Fantastic also to be in Peterhead today seeing @The_SCOTS being awarded the Freedom of #Aberdeenshire - the first in a series of events being held across the Shire this weekend in honour of the Regiment.

Faith In Public Life🧵[DM for an opinion piece] As a minister/theology/religion academic, who teaches ethics/political theology, it is fascinating to see so many people talking about faith in public life + frustrating to see how messy the exchanges are. I have some thoughts: /1

He doesn’t need to. He seems to be setting Labour’s agenda on migration and Brexit quite happily from outside.

Labour spokesman declines to say whether Nigel Farage would be welcome to join the party, saying they are having conversations 'with all sorts of people wanting to support the party'

It’s now becoming clear: Pic 1: Sturgeon faction plotted Yousaf removal because he wanted to talk with Salmond mob. Pic 2: Stephen Flynn groomed to ‘stop Kate Forbes’ and replace caretaker Swinney. Swinney’s sweetener for this stinking SNP stitch-up? A £105,000 pay rise.

Good to get out and about earlier today in #Turriff for the town’s May Day celebrations, and with it, the chance to have a blether with folk at the @theSNP stall and spread the word… #ActiveSNP

When, like me, you've been an unquestioning Unionist for most of your life and then started to have severe doubts in the post-Brexit years, you begin to see things you didn't see before. It's hard to overstate the (negative) subliminal effect of this imagery. THREAD

@RThomsonMP highlights how employers can support employees to volunteer in this afternoon's Westminster Hall debate. PBE estimates net productivity gains of £1.6bn - £2.8bn could be unlocked for the UK economy by expanding workplace volunteering.

🧵My thoughts on the Tories game playing on #Horizon Bill as Legal expert claims UK Government should quash Scots Post Office convictions. Imho this should have been blindingly obvious. 1/5

Good day out today campaigning in Huntly, and a well-earned plate of stovies afterwards at the Mart cafe. Shame about the semi-final result though… #activesnp
