I want to say something about living with acute dyslexia because Twitter can be a pretty unforgiving place for people with unseen challenges.
Every day I get picked up on something I write. Mostly it’s kindly or humorous which is appreciated.
Sometimes it’s sneering or brutal – at Hove, England

‘The scale of deaths in individual care homes across Scotland was unlawfully kept secret by an arm of the Scottish Government for almost eight months’
Unlawfully kept secret by an arm of the Scottish Government. Let that sink in.

The future trade deal with 🇦🇺 is right now being thrashed out in the Cabinet.

1/ Since no one asked, here's a thread on the UK-Australia FTA.
Biases on the table:
- I was an Australian trade negotiator
- I have trained many of DIT's negotiators, likely including some of the ones working on this FTA
- I'm neoliberal scum who generally thinks tariffs = bad

Nicola Sturgeon tries to duck sleaze scandal by shuffling Ferguson Ewing out of cabinet.
He is the minister who had the un-minuted dinners with dodgy banker Greensill & Sanjeev Gupta (fraud office investigating). He’s also being investigated for allegedly bullying civil servants

John Swinney is no longer the education secretary, being moved by the FM to become ‘minister in charge of covid recovery’ (still no health secretary appointed yet)
So let’s review John Swinney’s five years heading up Scottish education.

Well worth reading this shrewd analysis from @afneil that convincingly throws cold water over the short-term hopes of Scottish nationalists.

Nicola Sturgeon on GMB: “we currently export more to the rest of the world than what we export to the rest of the U.K.”
Her own government source says otherwise. Looks like someone’s been telling a wee porky.

Nicola Sturgeon: independence is "essential" to Scotland's recovery from the pandemic and "not a distraction"
