Here’s another important members bill. Let’s hope it succeeds.
Changes are proposed to Scotland’s FOI laws to make it easier to access information and hold public services to account. Do you think the proposals in the Freedom of Information Reform (Scotland) Bill are clearly defined and workable? 📢 Have your say: https://t.co/6PHFfekJ7q

Thank you @GrahamSMSP - Thank you also to @ReformUKScot, who backed the Right to Recovery Bill early on. Throughout this process, the true nature of Scottish politics has been laid bare for anyone with eyes to see and yesterday, it was lit up in neon. Those who voted against
My contribution the debate on the Right to Recovery Bill. Sadly those MSPs ordered to vote against did not develop backbones.

There was a lively debate on immigration today. The Conservatives and Labour have no credibility on the issue.

This amendment to tomorrow’s debate on immigration is not being taken. The Conservatives and Labour also have a lot to answer for here and their conversion to immigration sceptics is fooling no one.

It was great to host the @CTAUK1 event in parliament tonight talking about the vital work their members do. Thanks to my mate @JimFairlieLogie for speaking too.

It will spend far longer than that on it if the bill proceeds. I hope to speak in this debate.
Parliament will spend less than three hours on a Bill that could save thousands of lives. @theSNP @ScottishLabour @scottishgreens @LibDems @ReformUKScot Scotland remains the drug death capital of Europe. Families are still burying their children while politicians argue over

Extraordinary double standards at play
NEW: SNP minister's 'rank hypocrisy' as he delights in his woodburning stove just days after voting against them!

The FM says his scheme would not be mandatory. You can bet it would become that. It's a slippery slope.
Reform's @GrahamSMSP says the Scottish Government had its own plans for a "digital identity service". "Now that the First Minister is apparently against such intrusion into our lives, can we assume these plans will not reappear?" #FMQs

The standards procedures and public appointments committee has today recommended that dual mandates are banned. Parliament will vote on this soon in what I hope will be a victory for my common sense amendments to the Elections Bill.
