Pointless, performative, petty politicking. State the blatantly obvious, deliver nothing. Meanwhile, the problems that fuel the far-right reactionary “look how bad things are” narrative go unresolved. But it’s to be expected from @johnswinney.bsky.social, an FM big on rhetoric, low on delivery
While Labour and the Tories chase Reform’s rhetoric, the SNP under my leadership will always focus on what matters: serving Scotland and staying true to our progressive values.
In short, delivering progress for Scotland. 🏴
