The most devastating short form critique of Brexit I have seen.
I am just finishing this wonderful book, #RemoteSympathy by Catherine Chidgey. I read a lot but I have never read anything like this. I came across this by accident and cannot recommend it highly enough.

More #Caturday love 🤍
Britain slides into crisis. Inflation at 13% and fuel bills of £4200 are catastrophic and will inflict real pain on millions of folk. More needs to be done by the UK Govt to offset the cost of energy or the consequences are going to be frightening.

#Hauliers are essential to our economy but drivers need secure facilities where they can park, eat, relax & sleep. I met with #RoadHaulageAssociation to discuss the estimated 11K shortage of lorry parking spaces needed to support this crucial role in our supply chains.
.@PGibsonSNP 🗣️ "The UK Government must focus on the day job rather than bicker over which two members of Boris Johnson’s failed Government should replace him."

@PGibsonSNP @GOVUK @scotfooddrink Thanks for raising this in the House, Patricia, much appreciated. 👍
In response to the Minister, I can confirm that we are overly infected with reality.
I called on the #ToryLeadership candidates to come clean about the mess #Brexit has caused for the #Scottish food & drink sector.
It's time @GOVUK listened to @scotfoodjames, CEO of Scotland Food and Drink & made exporting goods easier. Brexit is not working @scotfooddrink 👇.
Dog attacks pose a risk to our @RoyalMail #posties with 6 attacks on #postalworkers every day across the UK. Royal Mail and #CWU workers are seeking to raise awareness of #DogAttacks and urging dog owners to watch out for their postie
The advantage of a dry summer is being able to leaflet the ward & get to see beautiful plants & gardens. Hydrangeas & montbretia at their best at this time. #greatoutdoors

📣 “Ignore her”.
👇🏼 Liz Truss, the person the Tories want to make the next Prime Minister, says what she really thinks about Scotland’s democracy.
Hi @trussliz Why do you disrespect the people of Scotland so? PS Asking for my country 🏴🏴🏴
On behalf of rescued laboratory dog @BetsyAmbassador, thank you @PGibsonSNP for leading the call for a rigorous public science hearing to #EndAnimalTesting.

I was very impressed with the array of talent on display at the #NewCunninghameArtClub exhibition in the #BaronyCentre in #WestKilbride. The exhibition runs until 13th August & is open from 10am-4pm Monday to Saturday.Entry is free. It’s well worth a visit so catch it if you can!
I called for suspension of #TradeAgreements with #Faroe Islands until cruel & barbaric #whalehunts & #dolphinhunts end. International concern means diplomatic & economic levers should be used to effect necessary changes. See my contribution below 👇.
Well done @southayrshire. This looks amazing and hopefully something @North_Ayrshire could do more of in the near future. #wildflowers @NAC_Provost @PGibsonSNP. thanks to North Ayrshire Bee Association for posting this on Fb #bee #honeybee
I was delighted to support charity @GBSSupport marking July’s Group B Strep Awareness Month #GBSAM2022 and its #BumpItOn campaign. This infection kills 1 baby each week in the UK but awareness is low. More info here https://bit.ly/2ttNtKQ
Charlie Valance was last seen at around 6pm on Monday

The #CostOfLivingCrisis is spiralling out of control with energy bills set to triple. As the Tories squabble, people are suffering real hardship. An urgent package of support is needed to help households. @jrf_uk is predicting a grim winter.

Every year over 1million pensioners fail to claim #PensionCredit payments. Please check your eligibility today - if you claim by 18th August you will also receive the full £650 #CostofLiving payment More info here https://bit.ly/3emhSzm from @Age_UK
Reposting this video from a few weeks ago - when a Labour MP admitted that two Labour councillors were sacked for refusing to vote FOR a Tory administration.
Now they’ve went and sacked a front bencher for standing on a picket line…
I am delivering leaflets in #Ardrossan with advice on #EnergyCosts, how to access support & tips on reducing energy use. Energy prices are set to rise again in October to unacceptable levels with many households struggling & more falling into #FuelPoverty. #CostOfLivingCrisis
I signed a pledge to raise awareness of the dangers of #buttonbattery ingestion which can kill children, after meeting @HarperLeeFDN & @CAPTcharity. Button batteries are in everyday objects.

I have a surgery tomorrow in @kilbirnielib in #Kilbirnie. No appointment needed. Details below 👇
I had a great time at this years exciting #DuckRace at #ElmPark Allotments @3townzgrowers with #KennethGibsonMSP & @Anthea_Dickson Lots of fab work being done at this facility so it was a pleasure to once again attend one of their community events and in such glorious sunshine.
Happy #Caturday
As delays with passports, driving tests, driving licences & visas continue, I called on @GOVUK to apologise for gross incompetence in failing to plan & recruit sufficient staff to meet post-#lockdown spike in demand. #Torychaos is causing #BacklogBritain misery. Watch below 👇.
Off to my #Kilwinning surgery in @kilwinninglib with more new children's books to donate to @NACLibraries. #SummerReadingChallenge
I have an advice surgery this Friday, 22nd July, in #Kilwinning and on Monday, 25th July in #Kilbirnie. No appointment needed. Details below 👇
In Trade qs at Westminster @PGibsonSNP raises the quote from @scotfoodjames CEO of Scotland food and drink that Brexit "has made absolutely nothing better and has made a lot of things worse" and asks what he is doing about it. Answer? Minister says she is being 'pessimistic'🤦
Amidst warnings from @MoneySavingExp @MartinSLewis that people may be forced to use #heatbanks this coming winter due to soaring energy costs, I urged @cabinetofficeuk to improve support for households during these difficult times 👇
Congratulations @joannaccherry! Well done!
Congratulations to @joannaccherry, who has been elected as the new Chair of the Joint Committee on Human Rights.
I was recently joined by actor @PeterEgan6 as we continue to campaign to #BanTrophyHunting. 9 out of 10 people in the UK a want to see an end to this barbaric industry. No living creature should be killed for thrills.

During these days of high temperatures, @DogsTrust reminds us all how to look after our pet dogs. High temperatures can be extremely dangerous for dogs who are very susceptible to heatstroke. Good advice below 👇☀️ 🌞

Delighted to contribute a trolley of food to the recent #FoodBank collection in @Tesco #Kilbirnie, but we need to eliminate the need for #FoodBanks, which is disgraceful in such a rich country as Scotland. @TrussellTrust
Thanks, @pryce_paul I was keen to participate in that important debate.
@PGibsonSNP really appreciated your presentation against whale and dolphin slaughter. Thank you.
I raised concerns about @GOVUK plans with @CommonsLeader to slash compensation payouts for delayed, cancelled & overbooked domestic flights, which threatens high standards & may disincentivise consumer claims @WhichUK
Tory MPs changed their mind about their leader & as a result he will resign. Yet, these same Tories believe Scots should not have the #IndyRef they mandated because they fear #Scottish #Independence. It seems #democracy does not apply in Scotland. #PMQs 👇
Better Together alive and kicking as Labour MP Siobhan McDonagh admits that Labour will always work with the Tories against the SNP. 👇
“Only last week, we suspended two Labour councillors in Edinburgh because they weren’t prepared to vote for the Tories instead of the SNP.”
Labour in their own words.
I am proud & delighted to support the Private Members Bill from @Stuart_McDonald to secure paid leave for parents of babies born premature or sick. New parents should not have to choose between being with their sick child & going back to work to pay bills @Blisscharity
Great fun at #WhitleesGala in #Ardrossan. It was a real pleasure to present the ceremonial sashes to royal couple King Braxton McCulloch & Queen Miley Farrell. A lovely day out with lots of entertainment & fab live music too. Well done to all at #WhitleesCommunityCentre
"The great thing about reading is that it turns human experience into a kind of object that you can look at and turn over," says @MichaelRosenYes

It’s a lovely day for a walk at #Largs Marina
For Putin's regime to be held to account for #warcrimes in #Ukraine, the @IntlCrimCourt needs sustained #international support and funding. I asked the Justice Secretary what support @GOVUK is giving to aid the ICC’s investigation into war crimes in Ukraine. Watch below 👇.
Delighted to again support #SummerReadingChallenge encouraging children to keep reading during the summer holidays. I’ll be donating books from @readingagency today to #ArdrossanLibrary for local children to enjoy. More info here 👉 https://bit.ly/3RiBwki. Let’s keep reading!
