- JOHN Swinney was mocked by rivals for complaining about the polarisation of Scottish politics - despite admitting he’s contributed to it.
The newly-appointed SNP leader has been on the frontbenches at Holyrood for the majority of the time his party has been in power since 2007.
And he has been involved in several angry exchanges with opposition MSPs, including last week when he lost his cool with Scottish Tory leader Douglas Ross for making a jibe about his “honest John” nickname.
However, in a speech accepting the leadership of the SNP in Glasgow - having stood unopposed for the job - he vowed to adopt a different approach, as he suggested nothing can be achieved by “shouting at people”.

Yes, the SNP is the worst group of politicians we have EVER seen in our lives..
Aye an he disnae ken whit a Burd is either 😂
He would not be on normal exercise if he were a guest of his majesty...
@stephencollins9062
He knows.
That was just a smokescreen for what his predecessor Useless really wanted, which is no criticism of *that* religion..
You've clearly got a short memory and live in a bubble
@@chiefgilray
The projection 😁
Even Labour previously, objectively, was far better at governing Scotland.
You're a member of a delusional cult.
This guy is nothing but a clown 🤡
Big Bad John… talks utter 💩
Yes politics here in Scotland is lying in the GUTTER thanks to Snp
How so...
Eradicate child poverty ?? After 17 years in power, why did they allow child poverty to become a problem. Did they just not notice, or not care? Or is it someone else's fault ? He should be saying that he's willing to accept responsibility for when things go wrong. That would make him stand out from his predecessors.
They've actually been doing this, child poverty has been going DOWN for tg last 17 years, its not an overnight solution
Nothings going to change.
Honest John at his best!
Convince? Then Wtf have they been doing all these decades?
All they have is lies
Oh, the duping smiles.
S N P ? I N ? T H E B I N ??
If he was so interested in eradicating child poverty, perhaps he could start by asking local councils to stop hounding parents for missed Council Tax payments, with threats of Summary
Court Action, Sheriff Officers, and deducting directly at source from wages and benefits. Better still, why is he not abolishing Council Tax, something he promised the Scottish electorate
he'd do, donkeys years ago.
You contradicting yourself... So council tax shouldn't be paid then...
Liar
Need higher taxes to cover money that went AWOL
A good example of what’s to come from Swinney, pure and utter incompetence and waffle.
I've contributed to the demise of the state of politics but I'm the right man to change it!
Child catcher
He can fix it all now
So did jim
It's progress we need not regurgitated waffling
Let's not forget, this is the bloke who was part of a Whatsapp messaging group that deleted everything knowing it would be valuable to the Covid Enquiry.
Examples...
Hes gonna resign ..that will change politics..for the good. Im declaring myself the king of scotland and why not .John the second has done it..
Takes mendacity to a hitherto unknown height. His mentor is undoubtedly proud.
0ld egoistic John , failed upwards again . His wife and kid deserve better.
Need higher taxes to cover the amount we have catastrophically wasted
So when are the UK government raising taxes to pay for the billions they wasted and handed out to their friends... Oh that's right, it's get taken out as debt
nasty celebration bruise on his face .once any politician says LET ME BE CLEAR you know it's pork pies. start by BEHAVING DIFFERENTLY towards the 30.000 homeless scots /brits and yes there are brits living in scotland millions of them
Absolute tosh he talks. Free uni education. There are more people outside of Scotland that n our universities. The paying students get priority over Scots students.
You got numbers?
@@chiefgilray around one third of students in Scotland are foreign.
@@user-vq6km4lm1b 27% (closer to a quarter but let's not spoil the narrative you have) which is pretty normal for universities actually, what is your problem with foreigners studying in our universities? They don't get priority over anyone, unless you have proof
I see he's removed his east European blue and yellow lapel flag. I wish his constituents would do the same from their gardens. Makes a mockery of the many Scots who fought and died
in the Crimean War in the mid-19th century, Of course most SNP have a contorted memory on Scottish military history.
Lol, what the same war where the enemy were the Russians... Again 😂😂😂 yes, seems you have a contorted memory of history
