    Sorry, but I completely admire her for this position (& her eloquence). The kind of feminist that schooled me in the 80s, for which I am forever grateful. Bravo, Nicola:

    The wee yin—who is, in truth, a titan—doing really well, under a major US media spotlight. And what a champ @Trevornoah is too. @GretaThunberg

    I’ll vote eco-socialist in an Indy Scotland. *But we need Indy first*. If you are SNP swithering to Labour, think again. Scotland’s agenda will be steam-rolled over if SNP seats are lost in a Starmer landslide. Jings, they’re FAR from perfect… but keep the heid. Vote @theSNP

    “Is there a universe in which the United States could afford to lose its nuclear base in Scotland?” “No”. The basic plot mechanism of Netflix’s The Diplomat. You may now understand the media-political lock-out of a nuke-free Scots Indy

    We’d love Billy Connolly anyway: a Scottish working class life lived to the fullest. But he expresses his shift to indy beautifully: “If Scotland would like it, I would like it”. Millions more behind that sentiment, I hope 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿:

    A scunner. But it’s been evident for a while that @NicolaSturgeon wants to do good works globally, based on high principles. Being a Scots indy politician, battling choobs day in day out, maybe not her best pathway for that. I wish her all the very best thenational.scot/news/23322727.…

    How does Kaye Adams get away with trailing her show on a second indyref in exclusively negative terms? “Critics have said it is a reckless move, it is out of touch, & the FM should be concentrating on other matters… what do you think?” I think 50% of your lines are missing…
