I'm very proud that tonight the SNP proposed an amendment on our consistent and principled calls for a ceasefire in Gaza. Some in Labour try to call this 'playing politics' but thats simply them trying to justify not supporting a ceasefire to themselves
Labour can call it “playing politics” all they like, but that’s generally the response of a party that’s been outplayed - the SNP gets huge attention for its calls for a ceasefire as a point of principle, with the bonus of leaving Labour the focus of headlines about disarray

: "I was sickened and appalled by the PM's words. And instead of recognising what he said was wrong and apologise, he's doubled down.
What he is actually doing is saying 50% of Scotland are extremists - linked with the worse elements of China, Russia, etc."

❌ The job of a Prime Minister is to protect our liberties and democracy - not attack half the Scottish population by comparing them to war criminals like Vladimir Putin.
🏴 While Westminster only offers pathetic insults, we’re offering the people of Scotland a better future.

: "On Monday the Prime Minister outlined what he considers to be extremist threats to our society.
In doing so, he actively compared North Korea, Iran and Russia with those people in Scotland who believe in independence."

sends a message to sub-postmasters affected by the Horizon IT scandal
Emergency legislation has been introduced by the Scottish Government which will see victims automatically exonerated if passed
Hmm, this redaction of an extremely ill-judged and anti-Scottish remark to a controversial "think-tank" from a hopelessly right wing Tory PM does rather beg the question... What other extremely dodgy, anti-Scottish guff do Tories tell these people in private? Time for some FOIs?
🎥Some short clips from my visit to the Central Dalkeith & Woodburn Pantry on Friday, I got to see first hand the amazing job that all of the volunteers do.

I think the very fact that those close to politics &/or political commentary don't know the difference between Provost's, Mayor's & Council leaders, or their roles & responsibilities, tells it's own story. Bonkers proposal, genuinely surprised anyone is taking it seriously.
There is no defence for the two child cap and rape clause, the fact the Labour are defending it should chill us all to the bone.
Don’t vote Labour!

In a normal country when suddenly the democratic wishes of at least 50% of the people are grouped together with extremists by the PM, it would be at the top of every news bulletin. It was totally ignored by the North British BBC’s Reporting Scotland. Get us out of here, please.

A reminder that our civic nationalism embraces multicultural Scotland. Meanwhile, the Tories are the Party that gave us Windrush, the Hostile Environment, Go Home Vans, Lee Anderson, Frank Hester, Rwanda flights, Liz Truss, Suella Braverman & Boris.
We're not the dangerous ones.

have moved so far from their traditional values they are are unrecognisable!
NOT about ‘handouts’ - it’s vital Governments INVEST in children to give them a decent start in life and avoid having to deal with health & social problems later in life.
Get rid of
