“People didn’t believe that we could fix it” @kathsangster.bsky.social tries to summarise where things went wrong for Labour at the Scottish Parliament Election, ultimately suggesting that the focus wasn’t on Scotland and that the party’s record at Westminster paid a huge part.

"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.
Is Holyrood being "shrouded out" by global events? Energy prices, Middle East conflict, and the Trump White House: the issues dominating the doorsteps often aren't the ones MSPs can actually fix.
“In order to be a nation that builds ships, we need to be a nation that has ships” Andy Maciver and Geoff Aberdein agree that Scotland should be a nation of shipbuilding… but that currently Scotland’s infrastructure won’t allow for that to happen.
“That involves you leaving behind a lot of 2016 SNP policy” Andy Maciver asks whether the SNP has been too focused on welfare and if now is the time to try to grow Scotland’s economy. Stephen Flynn argues that his party can achieve both. Is this an unrealistic expectation for the SNP government?
The SNP’s secret weapon? Andy Maciver suggests that the lack of a Scottish Greens candidate in most constituency seats, will aide the SNP. The latest YouGov projection has taken this into account and it awarded John Swinney’s party an even higher number of seats than in previous polls. |
A moment... of sorts? Geoff Aberdein reflects on the political implications of last night's Scottish leaders debate, and the notable spat between Anas Sarwar, Malcolm Offord and John Swinney.
“Their decision has been made for them” Will the fact that Reform was locked out of post-election talks, lead to them doubling down as the ‘disruptors’ at Holyrood?
"Should this new mechanism come in place for 2027, industry will come to the table with significant multi-billion pound investment." Geoff Aberdein considers the impact of the Middle East conflict on energy prices - and why the UK Government needs to unlock domestic potential.
