Aberdeen is supporting FASD Awareness Day by illuminating Marischal College in red tonight ❤️ September is FASD Awareness Month, and the 9th September is FASD Awareness Day. This draws attention to the importance of going alcohol-free for the approx. 9 months of pregnancy.

In 2022 Keir Starmer was pillorying the Tories for not helping freezing pensioners & parents who were finding it difficult to feed their kids. Now he & Labour are in power they have cut Winter Fuel Payments & refuse to remove the Two Child Benefit Cap. Labour hypocrites!

I wrote an op-ed to coincide with World Suicide Prevention Day (10th Sept) and the BBC ALBA documentary Big Boys Don’t Cry which is broadcast tonight at 9pm & on iplayer BBC ALBA Starting today, let's work together to #ChangeTheNarrative on suicide #WSPD2024

✉️ In response to constituents getting in touch concerned about the loss of the Winter Fuel Payment I have written to Labour MP for Glasgow East John Grady MP asking him to vote to protect the allowance tomorrow. The books should not be balanced on the backs of our pensioners.

Will Labour MPs stand up for Scotland or Starmer?

#RIP dad 💔

The barefaced bullshitting on BBC Newsnight by Barry Gardiner MP claiming that Labour were unaware of a £21.8bn hole in Westminster finances when his party studiously ignored the issue when it was waved under their noses by the The SNP during the election campaign. Shameful.

It is often difficult or even scary to discuss our mental health & wellbeing, but talking and listening can help raise awareness, reduce stigma and encourage open conversations to prevent suicide. Today and every day let’s talk, listen and support one another.

Labour currently have 404 MPs but just one of them – yes just a single 1 - voted to save the winter fuel payment today.

Labour’s MPs put party before pensioners in voting to slash Winter Fuel Payments. It is galling that thousands of older folk in Aberdeen will be forced to endure a cold winter, with higher bills & no additional WFP support. Labour politicians should hang their heads in shame.

AND LABOUR MPS CHEERED FOR THIS?.. Shame.. Shame.. Shame.

All Scottish Labour MPs voted to cut #WinterFuelPayment as part of their #austerity agenda. This is not what people voted for.

Mr Sarwar lied when he said “read my lips, no austerity under Labour”. Labour must be laughing up their sleeves for getting away with the con job that they pulled with their false promises. Now our old folk will pay the price for the cuts imposed by Labour & Austerity Anas.

Look forward to a similar amount from the Westminster Government to help safeguard the future of Grangemouth refinery.

In 2023, 3.99 million international visitors travelled to Scotland, a 13% increase from 2019 spending £3.59 billion, up 41% from 2019 levels. The only part of the UK to surpass pre Covid visitor numbers and real terms spend. roadgenius.com/statistics/tou…

Key actions in Scotland’s National Action Plan for Human Rights will be taken forward while @Scotgov continues to develop a Human Rights Bill, Social Justice Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville told the Human Rights Consortium Scotland conference.

Lillian Jones is a liar just like Austerity Anas with his ‘read my lips, no austerity under Labour’ quote.

Let’s face facts…
