@laff1nboy Aye, Alice in Wonderland stuff, though I have not given it much credence have to say. I’d hope it does not grow much legs as it is so patently absurd an exercise (and the SNP Group will oppose at every turn), but few things surprise me with this shower.
Some random snaps (not taken by me) out and about earlier around Crianlarich, Tyndrum and Killin. I’m biased but I’m firmly of the view Stirling constituency is the most beautiful in Scotland 🏔 🌲 🏰 ⛰ #VisitStirling #VisitScotland
An eye-opening visit with the team at @scotgoldresltd, exploring their gold mining operations in Tyndrum, Stirling. A fantastic asset to the local economy and community.
Communities across Stirling, Scotland and the rest of these islands cannot wait.
An economic catastrophe is unfolding on the UK Government’s watch - the time to act is now.

A particularly poignant independence day in Ukraine. Best wishes to @MFA_Ukraine, and solidarity from Scotland 🇺🇦 🤝 🏴
@glassqueen99 Fantastic news! I’m delighted to hear this, all credit to you 👏
A fascinating visit to @QuickBlock_LTD, a fast growing, innovative company based in Stirling, who are creating the literal building blocks for many solutions out of recycled plastics ♻️
@GrumpleKiltSkin Not at all, glad to have been of help! Here’s hoping common sense prevails
Thanks for the time @FSBHisashiK, I’m deeply worried for business across Stirling and elsewhere and keen to put ideas into the system to help business through this. Glad of the support. @GoForthStirling @Forthvalleych
RT @FSBHisashiK: Excellent to have a catch-up with @AlynSmith to discuss the cost of doing business crisis and how we can help small businesses in Stirling. We discussed what can be done to protect local firms from incr…
💪 Always good to catchup with @GerryMcCormac about the fantastic work carried out by @StirUni and @stirlingunion staff.
👋 Stirling’s ready to welcome students back to our city and communities.
@BryanDeakinSNP Aw shame, easy to miss ourselves in a crowd of 5,000 though, hope you enjoyed the day.
@CommunityDan @StirlingGames Likewise! And brilliant weather co-ordination, this morning rather more refreshing and hydrated for a Monday morning, the farmers will be pleased!
@m13att @StirlingGames Great craic, all credit to you, let’s get a coffee soon to see what I can do to kick on preparations for next year, I’ll drop you a line.
Fantastic day with @StirlingGames, great crowd, lots to see and a great atmosphere in the sun. There’s always something going on in Stirling 😊
Fantastic to be at @StirlingGames, off to a flying start, what a spectacular setting with @TheWallaceMon looking majestic too #visitStirling #visitScotland
(PS the weather is always like this ☀️)
@LorenaShaw @EvelynTweedSNP I’m not familiar with any scheme in Manchester but there’s already significant subsidy targeted for young and old folk on buses across Scotland. I’ll have a look see if there’s anything to emulate there, thanks for flagging.
@s_brett1 @KSBScotland Great to see you! I’m so pleased to finally be able to get over the doors and do visits in person!
Great to see you guys, delighted to hear so much internationally important good stuff being led from Stirling 👍🏻
RT @Barry_Fisher01: Thanks to @AlynSmith for dropping into our new @KSBScotland Hub, great to talk about our positive ambitions on #climateaction reducing #litter and waste and improving #places
Solidarity with @BBCJamesCook, seems a good morning to repost this from a few weeks ago: https://www.thenational.scot/politics/20242129.alyn-smith-yes-movement-must-not-play-nasty-nat-caricature/
And in tomorrow’s @ScotNational I take stock of events in Afghanistan a year on. The UK (and others) comprehensively betrayed many Afghans who trusted they would be kept safe.
RT @StewartMcDonald: Last summer the world looked on in horror at the west's chaotic retreat from Afghanistan as the Taliban returned to power. Here's a piece @AlynSmith and I wrote at the time.
