Alyn Smith MP 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 @AlynSmith@respublicae.eu

Busy old day in Stirling and a lot of folks needing advice at my drop in session at St Ninians. I’m proud to be able to help so many people in our community, it’s tough times but we’ll get through it. https://t.co/WBchOtJt7W

✍️ICYMI: I've launched a survey for Stirling businesses, seeking their views and experiences on the extreme pressures they currently face.
⚡️ From Brexit, to post-pandemic recovery, to the cost of living crisis - it's a challenging environment.

Pupils at St Ninians Primary School in Stirling got in touch with me over a really worthwhile issue: widening access to education globally. Very happy to champion their cause, and submit a motion to Parliament.

This is bad news, but also entirely solvable. Independence, back into the EU, is Scotland’s best future, but the UK needs to at least get serious about Single Market membership, and fast. https://n.respublicae.eu/petercampbell1/status/1676648928211509249

Welcome news for our universities, though deal still represents Brexit damage control from UK.
Happy to see @theSNP calls for common sense heeded - obvious benefits of €95.5 billion of funding and international collab across Europe. Return to @Euratom_supply should be next. https://n.respublicae.eu/POLITICOEurope/status/1676569015873929216

⚠️ Businesses near Dumbarton Road have contacted me over continued disruption from the road closure.
🚧 I’ve spoken with @StirlingCouncil, and they’ve agreed to further signage highlighting premises remain open, by tomorrow. High time for better disruption planning &amp; comms.

Re @icatlow1 @ScotNational A fair point. Though as you can imagine, I didn’t do the picture.

Re @GrumpleKiltSkin @ScotRail @StirlingCouncil Agreed, the temporary signage on the temporary fences was actually far better, I’m told there is permanent signage on its way but we could do with it faster. If you don’t know where you’re going it is not overly clear.
