It was good to meet with Eddlewood Bowling Club today to discuss the pressures that hard working community groups are facing as a result of the cost of living crisis. My office will always be available to help out any community organisations across the constituency. @wsosharpe
This week, the eligibility criteria was extended for Warmer Homes Scotland so that more households can receive support during the cost of living crisis.
I would urge constituents to check if they are eligible and apply for the extra funding if they are.

π¨ The UK government's policy of sending asylum seekers to Rwanda is abhorrent and inhumane - and it's not in Scotland's name.

π¨ Boris Johnsonβs ethics advisor has just quit.
β Boris Johnnson has now ditched ethics rules from the ministerial code and lost his ethics chief.
π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ Scotland can do so much better than this. We can build a greener, fairer, better Scotland with independence.
The figures do speak from themselves, @BorisJohnson. Nations like Denmark, Norway, Iceland and Ireland have:
π Greater income equality
π Lower poverty rates
π Higher productivity
If these countries can do it, #WhyNotScotland? Because we are being held back by Westminster.
'Isn't it the case, Prime Minister, that Scotland can't afford to stay trapped in the failing Westminster system?' asks SNP Westminster Leader Ian Blackford, raising concerns about the economy and the threat of a trade war with the EU.

Great to join Lanarkshire Carers Centre for their first in-person @Lan_Carers event at Chatelherault Country Park for #CarersWeek #Chatelherault #LanarkHamiltonEast
Thanks to @AngelaCrawley30 and @AnasSarwar for dropping into our #carersweek event at Chatelherault Country Park.
Happy Lanimers evry'budy!
Congratulations Queen Caitlin and Lord Cornet Derek McGuiness.
So proud of Lanark, you were awesome. Enjoy the rest of the festivities! @LanarkLanimers
Views are being sought on two strategic plans that will be key to the services that are delivered across South Lanarkshire. More than 3,300 local people have already taken part in conversations that have led to the creation of a draft new Council Plan and Community Plan.
π£ @BrendanOHaraMP: "Scotland deserves a better democracy than the charade that is currently being foisted upon us by Westminster."
π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ With independence, we will always get the governments we vote for - not Boris Johnson and the Tories.
π³οΈ Scotland will have that choice.
π₯ @Ianblackford_MP eviscerates Boris Johnson after over 40% of Tory MPs vote no confidence in him.
"For Boris Johnson, truth and reality are strangers. The simple fact is, he does not have the support the people of these islands. He should be an ex-Prime Minister."
If you want to see Scotland get the politicians we vote for and the strongest economic recovery, the best way is independence in Europe. Come and be part of it π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ ΏπͺπΊ https://www.snp.org/join/
That result is surely the worst of all worlds for the Tories. But much more importantly: at a time of huge challenge, it saddles the UK with an utterly lame duck PM. And for Scotland, it just underlines the democratic deficit - only 2 of π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ 59 MPs have confidence in the PM. https://twitter.com/jonsopel/status/1533902346543054850
That is a BIG vote against the prime-minister. Anyone who says this over is kidding themselves
π Happy #PrideMonth from all of us at the SNP.
π This month, and all year round, let's celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and fight for a more inclusive society that always embraces diversity.
π¨ Boris Johnson must answer questions on the ministerial code after he was fined over #Partygate, UK government ethics adviser has said.
π #ICYMI Boris Johnson just changed the ministerial code - allowing ministers to break the rules without resigning.
π£ The Commissioner for Fair Access hailed @scotgov's higher education policies as an "unambiguous success".
π We have abolished tuition fees, invested record sums in student support, and record numbers of Scottish students from deprived areas now enrol at university.
According to the Commissioner for Fair Access, the @scotgov approach to widening access to university has been an βunambiguous successβ.
As a result, Scotland now leads the UK. https://www.gov.scot/news/scotland-leads-uk-on-university-students-from-deprived-areas/

I am appalled to hear the truly appalling findings #suegreyreport into lockdown parties at Downing Street.
While my constituents and followed the rules his government set in order to protect lives, the Prime Minister partied as if everything was normal and then lied about it.
Take responsibility for your law-breaking actions.
@BorisJohnson, resign. #PartyGate
The #SueGrayReport lays bare the scale of rule breaking that @BorisJohnson presided over. Rules that he lied to parliament were followed at all times. A culture of drinking and debauchery in No10, while the rest of us stayed home. His only option should be to resign #PMQs
π¨ While people followed the rules and stayed at home while those nearest and dearest to them were dying, Boris Johnson was surrounded by drink, toasting to a party.
β Boris Johnson must resign or be removed from power
