Should there be a Holyrood election once a new SNP leader has been elected?
Lots of questions arise from todays developments, but one thing is certain to me: to uphold the integrity of our democracy, whoever takes over as SNP leader has to face an election.
This proposed referendum bill would get thrown out by the UKSC under the exact same rationale as the SNP’s did. It would waste parliamentary time & diminish the credibility of the yes movement. Read the prior judgement and get real - this can’t be how independence is achieved.

The @ScotTories will be desperate for the no confidence motion to fall - by tabling the motion they get credit over @ScottishLabour as the ‘anti SNP vote’, but if the motion falls, it prevents their inevitably monumental election losses. Turkeys don’t vote for Christmas
This could be the start of @theSNP rationalising priorities and speaking to the issues which really matter to voters. It could be a defining moment for the FM if he can survive (and it’s a big if). Time to grasp the mood of the country and get serious.
Encouraging that yes support is stable despite a Lab GE win seeming inevitable. This may (preliminarily) consolidate that the appetite for independence goes beyond replacing the Tories in the immediate term - something which could have harmed Indy support when Lab take power.

After receiving general election campaigning materials from @ScottishLabour on which devolved ‘policing priorities’ were stated, we analysed the democratic implications of misleading messaging in the context of the Scottish ‘blurred lines’ strategy 👇🏽 politicsforscotland.com/post/does-misl…

@forscotpolitics Putting those numbers into Electoral Calculus Labour would win 28 seats to SNP's 18. That doesn't take into account tactical voting + personally sceptical Reform would actually get anywhere near 7% so guessing in reality it's worse?
@forscotpolitics @jackiebmsp Give us a follow folks 🙏
@forscotpolitics @HolyroodSources A: YES! I've always been more than irritated by ANYONE that deliberately misleads or fails to correct when accidentally misleading It's completely unacceptable from those seeking to govern so many aspects of our lives & particularly as they're rarely challenged by Legacy Media
“Our politicians need to be braver. They need to start acting less obsessed with Tweets, likes & polls.” Sunday column from @InnesBurns ✍️ He addresses Humza’s #ToryFree comment and urges politicians think bigger. #SNP #Tories #Vision #Politics #Indy untribalpolitics.co.uk/post/think-big…
@forscotpolitics It happened to me & my followers updated later that day
@forscotpolitics Very strange. According to your bio we are following each other yet you have no followers.
@forscotpolitics This is a good example. Clear, concise, structured and informative. Knowledge is power and if people have verifiable, indisputable facts on hand. Then the conversion rate from No to Soft No to Don't know to Yes ratio will go up.
A question from @forscotpolitics to our guest Jackie Baillie on tonight’s podcast 🎙️ Should the fate of #ScottishIndependence be in the hands of the Scottish Parliament? We’ll always voice the questions from our followers 🫶 #EngageTheDisengaged #ByRegularPeople
This 👇
“Scottish Labour submit to positions which negatively impact Scotland because they are bound to follow their party which now perpetually appeases centre right English voters in a bid to become ‘electable’.” Read more 👇🏽🥀🇬🇧 politicsforscotland.com/post/the-repre…
Delighted to join local @theSNP members with @S_A_Somerville in Dunfermline this evening for Cllr Naz Anis-Miah’s candidate adoption night. 🚨 Westminster isn’t working for Scotland. 🏴 Only @theSNP MPs will always stand up for Scotland and defend Scotland’s right to choose.
During the debate on the SNP motion for a ceasefire, Andrew Gwynne accuses an SNP MP of playing party political football with whats going on in the Middle East The SNP gets 3 days each session to call debates. Labour gets 17. Why havnt Lab called a debate on a ceasefire, Andrew?
Labour blackmailed the Speaker into violating Parliamentary protocol so they could shield Israel from the charge of collective punishment Any political journalist worth their money should be clear that’s what happened The Speaker allowed himself to be bullied and should resign
Looking like @theSNP MPs minded to sign the Will Wragg EDM expressing no confidence in @CommonsSpeaker. One Tory: When the Tories and SNP agree then something big is afoot
If Keir Starmer votes against the SNP motion for an immediate ceasefire because we are rightly calling out the collective punishment of the people of Gaza, he will not be forgiven. How many children have to die for Labour to do the right thing and support an immediate ceasefire.
UPDATE I understand Keir Starmer will order his MPs to vote against the SNP’s motion calling for a Gaza ceasefire for the reason I explain below (he hates the SNP’s charge that Israel is engaging in the collective punishment of Palestinians). He knows many of his MPs will rebel…
