Leader role. But who else would Flynn have got?
