Fantastic effort, congratulations! Great to see @BannockburnHigh down in London doing so well! Safe home!
RT @MissDavisBBHS: We won the Barker Award for the girls’ incredible presentation!! They are so deserving of this award 💖 their efforts from start to finish have been exceptional and I am so so proud of them 🎉💃🏼 @S4TP_BigIdeas @BannockburnHigh @AlynSmith
A great pleasure to meet the United Arab Emirates 🇦🇪 Ambassador @MansoorAbulhoul talking human rights, energy, climate change, education co-operation and more.
RT @thom_brooks: The first page of the so-called 'British Bill of Rights' is the first such Bill I've seen aimed at stripping rights away from British citizens -- to increase power of an incompetent executive. via @JoshuaRozenberg https://rozenberg.substack.com/p/bill-of-rights

There in spirit, remembering my time as an intern way back when! 🏴🇪🇺
RT @ScotlandEuropa: We’re delighted to be kicking off our #ScotlandEuropa30 reception this evening.
We’ve got an exhibition set up in our conference centre to take our guests through the last thirty years of networking Scotland in Europe 🏴🇪🇺
This is on top of the scrapping of the triple lock. Exceeding poor.

📈 New @TheIFS research shows the impact of raising the state pension age from 65 to 66 - a huge leap in poverty.
🏴 With independence, our pensioners will be treated with dignity and fairness - not the raw deal they’re getting in the UK.

This week will see severe disruption across Scotland's railways and pressure on other public transport. Be sure to plan ahead for any journey and check online for service updates.
@bigvoz74 @MissDavisBBHS @fashionwastew @BannockburnHigh @S4TP_BigIdeas Hello there! Wednesday is in the diary and I’m looking forward to seeing them. Hope the travel works out ok, I was thinking just this morning London is so far away to get to! 🚂 🚌 🚂 🚌
A busy train crossing the Tweed on a beautiful day with Northumbria looking spectacular earlier as I headed South for another week at Westminster 🏴 🚂 🏴
An important policy paper from Stewart and the team, a credible defence policy is vital to signpost what sort of independent actor Scotland will be.
RT @StewartMcDonald: 📣 Today I'm publishing a paper from the @SNPDefence team outlining some recommendations for the NATO strategic concept. Focused on state, society and system, we make recommendations to enhance European security. Read our report here: http://www.stewartmcdonald.scot/n…
RT @thom_sampson: England's politicians may not want to talk about it, but - as predicted - Brexit is hurting the economy. Trade disruption, higher prices, lower investment, slower growth.
@ChrisGiles_ & @GeorgeWParker review the evidence

RT @carolecadwalla: One day, I believe people in Britain will want to know what actually happened in 2016.
That day is not yet here. But it will eventually come. And when it does, this 117-page forensic examination of the facts will form part of the historic record.

Utterly infuriating. Remember, the networks with only a couple exceptions fought EU roaming tooth and nail.
On the plus side: getting EU roaming back, another advantage of independence in Europe ✅ 🏴 🇪🇺 https://inews.co.uk/news/consumer/tesco-mobile-quietly-scraps-free-eu-roaming-from-2023-as-networks-cash-in-post-brexit-1694213
RT @SNPDefence: ‘NATO and the European Union are the twin pillars that buttress the Euro-Atlantic security order and I believe that an independent Scotland’s interests will be best served as a full and active member of each organisation.’ - @StewartMcDonald.

Good. Candidate status commences serious support and talks with a clear eventual end point - EU Membership. Now over to the member states to see if they’ll all back the start of talks. 🇺🇦 🇪🇺
RT @BloombergUK: BREAKING: The European Commission recommends Ukraine be granted candidate status, a significant step on the long path to become a member of the EU, sources say https://www.bloomberg.com/tosv2.html?vid=&uuid=7c362605-ee32-11ec-a19…
Good chat last night with @openDemocracy’s @PeterKGeoghegan. A good round the houses on a niche but important issue: “Are dark-money think tanks bad for British democracy?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptan_TrCRlQ
