@Stirlingcouk @grahambsi Disgusting, I agree, his toxic legacy will live after him. Another reason why the Westminster system is corrupted, because too many insiders think they’ll at some point benefit from it. And why I think Scotland will do better independent in Europe.
RT @ScotGovFM: On Srebrenica Memorial Day, First Minister @NicolaSturgeon has paid tribute to the victims and all those affected by the Genocide.
Very productive meeting with Ireland’s Foreign Minister @simoncoveney with our @theSNP Westminster NI Spokesperson @RThomsonMP at Westminster. We stand four square behind peace in Northern Ireland and international law 🇮🇪🇪🇺🏴
@nondeplumeuk @ScotNational No indeed, but a handy nailing of a potential silly scare story before it arises. Independence will give us EU rights within a far bigger network than the UK’s.
Good scoop by @ScotNational. Obviously, things to be negotiated but we’ll have rights with all other EU states, and a friendly relationship with UK. “UK ‘won’t abandon’ Scots abroad in crisis after vote for independence, say Foreign Office staff” https://www.thenational.scot/news/20267697.uk-wont-abandon-scots-abroad-crisis-vote-independence-say-foreign-office-staff/
Great #activeSNP @TeamStirlingSNP response in Hillpark to our @theSNP cost of living petition. Unanimous disgust at the chaos of Westminster distracting from action to help households. Scotland can do better with independence in Europe 🏴🇪🇺
Brilliant to see! @GoForthStirling really are a powerhouse in our city, and do great work engaging with businesses, residents and visitors.
More power to your elbow!
RT @GoForthStirling: We're over the moon to announce that city-centre businesses have voted in favour of a second term for Go Forth Stirling BID, with a 79% majority of ‘YES’ votes received!

The reality of this incompetent UK Government continues to affect my constituents in Stirling. DVLA and passport delays are costing people their holidays and threatening livelihoods. It's unacceptable, has dragged on long enough and urgently needs to be addressed.
RT @Mij_Europe: There isn't one person I've spoken to - in Bxl or any EU capital - that is naive or stupid enough to think this
RT @brignewspaper: NEWS/POLITICS: Boris Johnson's resignation will be "welcome news" to the vast majority of Stirling constituents, says Stirling MP Alyn Smith.

As a reminder to this, we all know he hasn’t *actually resigned* yet, yes?
RT @AlynSmith: No danger should anyone sensible accept Mr Johnson staying on until a successor found. There’s no doubt he would use the position for ill, he has to go.

Lovely to show visiting Stirling constituents Nicola and her son Jasper around Westminster, they certainly picked a day and a half to visit!
@TradingJeremy Indeed so, I’ve been a shoulder to cry on for a few this week.
Possibly an unpopular tweet, but in amongst today’s drama spare a thought for the staffers and families who have to put up with a lot at the best of times, and are having to deal with a lot of upset not of their making.
A pleasure to meet Portugal’s 🇵🇹 new UK Ambassador Brito, a very rich discussion on our close links with his wonderful country, the EU 🇪🇺 and politics in the UK.
RT @DavidLinden: We have truly come full circle when @ScotTories MPs are now demanding a vote be re-run when circumstances change.
There is indeed joy in heaven over one sinner who repenteth!😃
