Swinney, the best person we have. H,ha,ha,ha. Oh, I've just fell off the chair laughing.
“Best person we have “….that’s the problem right there .
My daughter could run the SNP better than that TOOL Sweeney and she is only 7 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Let's hope she gets the chance.
Best they have just about sums up the total ineptitude in the SNP
Let the public decide instead of another Sturgeon muppet.
It is a fixed-term parliament read the Scotland Act, educate yourself and stop listening to the BBC and Unionist so-called politicians did Wales let the people decide when the picked a new leader
should have picked kate forbes in the first place last year
Forbes is hated by half the country, wouldn't work
Sums up the quality within the SNP.
If tired old John Swinney is the best they can do then they are screwed
Sums it down.
If Swinney is the best they have the SNP have no hope and by extension Scotland if we have to rely on Swinney and Flynn.
Swiney ? Sturgeons nodding dog. 🤔
Nope, not Swinney. We need Kate Forbes to give us a common sense moral backbone again. Rid this country of stupid unworkable laws.
has she said what she will do about Humza's gag on the Scottish people - will she repeal his illiberal laws that have made us Scots the least free people in the UK let alone Europe?
I agree get Kate in to take control
That's because none of Humza's frontbenchers are interested. Mr redact, John Swinney is a cry of desperation.
Swinney is too mired in the Sturgeon debacle vote Swinney get more of the same old school. Time for a c lear out,plus did Swinney not recently talk of standing down so what's changed
Forbes is hated by half the country, wouldn't work
Should be an election , neither England or Scotland has had FM/PM elected by the people's mandate in a while rather both countries have had leaders "crowned" over the last two or three premiers , a situation that doesn't exactly scream democracy
Why did swinney,not go for it the last time,when sturgeon step down,another one from her nest
Swinney was the leader once before, SNP voters should remember that before they give the buffoon another go. 😂😂😂
He is certainly not a buffoon but would not excite the Scottish electorate, Kate Forbes however would.
"Progressive Tax System' ... its certainly different!
His opening statement left him with zero credibility…
Elmer Fudd is really pitching john swindle. Another joker that has been sacked more times than a king edward.
A fanny calling anyone a fudd
@@johnbhoy2489 pin drop
John swinney is the best they have?
That's a terrifying thought.
Never seen a more incompetent and out of touch politician, than John swinney.
Really never?
Much better than Truss, BoJo or Sunak though
If he was the best they had, why did we get the terrorist funder 🤔🤔
@@eckie4679 thats like comparing shits
@@eckie4679who have what exactly to do with SCOTTISH politics? 🤔
Swinney? surely a joke?
Just goes to show how little talent there is in Scotland. Swinney is not the answer ... just the lowest common denominator.
So true
How patronising! Best educated country in Europe, with the best universities, free for all our young Scots 👍Why should we not manage our own finances rather than a neighbour managing them for us !
Stephen Flynn obviously doesn't want to lose a very well paid job by telling the truth about Humza John Sweeny and Nicola Sturgeon Give the Scottish people the right to vote for the next first minister
Yeah look at NHS schools,and drugs
Yes it is a lot better than the other home nations and PS drugs are not devolved to Scotland
@@dougcop7253 Drug addiction is a health issue which is devolved. Shame the SNP shut down all the rehabs.
Drugs are a reserved power of Westminster
If Swinney is the best the SNP has, the rest of them are despicable. And Freeport Forbes needs to crawl back into her burrow.
The SNP cult is failing, and it's wonderful to see. Let's hope we see some positive change in Scotland after 17 yrs of chaos and managed decline!
Sorry, but Swinney oversaw all of the previous ruinous SNP seventeen years, and is equally as culpable as all other supporters.
Scotland has seen the light and want a better future, without the obsessive, divisive, independence fiasco!
Tory c
@@Harrier_DuBois never voted Tory in my life, Scottish born and bred. Born a citizen of the two greatest countries in the world, and don't like SNP trying to bully me out of that.
The Scottish people are tired of paying the price for the obsessive wrong belief of the SNP that independence will make things better for Scotland.
They won't. It'll make it infinitely worse in every aspect. The SNP hierarchy know that, and have cleverly manoeuvred themselves out of the equation over the last few years, rather than face the music. Think about that.
Flynn another clown 🤡
Its time for a Scottish Election. Clearly things have changed dramatically from what people may have voted for at the last round.
The best they have!!! Well that pretty much speaks volumes, doesn’t it. The devolved administration who have carried out more 3 point turns than a driving test centre.
Stephen Flynn has to "own" his advice to Humza Yousaf to sack the Greens, he got it wrong. The SNP have to appeal to the Scottish electorate not just to the "comfortable slipper" old guard in the Scottish National Party. Kate Forbes is the only person that can re-invigorate the party and give Scottish politics the direction it needs.
Integrity! 😂 Hamza Useless?
Scotland needs an election. Why has it been tough for Flynn, he is in Westminster. Anyone who thinks thst Yusef did a good job has not been living on Scotland.
Correct
Shows how bad SNP are if the failed John Swinney is the best they have 😅 he’s serious, seriously bad
'best person we have' sounds like a reluctant admission, the remainder of the SNP cabal will be delighted.
no getting a new leader of the SNP is like putting a plaster on a open wound, what we need is a new party running Scotland! The SNP are done . Let’s have a Scottish general election.!
Read the Scotland Act and educate yourself by the way DID WALES have a general election so they could have a new leader
Absolutely f*cking ridiculous.
Swivel swinney the snake
Crikey, here we go. More name calling and less critical analysis
If we increase the number of people who vote for the SNP, we will return more MEPs.
My god, this man has cracked it.
#StillYes #StillScottish #StillSNP
Not for me, thanks.
#StillThickAsMince
Not a cult though...
This is the SNP's last chance to get it right, before the next election.
Who they choose will set the tone, and ultimately will decide whether they march forward championing the Scottish people: or simply sink into the centralist, low achieving, gender beguiled Sturgeon mediocrity that we have sadly become used to.
He looks like every other scot politician. Do they make these people in a factory.
Let them explain the increasing surveillance, the shrinking of our foodstuffs but increase the price and the mass immigration policy that we the public didnt want or ask for.
Just call an election and let the people decide. Times up for the SNP and there woke mantra 🏴
One rule for me, one rule for thee on getting another new leader 🤣
Not John Sweeny he has been first minister and failed He is also pals with Nicola Sturgeon not a good look This guy is talking rubbish he is obviously a friend of John and Nicola We need fresh eyes in Holyrood John Sweeney hasnt got fresh eyes he see things the same as Nicola Bring on Kate 🎉
Swinney is a good cure for insomnia!.
No! NO!
This is wonderful news for Scottish Independence. Remember William Wallace was a reluctant leader. Onwards to Freedom!🏴
Kate Forbes was the only choice and snp fucked it
If in doubt play safe and appeal to (buy off) your hardcore supporters.
Poor uncle fester has lost a lot of weight !!!
Another 'proven winner'?
Muppet show .......Oh Dear, not exactly new blood is it.... same old same old same old the same old record playing again.... we are all tired of this SNP same old story in Scotland...
Green jobs ?
Really the best person to take over what a shower of bellends
Another Pratt
We want a Contest, not a Coronation.
Joanna Cherry is absolutely correct in her tweet.
NOT Swine-y; he's tired, had his chance and has too many personal distractions.
And certainly not this clown here.
Wow swinney a failed politician just call for an election
Hey uncle fester is still talking shyte !!
Oh dear……
I know....the Clueless SNP.
@@pinkpyjamas-ey6rw look at the state of the UK 14 years what a mess
Sorry no Scotland, uk and me need a snp. That unloved and election please lord.

Humza was better than John but Stephen managed to get him and the Greens out.
Not as clever as he thinks.
On 27 August 1991, as the dissolution of the Soviet Union was underway, the Moldavian SSR declared independence and took the name Moldova. However, the strip of Moldovan territory on the east bank of the Dniester has been under the de facto control of the breakaway government of Transnistria since 1990. it's the creation of moldove is back, the end of human origins in moldove in 2025 on future?
Cool story bro.
KATE FORBES for First Minister of Scotland
INDEPENDENCE for SCOTLAND
Also...is that a Hugo Boss suit he has on?
Take a close look......Schutzstaffel in the making?
Surely there are rats and mice in Scotland?
Serious liar
😂😂😂 Stephen Flynn is John Swinneys lover!
