✍️ICYMI: I've launched a survey for Stirling businesses, seeking their views and experiences on the extreme pressures they currently face.
⚡️ From Brexit, to post-pandemic recovery, to the cost of living crisis - it's a challenging environment.

Pupils at St Ninians Primary School in Stirling got in touch with me over a really worthwhile issue: widening access to education globally. Very happy to champion their cause, and submit a motion to Parliament.

This is bad news, but also entirely solvable. Independence, back into the EU, is Scotland’s best future, but the UK needs to at least get serious about Single Market membership, and fast. https://n.respublicae.eu/petercampbell1/status/1676648928211509249

Welcome news for our universities, though deal still represents Brexit damage control from UK.
Happy to see @theSNP calls for common sense heeded - obvious benefits of €95.5 billion of funding and international collab across Europe. Return to @Euratom_supply should be next. https://n.respublicae.eu/POLITICOEurope/status/1676569015873929216

Re @GrumpleKiltSkin @ScotRail @StirlingCouncil Agreed, the temporary signage on the temporary fences was actually far better, I’m told there is permanent signage on its way but we could do with it faster. If you don’t know where you’re going it is not overly clear.
