At this time, what the independence movement needs from its political wing is unity & certainty. The cause is bigger than any of us. Time to put the egos down; we have a country to win over.
📰 delighted to talk with @ScotNational about last week's ongoings and our task at the grassroots to build a civic campaign that will work and complement the political strand of our cause.

Disgusting & vile, but how many unionist elected reps will call this out?
It seems that Westminster Labour bosses ordered a betrayal of the WASPI women. Shameful! #VoteSNP thenational.scot/news/24295937.…
After all that's been said wouldn't it be amazing if Safe Hands Swinney turned out to be the guy to lead Scotland to independence? I'd take back everything I've ever said about him being a bit boring and personally build a statue of him with my bare hands. You can do it John!
🚨URGENT! We’ve been made aware of a possible detention under the Tories’ despicable Rwanda Scheme in Aberdeen tomorrow. Please come join the protest, details below 👇
Must say I went from half asleep to 100mph listening to Andrew Neil’s nonsense this morning. Took an hour afterwards to calm down. I’m sure we can expect a lot more of these lazy assaults on Scotland & indy.

The people desperate for a leadership contest at this precise moment are our opponents. No reason why John Swinney & Kate Forbes can’t work together in Govt. Swinney, supported by Forbes & Flynn is a mix of experience & new energy to fight #GE24
"It's deeply disappointing that Humza has felt the need to step down. From a grassroots perspective, Humza was a breath of fresh air, resetting the relationship with the grassroots movement and the SNP." AIM Co-convenor Alan Petrie thenational.scot/news/24287025.…

A tale of 2 extremes; on one hand, AIM, are an insufferable bunch of wokes. On the other, we are tartan-tory right-wing reactionaries! What a day!

I have written to the Independent Press Standards Organisation about the crass cartoon that appeared in the Times today. I adore political satire, but this graphic was unfunny, was horrific & toxic. Our press needs to do better.
Also worth noting: Mr Swinney is MSP for Perthshire North, Ms Forbes represents Skye, Lochaber & Badenoch. Together they bring experience of rural #Scotland to the top of government, a benefit for an administration that seeks to properly represent the whole country. 5/5
This message should resonate throughout the country but nowhere more so than West #Aberdeenshire and #Kincardine (#WAK), and across the North East. The idea of just transition as working for the benefit of communities and business has been central to my campaign to become MP. 4/5
After all that's been said wouldn't it be amazing if Safe Hands Swinney turned out to be the guy to lead Scotland to independence? I'd take back everything I've ever said about him being a bit boring and personally build a statue of him with my bare hands. You can do it John!

'What a load of absolute rubbish' 🔥 Broadcaster @LesleyRiddoch was on fire as she took down Andrew Neil and Nick Ferrari's claims about 'basket case' Scotland this morning.

I am tremendously sad that Humza has resigned. There are many reasons the Bute House Agreement wasn’t sustainable for both parties and it’s a shame emotions took precedence over resetting relationships and moving forward for the good of the country. A sad day.
Would like to thank my Mum for her apparent lobbying on LBC yesterday 😅
A dignified statesman like speech from Humza Yousaf, who inherited an incredibly difficult situation in government and party, from his predecessor. He was right to end the BHA. He was right to resign rather than placate bitter Greens or Alba’s single MSP.
Following the news yesterday that #HumzaYousaf had stepped down as First Minister, I would like to say that I am deeply grateful to him for his dedicated service to our country and our party. He has my heartfelt thanks. /more
Scotland has enjoyed abnormally stable and effective government over the past decade under the most disciplined & successful political party in Europe at the top of their game. Apparently Scotland was never ready to govern itself through all of that either.
Humza & I worked together as SNP interns 20 years ago-his talent & insatiable appetite for politics was evident even then. Dealt very bad hand as FM & could have bemoaned that today but was typically dignified acknowledging his own errors - a rarity in public life these days.
Today of all days, remembering and being grateful for all the blessings I have in life. ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّٰهِ

I’ve written a short article for tomorrow’s edition of @TheScotsman on how the new leader should shape @theSNP for the changed world we’re in and the challenges of the future. A ‘whole of Scotland’ approach can modernise, reinvigorate and strengthen our party of multitudes.
The shape of a reinvigorated @theSNP should represent all airts & pairts of Scotland’s diverse communities. We need all our top talent together to meet the hopes & aspirations of people. A truly national party in reach & internationalist in outlook will bring Scotland together

@paulhutcheon I mean, the Tory and Labour parties are constantly at each other's throats, does that mean unionism has failed? Weird reasoning.
If there is a positive spin to be found on the Greens’ contribution to the Scottish Government over the last while, it’s that they helped keep the Scottish islands firmly in the news cycle. Now what? I'm looking to the future in the @ScotNational 👇 thenational.scot/politics/24283…
