Craig @craignotkreg.bsky.social · 10/10/2026What data are you using for Scotland? The greens got a higher list vote than the Tories and LDs in May, and also had the highest list vote in multiple constituencies, so it's strange they have nothing in this projection 220
Craig @craignotkreg.bsky.social · 07/10/2026This is why the indyref2 question is the tip of the devolution iceberg; the UK sees it more as appeasement rather than a constitutional settlement à la Germany Imo, 2/3 majority of MSPs should be the threshold for a referendum on any changes to devolution - whether that's an increase or decrease 000
Craig @craignotkreg.bsky.social · 07/10/2026This is why the current settlement, at the very least, should have robust protections to stop a WM majority culling devolution overnight. I feel we underestimate the fact a Reform gov might just do that, especially since their Scottish branch are somewhat anti-devolution 100
Craig @craignotkreg.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I also think James Blunt saved her skin by saying she was the recruit. Everyone would expect Hannah to be killed, so not killing her would spark suspicion Meanwhile, Jerry has shown herself to be a liability in the tasks and probably won't be voted out as a traitor 010
Craig @craignotkreg.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Maybe just commiting to the Gaelic name could be a way to distinguish them? I feel their voters are neutral to Gaelic at worst, and "Pàrtaidh Uaine" is somewhat easy to say with the limited Gaelic knowledge your average Scot has Would also deal with the IGV issue 000
Craig @craignotkreg.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Seriously tho, the Euro should allow each country to design their own notes (with obvious limitations) like the Scottish banks do. Would make it the peak currency! 130
Craig @craignotkreg.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I'm against adopting the Euro for purely aesthetic reasons. Let me keep my Wonder Woman fivers, tenner otters, and twenty squirrels, then we can talk. It's all legal tender, goddammit! 130
Craig @craignotkreg.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Say what you will about the BBC, but it's clear they have a quota in big shows like this (eg Strictly, Traitors) for at least ONE contestant from EACH of the Celtic nations I may bemoan the token Scot who was obviously the only person they could find, but that's better than no Scot at all! 000
Craig @craignotkreg.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I get it may be a "hassle" to recruit outwith the South of England, but that means they should update their processes Stuff like this gets shrugged off by English folk, who then get shocked when Celts say they want to leave a country that's failing to represent us 101
Craig @craignotkreg.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Do I love Nigella? Yes. Do I think it was a choice to have NO Celts in Bake Off for the second time? Also, yes. #GreatEnglishBakeOff 100

Craig @craignotkreg.bsky.social · 26/09/2026As someone in their mid-twenties (covid hit during my second year at uni) I think that's part of the issue with folk my age, and part of the reason we're having a loneliness epidemic.

Craig @craignotkreg.bsky.social · 14/09/2026My counter to that is the climate crisis - the country was on fire this summer, and Burnham decided to live up to his namesake like an Ellie Goulding song... 111
Craig @craignotkreg.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I'm not suggesting we should be chucking French and German from ticket machines, but we should've added Gaelic to them when we updated all the signs My radical suggestion is that all train announcements should be in Gaelic and English. We need to make the language more visible for it to survive 010
Craig @craignotkreg.bsky.social · 11/09/2026It's the fact loads of basic digital services just AREN'T available in Gaelic or Scots. Gaelic train station signs are nice and all, but purely symbolic and kinda useless if YOU CANNAE BUY A TICKET IN GAELIC FAE A MACHINE! 110
Craig @craignotkreg.bsky.social · 07/09/2026That's the proposal they should've started with, tbh. Part of me feels like they intentionally put the Dean Bridge route in as a red herring so they'd have an easy way to cancel the whole project 000
Craig @craignotkreg.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I feel that isn't a completely fair read. Many preferred the Dean bridge route as you would be sacrificing car infrastructure instead of pedestrian infrastructure The issue is, they shouldn't've allowed there to be the Dean bridge option if it were too expensive to commit to in the first place! 100
Craig @craignotkreg.bsky.social · 25/08/2026The attitude of some English folk when talking about allowing indyref2, not even independence itself, just strengths my resolve for leaving the UK, especially now we're over a decade on from it I do feel it is a symptom of England needing some decentralisation, however 120

Craig @craignotkreg.bsky.social · 14/08/2026I feel so bad for Q too cause they shouldn't've needed to apologise for being taken so badly out of context by folk who, let's be honest, only cared about the issue as far as it could be used as a political weapon 061
Craig @craignotkreg.bsky.social · 14/08/2026It's infuriating cause it's not even their first rodeo. There was the whole "no more prisons" thing Kate Nevens said that was taken out of context and flown about by even the BBC They need better responses considering how ready the establishment is for bad faith interpretations 120
Craig @craignotkreg.bsky.social · 08/08/2026I think a Monica Lennon-led Labour could potentially do it if she were to appeal to the soft-nats. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if the party imploded out of spite for having a centre-left leader of the *checks notes* nominally centre-left party 010

Reposted by CraigBrent Toderian @brenttoderian.bsky.social · 26/07/2026To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars. Even if those cars are electric. And then there’s all the parking. OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money, emissions, pollution, noise etc. Choices. Simple. 23952101443
Craig @craignotkreg.bsky.social · 25/07/2026It would disincentivise trying to jump ship to WM during UK (by-)elections, or being shoe-horned into the Lords like Sarwar. I feel an exception should be made in cases of ill-health or death, however MSPs are elected for 5 years, so there should be some consequence for not meeting that mandate 000
Craig @craignotkreg.bsky.social · 24/07/2026It would be an easy symbol to the diversity of the EU and would allow more exciting notes Outwith imperialists like Napoleon, there aren't many figures that unite the whole of the EU easily 020
Craig @craignotkreg.bsky.social · 24/07/2026If Scotland can survive with 3 different banknote types, I feel like the Eurozone can survive with each of the 21 countries having their own notes Just create a standard template with the same checks and allow each country to do their own thing within that - outwith including controversial figures 120
Craig @craignotkreg.bsky.social · 22/07/2026I'm hoping there is one, but mainly because I'd like a Scottish Green MP or two Considering he did say "10 year plan", I'm guessing we'll have one by the end of the year 000
Craig @craignotkreg.bsky.social · 22/07/2026I think it should just go to the next party in the list (so a Green in this case; Reform in place of the NE Tory that moved to WM) as a regional by-election would be a logistical nightmare 100
