As we all know the SNP were the largest party in the Scottish Elections in May, and whilst an SNP majority would have been lovely it was sadly not to be. So we have had to enter into negotiations with our friends in the @ScottishGreens. 1/16

We have much in common with the Scottish Greens, and quite a few differences too. We were quietly impressed with how @patrickharvie and @lornaslater conducted themselves during the campaign and congratulate them on their success in it. 2/16

It was recently reported that we in @theSNP are close to an agreement with the Scottish Greens. 3/16

Now we're just a humble wee local Party Branch, trying to help our newly elected @KarenAdamMSP wherever we can and get ready for the next campaign. We can't report on how true or untrue this is, but given our Party Synergies it surely can't be a bad thing. 4/16

But reaction to this story has been amazing. Check out what the @ScotTories Branch Office had to say... 5/16

Now that was to be expected, but they have short memories. Thankfully we were there to remind them... 6/16

The @ScottishLibDems wisely decided to stay quiet, they don't have fond memories of coalitions and they are still suffering from the after effects of one... 7/16

During the May election @AnasSarwar succeeded in coming across as the "grown up in the room" 8/16

So this intervention on the same subject from him today was quite a surprise. Accusing the Scottish Greens of being a Branch Office! Really? Is that where you want to go? 9/16

OK then buddy you asked for it.... 10/16

Now just out of interest we did a wee bit of research on the electoral commission website. This is the section with all UK Registered Political Parties with the word "Scottish" in their name..... Have a look on it and tell us who you see.... and who you don't.... 11/16

For some inexplicable reason we didn't see @ScottishLabour anywhere did you? We found UK Labour quite easily.... HQ, in London... Leader, @Keir_Starmer... We don't see @AnasSarwar anywhere there.... 12/16

In fact the only thing "registered" as Scottish Labour is this Emblem. So Anas hasn't learned from the experience of Johann Lamont. I think this is "emblematic" of their problems. 13/16

After checking out "Scottish Labour Emblem" we decided to check out both Green Parties, and yes they are both separate and distinct political parties. as seen below... 14/16

Thankfully we were there to make Anas Sarwar aware of the "Irony" 15/16

So the only 2 TRULY Scottish Parties to win any seats, @theSNP and the @scottishgreens will take it from here Anas.

Good luck leading your...... er...... emblem? 🤔 16/16
