Events in Gaza are bad enough, and I’m deeply concerned that violence is spreading. My letter to the UK government on the worrying escalating violence in the West Bank. All innocents must be protected and international law must be upheld. We need a ceasefire now.

🌟 There's something truly enchanting about the way Stirling, steeped in history, transforms during this season! Here some suggestions on places to visit 🌟

🏰 @stirlingcastle , an architectural masterpiece that has stood for centuries, takes on a new allure as its ancient stones are bathed in the warm hues of autumn. 🍁🍂 Explore its grand halls and learn about its pivotal role in Scottish history, from the Wars of Independence to royal coronations. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The Battle of Stirling Bridge (@HistEnvScot ), a defining moment in Scotland's fight for independence, comes to life in this season. Visit Stirling Bridge and imagine the valor of William Wallace and his men as they fought for freedom amidst the changing leaves. 🍂⚔️

🏛️ @TheWallaceMon stands as an iconic tribute to Scotland's national hero, Sir William Wallace. Set against the backdrop of the autumnal hills, this towering monument commemorates Wallace's brave struggle for Scottish independence.

📚 @OldTownJail a must-visit. Walk through the eerie cells and hear the stories of prisoners from a bygone era, adding a touch of spookiness to your autumn adventure. 👻🗝️

🎭 Immerse yourself in culture: Attend a live performance at the @Macrobert or enjoy a play at the @Tolbooth , where the arts come alive in the heart of Stirling. 🎭🎶

🏛️ The @smithmuseum is a hidden gem in Stirling. Set within a magnificent Victorian building, this gallery showcases a stunning collection of Scottish art and historical artifacts such as the worlds oldest football. 🎨🏛️

R to @AlynSmith: A brief sliver of hope amidst a damning @jrf_uk report:
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Scotland had the lowest increase in destitution since 2019 when compared to the rest of the UK, and policies on free school meals and the Scottish Child Payment makes a tangible difference to people’s lives.

R to @AlynSmith: Key findings from across the UK:
🔴 Around 3.8m people experienced destitution in 2022, 61% increase since 2019. Includes around 1m children, 88% increase since 2019. Considered destitute if not able to meet most basic physical needs: stay warm, dry, clean and fed.

R to @AlynSmith: 🔴Number of people exp. destitution in UK more than doubled in the last 5 years – up from 1,550,000 in 2017.
🔴Since 2017, number of children exp. destitution almost tripled – increase of 186%.
🔴63% of people experiencing destitution have a disability or chronic health problem.

R to @AlynSmith: Westminster continues a long history of failure and managed decline.

@scotgov mitigating what's possible with one arm tied behind our backs, but full powers of independence - over energy, employment, getting back into the EU - would make such a tangible difference to lives.

RT by @AlynSmith: "Scotland's relative position has improved. This may indicate the protective effect of devolved policies such as the Scottish Child Payment, Scottish Welfare Fund and the mitigation of some cuts to benefits."
