Ding Ding Ding! Round 5 Salmond and Sturgeon

[Blurberoo]

New thread...

The SNP are sneaky bastards.

They've had the analysis report on the GRA consultation since 12 March & have published it or the consultation responses.

@WouldBeGood

I reckon he’s standing.

Joanna Cherry....???

I wonder if JC would jump ship.

It's a big move. Huge if she did that.

I’d love to be able to vote for her!!

I just read there's an announcement at 2 pm. I bet he's standing. Hold on to your seats. We need bit of excitement.

Question is whether he'll have anyone else with him (if no women it will look ropey), and where they'll be standing. I hope there's some strategy involved and not just pique. And that there's a position on women's rights.

Joanna Cherry....???

I wondered about this a while ago but it doesn't fit with her taking time out for health reasons IMO

"He's secured independence via the United Nations? He told Nicola but of course it slipped her mind..."

😂

This has to be a huge wind up.

He's secured the s30 agreement & will declare the election a plebiscite & independence on 7th may?

I could guess all day long - I'm betting it's not as 'huge' as is being built up to be.

But if JC has defected? 😲

We're going to need a new thread...

Grousebeater is fairly close to AS I think - I believe AS called him when he was ill recently. My first thought was him standing as a constituency rather than list candidate but it sounds like something else.

What is the man up to? It's rather amusing

It is 😁

He's found the missing Indy funds & has passed the details to the relevant authorities?

He's cut a deal with her maj to become king of Scotland so he can secure our freeeeeeeeedoooooommmmmm!

😂

What title for the next thread?

Is this still Salmond v sturgeon?

Or shall we go for the fall out continues?

🤔

The fall out continues sounds good - still thread 6 as I think it looks like this has a while to run!

Indeed

"Alex Salmond Inquiry: Nicola Sturgeon's chief of staff received thousands in taxpayer-funded legal advice"

A relevant story which just popped up on twitter - cost of legal advice and coaching to civil servants who appeared at the committee

I think I'd be asking for a refund on the coaching

Great minds 😄

Joan McAlpine Tweet

"Big event happening today! I am getting my vaccine "

This seems to be a rich source of comedy today.

tweet

"Chalk Squad and Salmond Team fully mobilised in riot gear as guilty Salmond rampages through Bute House."

Trying this to see if it works

New thread 6

🤞

Live stream of the Salmond press conference at 2pm here on YouTube

Well that's handy! 👍

Totally thick question, but as it's an anonymous forum I'll ask! If he's standing, as what? An MSP? So he'd potentially be an MSP with Nicola Sturgeon as his boss?

I've asked again on the new thread!

@TheShadowyFeminist just had a very quick skim of the GRA consultation analysis - wow how damning !!!

It's shady AF.

The way the SNP manipulate everything they touch, knowing they can do it cos there's no one that can stop them, really sickens me.
