Interesting look at Englishness and the SNP/independence movement, by @leaskyd.bsky.social, focusing on the SNP's English-born/raised candidates next year.

Includes some newly published @ipsosinscotland.bsky.social data on birthplace v. constitutional and party preferences.
Meet the English-born Scottish nationalists running for the SNP
As more people from south of the border settle in Scotland the party is increasingly choosing candidates who are not originally from Scotland

The EHRC has been reduced to a handful to culture warriors riffing on the court judgements of their peers to convert those judgements into whatever their movements wanted them to mean.

ILGA's annual Rainbow Report highlighted that the ongoing treatment of refugees, migrants and people seeking asylum continues to put these communities at serious risk.

This new strain of “I went to London. I saw some social problems that were the predictable cause of not spending enough on the safety net and on infrastructure. I decided it was the fault of immigrants. Also, London is finished but also too expensive” talk, among other things, is just loser talk.

Desperately sad to learn of the death of Peter Krykant, an indomitable campaigner who brought Scotland's drugs deaths crisis into the light and kept it there, and without whom The Thistle, the UK's first legal drugs consumption room, would not exist

My name’s Murray Visentin. I’ve lived & worked my whole life here in the ward and now live in Hutchison with my family. I work in the big Asda where many of you shop. I care deeply about our community, and I’m standing to be your SNP councillor to fight for the people and place I call home.

Good on those MSPs and staffers who have signed this. It'd be great to see others sign now also
The letter, which is now available online for other MSPs and parliamentary staff to add their names to, has already been signed by a number of former Scottish government ministers including Elena Whitham and Emma Roddick, the deputy leader of the Scottish National party, Keith Brown, and the leaders of the Scottish Lib Dems and the Scottish Greens, Alex Cole-Hamilton, Lorna Slater and Patrick Harvie. It has the support of MSPs from four of the five main parties at Holyrood, including the former Labour leadership contender Monica Lennon. Hannah Bardell, the former SNP MP who organised the letter working with the Good Law Project, said she expected more Holyrood politicians and staff to sign up now that the concerns had been made public. “I’ve spoken to many MSPs who feel huge concern about this decision. I hope this can move the debate forward and that the corporate body can rethink their decision just like other organisations have done,” she said.

Here’s Keir Starmer’s speech to Labour MPs tonight, hitting a lot of the notes they’ve been asking for and perhaps a tacit acknowledgment that the government now needs to fight Farage rather than imitate

He says: The Conservatives are not our principal opponent. Reform are our main rivals for power

Politicians During Mental Health Awareness Month
4 panel comic Panel 1: Politician on podium saying “Wooo! Let’s talk about mental health awareness! Panel 2: Audience member with raised hand says “And also funding for mental health services?” Panel 3: Politician presses button that triggers two rockets to pop out the sides of the podium Panel 4: Politician makes a swift exit through the skylight above, mercifully avoiding any tricky questions about actually providing substantial care for people with metal health issues.

🧵 Migration strengthens Scotland.

It boosts tax revenue, sustains our NHS, and fuels businesses as employers and customers.

Scotland is open, welcoming, and thriving with diversity.
