The first Orcadian FM or the first Highlander FM?
Which political leadership operation do folk think is the most incompetent & out of its depth: the tail-end Charlie Premiership of Rishi Sunak or Humza Yousaf?
UK politics gets deeper into the right-wing gutter. Reform UK's Ben Habib told Julie Hartley Brewer he was happy for people to drown in the English Channel. To make matters worse he then denied he had said it. A shameless hatemonger who cant even take responsibility for his hate.
Ash Regan might be enjoying her moment of fame but she has already conducted a sell-out of independence. Where in her demands is her signature policy from last year: the Independence Readiness Thermometer?
All the Scot Parl endgame calculations assume everyone votes. Does have the air of 28 March 1979. Will Ash Regan really play the role of the SNP & if so will she meet a similar fate: ending her own political career?
Scottish politics explained for those who know nothing abt Scottish politics.
Alba might be revelling in their moment in the sun but rather like Farage's Reform UK they have never managed to elect a single MP or MSP. Hence Alba represent no one & have no popular mandate. So a bit of humility in their new found importance wouldn't go amiss.
How the Tory Party & right-wing try to frame political discourse & blame the people of Britain for the economic & social mess they have made. Aided by the #BBC. #BBCqt
A breaking story in Scottish politics: the sitting First Minister will not resign tomorrow.

Thatcher biographer Charles Moore selling the merits of Rwanda. In the words of his own logic: if he likes Rwanda so much why doesn't he go & live there? Moore claims that Rwanda is an “orderly” and “well-run” country to send people to. #bbcqt
This could be one of Ash Regan's key demands to the SNP & Scottish Government: A readiness thermometer.
Neale Hanvey, Alba Party WM leader tries to present Ash Regan as "a serious politician" on @LBC. Describes the Scottish Greens as not interested in independence or environmentalism & only driven by "queer theory ideology" which is a bit of a caricature.
Reform UK haunts the Tories but is not a real political party. It has a ghost leader, ghost members & policies & ghost voters: never up til now winning a WM contest. It is a ghost party & it says a lot abt the Tories that it terrifies them so much. economist.com/britain/2024/0…
A watershed day for the UK. The Safety of Rwanda Act has received Royal Assent. This means the UK is now committed in law to deporting refugees to Rwanda & to declaring that country "safe" even when it has been judged not to be safe. An Orwellian authoritarian & dehumanising law.
A bit questionable to call the Scottish Greens "extremist". Green ideas are not extremist but they are radical & challenge the broken ideas of conventional economics & politics. But there is an other-worldliness & self-righteousness in the Greens ill-suited to govt. #FMQs
Humza Yousaf has just said the SNP-Green Bute House agreement lasted 969 days or as he puts it "nineteen Liz Trusses". Maybe Liz Truss should not be anyone's measurement of political success & achievement. #FMQs
Funnily enough having the Greens in government was "in the national interest" according to Humza Yousaf 48 hours ago. Quite a speedy U-turn.
This is the travesty & trashing of UK democracy now being offered to us in the forthcoming election thanks to the cowardly actions of #OfCom who have caved in to #GBNews
Mainstream Conservatism is now (as below) in open revolt against ideas of inclusion & diversity. Montgomerie says a major problem in public life & media are the pressures for "equal representation", diversity & inclusion. Conservatism at war with modern Britain.

This is a poor Humza Yousaf speech. Another missed opportunity for "a new beginning". Proof of lack of leadership & the SNP having run out of ideas. And a small point: maybe Yousaf should hire some decent speechwriters.

UK politics gets deeper into the right-wing gutter. Reform UK's Ben Habib told Julie Hartley Brewer he was happy for people to drown in the English Channel. To make matters worse he then denied he had said it. A shameless hatemonger who cant even take responsibility for his hate.
For context, here's what Ben Habib said. Julia Hartley-Brewer: “You would leave asylum seekers to drown in the channel?” Ben Habib, Deputy Leader of Reform UK: “Absolutely”

Somewhat disappointing to discover that Ash Regan's letter to Humza Yousaf doesn't demand the installation of an Independence Readiness Thermometer in every town and city square. This was her moment, and she's fluffed it. #IndependenceReadinessThermometerNow
Navigating the limits of free speech and getting the balance of airtime right between political parties is always fraught and has continually to be negotiated. But when the media help to mainstream a political party, in this case Reform UK, whose major spokesman declares that he…

Which is exactly what leaders say as events spin out of their control. That he's even in this situation is absurd; he's not the guy to get himself out of it.
NEW: Humza Yousaf is ‘coming out fighting’ a senior Scottish Government source tells me - the FM isn’t stepping down despite speculation
You didn't travel to Holyrood to give evidence, you travelled to Holyrood to speak at a press conference for anti-trans group "For Women Scotland" who invented the idea that you were "prevented" from giving evidence in order to create headlines for right-wing rags.
When @mara_yamauchi & I travelled to Holyrood to talk to ministers about the effect of allowing males in to women’s sport the SNP & Greens wouldn’t let us give evidence, but three men representing LGBTQ clubs were!! Just saying ..

The end of the Bute House Agreement represents an extraordinary opportunity for the SNP to reset, reacquaint itself with the key priorities of voters, and rediscover how to win. Humza Yousaf should take a series of immediate steps 🧵
@GerryHassan Gerry, you just totally ripped off my joke ya big patter-thief. (Either that or great minds thinking alike.)
Comments on theoretical possibility of Humza Yousaf soldiering on if lost no confidence vote. Unrealistic. Already weak, weakened further today. He’d be on political life support if he lost and the ‘men in grey kilts’ (to borrow Mike Russell’s phrase from 2004) would intervene.

Greens response to end of Bute House Agreement. "The most reactionary and backwards-looking forces within the First Minister’s party have forced him to do the opposite of what he himself had said was in Scotland’s best interests."
Harold Macmillan was weakened in the ‘Night of the Long Knives’ when he sacked a third of his Cabinet in 1962. Humza Yousaf is weakened by sacking two junior Ministers who belong to another party.
As Humza Yousaf ends the Bute House Agreement, here he is *two* days ago telling @ginadavidsonlbc he hopes it continues
Laurence Fox has never understood anything much about prejudice or racism (That may be why he argued in court that it is ridiculous to stigmatise the p-word & as wishes to keep using it). Obvs he trolls for effect but there is an underlying dimness to his public contributions
