- Well done to Glasgow, our commonwealth city, and to the people of Scotland for such a incredible support
- Let's not dwell on the distance we've fallen short - let us dwell on the distance we have travelled
- Heading home to Strichen. With love and thanks from Moira and I for all your kind messages of support.
- Is the UK seriously going to join in military action against Syria with no real examination of evidence, no strategy beyond Presidential tweet and no parliamentary assent? Quite incredible.
- Replying to @AlexSalmondIt is designed to diminish the status of our Parliament and the First Minister. Part of becoming independent is about thinking independently, not subserviently. John should have politely declined the meeting with the words “Scotland is a country not a county”. (5/5)
- Self-identification was the worst legislation in the history of devolution. It divided the country, weakened the political process and alienated much of the women’s movement from their own Parliament (1/2)
- Unionists should beware in their glee as the lesson of history is that you can postpone democracy but you cannot deny it. (1/5)
- This is the sort of adolescent political posturing which could cost tens of thousands of skilled jobs across the UK, but concentrated in the North East of Scotland. Miliband should remember that in Government, careless talk costs jobs. (1/4)BREAKING: Ed Miliband, Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, has ordered an immediate ban on new drilling in the North Sea More to follow
Readers added contextThe Government's Department of Energy Security and Net Zero has denied these claims. thenational.scot/news/24445188.… - STATEMENT ON SIR SEAN CONNERY FROM ALEX SALMOND “The world’s greatest Scot, the last of the real Hollywood stars, the definitive Bond” #SeanConnery #ScotlandForever
- For any independence supporter to trust a single word the BBC, or associated organisation, say is one of the great mistakes in life. The BBC’s venomous and institutional bias against Scottish independence was demonstrated during the referendum and remains to this day (1/8)
- The BBC have badly let people down in their coverage of the Queen’s passing. The ongoing attempt to appropriate a display of Scottish respect & affection for our late monarch to peddle a state political line, shows the extent of BBC departure from broadcasting standards. (1/4)
