Seen quite a few people saying John Swinney was daft to state that an SNP majority would constitute a mandate for a referendum. I suspect he knew exactly what he was doing, as it allowed him to campaign on indy issues but, having "failed" to meet the requirement, can now kick the can down the road for another five years.

Try setting yourself up as the "Conservation Union Party" or the "Labouring Red Rose Party" and see how far you get.
It's not even "just" hypothetical confusion either.
"'Independent Green Voice', a fake party [...] with a logo that has the word “Green” prominent, and stands exclusively to confuse voters and rob the real Greens of votes. They definitely cost the Greens one seat in 2021, and quite likely two."

Dara O'Briain: "I get really pissed off when people give out about crime going up when the numbers are definitely going down. And if you say the numbers are going down, they go, 'but the FEAR of crime is rising'. Well so what? Zombies are at an all-time low level, but the fear of zombies could be incredibly high. It doesn't mean we have to have government policies to deal with the fear of zombies. It's ridiculous."

Maybe just outdated info or old habits? On Twitter it was often suggested to mute rather than block trolls during a pile on, as then they wouldn't know they'd been blocked and swap to another account.

I tick pretty much all these boxes too. Since I came back to Scotland I've left the SNP and joined the Greens. And despite my reservations on Corbyn I did vote for him twice while I lived down south.

Honestly I shit on Corbyn a bit too, because he was dreadful opposing Brexit and I didn't think he was a great party leader. And I still don't, although needless to say as a human being he's parsecs ahead of the others. Plus at the time I was fully behind Nicola Sturgeon. And possibly the London lib types' absolute rejection of Scottish independence is why I went off them too, especially once Brexit became irreversible.

I'm an ex-Remainiacs listener too. There's a whole bunch of clouty people who ceased to exist the day I left Twitter, and I genuinely can't tell whether my near 100% disdain for them is due to the move itself, or me shifting ever-leftwards. But it's a struggle to keep informed when so many of the media folk are firmly ensconced in that middle-class London-centric metro-liberal establishment bubble.

I know that when ScotGov revised the income tax bands they claimed that further increasing the higher bands would have reduced the overall tax take. I have no idea how rigorous the methodology was behind this claim.

Remember when the SNP won control of #Glasgow City council in 2017, it having been under Labour control for decades?
Remember the Labour-led trade unions then immediately started industrial action, demanding the SNP settle a decades-long equal pay dispute for women council workers?
Remember it then came to light that the previous Labour administrations had spent £2.5 million FIGHTING the equal pay claims?
No change. Labour - a party of hypocrites and liars.

This is an interesting, if uncritical, interview with Greg Jackson, CEO of Octopus Energy. He mentions that if regional pricing was in operation in the UK energy market, #Scotland would have the cheapest electricity in Europe (see from 10m 43s).
I'll let you decide what mix of political issues has prevented Westminster from implementing regional pricing, but we in Scotland are paying through the nose for their intransigence.

Remember 20-ish years ago, when the UK narrative was of concern that politics was becoming irrelevant, and people were disengaging because Tory/Lib/Lab were all milquetoast centrists? Hard not to see social media manipulation as a significant factor in the radicalism that's happened since.

Excuse my repetition; I've asked this before but nobody has ever come up with anything.
So... in Scotland we get various benefits that aren't offered in England. Free elderly care and no uni tuition fees are the big ones, but also free prescriptions, free hospital parking, baby box etc.
The funding ScotGov receives for these devolved areas is calculated to be exactly equivalent to UKGov's spending. So my question is this: what does England get instead of these things that Scotland doesn't?
