WOW! @SteveReedMP has been slapped down by the UK Statistics Authority for falsely claiming on multiple occasions that Scotland's water is dirtier than England's. Will he apologise for misleading the House? https://t.co/xuDqEcR97k

My question to the Foreign Secretary in Parliament today - is she finally ready to admit that Brexit has been an all out disaster for Scotland and the rest of the UK? @YvetteCooperMP @StephenGethins @theSNP

Progress this week on Scotland’s Right to Decide. By agreeing the rules, as our neighbours do, we can focus on substance rather than process -

🔥Thanks to Stephen Gethins for the support. “Mr Gethins told The Courier: “Local firefighters in Dundee and the rest of the community have shown a level of humanitarianism and thought for those affected by war. Their efforts deserve to be commended.” 🔥🚒👇

So it looks like @theSNP majority in next year’s Scottish Parliament elections will mean an Independence Referendum. Good to see the Prime Minister turning up just in time to hear the Secretary of State confirming that.

This remains as true today as it did 7 years ago. Even more so after Russia’s full scale invasion of Ukraine. Brexit remains a strategic win for Putin and staying outside the EU leaves the UK more vulnerable & isolated than ever.

By far the biggest impact UK could have on Russia would be to reverse Brexit, because (whether or not they influenced the vote) it is a massive geo-political win for Russia to hive of UK from EU.

Farage is still repeating Putin's key argument that the eastward expansion of NATO and the EU caused the war. Either you believe the countries of eastern Europe are sovereign and free to choose their own destiny or you don't. Farage thinks Putin should have a veto on their future

Young people with British passports have fewer rights than those of any other Western European state - & fewer rights than the generations who went before them enjoyed. For what?

The UK is heading down a dangerous & isolated path in flirting with leaving the European Convention on Human Rights. There is a space for the SNP to seize the ground of multilateralism and respect for the rules based system -
