The Alba Party was referred to as 'Bluekip' by some. With their only MSP voting yesterday with Tory and Labour in favour of bringing down the SNP/ Green government, it's difficult to see how Alba can rise above its current 1% in the polls.

The big loser of today’s no confidence vote

As expected the Scottish Government has survived the Labour vote of no-confidence brought forward by Anas Sarwar seeking to opportunistically capitalise on the collapse of the Bute House Agreement …

was #AshRegan offered a cabinet position? Maybe minister for direct negotiation with the #uk? or minister for road-widening and more SUVs in #Edinburgh ? or is she just going to be tasked with diplomatic relations to the silly wing of nationalists, including #alba #alexsalmond and #craigmurray

We all know what #scotland now needs: #AshRegan should leave the #snp and create a new, bold, real #independence party:

Scottish IndependenCe Karens (SICK)

the irrational part of me wants #ashregan to win for the memes. she would totally discredit #transphobia by being a total numpty

"SNP leadership: Ash Regan calls for members to be able to change their vote"

This is bonkers from #AshRegan.

Is the effort by Regan and Forbes the last hurrah of old-school #SNP ethno-nationalism: an attempted coup against the modernists? I certainly hope so.

I stop paying attention to the #snp leadership race for two seconds (because of #ucu drama) and now there is so much drama that I totally lost the plot

What the hell is going on, why is #ashregan looking at legal options to stop the vote (other than her being bonkers), why is there conspiracy shit about the vote being rigged by #KateForbes and what on earth caused this row that led to Murrell's resignation

Not damaging to #independence at all, all this

It’s time for the people’s priorities, not the SNP’s obsession with independence.

#scottishnationalparty tried to conceal membershio figures till announcement of leadership election result, Mar 27. After calls for transparency by Wee Free #KateForbes & (alleged) Terf #AshRegan it turns out #SNP only has 72,186 paid-up members - down from 125,000 in 2019. It seems that the book-cooking was intended to help #HumzaYousaf, to play the role of fall guy (a Scottish Liz Truss no less) thus enabling the party to abandon the fight for independence. Whoever wins the #SNP seems doomed.
From the little I’ve seen of the #SNPLeadership contest, #KateForbes seems a genuinely frightening prospect, #AshRegan is as mad as a bag of cats, leaving #HumzaYousaf as the underwhelming compromise candidate. What an embarrassment of… well, embarrassment. 😳
