Labour in Westminster & Hamilton are refusing to give an answer to why they cut the Winter Fuel payment. Labour is failing the most vulnerable in society. That is why the ⁦The SNP⁩ reintroduced the Winter Fuel Payment. No wonder the Prime Minister is hiding from voters.

Worth noting Scotland has voted in favour of European membership not once but twice …. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺

So, Ukraine attacks Russian aircraft and airfields in well planned operations against military targets---and Russia terrorizes Ukrainian civilians with double-tap strikes designed to kill and maim. We are seeing this war in a nutshell over the last few days.

The mainstreaming of far right ideas in UK politics needs to be challenged & shows why John Swinney was right to raise the alarm - scotsman.com/news/opinion/c…

Absolutely shocking that since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, 76% of all Russia’s LNG exports have been carried on UK owned or insured vessels. This bloody trade financing Russia’s war of terrorism against Ukraine must stop. The UK Government must act now.

If Kharkiv were Chicago, this would be called what it is — terrorism. But it’s Ukraine. So russia burns cities and calls it liberation.

John Swinney has highlighted the “security, stability and opportunity” Scotland could have if it was in the European Union (EU). news.stv.tv/politics/eu-me…

For The SNP, I welcomed the sanctioning of Ben Gvir and Smotrich but pointed out the absurdity of sanctioning Israeli ministers for their '"repellent and monstrous" views while continuing to supply them with weapons they need to carry out their "repellent and monstrous" plan.

Public ownership in Scotland is not only hugely popular amongst my constituents and elsewhere, it’s also providing huge benefits. Congratulations to ScotRail on their impressive achievements

1/ We have seen Labour MPs and MSPs describing the SR event as increasing the block grant by £9.1 billion over the SR period. While Barnett consequentials add up to this, it's a figure that is neither transparent nor helpful

I seem to recall 95.9% of the people of Gibraltar voting to stay in the EU in 2016. They had pleaded with politicians in the UK to support them, and vote to remain. They were comprehensively ignored by those driving Brexit.

1941 #OTD the Soviet occupation regime deported 15 400 innocent people from 🇱🇻 to Siberia to perish. We commemorate them. Russia’s brutal regime today does in Ukraine what Soviets did to the Baltic peoples. Methods of Stalin and the butcher in Kremlin are the same. #StopRussia

Stephen Gethins MP, writing in The Scotsman.

Russia has launched one of its biggest drone and missile attacks yet on Ukraine's capital, killing at least 15 people. The bombing lasted more than nine hours, demolishing a nine-storey residential building while people slept.

A new Food and Agriculture Organization/World Food Programme report warns of a devastating hunger outlook: 📍Sudan 📍Occupied Palestinian Territory 📍South Sudan 📍Haiti 📍Mali – all at risk of famine. Conflict, displacement & funding shortfalls are pushing millions into starvation. I echo the calls to demand action.

British decline in one story. Any state which finds itself incapable of managing a project as basic as rolling out a 20th century tech between its biggest cities needs to ask itself some profound questions about what hope it has of managing the technologies of the 21st.

If you’re remotely interested in languages or language politics I don’t think there is anything funnier than somebody with a Ukrainian flag in their bio declaring Scots to be “pigeon English”.

Labour kept the Two-Child Cap. The Tories introduced it. The SNP are scrapping it.
