Peter Grant is MP for Glenrothes

@Helen_Barnard @Dr_PhilippaW @TrussellTrust We don’t need the Trussell Trust to tell us how bad things are, and this government is going to make them worse.

Why does he think his personal ratings have dropped so spectacularly? I offer a few helpful suggestions. All together now 🎤'things can only get wor-rse, they can only get, only get....' 🎶

Another brilliant piece from @AnthonyBarnett - leading the way, as ever, on the politics of England and Englishness 👇

Today the UK government announced that it is suspending approximately 30 arms export licenses to Israel, in cases where the government found a “clear risk” that these arms may be used in serious violation of humanitarian law.

Our full statement below.

Shameful and deceitful front page of the Daily Record exposed....

Anum Qaisar spoke in favour of a motion in support of Gaza at the SNP National Conference 2024. The motion authored by SNP SAFI was passed unanimously and unopposed. This is now SNP policy.

"Ultimately the best vaccine for these children is peace."

Well said @DrTedros

For the sake of all those who are suffering, from Israeli hostages to the children of Gaza, we need a ceasefire. What a failure of humanity is has been to allow such misery to continue.

A wee foot note (for connoisseurs of cynicism in public life). @ScotTories leader Ruth Davidson called my #TuringBill “nationalist grievance” (bizarrely since it was England only & had @michaelgove support.) She then voted for an almost identical bill at Holyrood one year later.

We are Migrant

🗣️'I was told there would be no austerity under Labour. Well here it is'

John Swinney has spoken out after Keir Starmer said his UK Government's first Budget would be 'painful'

Chancellor Rachel Reeves was in Scotland today informing everyone she doesn't know how the Scot Gov is funded. In 2015 she was campaigning against the Bedroom Tax she is now keeping. "It's not right that we try and balance the books on the backs of the poorest in society".

Absolutely shocking. £8 billion wasted on asylum, immigration and their useless Rwanda obsession. And Westminster has the gall to lecture us in Scotland about budgeting.

Thanks to the team put in St Andrews this morning 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Look out for the Vote Stefan / Vote SNP signs pop up!

#ActiveSNP #VoteSNP #Stefan4NEF

Yet Scottish NHS still outperforming the other 3 NHSs on A&E & Cancer waiting times as well as having better staffing levels and having avoided NHS strikes!

Delighted to welcome Deputy First Minister, @_KateForbes to Partick Farmers Market today.
Lots of people keen to chat and to tell us they are going to #VoteSNP
#GE24

Let’s re-elect Hannah B as Livi MP @HannahB4LiviMP @theSNP

Always delighted to support ⁦@FairtradeUK⁩ & ⁦@Zaytoun_CIC⁩. Best olive oil I know. First of many events at ⁦@pentlands_space⁩ Green Week in Juniper Green. #EdinburghSouthWest

Delighted to join @JohnSwinney to speak to the WASPI Ladies at the Mary Barbour Statue today. If re-elected, I’ll keep working with WASPI to hold the UK Government accountable. #waspiwomen

“We’re both still good on that £18bn of cuts, yeah?”

“Absolutely. Solidarity, comrade!” 😁

Every. Single. Word. 👏

Absolutely brilliant from @StephenFlynnSNP - we must rail against the demonisation of migrants. Not only is it the morally right thing to do, but migration is vital for our economy and public services.

It’s sad and horrendous that it takes a general election and a leaders’ debate for the rest of the UK to hear about the good SNP policies in Scotland. The UK media need to do better.

This is the must watch clip of the debate tonight @StephenFlynnSNP

Stephen Flynn gets two rounds of applause in less than 90 seconds by completely debunking 10 years of "race to the bottom" anti-migrant politics.

Patiently waiting for Labour to now demand an election in Wales.

Saville Roberts "It is wrong that Vaughan Gething took that money"

Mahmood "You just accepted he didn't break any rules though"

Didnt Labour learn anything form the expenses scandal? When the rules enable wrong doing, claiming you abided by the rules is no defence. #bbcqt

I'm speechless. Even I didn't think Douglas Ross had the capacity to stoop quite so low.
How terribly naive of me.

First Minister @JohnSwinney attended the D-Day 80 commemorations in Normandy to honour those who served in the Second World War.

@ScotGov fully supports our Armed Forces and veterans. We will never forget those who have laid down their lives in service of their country.

In sunny Plean today, great response on the doors. Glad to hear my pro-immigration message on last night’s @BBCdebatenight has resonated with folks here in Stirling.

🔎 The Labour Party could have backed down from Tory austerity and damaging budget cuts.

🥀 Instead, they’re going to double down.

🗳️ Scotland doesn’t need to be short-changed by Labour - vote SNP on July 4th if you support investment in our public services.

David and I have spent many an hour in each other’s company on our travels South, and I’ve never had cause to doubt the strength of his commitment to the North East. Quite shocked to read his candidacy has been vetoed in such a fashion. Wishing him a full and speedy recovery.
