🍽 Always a pleasure to meet with Andrew and the team at @stirlingstartup.
📈 The cost of living crisis has been relentless for many in our communities.
💡 It’s the UK Government who need to wake up and use the powers at their disposal to stop a catastrophe this winter.
This UN report into China’s treatment of the Uighurs in Xinjiang is a major milestone in recognising what is happening there. It falls just short of naming genocide but it is most definitely a call to action. We cannot turn a blind eye. https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/documents/countries/2022-08-31/22-08-31-final-assesment.pdf
A new academic year, a fresh @stirlingunion Sabbatical Officer team at @StirUni.
Good to catch-up with Tash, Jess and Murray, who are ready to welcome new and returning students to our fantastic city and community.
Good to see you guys, glad to show my support for local posties and the @CWUnews campaign.
RT @SovereignWill: Thanks to @AlynSmith and @citizentommy for showing solidarity with striking Royal Mail workers in Stirling today.
Royal Mail is an essential public service that's under attack from hedge funds and profiteers.
They'll end the USO if they get the chance.

RT @ScotNational: 'The dreadful choice between heating and eating may indeed end up as no choice at all as energy costs rise'// @AlynSmith
RT @EvelynTweedSNP: 🧵Was good to meet with Duncan Cameron, Managing Director, and Robert Burns, Stakeholder Engagment Officer, of @FirstScotland along with @AlynSmith to discuss the ongoing challenges facing the wider bus industry and the experiences of passengers in #Stirling. 1/4
A really exciting presence in Tyndrum, Stirling and Scotland all operating to world beating environmental standards too 👏
RT @scotgoldresltd: We were pleased to welcome our local MP, @AlynSmith, to showcase our accelerating growth and industry-leading sustainable approach to mining at #Cononish⛰️⛏️
Scotgold is proud to be a local employer in Stirling, making a positive contribution to our community.
💷 @UKParliament should be recalled + emergency budget rolled out to support households & businesses
⚠️ @scotgov are doing what’s possible, but WM retains borrowing & majority of fiscal powers (85% of social security spend remains reserved)

I don't recall this on the side of a bus. Leaving the EU has made everyone poorer, and life generally more difficult, smaller and meaner. And Scotland will get it all back with independence in Europe🏴🇪🇺

Good to meet with friends new and old to discuss the national and local campaign for independence.
Stirling’s ready and raring to go 🏴
RT @TeamStirlingSNP: Fantastic to hear from @theSNP Party President @Feorlean on the building campaign for independence nationally, as well as @AlynSmith and @ScottFarmerSNP on the local Stirling picture 🏴

The latest edition of Stirling Matters is now ready for viewing, a handy summary of recent activities - https://mailchi.mp/364a2a932cc6/stirling-matters-36th-edition-parliamentary-newsletter
Households and businesses are on their knees from high energy costs. It’s a dereliction of duty from a UK Government asleep at the wheel whilst people all over Stirling and Scotland teeter on the edge of catastrophe. We need to see action urgently - we cannot afford to wait.
Where is the UK Government? This will be catastrophic for households across Stirling, Scotland and the rest of the UK.
Businesses too face ridiculous contract renewal quotes, unprotected by the cap.
A massive case of market failure. The UK Parliament must be recalled.
RT @SkyNews: Energy bills to soar for millions as price cap hiked to £3,549 https://news.sky.com/story/energy-bills-to-soar-for-millions-as-price-cap-hiked-to-3549-1…
While the likely UK Prime Minister is making ruinously boneheaded statements about France, Scotland's First Minister is out in our neighbourhood being constructive and co-operative. Whether on energy or representing us in the world, Westminster isn't working for Scotland.
RT @ScotGovNordic: FM @NicolaSturgeon met with Foreign Minister of Denmark @JeppeKofod in Copenhagen this morning.
They discussed how Scotland and Denmark can work…
A concerning report from @CitAdviceScot, revealing the huge spike in demand for advice on the cost of living crisis. The UK Government is still missing in action; the time to act is now.
https://alynsmith.scot/2022/08/25/stirling-mp-cost-of-living-crisis-engulfing-households/
RT @theSNP: 🚨 With the energy price cap set to increase again, the UK government must come out of hibernation and act.
📢 Parliament must be recalled for an urgent vote on freezing the cap and an emergency budget.
🏡 Families and small businesses need help now.
