How will Ivan McKee do as Cabinet Secretary? Geoff Aberdein and Andy Maciver discuss their admiration for Ivan McKee and suggest that John Swinney was right to promote him to Cabinet Secretary for Public Service Reform.

When even Pat McFadden can’t defend Starmer, you know it’s serious. Olly Robbins out over the Mandelson scandal - is the PM on the brink? Careful words, half-answers… In politics, hesitation speaks loudly… But who’s ready to step up? #UKPolitics #Labour #Leadership #Westminster #Politics

Andy Maciver reacts to the news that Douglas Lumsden is set to run in the Aberdeen South Westminster by-election, just a few days after being re-elected to The Scottish Parliament. The seat will be vacated by Stephen Flynn who is leaving Westminster for Holyrood.

“He doesn’t even have to look at them” If Reform UK and the Scottish Conservatives have a chance to elect Labour’s Anas Sarwar as First Minister, will they do so? Andy Maciver explains why he thinks that they won’t have a choice.

NEW: @russellfindlay.bsky.social concedes that it would be a bad campaign move for him to suggest that he might be First Minister after the election and suggests that the UK party's record in government is to blame.

Should Scotland have an agreed threshold for a Referendum? Geoff Aberdein wonders if, now that John Swinney’s mandate for independence hasn’t been met, whether it would be wise for political parties to agree on a threshold for a second referendum in future elections.

Does an SNP majority actually rely on Reform success? Andy Maciver suggests that SNP achieving their target of a majority in the Scottish Parliament could come down o how much Reform is able to split other parties’ vote on polling day.

“I’m tired of people whining about it afterwards… go and vote” Andy Maciver reflects on the Scottish election results, and suggests that the system could function better if different, Scotland only, political parties ran for election to Holyrood.

Isla McCay, Labour candidate for Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch suggests to Calum Macdonald that voters are more concerned with devolved issues going into the Scottish Parliament election.

"Maybe it's time to get away from it all" @lloydmelville.bsky.social, SNP candidate for Angus South suggests that people have had enough of the Labour government at Westminster and that constitutional change is an issue that will drive voters to the polls at this May.

Many of you will have seen this but for those of you who haven't, this is astonishing. It's what happens when people who comment on Facebook posts stand for election and actually win.

Los Angeles needs 450k units of housing today. I’m going to Congress to finally fully fund Section 8 and get people housed. Make it federal policy for LA to upzone to multi-family home zones everywhere and to modernize permitting. Solve housing and we solve affordability, jobs and homelessness.

How do we strengthen our democracy? Expand representation. Fairer representation builds trust & delivers stronger outcomes - but we need the data to get there. Transparency drives accountability & real change. 🙏 to Kirsteen Sullivan MP for backing the call to activate Section 106 It’s vital!

Ukraine is strong. Ukrainians are brave. But resilience is not infinite. In Odesa, I see businesses closing, people leaving, and growing fatigue after five years of war. Even bamboo snaps if bent too far. The world must stop confusing courage with endless capacity. #Ukraine

A Florida art teacher was suspended after video showed a Black baby doll hanging inside her classroom. That is not “poor judgment.” That is racist imagery carrying lynching, humiliation, and anti-Black violence into a space where Black children are supposed to be protected.

Top-down housing targets are placing tremendous pressure on our communities and green spaces, while driving developments that are not fit for purpose and lack the infrastructure local people need. I have been raising the alarm in Westminster to stop this top-down approach!
