A pleasure to meet with @PRB_Raimond and colleagues from the Estonian Parliament’s Defence Committee 🇪🇪 important in these troubled times to maintain dialogue on all levels.
❌ The treatment of BBC journalist Ed Lawrence by the Chinese authorities has been shameful.
🇨🇳 There must be diplomatic consequences for the Chinese Government - and the rights of the people of China to protest must be respected.
🐺 I’m extremely proud to represent Stirling, champion local causes and fight for the interests of everyone who calls Stirling home.

🛑 The last thing hard-up Stirling households need are more benefit sanctions during a cost of living crisis

Fantastic night in Rob Roy MacGregor’s Barn at Kinlochard with @TeamStirlingSNP @TrossachsSNP’s 3 Saint Andrew’s Night Dinner for Ukraine 🇺🇦 Greece 🇬🇷 and Scotland 🏴. Great company and an important time to remember Saint Andrew unites people.
Rainswept and interesting with William from Ian McLeod Distillers on site at Bandeath to see their proposals for a bonded whisky warehouse for @Glengoyne @TamdhuWhisky @RosebankWhisky. Stirling’s great location the obvious place for all investment! 🥃
Good to be able to speak with university staff on the picket line as nation-wide strike action takes place today. While nobody wants to see industrial action, as vice-chair of the APPG on universities, I want to see a solution that works for everybody.
RT @AlynSmith: Two years ago tonight, speaking to the Scotland for Europe @euromovescot rally at Holyrood before heading through to the @GlasgowlovesEu rally having already spoken to @Stirling4Europe. That’s the past, independence in Europe is the future 🏴🇪🇺
My Maiden speech from 2019, and my question today to the Secretary of State for Scotland.
Today's Supreme Court ruling answers a legal question, but raises a far deeper one on the nature of this Union, and Scotland's democracy.
🌍 Proud with @StewartMcDonald and @ChrisLawSNP to launch @theSNP Westminster Paper on Protection of Civilians in Conflict. An important contribution to an issue that needs to be far higher up the world’s agenda: https://alynsmith.scot/2022/11/22/new-report-independent-scotland-force-for-good-on-world-stage/
RT @airwars: “This is a positive paper,” says @AlynSmith, “making these points here isn’t just about an independent Scotland but it’s about what we can all do to get the world to a better place than where we are now. The protection of civilians needs to be higher up the agenda.”
RT @StewartMcDonald: 🌎Today @ChrisLawSNP, @AlynSmith & I have published a new policy paper on the protection of civilians in conflict. UN Security Council Resolution 1265 was adopted more than 20 years ago, but the failure to protect civilians in conflict is stark. The world needs a fresh approach.
Proud to back #LambForStAndrewsDay, a campaign from @unitedauctions and industry leaders to support local food producers.
Stirling is home to some of the finest farming land in Scotland - very happy to encourage folks to #buylocal

A pleasure to meet @Catalonia_UK’s new UK and Ireland Representative Francesc Claret, thanks for a good discussion on EU links, energy and academic co-operation and more!
RT @AlynSmith: 🧹 Tories trying to fix a mess caused by Tories. Only the UK is grappling with a self-inflicted Brexit, and the £30 billion fallout from the last bungled budget.
🇪🇺 Scotland can choose a different path; independence in Europe.
