“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.

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.

“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?”

Negative campaigns everywhere… but where’s the vision? Without clear solutions—on the NHS or anything else—it all starts to ring hollow. Voters hear the noise. They’re still waiting for the answers. #Scotland #Politics #Elections #NHS #UKPolitics

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.

“I don’t believe any of them” Calum Macdonald reads a message from one of Scotland’s modern studies teachers who suggests that they have no idea who they will vote for, and that they might even spoil their ballot. Another example of voter apathy: will we see a record low turnout?

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.

Andy Maciver suggests that whilst it’s easy to laugh at the list of purchases by Peter Murrell using embezzled SNP finances, how important it is not to undermine the seriousness of the crime.

@anassarwar.bsky.social claims that the culture at Holyrood does not focus on growing the Scottish economy and that he would be best placed to change its approach as First Minister.

"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.

When a story “just makes sense,” what do you stop checking—time frames, base rates, or incentives? Hidden assumptions combined with persuasive narratives create base rate neglect that warp decisions. questionclass.com/when-a-story... #criticalthinking #decisionmaking #storytelling #questionclass

53 years ago, a Supreme Court decision protected reproductive freedom and ensured everyone access to safe healthcare. Although Roe v. Wade has been overturned, our belief remains the same. Everyone should have the right and the autonomy to make decisions about their body. The fight will continue.

She said the quiet part loud. Insider trading. And the temperature in the room *dropped*. Because someone finally named what everyone was already thinking. That pause. That shift. That's what accountability looks like when it lands on the right neck.
