I had 3-4 weeks off Twitter with autistic burnout recently & my engagement is right down (also due to standing up to a vile group of trolls on here-they reported me lots, restricting my reach). If you see this photo it would be so ace if you could RT it or drop me a quick hello if you have a moment, both of which help an account get back on track. I also hope these little violas ping some floral dopamine in your meat computer & give you a small lift 🌿

It sounds far-fetched, but the story starts in Dingwall, in the Scottish Highlands.

Buy them quick before the prices shoot up to, like, a million quid, or something !!

I have made the amazing discovery (hitherto unknown to man) that if you slice the bottom 1/4 inch off a wilted cabbage to refresh the stump and leave it in a dish of water for a few hours, it will restore a glory to behold; and with a rinse, delicious eating outer leaves as well.

Today’s 25 minute flight against a 6 to 8 hour train journey. Occupancy of the flight today gave it the same carbon emissions as the train, if not slightly lower.

NEW: Sky News understands the Scottish Government will charter a flight to repatriate Alex Salmond’s body after the Foreign Office rejected requests for RAF aircraft to get involved.
Scottish Govt officials still working on final details.

Compare and contrast ferry fares for a car with 4 passengers one way.
Ardrossan to Brodick £37 (55 min)
Portsmouth to Fishguard £91.25 (45 min)
The Scottish SNP Government introduced Road Equivalent Tariff for ferry fares in 2015.

.@JohnSwinney "What I expect as First Minister of Scotland is that I will have a direct relationship with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. So that's the Channel of communication that I will have, I won't be dealing through envoys."
Well said FM

Those complaining that Scotland has no local reps at the Council of the Nations & Regions (CNR) miss the point that the CNR is designed to demote Scotland to a local region. As far as the CNR is concerned John Swinney is the local rep has the same status as the English Mayors.

"The lady at the charity shop told me she wishes ppl wd clear out their kids' old toys in the lead up to Xmas, rather than after, because she always sees parents (who might be strapped for cash) looking for toys for their little ones in the days before Xmas."

Labour’s first choices have been devastating for my Highland constituents.
My constituency has an ageing demographic, high fuel poverty and below freezing temperatures.
-2C in Kinbrace, -4C in Altnaharra this week.
Far from change, this new govt looks just like the old one.

Lest we forget.
Lest those who confused the science with conspiracy theories keep up their Siren songs.
Lest another pandemic arises, and people shrug, and think to party on.

The big issue on the doorsteps in Cromarty Firth has definitely been Labour’s cut to winter fuel payments.

Q: I want to talk to you about the optics of it. U claimed £4.5k hols, £16k clothing, £35k football, £17k tix. May be human reasons for it, but do u understand optics of it when you're the PM who said you'd do politics differently & looks like you're claiming loads of freebies?
'For some people it looked like you were going to do politics differently and now they're seeing that you're claiming lots of freebies.'
