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.

Intense heat is spreading east through Europe right now. Many more records will fall today.
Inclusivity is incredibly important. Fairness is incredibly important.
The open category ensures both inclusivity and fairness are respected.
A sensible decision.
Fina has voted to prevent transgender athletes competing in women's elite races if they have gone through any part of the process of male puberty.
Work is underway to improve the look and feel of the city centre.
This includes deep cleaning of streets, dressing exterior of vacant shopfronts and finding temp uses for retail buildings currently not in use, as well as encouraging cafe culture.

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 👇🏼
Today we met with Ukrainian MP @kiraincongress, members of the Ukrainian community in Scotland and @StewartMcDonald @CMonaghanSNP and @AnneMcLaughlin to discuss people's experiences of resettling in Scotland and how the resettlement schemes are working in practice.

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.

Looking good, Team Scotstoun!

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.
That will be the local election results where the SNP were the largest party, the Tories lost nearly 6% of their vote share and Labour came third.
Let's be clear. Stirling is not getting what it voted for. https://twitter.com/DeanLockhartMSP/status/1527258962520952834
Great news! Perhaps all parties on the council can now work together in the interests of the people of Stirling as dictated by the results of the local elections. https://twitter.com/EvelynTweedSNP/status/1527227101690068993
We are delighted that Councillor @jakimclaren has been elected as the new @theSNP Lord Provost of Glasgow!

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.
Looking forward to hearing evidence from my old school, @HyndlandSec in @CommonsSTC inquiry on Diversity and Inclusion in #STEM.
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.
Oh Lithuania was very good. Cracking voice!

#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.
My daughter tells it is modern language exams today. 😉

Thanks very much to the staff at @ScottishSPCA Glasgow for showing me round and explaining their work. I loved the dogs and the rabbits, the cats made me nervous and I wasn’t at all sure about the ferrets!!!
Thanks for a brilliant visit!
🐾 Carol Monaghan MP (@CMonaghanSNP) visited our Glasgow Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centre today. It was fantastic to chat to her about the variety of animals we care for including all of our rabbits and ferrets.

Refugees are welcome.
The crowd chant "immigrants are welcome here!" & "shame on you!" as Home Office enforcement officers are escorted out of the building & into a waiting police van - empty handed.
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.
All ready for the final push! Mind the polls are open til 10pm 🗳
