If he is not questioned then he need not answer. The media in Scotland shield Sarwar and the Unionist parties in general from any scrutiny, which is reserved for the Scottish Government and the independence case in particular. If we have English parties being nurtured by English based media π
Maya Angelou poet & writer read I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings & her poetry, Still I Rise and Phenomenal Woman.
Amelia Earhardt the woman who had such a passion for flying. She was a brave adventurer & a fine example to all girls who dream.
Violette Szabo is a real heroine ofWWII . She was recruited by the SOE & airdropped into occupied France. Captured,tortured but didnβt break so they shot her. Brave, loyal & a great example of strength.
Stunning songwriter & singer Dolly Parton. She became rich & famous but stayed married to her husband & never let celebrity life make her forget the poverty she rose from. Her love of words & her astonishing philanthropic work giving millions of books to poor kid & families like hers had been.
My heroines:
On International Womenβs Day these four are women who inspire me.They epitomise the true greatness of our sex, overcoming difficulties, witj imagination,bravery,loyalty & generosity. Love is our weapon.

Shame then that it ran out 7 years ago.
I was in a mood today. An unwelcomed personal event, poor sleep, allergies, and the horrors in the news. So in tonight's meditation I looked to look at that mood. To appreciate its color and temperature and texture. Like looking at a bloom and knowing β it's a display.

On Womenβs Day, I want to tell you about MagdΔ BankaitΔ. During the Lithuanian press ban 1864-1904, she smuggled Lithuanian books across the Prussian-Russian border. Lost all her teeth in an interrogation, deported to Siberia and carried on once back. Heroine died in a shelter for homeless.
The truth is plain, simple, and grotesque. Once you see it, what now?
Scotland, we can make this happen if most of the people voting SNP1 also vote Greens2.
(That's voting SNP in the Constituency vote and Greens in the Regional List vote !!)

David Lammy: "... because Cyprus is part of NATO"
erm, Cyprus is not a member of NATO. Maybe its just a slip of the tongue? Except he repeats the claim just a minute later
"... Cyprus is a NATO country"
Does the deputy PM not know that Cyprus isn't a member of a NATO?
We bombed a girls elementary school.
Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
Yet another poll showing that the SNP are going to do so well in the Constituency votes, that they will receive ZERO Regional List seats
A vote for the SNP in the Regional List effectively goes straight in the bin
For Indy vote :
Constituency : SNP Candidate
Regional List : Scottish Greens

Barbara Newhall Follett (1914-1939?) was an American child prodigy. Her first novel, The House Without Windows, was published in 1927, when she was only 12. Her second novel was a betseller when she was 14. In December 1939, aged 25, she disappeared. She has never been found. #CelebratingWomen
This is an interesting thread that ignores the fact many in Scotland who campaign actively for independence are English. The wish for Scottish independence is not anti English. It is a pragmatic point of view that the best people to decide Scotlands future and laws are the people who live here.
Ooft! Joani Reid claimed: βI am not part of my husbandβs business activities.β However, two of her husband's consultancy businesses gave her consultancy business interest free loans with no fixed repayment terms.
