A robust and largely constructive discussion with @IanMurrayMP and @AndrewBowie_MP on the cost of living crisis on @BBCScotlandNews, (thanks also to the BBC team for the bottle of water for my hayfever coughing fit! 😷)
RT @AmbWilczek: Thank you, @AlynSmith and @Dr_PhilippaW, for meeting me at @PolishEmbassyUK. It was a pleasure to speak to you about matters that are important to Poland and Scotland.
A pleasure to meet Poland’s UK Ambassador @AmbWilczek @PolishEmbassyUK with @Dr_PhilippaW talking EU, UK-EU relations, Polish-Scottish relations and more 🇵🇱 🏴
See this annoys me (the front pages, not the excellent @AdamBienkov). People were entitled to believe what politicians told them and entitled to vote accordingly, but they were bluffed or outright lied to, and there have been zero consequences for those who bluffed or lied.
RT @AdamBienkov: You know I'm starting to think we might not have been told the truth.
Lovely to see Elifa Gomes at her new business, Cafe Twilight in Fallin, with new @TeamStirlingSNP Councillor @HamblySnp. A great (and tasty!) addition to the village 😋 🍰 ☕️ 🫖
🗳️ @GoForthStirling, our local Business Improvement District, is set for renewal over the coming months.
✅ I urge Stirling members to vote ‘Yes’, and help unleash the full potential of our city centre.
I don’t need convinced 😉
Delighted for everyone at @StirUni @stirlingunion for the REF results, a great performance and world class research making a real difference locally and globally 👍🏻 🌍
RT @NHSForthValley: Today is #NursesDay
To all our amazing nurses, thank you 💙 #teamNHSFV
If you know a nurse who has made a difference to your life or to the life of someone you know please tell us – we’d love to hear your stories and memories.
Unlike the UK’s hapless government, the EU has thought it through and isn’t bluffing. The UK government signed a solemn agreement, fought an election on it and needs to respect it.
RT @AllieHBNews: Thursday’s FINANCIAL Times: “Brussels threatens retaliation if Northern Ireland protocol ditched” #TomorrowsPapersToday
RT @StevenBonnarSNP: Great discussion all round. Interesting afternoon meeting with the Finnish delegation and a genuine warmth for Scotland appreciated for sure 🏴🇫🇮
Good craic briefing a delegation of Finnish journalists with @StevenBonnarSNP and @DougChapmanSNP on Scotland, independence, NATO, EU membership and more. Great chat with like minded friends 🏴 🇫🇮 🇪🇺
Privileged to chair a cross party meet with exiled Russian MP @iponomarev and discuss Ukraine and Russian internal dynamics. A fascinating range of insights and much to work on 🇺🇦 🇷🇺

Significant moves in Wales, as well as significant election results in Northern Ireland and Scotland.
RT @Plaid_Cymru: 👥96 Senedd Members.
🗳️Proportional voting.
🟰 Gender quotas.
Plaid Cymru leader @Adamprice and @PrifWeinidog have today set out a way forward for reforming the Senedd by 2026.
We want to make it stronger, fairer and more equal to better deliver for the people of Wales. 🏴
/10 The EU aims to achieve a ‘level playing field’ by prioritising social rights for workers & people in general.
By joining a bloc that safeguards fundamental rights, an independent Scotland would ensure the wellbeing of workers both at home and across Europe.
/9 Scotland will take a different approach to the UK when it comes to helping the world’s poorest and most vulnerable.
Scotland would benefit from working with European partners in dealing with e.g. climate change, post-COVID recovery, and poverty.
/8 For centuries, Scotland has punched above its weight in producing world-class research and innovation.
As part of the EU - with funding programmes such as Horizon - Scotland can do even more to bolster European research and solve collective issues.
/7 Renewables are needed to tackle the global climate crisis as well as help Europe move from dependency on Russian oil and gas.
Scottish renewables can help Europe pivot away from Kremlin-controlled energy sources, and bolster the EU’s climate and geo-strategic security.
