Another Conservative broken promise means the Government is implementing a real terms cut in defence spending just at a time when we face the biggest threat in Europe since the Second World War. Our armed forces deserve better.
We need to focus on the issues affecting people everyday not an expensive referendum that the majority of people in Scotland donβt want.
Is this the same attention to detail we can expect from @SNP in all areas.. #ferryfiasco #censuschaos and general mismanagement of well... everything
When @BBCGaryR asked me about a "majority of seats" this morning on #bbcgms, I only picked up on "majority". Referenda, including de facto referenda at a UK General Election, are won with a majority of votes. Nothing else.
This would be a wonderful way to express our support and show solidarity to the people of Ukraine.

Tragically, this says it all. Theyβre not taking their eye off the ball, they were never looking at it in the first place. Everything is secondary to division, including the welfare of the most vulnerable. https://twitter.com/michaeljmarra/status/1541784444591374339
Due to the First Ministerβs statement on her referendum bill the debate tonight on Scotlandβs drug deaths has been postponed.
We could work together over the next 18 months to not only change, but to save people's lives. The First Minister's priorities are not the priorities of Scotland, but of her party.
Time and time again, this government have demonstrated their inability to tackle fraud.
Today, Liberal Democrat MPs welcomed their newest colleague @RichardFoordLD to parliament.
What an honour to be part of this ceremony today as a new councillor! Big thanks to all of the impressive staff who made everything run smoothly, very aware a LOT of planning goes into these events. https://twitter.com/RoyalFamily/status/1541434519412252672
π Holyrood Week 2022 has begunΒ with the Ceremony of the Keys at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh. During the ceremony, The Queen was symbolically offered the keys to the City of Edinburgh by the Lord Provost on the day of her arrival.
It was a pleasure to speak at the event this evening '25 Years On: Hong Kong and the Suppression of Freedom' @thecfhk @HJS_Org
@MarkLClifford talking about the collapse of free press in #HongKong over the last 3 years due to #China's interference and crackdown on the city. On a panel with @finnlau_cd and @cajardineMP @thecfh @HJS_Org
One of my earliest memories is singing along to the #Beatles. Let it Be expresses my own deepest emotions. But #Glastonbury2022 - different class @PaulMcCartney different class
It is such a relief to see the full return of these events. An Edinburgh summer at its unmatchable best.

"So many people who voted Conservative all their lives are angry, upset and disappointed in this government.
The farmers and pensioners feel let down, families are squeezed.
All these things contributed to this historic victory today."

A swing of 29.9% puts the Tiverton & Honiton result among the best ever by-election swings in British political history.
The people of Devon have sent a clear message: It's time for Boris Johnson to go.
BREAKING: Liberal Democrats declare victory in Tiverton & Honiton.
@cajardineMP: "This is looking like a clear win. The people of Tiverton & Honiton have spoken up for the country."

"This Chancellor has hiked taxes time and time again, refusing to slash them to help with the cost of living emergency.
Even when we know slashing VAT is a sure-fire way to help families while keeping inflation under control."

People and businesses are being failed. It is not good enough for the Secretary of State to sit on his hands.
If Grant Shapps isn't willing to help, he should make way for someone who is. Ordinary people are being let down.
I canβt get a train (strikes), plane (Brexit) or use my car (petrol prices) tomorrow. Can I borrow your horse and cart please @Jacob_Rees_Mogg?
"This is like a determined effort to waste as much taxpayersβ money as possible. Each day they trash the British tradition of treating people with respect.

No matter how hard I try I know I cannot appreciate what it is to flee with only what you can carry. Leave your life behind. I'm taking time today to think about those who do. #WorldRefugeeDay
Happy #WorldRefugeeDay! π
When they have no choice but to flee, refugees can only carry so much. But what refugees bring β generations of dreams, experiences, traditionsβ is so much more.
RT this videoβnarrated by refugees themselvesβif you stand to make #RefugeesWelcome.
"There have been assertions that this time we will have a respectful debate, but they were no sooner made than Angus Robertson MSP was questioning whether the views of elected MSPs from other parties mattered."

This misses the point. I voted for & campaigned to stay in the EU. I respect the ECHR. I have been at least as critical of this Government as ANY SNP MP. But like the majority voted to stay Scottish & British. That should be respected
@scotlibdems @cajardineMP Respect - when 62% of Scots vote to stay in the EU?
Respect - when enshrining ECHR into legislation for children is rejected by a foreign court?
Respect - forcing GM crops on Scotland?
Respect - delivering #theVOW? Remember the vow?
Sit down.

The Government could do something to resolve this situation yet Ministers havenβt met with the RMT for well over a month.
I am Scottish& British and proud of it. When the SNP decry the UK they belittle who I am. #stillno #notoindyref #UK #SCOTLAND https://www.scotsman.com/news/opinion/columnists/for-many-of-us-these-constant-attacks-on-westminster-show-a-lack-of-respect-for-who-we-are-christine-jardine-3736372
On June 19, 1865 the Emancipation Proclamation was announced in Texas, 2 years after slavery was made illegal, marking the end of slavery in the U.S.
#Juneteenth celebrates freedom, equality, & the commitment to progress.
And it is now a federal holiday in the U.S. π
