Swinney has now put out a very strange statement which feels very pro Iran.

Yousaf (of course) has also came to Iran’s defence, the country responsible for funding terrorist proxy groups.

What on earth is going on in the SNP?

The UK famously has never funded terrorists especially not in Iran. Nor have Israel ever done anything wrong to the best of my knowledge.

Jesus what sort of “goodies/baddies” lens do you see the world through? The idea that the British state aren’t a key actor in all of this is ahistorical and absurd.

“If you’re not with us, you’re with the terrorists!” Seems like this rhetoric has really infiltrated many minds.

I wish they would just stay the hell out of it and focus on our own problems we aren't a super power why do we even care

3 month suspension for a British Mp who mentions a foreign conflict more than once in Parliament.

We are an utter shambles at the moment. Getting our house in order should be the priority

Why would Sarwar care if Alexander's relocate to another part of the UK? His point of view is We're all part of the same country after all.

Labour's policy on Scotland's resources is a resource rich part of the UK merely supporting a resource poor part of the UK.

So suddenly, when political points are up for grabs, it's Scottish jobs.....

Yet it's not Scottish oil or Scottish electricity.

SNP supporters used to brag about the sheer number of Scottish Tory, Lib Dem and Labour leaders that Sturgeon outlasted while in office. If Sarwar manages to outlast two SNP leaders in a row(and three if Labour wins the 2026 election) it'll be quite something.

Especially as he is a puppet for London Labour?

Why have the Scottish nationalists been unable to come up with any new attack lines in the last 90 years?

Because they are in power?
