Any new village in the highlands a good thing imo. Where there is housing, work will follow, and Skye housing has been attrocious for decades

Thank you Andy, it's been a pleasure to enjoy you over the years. Please don't be a pundit

Big blow to the SNP, but not to Independence. This is 100% a fuck off Tories vote, next election was always going to be more telling. Holyrood 2026

First things first: bring your ID!

Polls are open, voting booths are setup, counts are being prepared, Ruth Davidson is peeking at your postal votes already, party campaigning is suspended, and the media are obsessed with dogs at polling stations.

And even if you think it's shit and pointless, remember your forebearers literally have died for your right to wield that pencil, cross that box, and chose. You can chose to spoil, you can chose a different government, in Scotland you can chose a real oposition, and in certain seats you can choose to believe in the ghost of Charles Kennedy. And Tories can choose to stay home, save lives, and protect the NHS.

Who's going early? Anyone got a queue? Any predictions for Scottish seats? (we're down to 57) Anyone know any candidates?

Pinch of salt with all this, anyone going to be staying up? Anyone doing a party?

And neither WM party want to raise taxes anywhere. Gonna get filthy in Edinburgh, ECC struggling with everything right now (guess who's in charge there!)

Scotland's shame on display here. High time hate marches are vastly curtailed

Shambles is the word. Not enough printing capacity? Not enough IT staff to run the print job? Not enough posties to deliver or sort? This should surely have been known about 2 weeks ago! We're less than a week out now and anyone without a ballot in hand or in the post across the highlands and islands is now unlikely to have their votes count

Great to hear that Parkinsons sufferers can look forward to some respite

Sure thing, Cabinet member has no clue at all... Can't believe we don't get to see his face on election night getting 200 votes

100th minute, feels bad. I got Switzerland in the work draw at least!

Still a big walk! But fantastic to see our right to roam laws being literally reinforced here. Anyone up the hills this weekend?

What a great match, well done to Glasgow, that's double league winners compared to zero Edinburgh!

2nd half was all Glasgow, great to see them hold off the best attacking team to 1 try and what a shift from the 23. What a season, this has to knock on to Scotland next year

Dear Scots, those have been a wonderful couple of days with you. I could not be a happier mayor. You are always welcome to come back to Cologne! #tartanarmy @ScotlandNT #euro2024

Edinburgh buskers are all crap, except we get the better bagpipers, even though we have a permit system. All sensible stuff, here's to the buskers!

Love the recognition of Palestine in here, and half of MPs sad to see, fptp really is abysmal, but given that was the same policy as last WM election: isn't this insane?

222
 
 

Drosses potential replacement. Up to the SNP now then. I love how whomever knew about this waited until nominations were closed, quality shithousery. Whom else will see a suspension before they they see returns?

Great news for Dundee! Can't wait to go visit when up and running

In a blow to Green supporters everywhere, Swinney further comdemns us all. Labour say no new licenses. You can now guess where SGP votes will be going
