1624697785554505728 | SNP's @MrJohnNicolson says "it's all a bit banana republic" and if Keir Starmer becomes PM, he should say that "anybody who has given a large donation... should not get a public service role" in the wake of the DCMS report into BBC Chair Richard Sharp #Ridge | 36 |
1624713613582782466 | Sharp relied on references to advice he received from Simon Case. Yet the committee did not interview Simon Case. Do we know why @MrJohnNicolson I can see that the primary duty is on Sharp, the applicant, who has displayed woeful judgement. Still https://t.co/Oj0Ux9M66E | 18 |

1626980168685305856 | "That places particular challenges for the SNP, that the party has never had to face before." There is no longer a working mechanism for Scotland to leave the UK, says John Nicolson. @MrJohnNicolson | @AyeshaHazarika https://t.co/qXQ4nbo7nF | 11 |

1624186596462325761 | Riot in #Knowsley tonight by far right. @SkyNews leads on the story at 11pm #BBCNewsChannel meanwhile is covering USA, Turkey and Syria, because the UK rolling news channel has basically been shut down by @deborahturness @MrJohnNicolson @CommonsDCMS https://t.co/axMtdODfxX | 8 |

1625511507835473922 | @joannaccherry @TonjeGjevjon @HotchkissRhona @LesbianLabour @satiricole @GussieGrips @ALLIANCELGB An actual trans 16 year old is brutally stabbed to death only days ago and you are playing games pretending to be a victim. How disgusting. @theSNP @MrJohnNicolson @thebarcouncil @NicolaSturgeon | 64 |
1625842856937095170 | @MrJohnNicolson Just watched Nicola’s speech. Once again she proves what a dignified, reflective, able and decent person she is. Everything the Tories are not. | 60 |

1625826835672989697 | @MrJohnNicolson Anything Kerr says is just sour grapes. The TERFS are out in force today also. Hugging their wrath to keep themselves warm. It was SNP under Nicola which made me join. Whoever replaces has a very tough act to follow. | 42 |
1625827996123729920 | @MrJohnNicolson Nicola hopes that politics can be conducted in a different way. Kerr didn’t get the memo. He knows no other way. | 41 |
1625939748639412237 | I thought Douglas Ross showed his typical 🇬🇧 class on @Channel4News ……. in respect of @NicolaSturgeon … giant in #scottishpolitics @theSNP @MrJohnNicolson …spot on re Ross… one of the least popular politicians in Scotland (although he has bitter competition). | 38 |
1624410746414063636 | On tomorrow's @ridgeonsunday we'll talk to @andrewmitchMP from the Gvt and Labour's @lisanandy Plus we'll speak to @mrjohnnicolson about BBC Chairman Richard Sharp and @patsyestevenson - who was pinned down at the Sarah Everard protest - about violence against women #Ridge | 38 |
