           A major contributor to the cultural life of Stirling . Sadly missed . 
           Sadly Dr Elspeth King died suddenly yesterday morning. Former Curator of The People's Palace & Diretor of the Smith Art Gallery in Stirling & an exeptionally knowledgable woman, Elspeth made a signifiant contribution to Scotland's cultural heritage. She will be much missed.

             That’s all 3 councillors in Stirling East are now SNP . Quite an achievement in a ward that was once a Labour stronghold hold . It also means that working with the Green and the Independent councillor we hope to form a SNP administration in Stirling .

             Even with limited powers, we’ve made real progress in Scotland - the only part of the UK where child poverty is falling. But Westminster’s failed Thatcherite policies are leaving too many Scots struggling. Let’s build a fairer society with independence. #ScotlandDemandsBetter

             You just cant stand anything that even hints that Scotland could have an international awareness . You want Scotland never to have a voice , always to express itself through a filter . Even your identity is hidden behind a filter . 
           John Swinney is flying to Africa whilst in the same breath lecturing us all about climate change. I wonder how much more of our money he's going to give away this time?

             If you are a #ScottishTorry you must be watching the BBC this morning in tears. The Conservatives are now trying to move further to the right than Reform. You must wish that the conservatives in Scotland could distance themselves from this shambles of a Party. #NeverTrustATory

             Watching the “guests” on #BBCLauraK the Tory party are a complete busted flush . They are now in the gutter trying to out farage ,farage. If you are a decent minded Conservative you must be watching in despair .

             Lot of unhappy Unionists of both red and blue persuasion on social media tonight. bus production supported , whisky industry receiving clear and focussed government support and Westminster crumbling by the day. Conclusively proof #NeverTrustATory

             I promised I would protect jobs and livelihoods and that is what I have done. 👇 
           A package has been announced to support the retention of jobs at Alexander Dennis in Scotland. On a visit to @ADLbus in Larbert, Falkirk, First Minister @JohnSwinney confirmed around £4 million towards a company run furlough scheme. ➡️  https://t.co/TYGdQfPJHc

             It ia concern, presumably if the UK government continues to be non functioning , we can all go our own way in an amicable fashion. You don’t have to worry, too much, an independent England will manage without Scottish oil, renewables, whisky and food exports and subsidising us .

             You concern to see more of your family lasted nano seconds so that’s probably what clinch your interest in science 😂 what it does prove is , whatever the colour you should #NeverTrustATory
          
           What an exciting moment to head into @SciTechgovuk for the first time to work with my friend, the brilliant @leicesterliz. Honoured to be appointed as Minister of State in @scitechgovuk. I look forward to getting to work on making the UK a global leader in science and tech.

             Poor @IanMurrayMP It must be hard to take when you're so successful at climbing the greasy pole only to fall back down on your bahookie.

             Bad news for you is that the local SNP in Stirling have three return lemonade bottles , two 50 year old 10 shillings postal orders and a £2 lottery ticket 😎. Way more than enough to defeat your campaign to be the MSP for Stirling 😂😂😂 . #NeverTrustTheToriesAgain

             This man is a complete economic idiot. He attacks the Scottish Government for a £500 per individual deficit , but omits to state that the UK deficit is £2000 per UK citizen . But surprise surprise #NeverTrustaTory
          
           Scotland's notional deficit is £26.5bn. To show how massive that is: -You could buy every household in Scotland a nearly-new Vauxhall Corsa with £500 change -It's equal to the total Scottish spend on health & social care But the SNP claim we would be richer with independence?
