Great to visit Play Works in Broxburn this morning - a brilliant local charity supporting families and giving children a safe place to play.
Eradicating child poverty is my top priority. Tomorrow we will set out the next steps to continue the progress we've made in Scotland.
Some good positive progression on emergency food parcel reduction in Scotland. Showing although not perfect the SNP policies despite limited powers are working.
Think what could be done with independence.

Just heard idiot on BBC news reporting Scotland saying politicians need to answer for the disgraceful scenes at ibrox last night. Fuvk off no they dont. The clubs and their disgraceful fans need answer and put in measures to ensure those thugs are never again at their parks.
On August 29, 2016, The Guardian published a letter by Henry Stewart that became a viral sensation. Written during the "burkini ban" controversy in France, Stewartโs satirical piece argued that while religious dress had never harmed him, "men in suits" were responsible for his unfair dismissal, pension scandals, illegal wars, the global financial crash, and the misery of austerity. He concluded that if society is to dictate attire based on perceived harm, it should "ban suits." โAbout the Author โHenry Stewart is not just a disgruntled reader but a prominent British business thinker and entrepreneur. He is the founder and "Chief Happiness Officer" of Happy Ltd, a consultancy known for a management style built on trust rather than top-down control. โKey Professional Highlights: โThe Happy Manifesto: His acclaimed book argues that employee autonomy and happiness drive productivity. โWorkplace Reform: He is a recognized influencer on the Thinkers50 "Guru Radar" for his work in transforming corporate culture. โPersonal Stakes: The letterโs mention of being "sacked without explanation" refers to a real event in 1987 when he was fired after just 12 days at a pension firm. This experience inspired him to build a company rooted in transparency and respect. โCore Philosophy โStewartโs work and public commentary advocate for coaching over commanding and strengths-based working. He frequently connects management ethics to broader social justice, viewing traditional "command and control" structuresโrepresented by the metaphorical "men in suits"โas a primary source of systemic failure and inequality.
In a world gone mad, brought to its knees by war, poverty, genocide and cruelty there is one indisputable and unmistakable causeโฆ
Religion
Religion gives human beings the perfect excuse to hate and kill each other.
Maybe we need to start again from scratch, without it.

We need to remove ourselves from this Union of greed and betrayal.

Also good material for the cat's litter tray !
Got this through my door today.
I was in.
They didnโt ring the bell.
They neither โmissed meโ nor โwanted to hear my viewsโ.
Fancy making this negative guff your calling card.

Cheerio cheerio starmer. Nobody cares what you think. Your days are numbered. The disrespect is palpable and I'm heartily sick of it
Treated holyrood awfully since its inception. Not news to us in the slightest

Letโs compare BBC Scotland News V BbC Wales. Oh Scotland is all about ferries while Wales tells us about the undermining of Devolution by Labour.
Fact BBC Scotland has an agenda and is hiding the true stories.

With a leaked Labour government memo revealing Starmer's plans to override the devolved governments and impose is will on Scotland and Wales even in devolved matters, devolution has run out of road. It's independence or incorporation into a unitary UK.

It appears that devolution was an event after all, and not a process.

My latest blog piece, some personal musings on what the demise of the Alba party means for the Scottish election in May and the broader independence movement.

Dignity in later life. Protected and non-negotiable.
Make it #BothVotesSNP on Thursday 7th May 2026 for a Scottish Government that is on your side.
I have noticed that arrangement of the Butcher's Apron.
The flag never used to bother me but i can now say that i loathe the sight of it.๐คฎ
It's a nice tune but i'd love Scotland the Brave with bagpipes !
Reform UK - we should stop all refugees and asylum seekers coming to the UK.
Also Reform UK - we should bomb Iran as part of Trump's illegal war and create thousands of refugees fleeing the destruction caused by the UK military.
Right wing press
Trans person commits violent crime - trans people are violent criminals & a threat to women and children.
Migrant commits violent crime - Migrants are violent criminals & a threat to women and children.
White man commits violent crime - this is about the actions of one individual.
I came out as gay in 1982 as the aids epidemic hit. The way trans people are being demonised now is the exact same bigoted playbook which was used against gay men in the 1980s. It was a terrible time, my first lover died, but we came out the other side stronger as a community. Don't lose hope.
Explains a lot for me
Reform councillor Graham Eardley has been suspended for behaving so aggressively towards a female volunteer that security had to escort him out. Thatโs at least 63 Reform councillors gone in ten months โ nearly one in ten!
I seem to have missed Sarwars interviews about his Scottish Labour scandals:-
Sean Morton
Pam Duncan-Glancy
Colin Smyth
David Graham
Foysol Choudhury
Joani Reid
Mandelson
Matt Doyle
I thought we had an impartial state TV broadcaster that would highlight these stories?
