He met pupils and parents involved in the Clackmannanshire Council Family Wellbeing Partnership at Alloa Academy with Shirley-Anne Somerville, announcing a further £300,000 @ScotGov funding for the programme in 2024-25.

Congratulations to (C)eltic Football Club on being crowned Champions of Scotland again, and in such emphatic style! 🍀

📉 By slashing Scotland’s capital budget, Westminster is making the challenges we face more difficult.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The Westminster parties should put an end to fourteen years of crippling austerity.

Germany is welcoming Scotland and the Tartan Army to UEFA EURO 2024. Thanks to German legend Thomas Hitzlsperger for coming to the home of Scottish football to promote inclusion and diversity ahead of the European Football Championship. Scotland National Team 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇩🇪⚽️

Delighted to have delivered on my and The SNP commitment to bring Rob Roy FC home where they belong, right to the heart of Kirkintilloch.

I have made this a priority as the MP for East Dun - meeting club management my first week in office & continuing this on an ongoing basis.

And the 'unionist regime' he desires would be led by the 'unionist' Labour Party.

Welcome to my new followers💥
This is a great thread to start at if you want to know why I'm blowing the whistle on Liberal Democrats.

The Lib Dems have enabled Christine Jardine MP’s bullying for years. This is a senior staffer, referencing the situation in Brighton when Wendy Chamberlain MP was going to call the police on Christine.

(The “he” referred to here is Willie Rennie MSP).

Ooh he’s raging. This is Alex trying to show that all is fine in West Edinburgh Lib Dems after Christine’s vote on Monday. It’s not. He keeps a list of who she’s bullied and he wants her out.

Don’t let him fool you.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺🌍Looking forward to discussions about Scotland in Europe and the world with The SNP members on Saturday.

Still time to sign up👇

It is absolutely extraordinary to refer in this way to half the voting citizens of a nation you purport to be Prime Minister of - not to mention the government of said nation (democratically elected in every contest since 2007).

On Monday, Rishi Sunak called SNP MPs and half the Scottish population who support independence dangerous extremists.

Just now at #PMQs , he refused to apologise to Stephen Flynn MP and to people in Scotland.

Shows what a pathetic and petty little man he really is.

I, like most other folk who back Yes, want to see a progressive, independent Scotland as a member of the EU, playing its full part in the world.

Sunak, on the other hand, imposes a hard isolationist Brexit and denies Scotland’s basic democratic rights.

Who’s the extremist here?

SNP MP Kirsten Oswald MP has campaigned tirelessly on this and it has paid off 🙌

Yes, and international student applications are also down.

The same international students who contribute £42bn to the economy and are propping up our broken education system.

This cruel and self-destructive attack on international students must end.

The Prime Minister demeans himself by making such a puerile comparison.

What a way to spend your last few months in office.

'He insulted anybody who entertains hopes of Scottish Independence in the most unnecessary way.'

＠mrjamesob says Rishi Sunak's speech 'deliberately sought to alienate anybody drawn to the SNP' by listing Scottish Nationalism alongside 'Russia, Iran, and anti-Semitism'.
