This👇continues to puzzle me. Is the SNP now saying that under Humza the party was in a state of complete disunity & if so, what was the cause of this extraordinary disunity that no one was talking about until now?
This👇continues to puzzle me. Is the SNP now saying that under Humza the party was in a state of complete disunity & if so, what was the cause of this extraordinary disunity that no one was talking about until now?
25 years ago today as Scots went to the polls, the very first @HolyroodDaily published.
Latest @HolyroodDaily went to print last night and out on Monday, just another bonkers week in Scottish politics!
It’s a coronation. Graeme McCormick will not stand against John Swinney.
“With Humza Yousaf’s short time as first minister ending, we are where it all began just over a year ago: with a debate about how a party that has been in power for so long has ignored that most basic of business needs – a succession plan.” holyrood.com/editors-column…
The new edition of Holyrood - out Monday
The accidental First Minister John Swinney needs to answer a simple question if he is to lead Scotland for the many, not a few: What is a woman? My @TheScotsman column scotsman.com/news/opinion/c…
"Humza has done this himself," one party insider said. After a damaging two weeks which ended Yousaf's career as first minister, can John Swinney be the one to rebuild his broken party? holyrood.com/inside-politic… @kapaterson
Vote for Political Staffer of the Year at #HolyroodGardenParty24, organised by @APMProjectMgmt. Recognise behind-the-scenes dedication for MSPs and MPs. Last year's winner: Lesley Gulland. Vote here: bit.ly/4aAw1a8
The author of the Cass Review into gender identity services for children and young people is to give evidence to a Scottish Parliament committee next week holyrood.com/news/view,cass…
A little commented on aspect of yesterday's announcement that John Swinney will stand to be next leader of the SNP is the admission finally that all is not well within the party & that there is even a need for unity. A question might be, what has been the cause of that disunity?
Never blocked anyone on here before but we all have a breaking point and I reached mine!

If you watch this interview with @RhonddaBryant in its entirety or don’t clip it before it’s finished @ 4.24 but play through to 5.05 you see and hear something rather different to what’s being implied by this clip quoted. channel4.com/news/uk-has-mo…
Here is the Labour MP for Rhondda admitting that he and his party filibustered and used grubby tactics to deny a vote on the SNP’s ceasefire motion Labour showing they’ll govern with the exact same contempt for plurality and cooperation as the Tories
Dearie, dearie me. Keep reading right to the end. In a nutshell: Poor me - Salmond bad - Sturgeon good. ‘Humza: My marriage split left me almost in a state of breakdown’
@holyroodmandy @HolyroodDaily Diversity is good, I'm well aware that many women don't enjoy makeup & others use it to express different gender identities - great! You do you. Was speaking for myself & wouldn't dream of writing an article criticising another woman for what she chooses to wear, bizarre feminism

@holyroodmandy There is some evidence from the ongoing judicial inquiry that some PO lawyers got jumpy in 2013 - in part because the Horizon issue was being raised in the Scottish Parliament.
This is what it looks like when the media tries to destroy someone. It is shameful the lengths that they are going to in order to attack Michael Matheson and (by proxy) Humza Yousaf and the SNP. This is what it looks like when someone sells their soul for Tory money.
“My personal vexation matters not a jot. It is the damage that this whole tangled affair has done to trust in politics, in the party of government, in the processes of parliament, & in Humza Yousaf’s leadership itself.” My @HolyroodDaily column. holyrood.com/editors-column…
