No constituencies won by @ReformUKScot. Here's a suggestion. In the next Holyrood election, instead of voting for Reform, take the ballot paper, shove it up your arse and set fire to it. The effect will be just the same as wasting your vote on a losing Reform candidate. Enjoy.

Look at that pro-Glasgow bias in action.
That’s a penalty anywhere else in world football. But in Scotland, it’s known as penalty for anyone but Rangers.

United We Stand 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧 ‘Shared Future Shared Heritage’Summit . Following on from chairing the Summit on 17 th Sept in Edinburgh for @OrangeOrderScot @duponline , this week I had discussions with the leadership of unionist parties in Northern Ireland. It is also encouraging to see further meetings took place this month when the @OrangeOrderScot @GrandMasterGOLS @AndyMurray70 @DWalters1688 met with the leaders and their colleagues of the Northern Ireland Unionist parties. @GRobinsonDUP @duponline @JonBurrowsMLA @uuponline @JimAllister @TUVonline I am delighted to hear that these meetings were very productive. I look forward to attending further meetings 🔜 More also in this edition on my fundraising with the Grand Mistress @McainshKirsty and the lovely ladies of the Women’s Orange Association. Their nominated charity this year is Alzheimer Scotland. #Scotland #NorthernIreland

As I posted yesterday, Hearts fans act like a husband whose lawyer is showing him video evidence of his wife being ploughed by her lover. Instead of reacting with fury, they say, “No, there must be more to it. I suspect another completely unconnected person is really to blame.”
Celtic do everything possible to stop Hearts winning the league by hook or by crook. Hearts fans- Right lets make an enemy of Rangers Utter ducking mental

Dear God.
🎥 Andy Burnham says his son is ‘marrying into a Hibs family’ and trying to get him to support the club ‘He’s trying to get me on this. I’m more Celtic. He’s got me leaning Hibs a bit.’

An awful man. I know a few folk who had dealings with him when he was MP up here and they all tell the same story; an arrogant, unpleasant character. No loss to this neck of the woods.

Swinney’s failure to support Rosebank is not simply about emissions. Rosebank is 20% owned by Ithaca Energy, which in turn is controlled by Delek Group - an Israeli company. Swinney cannot support Rosebank without enraging the boycott Israel people. And he is terrified of them.

Guess who’s been told to give Swinney enthusiastic support at the first opportunity? Trying to hard, wee Jackie. @jackmiddleton95
Awkward moment at FMQs as Jack Middleton launches into an enthusiastic round of applause for John Swinney, but hardly anyone else joins in.

Exactly this. Hearts fans are an embarrassment to their own club.
Hearts fans are more angry at rangers for taking Mcinnes, Shankland & Devlin than they are at the SFA for robbing them of a title 😂

Brendan McKenna, presented as the face and ring leader of the residents, was anti-GFA. Those who brought firearms into Garvaghy Road to potentially shoot and kill PSNI officers and Orangemen were anti-GFA. That’s the real supremacism.

So the ‘peace’ dividend from the GFA is entirely predicated on the IRA/Mob getting their own way - always, or else. How very unifying.

Yes, this is my election photo. Don’t I look great? Out of interest, do you Irish geniuses actually believe there are no two people in the United Kingdom who share the same name? Interesting.

Unionist parties’ combined total vote share is 41% to SF’s 30%. I know what would really help. Let’s ask @reformparty_uk to field candidates to ensure SF wins as many seats as possible. That genius @ReformUKScot tactic has worked out so well for the SNP in Holyrood.
Northern Ireland Assembly Voting Intention: SF: 30% (+5) DUP: 18% (+1) UUP: 13% (=) TUV: 11% (–1) APNI: 9% (–2) SDLP: 9% (=) GRN: 3% (-1) PBP: 1% (-1) AON: 1% (=) IND/OTH: 4% (-1) Via @Moreincommon_, Changes w/ July 2026.

The cover up in the McCartney murder underlines the fact that voting for the IRA's political wing Sinn Féin is akin to voting the Corleone, Escobar or Kray families into Government. A United Ireland might well happen, but Sinn Féin is it's biggest obstacle bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjzx…

Quick, send for Brendan and Colin.
I’m in London today standing alongside the family of Sean Brown as they continue their fight for truth & justice. Almost 30 years after Sean’s murder, his family are still being dragged through the courts by the British government. Five judges have already made clear that a public inquiry is needed, yet the British government continues to fight it. What are they so determined to hide? Bridie & her family have suffered enough. It’s long past time they were granted the full public inquiry they deserve.

How are you enjoying the Rob McCartney Spotlight TV series, you posturing clown? 70 PIRA members were present when their friends murdered an innocent Catholic and no one saw a thing. Those were the days, eh?
Proud to stand with Sean Brown’s family at the Supreme Court in London today as they seek the truth about what happened to their husband and father. The courts in Northern Ireland have been clear, there needs to be a public inquiry into the events surrounding Sean’s murder.
