Fuck the Tories and more importantly, fuck Rangers.

All that for nothing eh? Fucking Tories man absolute fucking scum

lol

KGM lining himself up for an honorary Scottish passport there. In ye come loon.

James Matthews, Murdo Fraser, Sarah Smith, Alex Massie, Fraser Nelson, Kirsty Wark, Ruth Davidson, Jackie Baillie Your boys took a hell of a beating

I watched Harvie on BBC earlier, brilliant brilliant brilliant. He said the Sturgeon part of matter is now finished, the Tory's are disgraceful hypocrites (cited Patel) and stated not one unionist party has any vision for Scotland. That's me decided. SNP/Green in May.

Only the third item on the News at 6 - says it all.

Andrew really should have remembered to un-retweet this

This is the content we've been waiting for....

Thoughts are with The Ghost of B A R P at this difficult time.

Thoughts and prayers with @Detournement/HB, @Stormzy and @ICTChris in these difficult moments.

Here it is if anyone wants the full thing

This is utter utter humiliation for the tories. This whole fiasco has now blown up in their faces and their pride, (what's left of it), cannot let go as they continue to whimper on with resignation calls. It is childishly pathetic. Now they will bleat on that their report is more important than the Independent Hamilton one and continue to make fools of themselves in the eyes of the Scottish Public. This paves the way for a massive SNP majority in May.

Don’t forget@Lex as well. First his team getting papped out of the top 6 and now this. A miserable couple of days for him.

Imagine what it's like in Andrew Neil's house right now. It'll be like that episode of Father Ted with the alky TV presenter.

Dancing in the yoonshite.

Only been an SNP member once back in 2015 - just re-joined now. Time to throw our weight behind Sturgeon and the SNP and smash the Tories in May.

That wikipedia edit is a falsehood - he was never a member of the SNP and that line was added anonymously a few days ago. It's an attempt to detract from the credibility of the report by casting doubt on Hamilton's independence, but it's a lie.

There’s definitely some nuance to the EU debate that isn’t really mentioned in our media. AZ have hugely under-delivered to the EU (about 60m doses out, or two thirds) and they have a factory in the Netherlands which is set up to send vaccines to the UK. There’s little doubt the same media would be going absolutely tonto if foreign types were getting vaccines from Wrexham while there were shortages here. Additionally, and this is probably the important bit, the UK has effectively placed an export ban on the AZ vaccine. There isn’t an official ‘ban’ but the contract signed with AZ prevents UK-made vaccine being exported to other countries. So it’s effectively a ban, but hidden behind well-worked contract law. The EU have no such clause in their contracts and in fact the EU have exported about 47 million vaccines worldwide, the UK has exported zero. So while an EU ban at this stage would be very poor form and they’d come out looking like the bad guys, would they actually be the bad guys? Certainly still a bit but maybe not quite as much as it appears on the face of it. This is however all set against a backdrop of the EU having an absolute disaster of a vaccine rollout, particularly with AZ. No over 65’s, everyone, nobody at all, over 55’s only is the criteria over the last four weeks alone in France. Quasi-ineffective according to Macron, Merkel said she wouldn’t take it in line with guidance at the time. 14 million doses are currently sitting unused in the EU, and over 50% of respondents in each of France, Spain, Italy and Germany now believe the vaccine to be unsafe. That’s all entirely self-inflicted and you do need to ask whether they’d be better funnelling energy into the other vaccines at this stage. Both supply chains are reliant on each other though so literally nobody wins in a tit-for-tat banning battle. It would be a monumentally stupid road for us all to go down, the EU fucked up at the start with their contracts and need to take the hit. No doubt vaccine nationalism is on the rise, India are clearly withholding 5m doses from the UK despite government protests that they aren’t, in the same way they’re withholding doses from Brazil, Saudi Arabia and Morocco. All set up for humanity to shoot itself in the foot very shortly without a cooling of tensions.

Graham Stewart on Radio Scotland there:- "The Scottish Conservatives aren't speaking to us right now"

Thinking about you at this difficult time x

The best thing Nicola can do now is to focus on the women who have been let down and let all the noise come from increasingly desperate opposition politicians who are seeing their big career moment go up in flames.

Is there anything sweeter than the unionist, Tory loving, bitter gammon faced scum getting it shoved right up their red, white and royal blue arseholes. Oh my what a great day this is.

Doesn't matter about the other report, it's a complete smokescreen, will be batted away with ease as politically fuelled. What matters is the independent one in which she's been 100% cleared. Unionists can bleat all they want but they have lost here big time. @Lex.

Get the Tories some ketamine they need to separate their minds from their bodies.

Dougie Ross consoling himself in his car in with Atomic Kitten on loop.

Lol @ Conservatives everywhere. GIRFUY

None of this is a closed matter for me. The conduct of that circus of a Holyrood inquiry needs to be fully dissected through a similarly independent process.

He was brilliant there. Imagine if BBC Scotland did their fucking job like that?

Mon tae f*ck, P&B.

Absolutely glorious f**k the unionists f**k the Tories

Even if you don't like Sturgeon or the SNP, you simply have to admit that the thought of Margaret Mitchell's head exploding when she heard the news is demonstrably very, very, very funny. Get it right fucking up those vile Tory vermin.

Yasss. She's been utterly victimised and now vindicated. She needs to go on attack here, her support will go through the roof

If you threaten to outlaw peaceful protest, then people will resort to violence. If you police peaceful protest by sending in the riot shields and batons, then people will resort to violence.

I think what this thread has taught me is that i was right to get rid of social media. People losing their shit over some random writing something on twitter. Until it comes from boris or nicola then ill be happy ignoring them

Don't make me quote the dictionary definitions of what the words fact and guess mean. He's become far too amenable to journos for a 'rent a quote' moment. For example, he was right to highlight the diving of Celtic's Taylor but shouldn't have followed that up by allowing the media to present it as a public crusade against it. For a couple of months it seemed like he was on speed dial for some of the journos, and I think that was a bit naive.
