Looking forward to presenting my Asylum Seekers’ Permission to Work bill this afternoon.
This bill will give asylum seekers who have been in the UK for more than 6 months, the right to work- a transformational step for individuals, businesses and communities.

The Better Together buddies are out in force at Scottish Questions. Tories, Lib Dems and Labour all attacking the democratic right of the Scottish people to hold an independence referendum.

I have to say, Nicola Sturgeon has played a blinder here. The media had no idea that so much was in place: the Bill, the Lord Advocate and bold, concrete plans for if a ref is refused. Such a strong start. Bring on #indyref2!

This afternoon, the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom received a reference by the Lord Advocate under paragraph 34 of Schedule 6 to the Scotland Act 1998 under the Supreme Court’s devolution jurisdiction.

Many Tories red-wall Tories will be asking themselves whether it was Johnson’s hard-right rhetoric that got them elected. Can they survive a general election with a more moderate PM? My gut feeling is that he will survive this vote, but will be critically damaged.

BREAKING: Boris Johnson to face vote of no confidence - Tory MPs have just been sent this 👇🏼

Andrew will attend jubilee thanksgiving at cathedral.

What sort of message does this send to victims of abuse?
Appalling decision.

The PM says that it can be difficult to draw the line between work and socialising. I’m sure nurses, doctors, carers and undertakers could help him to work out the difference.

Some Tory in Education Questions has just referred to political activists masquerading as teachers. Such an offensive comment to teachers and school staff who knock their pans in year in year out.
A wee tip: attacking teachers does not help teachers feel valued.

👇🏻“The @scotgov has continued to successfully deliver new & complex social security benefits in challenging circumstances. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENT. There is a conscious focus on the needs of service users, building on the principles of dignity, fairness, & respect..”❗️

Post Johnson meeting:

“The British govt is trying to dress up their proposals as being pro Good Friday Agreement. It’s nothing of the sort. The proposed course of action by Boris Johnson and his govt, can cause nothing other than instability, insecurity and hardship for people”

The All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) has today launched its official website!

The APPG is a cross-party voice in Westminster building change for #pwME with @CMonaghanSNP serving as Chair.

Blame game from UK Government. To recap this is:

Their deal
Their negotiations
Their protocol
Their mess
Their bad faith
Their reneging on agreements

#NIProtocol

Lis Truss currently trying to explain why her own UK Government’s “oven-ready” deal, negotiated with the EU, was not what they actually what they thought it was.

It’s an exciting day of physics with National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher.

Remember:
•Equation
•Substitution
•Answer with units!!!

And girls, get stuck into the “hard maths” and show them how it is done!!!

#SQAExams

I am extremely concerned to hear that both @CorpusChristi_K primary and @StThomasAqSec have received bomb threats this afternoon. This will have been incredibly frightening for all involved. I hope everyone is okay.
I hope the culprit is caught quickly and brought to justice.

A variety of #SQAExams today:

Higher English this morning.
Fashion and Textile N5 and Higher, and
Mathematics of Mechanics Advanced Higher this afternoon.

Good luck everyone!!

Extreme and prolonged heat in Pakistan has helped trigger a Glacial Lake Outburst Flood with catastrophic consequences.

Sadly, there could be more to come. Temperatures will inevitably surpass the 50°C mark in the coming days as the heat intensifies in Southern Asia. https://twitter.com/pamirtimes/status/1522906408391680000

Ongoing direct action against a Home Office immigration raid at Nicolson Square. Members of the community are blockading the vans & offering noisy support. Agreement seems to have been reached that enforcement officers can leave as long as they do not take any detainees.

The #SQA schedulers have chosen today’s exams well: Modern Studies National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher today.
Will there be a question on #STV ?
Good luck to all council candidates and Modern Studies students!

Afternoon #GOTV in Broomhill with my trusty assistant. Although she kept pestering me about going to the polling station for #dogsatpollingstations. Tomorrow pal, tomorrow! #activeSNP Please remember to vote and #voteSNP 👍

A wee morning campaigning session in Thornwood with @FeargalDalton, followed by an afternoon in Drumchapel campaigning for our brilliant all-women candidates in Drumchapel/Anniesland: Fyeza Ikhlaq, @AnneMcTaggart23 and @CylinaForWard14.
