    *sigh* I understand some of you believe you are sitting on a Scottish political scandal that is NOT BEING COVERED by MSM. I’m really sorry to debunk your excitement but, again, here are some facts: 2016: I was Scot lab candidate at SP21 2019: selected for Gla Shettleston

    Me on BBC Scotland: I'm not convinced that the majority of Scots actually want a second independence referendum right now and I don't believe that an independent Scotland would make the majority of people better off. These points matter. 250000 Scottish kids live in poverty.

    We're fed up with referendums. There is no majority for Scottish independence. Nicola Sturgeon should, for once, focus on the day to day job of governing our country and improving public services. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

    The abuse I am getting from cybernats for calling out the First Minister’s indyref2 sham is very telling. Thin skins and closed minds

    I found myself a teenage single mum in 1999. Under Labour I received working families and childcare tax credits which got me back on my feet. I dread to think what would've happened under the Tories. Don't let anyone tell you Labour and Tory governments are the same.

    Imagine if Nicola Sturgeon put this effort into tackling child poverty.

    Nicola Sturgeon says a Scottish independence referendum "must happen next year" The Scottish first minister says she will demand UK government transfers powers to Holyrood so she can call #indyref2 bbc.in/31mBw81 #SNP19

    With everything going on in Scottish politics you have to question: has there ever been a more patronising line than *you yes yet?* Implying that folk who didn’t agree with the SNP were daft and that it was only a matter of time before your mind would be changed.

    Nearly 250000 kids are living in poverty in Scotland but Scottish Nationalism is different to all other kinds of nationalism and it’s definitely not about flags. Got it?

    I’m really glad Nicola Sturgeon is raising the issue of child poverty. If only she was leader of a government that could do something about it.

    The behaviour of Kate Forbes here, scrolling on her phone, is rude and dismissive.

    "I'm being asked to vote for someone who thinks there's something wrong with me, not because of any views I hold but simply because of who I am. I will not do that." Greens MSP @Ross_Greer sets out why his party opposes the appointment of Kate Forbes as deputy first minister.

    Scots were asked in 2014 whether they wanted independence. They were offered a white paper prospectus and rejected it. The matter is settled. I’m focused on fighting for Labour Governments in Holyrood and Westminster.
