@AndrewBrophy3 I’m absolutely relaxed about what religious people think. As long as they don’t try and restrict other people’s freedoms. — PolitiTweet.org

@IsobelWaller No. He did not. President Carter said “Jesus would approve of gay marriage… I think Jesus would encourage any love affair if it was honest and sincere and was not damaging to anyone else and I don’t see that gay marriage damages anyone else,” — PolitiTweet.org

@FutureGovan @DisclosureScot Well obviously the @scotgov is not responsible for 20th C convictions. I am claiming personal credit for nothing. But I am glad I introduced my Bill at Westminster. And I am pleased our own Government has quashed the convictions of those who’ve lived with unfair criminal records. — PolitiTweet.org

Indeed. I can’t remember a week like this in Scottish politics - at least not since Souter was running rampant, gays were being routinely described as predators in the press, and Scotland seemed to be regressing to the 50s. Someone has sent me a copy of this as a reminder. https://t.co/J7zYouf5nE — PolitiTweet.org

@HullCityTony That's not really a serious question Tony. But in answer, precedent suggests we'd divide up the assets and share the UK's (huge) debt. — PolitiTweet.org

@JohnRentoul Remind me, when was the last time you were out on the doors or (like Allan here) doing on the ground journalism in Scotland John? As opposed to offering opinion? :) — PolitiTweet.org

@rugbywarrior Yes I remember in the 80s and 90s many of the same experts - and Labour Party MPs - saying Scotland couldn't afford independence as the oil cash flowed and Norway built up the largest sovereign wealth fund in the world. — PolitiTweet.org

President Jimmy Carter, now in hospice care, and nearing the end of his life, was perhaps the most spiritual of modern day presidents. He was devoutly Christian. He put human rights at the centre of American foreign policy during his presidency. And as a Christian he said this. https://t.co/1KSQTiEgMw — PolitiTweet.org

It’s not that hard to get. Countries have a right to self determination. And generations of Westminster leaders have agreed - Scotland is in a ‘voluntary Union’ and we can leave when we want. Sunak & Starmer’s current stance is unsustainable. — PolitiTweet.org

“Drill into those opinion polls.” @alittl points out that while support for the Union still stands at around 50%, the breakdown of unionist support is key to the future. “The young remain overwhelmingly in favour of independence - by more than 70%.” https://t.co/wLxkTl8ueq — PolitiTweet.org

Catching up with @BBCRadio4 ‘Broadcasting House’, and was a bit worried no one was going to mention “cancel culture” to @bbcpaddy today. But I needn’t have feared. Earl Spencer popped up to promote his new podcast and lament well… cancel culture. “It’s so terrifying now.” — PolitiTweet.org

@rayevans05 Yes we had that discussion at the time. I’m afraid it’s legalese. In any event the discussion was academic. The Tories filibustered my Turing Bill. It never reached the statute book in England. — PolitiTweet.org

@DarrenKeenan1 @NBawbag1 Oh dear Darren. She could not be less RC. I thought you might be confused. I recommend googling a wee history of the Reformation in Scotland. Best, JN. — PolitiTweet.org
JOHN NICOLSON M.P. @MrJohnNicolson
@DarrenKeenan1 @NBawbag1 I suspect it’s you who has not been paying attention Darren! There is no legal or other impediment to a Catholic becoming FM (as opposed to PM where there are restrictions.) However neither of the FM front runners are Catholic so don’t quite know what your tweet to me is about. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you so much Alan. That’s most kind of you. — PolitiTweet.org
Alan Kinney @alankinney1970
@MrJohnNicolson Proud to have you as my MP.
JOHN NICOLSON M.P. @MrJohnNicolson
@pamcgoo No so. Extensive polling shows that the vast majority of Scots are strongly in favour of same sex marriage and proud of the progress our country has made. Always a mistake to assume things you don’t care about are things no one else cares about. — PolitiTweet.org

@Favo681 Now we both know that’s not entirely true! :) A few extra pounds…. And a touch of grey at the temples. (A touch? Who is he kidding?!) — PolitiTweet.org

@Crewesmissile @Independent @DailyMailUK @DailyMirror @hellomag Thank you. Well, of course, there were no legal protections. You could be sacked for being gay. — PolitiTweet.org

Some folk have written asking me about the 'coming out' press I posted. Back in the 90s it created quite a stir (I was apparently the first BBC network presenter to say I was gay.)

@MrJohnNicolson You’re an inspiration John. A powerful role model in our community.

@TottenhamJedi Sadly it was filibustered by the Tories (they’d originally promised to support the bill but then sent out a Minister to talk it out.) So it never passed in England. However it was then picked up by the @scotgov and passed at Holyrood. — PolitiTweet.org

An extraordinary 200k people have watched this video since yesterday. Thank you for all the kind comments. It seems the vast majority of us are proud of the way Scotland has changed & want us to continue being seen internationally as a beacon of liberal values & tolerance. 🏴🏳️🌈 — PolitiTweet.org
