"Reform UK does not want to leave the UK, we want to lead the UK."

Lead not leave? Yeah, we were promised that last time too...

"Our position is very clear. Scotland decided in 2014 to remain part of the United Kingdom."

We also decided to remain in the EU.

"We want to focus the next 10 years on recovering."

Recovering from Westminster-imposed Brexit and austerity?

Honestly, who is convinced by this garbage?

I really hope to see Laura Moodie elected to Holyrood this term. South of Scotland, you know what to do! #VoteGreen #scotpol #scotland #uk #ukpol

Their moment is passing, the Trump Taint and their general incompetence and grift in office is too blatant to ignore.

As the #ScottishParliament winds up before the election in early May, #ScottishGreens co-leader #GillianMackay delivers aome gentle snark at #HumzaYousaf, the man who evicted her party from government.

Mackay's brief comments achieve an almost perfect pitch. She notes a real hurt, but wraps it in humour, and follows it with warm praise. A real masterclass in public speaking, and in parliamentary etiquette.

#MalcolmOfford is the #ReformUK leader in Scotland & Nigel #Farage's man north of the border. #Offord's extremely offensive and #homophobic comments on #GeorgeMichael show he is unfit to hold any public office.

Congrats to #TheNational newspaper for printing the vile comments.

Does anyone know when the #AlbaParty will be formally de-registered?

I want to celebrate 😈 and would like to plan ahead. #SleepyCuddles and the #Transphobes will be over! 🥂🤣🥂

The #ElectoralCommisions deadline for Alba to submit accounts is 30 April. Alba can't meet that deadline, so it has to deregister before then.

But will it cling on to the end? Or make an earlier exit?

@teruterubozu In **SCOTLAND**? Is that legal?

In England and Wales, I can understand that it may be, but in Scotland surely this is illegal discrimination?

The petition has been turned down. Reply below. I have requested clarification and will let everyone know.

I will not wait with bated breath. Unfortunately with elections coming up and many MSPs not standing again, getting attention is difficult. But we will keep on trying. More after May I hope.
