Andy Maciver questions Janine Leonard, from STAND UK, on the fact that 43% of young people in Scotland's classrooms receive some level of ASN, and whether this dilutes the assistance available for those most in need.

Now that Scottish Labour have failed to meet their goal of being the biggest party in parliament and Anas Sarwar is not First Minister… what actually is Labour’s purpose, and what can they achieve in opposition? Calum Macdonald asks new MSP Katherine Sangster.

40% of voters could change who they support...? @markmcgeoghegan.bsky.social implies that almost half of Scottish voters could be persuaded to change their ballot ahead of the election.

“He’s having a decent campaign” Geoff Aberdein looks back at this week’s manifesto launches for Scottish Labour and the Scottish Greens, pointing out merits in both.

Would further fiscal autonomy for the Scottish Parliament lead to independence? Would further powers bring Scotland one step closer to independence… or would it be, as Andy puts it, ‘the best strategy unionists have’?

Could the SNP change their strategy after the election? Geoff Aberdein wonders if the SNP could take a step back from independence and focus on working in tandem with other parties public service reform, if they fail to earn a majority in the Scottish Parliament.

“If you don’t meet that self metric for success… the result will be viewed as a failure” Geoff Aberdein asks what a good result for the SNP may look like, and why they may have shot themselves in the foot with their national seat target.

“This is always going to be a trick for unionist parties” Geoff Aberdein speaks on unionists parties' refusal to mention independence, reflecting on Malcolm Offord’s suggestion that there could potentially be a referendum down the line.

“For the SNP to get a majority they would pretty much have to win every marginal” Andy Maciver sets out how the SNP could achieve their coveted majority, and that it would take more than a couple of lucky results if they were to pull it off.

"Poverty is like an anchor" Modern studies teacher Thomas Robertson, explains how poverty affects young people on a day-to-day basis in Scotland.

Christy Clark: "If this should succeed, Danielle Smith will go down as probably the worst premier Canada has ever had. If it fails, she'll go down as someone who got lucky and got out of there with their skin intact and certainly still isn't qualified to be the premier of a province." #cdnpoli

Just to close the thread, FB put the nail in the coffin with some more of the cross screen set, including a rip screen variant (Rupert missed). Meesseman got a good look off the usual and hit a few straight middies to put the game out of reach (OLY head coach Froso Drakaki was not happy).
