#Scotland's Party of #SleepyCuddles and The #Transphobes is over. The #AlbaParty's NEC voted on Sunday to deregister and wind up. 👏👏

Alba has no money, and almost no remaining members. Mr Sleepy Cuddles is dead, their lone #MSP came as a defector but defected again, and there aren't enough transphobes to make it a going concern.

@christineburns Mainstream Irish media's coverage of the #EnochBurke drama has been fairly good.

It's a huge contrast to the UK, where the #SandiePeggie drama has turned the #HeraldScotland into a hyperpartisan single-issue transphobic campaign. Its Facebook feed is now an order of magnitude worse than even the #DailyTelegraph and #TheTimes. In Ireland, only alt-right newmedia goes anywhere near that stance.

Happy New Year 2025 from the wonderfully positive #HeraldScotland May all Scots survive the year in the worst wee country in the whole wide world, thanking their God for the broad shoulders of #westminster, without which, Scotland would be as poor as Norway.

On #InternationalWomensDay remembering Flora MacDonald (not a coincidence) whose obit I wrote for #HeraldScotland in 2015. Flora was Canada’s 1st female Cabinet Minister for External Affairs. So called ‘Red Tory’ i.e. kind and compassionate. Hatched a plan to let the Vietnamese boat people enter Canada. #refugees #contrast https://www.heraldscotland.com/opinion/13598798.flora-macdonald/
Flora MacDonald

An Appreciation
