Very much looking forward to being part of what should be a really significant event with @YesScotLondon. I'm adamant that an independent Scotland will be good for England and boost progressive English politics. Much to discuss!
RT @YesScotLondon: Our future cannot just be decided by Liz Truss’s Tories.
#ItsTime to talk about #IndyRef2 and how it benefits the rest of the UK.
Join us on November 7th and be part of the conversation.…
RT @EvelynTweedSNP: 🗣 A reminder that @AlynSmith and I are holding a local drop-in advice event, pulling together a number of organisations to provide free guidance on the cost of living crisis.
➡️ Come along if you can. Looking forward to seeing you.
Some dead pan gallic chickens coming home to roost in this one. Solidarity with the global A-Team that is the EU looks better and better by the day than being run by Little Britain.

RT @therealfoodcafe: @AlynSmith Thanks so much for your time and commitment coming all the way up to Tyndrum to take part in the litterpick, meet staff & volunteers and discuss challenges.
We really appreciate you taking time time to listen and get involved.
Credit where its due! I'm impressed + most grateful.
Back in Stirling after a great time with Sarah at @therealfoodcafe and a load of folks in and around Tyndrum litterpicking. Struck as ever driving through Crianlarich, Lochearnhead, Balquhidder, Callander and Doune what a beautiful bit of the world we have here 😊🌲⛰ 🐿 🦌
RT @CharlesMichel: When a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council starts an unprovoked and unjustifiable war, a war condemned by the UN General Assembly, its suspension from the Security Council should be automatic.
RT @ScottishTUC: 💬What the Chancellor announced today is a full-frontal assault on working people in Scotland.
🗣️Some blatant truths from @ChrisStephens to the UK Government👇
🚧 We'll all be left paying for the bailout of the energy companies, as the Tories still refuse an expansive windfall tax on obscene profits.

👎 What a total let-down.
❎ The UK Chancellor's 'financial statement' today handed billions to high earners and big corporations through tax cuts, whilst leaving small-to-medium sized businesses and households across Stirling out in the cold.
We called for an emergency budget because people and businesses are facing a cost of living crisis and need action. This budget will make things worse. This hapless UK government has delivered for the super-rich at the expense of everyone else.
RT @NEF: Make no mistake, today’s announcement was not for most of us, but the very wealthiest in society. At its heart was a massive transfer of income to the wealthy.
@Miatsf gives her take…
🗣@EvelynTweedSNP and I are organising a local drop-in advice event, pulling together community and public organisations to provide free and expert guidance on the cost of living crisis.
➡️ Please share for awareness, and come along if you can!
This week’s @ScotNational column, on how I suspect Mrs Truss will struggle to bluff and bluster her way out of the problems she has created for herself, and how Scotland can do better independent in Europe 🏴🇪🇺 https://www.thenational.scot/politics/22328969.alyn-smith-liz-truss-blown-gaff-global-britain-fantasy/?ref=twtrec
@StewartProdger @ResearchFiona Apologies delay getting back, sorry to hear of your troubles I have psoriatic arthritis myself so can relate. I’ve found the NHS, the resources you cite & @VersusArthritis support to be great (just keep going back till they get the right mixture of meds for you). Good luck!
Because there never was one. If Mrs Truss continues to stop the lies of her predecessor and his acolytes (including her until recently) and admit brexit has been an unmitigated disaster in every sense, she might start finding actual solutions. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/sep/20/no-us-trade-deal-on-the-horizon-admits-truss-as-she-flies-in-for-biden-meeting?CMP=share_btn_tw
I’m concerned as term starts that student budgets (and everyone else’s) are going to be under real pressure. Grateful to @stirlingunion for a briefing and lots of points to take on. @brignewspaper https://brignews.com/2022/09/14/sabbs-voice-concern-over-cost-of-living-crisis/
RT @NHSForthValley: Vaccination appointments for the Covid-19 booster and Flu vaccines will go ahead as planned on Monday 19th September 2022.
At Stirling Council adding my name to the Book of Condolence for the late Queen, having attended the joint session of both Houses at Westminster earlier this week for the new King.
RT @NicolaSturgeon: The death of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth is a profoundly sad moment for the UK, the Commonwealth and the world.
Her life was one of extraordinary dedication and service.
On behalf of the people of Scotland, I convey my deepest condolences to The King and the Royal Family.
RT @NicolaSturgeon: All of us are feeling profoundly concerned at reports of Her Majesty’s health.
My thoughts and wishes are with the Queen and all of the Royal Family at this time.
The new @stiruni semester is upon us, and Stirling is very glad to greet new and returning students to our city and neighbourhoods. You're very welcome to Stirling, the Forth Valley and Scotland.
Be sure to make full use of the support available to you from @stirlingunion too!
