“Really bad politics from him as well, I’m afraid” Geoff Aberdein suggests that Russell Findlay’s decision not to meet the First Minister for post election talks is a really poor political decision. Why would they refuse a chance to get their policy priorities on the record?

"Starmer is not strong: he could concede on independence" @russellfindlay.bsky.social suggests that he thinks that it's not improbably that Keir Starmer could grant a second independence referendum if there is a pro-indy majority following the election.

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.

“This is all people are talking about… I think there is a role for Parliament here” @alex.scotlibdems.org.uk says that there might be a need for a parliamentary investigation into the Peter Murrell scandal. He asks "was the Scottish Government actively participating in a criminal conspiracy?”

“People expected more from this government” Geoff Aberdein reacts to another week of scrutiny and pressure on Keir Starmer, and suggests that people are simply seeing more of the same from Labour, after being promised change.

"If you fly with the crows, you get shot with the crows." argues that Malcolm Offord choosing Reform UK as a route to get into the Scottish Parliament has put him in a "very difficult position." "He has invited this [scrutiny] on himself." |

"Will you be the energy secretary?" Last night, ahead of today's cabinet appointments, Stephen Flynn was asked by Calum Macdonald if he would take up the role of energy secretary... Would he be a good appointment for John Swinney?

Why are the SNP not paying the cost of governing? @ailsahenderson.bsky.social from the University of Edinburgh points out that the SNP seem to bucking the trend of long-term governments waning in popularity, with the party ahead in every Scottish Parliament election opinion poll.

“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.

"You're severely limiting yourself" Andy Maciver suggests that the current Nat 5 system used in Scottish schools makes it hard for some young people to reach their full potential.

Seems pretty clear to me it's just a reminder that Labor will stick the boot in if you're poor because there's a "community expectation" they do so. That scares me as a trans woman.

Scrolling is the new smoking. I hear it from parents, teachers, and from children themselves. Big tech companies have created addictive algorithms that monetises attention. We did not expect parents to take on the smoking industry alone, so we cannot abandon them on social media safety either.
