Work, growing tomatoes, walking Jess the dug (wasn’t allowed to call her Simmie) & following the fortunes of Aberdeen FC

Opened Twitter this morning on my tea break & the first thing I saw was the person in questions profile. Space Karen hasn’t broken the algorithm yet

The person in question being Vintage’s mate?

The rest of it could as well be Martian

Yeah. He’s not quite drinking the Alba Kool Aid yet but it’s definitely been ordered at the bar

Ivan McKee (Kate's campaign manager) has also left the Government after rejecting a demotion. The cull is well underway.

So much for mending fences and bringing the party together!!

She rolled the dice & lost. Swanning about after pretending she hadn’t shafted the entire party on tv wasn’t really an option.

I haven't a problem with "to the victor goes the spoils", I just think we will see the SNP no longer be the disciplined "no dissent" party that was the case under both Sturgeon and that will ultimately cost Humza in the end

I’d be amazed if he got anywhere near solving the political issues he faces but I think the folk resigning their membership, should at least give him the opportunity first

I know nothing about him, but never really took to him.

I will have to give him a chance, as I don't see an alternative way to independence. I certainly wouldn't go near Alba and I say that as someone who doesn't mind Salmond

I just wish their egos could be parked to one side and just get us to **** out of the Union.

I think they’ll still huddle together for comfort, and put on a united front on most issues, but the sects and divisions that many of us knew existed are now exposed - not a good look as has been proven time and again when divided parties go to the polls.

The fact that the candidate selection process seems to be based on party/leader loyalty rather than potential talent or skills, and that that goes for appointment and promotion, means that the new FM’s options with the current lot must be limited. He needs to look at The Party structure, and the omnipotent rôle of the NEC, and the steady decline of decision-making power at constituency and national council levels. It looks like it’s been an autocracy since 2014. I don’t believe that Yousaf has the support, steel, radicalism and mental strength to re-democratise a party that self-aggrandises on that very concept.

Interesting times.

Scotland was fücked anyway.

The last referendum was the final chance and too many people believed English lies, took English bribes or worried about English threats.

Forget northern britain and move to the EU.

Humza does not help himself, swears he is a true true Scot and then turns up on the steps of Bute House wearing a Pakistani coat, he represents a Glasgow seat but lives in Dundee.
