RT @nealrstewart: Devastating understatement in @KieranPAndrews’ 2nd para here: “The former UK Conservative leader, who voted for the EU withdrawal agreement which introduced the controversial protocol, has since become an arch-critic of the arrangement.”
In today's @thetimesscot where I get grumpy about tories playing fast and loose with peace in Northern Ireland and Scotland's independence. Both too important to be left to these chancers.

There is no shortage of distressing events in Israel and Palestine but the scenes around the funeral of murdered journalist Shireen Abu Aqleh must be examined. I will be taking this up for @theSNP when Westminster meets next week.
RT @StephenGethins: Just looking at some of the appalling comments here. I was on the Committee that day. Johnson got it wrong, knew he was wrong & refused to correct the record. There were consequences. Nazanin has every right to be angry.
Lovely to see Elifa Gomes at her new business, Cafe Twilight in Fallin, with new @TeamStirlingSNP Councillor @HamblySnp. A great (and tasty!) addition to the village 😋 🍰 ☕️ 🫖
Good, and should be supported and made real as quickly as possible.
RT @Reuters: Finland’s decision to apply to join NATO ‘without delay’, despite of repeated warnings from Moscow, was widely welcomed by the Finnish population
🗳️ @GoForthStirling, our local Business Improvement District, is set for renewal over the coming months.
✅ I urge Stirling members to vote ‘Yes’, and help unleash the full potential of our city centre.
I don’t need convinced 😉
Delighted for everyone at @StirUni @stirlingunion for the REF results, a great performance and world class research making a real difference locally and globally 👍🏻 🌍
RT @NHSForthValley: Today is #NursesDay
To all our amazing nurses, thank you 💙 #teamNHSFV
If you know a nurse who has made a difference to your life or to the life of someone you know please tell us – we’d love to hear your stories and memories.
The Tories are making political choices at Westminster - and are choosing not to help businesses and households.
It's clear we need an Emergency Budget to begin addressing the unfolding economic pressures across Stirling, Scotland and the wider UK.

Unlike the UK’s hapless government, the EU has thought it through and isn’t bluffing. The UK government signed a solemn agreement, fought an election on it and needs to respect it.
RT @AllieHBNews: Thursday’s FINANCIAL Times: “Brussels threatens retaliation if Northern Ireland protocol ditched” #TomorrowsPapersToday
RT @StevenBonnarSNP: Great discussion all round. Interesting afternoon meeting with the Finnish delegation and a genuine warmth for Scotland appreciated for sure 🏴🇫🇮
Good craic briefing a delegation of Finnish journalists with @StevenBonnarSNP and @DougChapmanSNP on Scotland, independence, NATO, EU membership and more. Great chat with like minded friends 🏴 🇫🇮 🇪🇺
Privileged to chair a cross party meet with exiled Russian MP @iponomarev and discuss Ukraine and Russian internal dynamics. A fascinating range of insights and much to work on 🇺🇦 🇷🇺
📈 My reaction to the Queen's Speech. People in Stirling are struggling with the cost of living crisis, and want to see real action from the UK Government to address it, not warm words.
🇪🇺 Scotland could do so much better as an independent state within the European Union.

RT @ScotNational: 'We’ve had eight years to reflect on what we did not get right in 2014 and I’m convinced the case has only got stronger, with the mess of Brexit becoming clearer and clearer every day' // @AlynSmith
RT @theSNP: 👎 This #QueensSpeech simply is not good enough.
❌ It has offered nothing to help people who are struggling to make ends meet under this Tory-made #CostOfLivingCrisis.
🏴 People across Scotland are being forced to pay a heavy price for Westminster failure and inaction.
RT @theSNP: 👑 While Westminster is too busy with pomp and ceremony, families all over the UK are forced into food banks.
📉 We're in the biggest cost of living crisis in decades, exacerbated by Tory cuts and Brexit - and the Tories must urgently act to fix it.
