| 1640987153936318464 | Remember folks... When #GE2024 comes around @ScottishLabour posters and leaflets will have images of @AnasSarwar.

| 1641084506080698368 | Jackie Baillie (@jackiebmsp) calls Humza Yousaf's cabinet 'a bunch of b rate politicians'. The @ScottishLabour MSP says the SNP 'don't have a mandate from the country' and calls for an election. https://t.co/QY9KkBQQG6 | 191 |
| 1641037132813811712 | Keir Starmer is doing to @uklabour in the rest of the UK what @glasgowmurphy and @johnmcternan did to @ScottishLabour in 2015. Destroying it from the inside. He's Nick Clegg and Jo Swinson x100. He will go down in history as the man that killed Labour #LabourIsDead | 146 |

| 1638629693174984708 | Today, Nicola Sturgeon apologised for the Forced Adoption scandal, describing it as one of the "worst injustices in our history."
