It was predictable that the Knesset would make a meal out of the Trump visit - but not necessarily the full 26 course tasting variety. Had to switch off.

Yet again, 3pts against the odds. If we get to the World Cup, must do better!

"You'll have had your debate" seemed the prevailing sentiment from the SNP hierarchy. Listening to it all, it appeared more like preferring caution to courage.

How did this guy ever get put in charge of medicine in our country? He's going to kill a lot of children.

Feral tom cat we call Smokey hasn’t been seen for several days…usually drops by for a meal…not lately…he’s disappeared like this before so this could just be another of his adventures/romances…but, life is tough for country cats who don’t trust humans…

John Swinney seems to think that shouting louder confers added legitimacy.

2026 is not 2011. Not only is the cast different, but instead of a PM who expected victory in a referendum, we have one who constantly says there will not be another. Time to ditch the begging bowl.

How about a bit of urgency finishing that job?

John Swinney @johnswinney.bsky.social · 4d

Arrived in Aberdeen for #SNP25.

This conference is about Scotland’s future - and who gets to decide it.

Together, let’s finish the job. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

“We took the freedom of speech away”.

And they will unironically defend him hearing this.

Strikes me that President Trump v President Xi is something of a catchweight contest that the US is unlikely to win.

I've watched countless Scotland games where we played quite well but got stuffed. Last night we were second best to Greece but somehow won. Happy to accept final score!
