I have an amount of sympathy for Bland, but I'd have more sympathy if RUK/Offord/Kerr/et al hadn't been telling everyone who they are and how they do business for the last year. When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

I'm as sorry as the next person to see Bioware close doors but it might have helped, you know, if they made a decent game in the last 12 years. Terrible, terrible mismanagement.

What's changed, Ed?

Sorry, no disrespect to the disabled folk involved here, but have we as a television producing society lost our collective minds? I'm half expecting the conclusion to be "we don't have it all that bad in Britain I guess". Truly unhinged commissioning decision and society we live in.

Hard not to be depressed at the approval of Jackdaw. It's not going to bring down bills, improve energy security or reverse any decline in the North East. Only line the pockets of Shell shareholders.

All due respect to Dame Ballie (none whatsoever) but didn't you lose 3 of your MSPs for criminal adjacent behaviour?

The introduction of rent controls is one of the SNP policies closest to my heart. In my view, rent controls are badly needed, particularly in Edinburgh where we have such a large private rented sector. I feel pretty confident that the evidence-based assessment will make that clear.

The reason boils down to "other journos are on it" to which I say, lead by example. Leave, and find other ways to connect with people that doesn't involve trodding through fash slop.

So proud to have Tamar voting for me

Honoured to be re-elected SNP Disabled Members' Convener at conference. One more year to drive forward improvements to our party's accessibility.

An excellent debate today. I wasn't called to speak in favour but immensely proud of those who were.

Sinead was the absolute best and a fantastic friend and colleague. Devastated for her family.

12th (I think) SNP Annual Conference prepping time.

Conference-going Nat pals, I'm (once again) standing for Member Conduct Committee and would be grateful for your number 1 vote or next highest available preference x

If Labour truly want to end conversion practices, then they will allow Scotland to do so and learn from our example, Out for Independence writes✍️ 👉 www.thenational.scot/politi...

Under no circumstances should we be taking money from these people. Not at our conference, not in our party. c.org/XGXMJB5nBW

Also. We see you. Members opening with "I rise to speak". You're not asking a question. Chatgpt is. Lazy.

Pushed back to tomorrow fyi

Very much hope this is the govt changing course and introducing the LDAN Bill. At the very least, explaining how they are going to achieve the aims of the bill without legislation.

And yet not a single name attached to it 🤔

No disrespect to the authors of this resolution but it is a total waste of an agenda slot. This is already the position of the party. We abolish the Scotland Office via independence.

First Renaissance painting of the parliamentary term just dropped.

I've ranked all of these very highly in delegates' choice and very much hope to see them all, in particular the first two, on the agenda next month.

Proud to be supporting many @outforindy.bsky.social resolutions this delegates choice and equally proud they're supporting many of mine.

Highly recommend a Sober September. Too many birthdays and whatnot* in October to successfully pull off said Sober October. *Fucking conference

A teleprompter? Really? Your impassioned monologue on Israel/Gaza was recited from a teleprompter?

See, we got this right a decade ago when we put in a moratorium on fracking. Did our research, consultation and passed good legislation effectively banning the practice a few years later. It's really disappointing that we've failed to learn from when we got things absolutely right.

Ed Sheeran took more of a stance against Smaug than he has any other genocidal regime.

Love the little game where I convince myself I’m ready to come off crutches, hobble around like a newborn deer for a bit, realise I am in fact not stable, and return to them with most vexed. Anyway, the crutches remain annoyingly employed and recovery is not linear.

@ Edward Sheeran.

Could temporarily solve all council finance problems by actually enforcing parking restrictions.
