My full speech from yesterday's #REULBill debate. The Scottish Parliament has refused consent on this Bill, and yet it's set to sail through regardless. Neatly sums up the dysfunction of this undemocratic Union.

🐶 It's not just us who are feeling the heat - high temperatures can be extremely dangerous for dogs, especially if left in a hot car.
🔎 Vital info from @DogsTrust for dog owners and members of the public to recognise the signs of distress.

Households are already grappling with the cost of living crisis - mortgage rates spiralling out of control only heaps on the misery.
The UK Government has the macroeconomic powers over this - communities in Stirling won't forgive inaction.

A word I wouldn’t use on Twitter neither 🙊
RT @PARLYapp: Deputy Speaker urges MPs to be brief.
I would be perfectly happy to summarise this bill in one word if you would allow me some unparliamentary language says @AlynSmith

I’ll be leading for @theSNP on the sad little spectacle that is the Retained EU Law Bill. We remain opposed to the Bill but where there are amendments to make it less bad we’ll support them.

RT @editor_si1926: ‘‘Twas a pleasure and honour to present the Oliver Brown Award for 2022 to @ProfJWR and belatedly to @AlynSmith for 2019. Three years without the @SI1926 annual lunch has seen so many friends pass on but great to get back together again https://t.co/IZomEjnRFe

A great pleasure and very humbling to be in Perth with the Fellows of the Scots Independent and receive the (2019!) Oliver Brown Award from @editor_si1926. We in @theSNP and the Yes Movement stand on the shoulders of giants.

Great night in sunny Midlothian hosted by @OwenThompson with @StephenFlynnSNP on the latest Independence in Europe roadshow 🏴🇪🇺. It’s been a rough few months for @theSNP but we’ll get through it, we’re up for it, and Scotland needs to escape Westminster sleaze.

Great craic, lovely to see you! Great to outline how the EU aspects of the independence prospectus are to my mind crucial in building the case for Yes🏴🇪🇺
RT @LynJardineSNP: Great to hear @StephenFlynnSNP, @AlynSmith and @OwenThompson on wide range of issues affecting Scotland, UK and Europe. Refreshing to hear positivity and resilience being deployed. Despite everything thrown at @theSNP in recent weeks, we stand firm & are just getting started!!

RT @EvelynTweedSNP: 💧 @ScottishEPA have advised that all of #Stirling is now in a Water Scarcity "Alert" area.
They are urging farmers, especially if taking water from burns and small rivers, to:
• Routinely check equipment isn’t leaking
• Only use the water required for the use

This is a really important report from James, which I hope gets the attention it deserves. I’ve been really struck by the strong and increasing co-operation between @FVCollege, @StirUni and @StirlingCouncil schools, we need to boost all those efforts nationwide.
RT @JamesRWithers: For 8 months, I’ve been doing an independent review of Scotland’s £3bn skills system.
Today, my report is published by @scotgov.
Tl;dr: There is good in the system, but the system is …
