Neil Broadfoot @nlbro.bsky.social · 13/06/2025When is it going to be enough, @johnswinney.bsky.social? When are you going to show a spine and sack this disrespectful, incompetent oaf who is clearly unfit for public office? Or is this going to be another example of party before principle? 010

Neil Broadfoot @nlbro.bsky.social · 02/05/2025And then, somehow, there were ten. The hardest book I’ve ever had to write. Started it as a son, ended it as an orphan. Hope you all enjoy it… amzn.eu/d/f3Y6Ta6 264
Neil Broadfoot @nlbro.bsky.social · 24/04/2025Pointless, performative, petty politicking. State the blatantly obvious, deliver nothing. Meanwhile, the problems that fuel the far-right reactionary “look how bad things are” narrative go unresolved. But it’s to be expected from @johnswinney.bsky.social, an FM big on rhetoric, low on delivery 020
Neil Broadfoot @nlbro.bsky.social · 16/04/2025The £19k pay rise is morally reprehensible and totally unjustifiable. 100
Neil Broadfoot @nlbro.bsky.social · 16/04/2025“For those who keep saying Scotland’s performance is the best in the UK – that may well be true – but is being the ‘least worst’.. something to be lauding?” - Dr John-Paul Loughrey, vice-president (Scotland) Royal College of Emergency Medicine. Don’t deflect. People die due to Gray’s incompetence 200
Neil Broadfoot @nlbro.bsky.social · 15/04/2025A £19k pay bump for, say, a health secretary who presides over a crisis-hit NHS and misleads parliament is ok? Question - what does 8% mean in real terms for SNHS staff? I’d guess it’s less than £19k. Also, just a reminder - health is fully devolved. The buck stops with Scottish Government 100
Neil Broadfoot @nlbro.bsky.social · 14/04/2025So you’re happy with the use of the line “times are tough” while ministers who are failing in their briefs are awarded £19k in pay rises? What would a £19k bump mean to, say, NHS staff? It’s hypocritical, petty politicking from a First Minister who is all spin and no substance 100
Neil Broadfoot @nlbro.bsky.social · 14/04/2025So tough you waved through £19k pay rises for your ministers, including the inept Neil Grey, who insulted dementia sufferers, misled parliament and took a ministerial car to the football. These Spad-spun lines to take don’t work in the glare of such hypocrisy, John 121

Neil Broadfoot @nlbro.bsky.social · 17/02/2025Who do I blackmail for a copy of this? (And yours too, Russel, come to think of it!) 110
Neil Broadfoot @nlbro.bsky.social · 12/02/2025Absolutely loved this book. It’s a haunting, harrowing and utterly absorbing study of how far a father will go to protect a family indelibly stained by darkness. I read it months ago and I’m still thinking about it. Pre-order now, thank me later… 161
