Here we go.

In the months (and years to come) we will see this despicable individual welcomed at Quaker Meeting Houses, onto 'Anti-Racist' panels and at Marxist literary festivals.

They will know exactly who they are hosting when they do so.

Don't look away.

The oldest hatred returns, this time on the streets of London and other cities. A low and shameful moment for us all. open.substack.com/pub/alexmassie…

New Notes on Nationalism: Yousaf came to power saying his personal defining mission would be being bold with progressive tax powers. It seems his defining mission is as heartfelt as his predecessor's was on education. notesonnationalism.com/p/flip-flop-fi…

1/ Scot Gov at it again, misleading on renewables.

I put in an FOI request asking for briefing docs prepared in advance of the First Minister’s appearance at a private event for clients of the Australian bank Macquarie (see quoted tweet).

Look at the first line on renewables.

Keith Brown claimed Margaret Thatcher had agreed that an SNP Scottish majority at a Westminster election is a mandate for independence.

Ferret Fact Service could not find any evidence of the former prime minister saying this ❌

3/ The FOI also asked for notes of what Humza Yousaf said at the event.

In a highly suspicious move, which cannot possibly be justifiable, *all* of his remarks during the Q&A have been redacted.

If clients of Macquarie can hear what the First Minister has to say, so should we.

Despite it having been comprehensively debunked, The SNP has published the false claim about Margaret Thatcher on its website, putting the party itself in breach of its own code of conduct. snp.org/28716-2/

In the unlikely event of UK Gov agreeing to it, Humza Yousaf says here that he would happily take Scotland out of the United Kingdom, with no need for a referendum, after securing perhaps 35% of the vote at the next general election. And he calls others democracy deniers!

Lots of people dunking on this tweet, but it wasn’t really any more ridiculous than much of their normal output.

Whoever decided that FM desperately needed some applause at SNP conf failed to consult, consider costs or implementation. They’ve further weakened his authority. As for those who described it as ‘best leader’s speech I’ve ever heard’ etc… they just look very foolish.
