Yesterday, the APPG @LordJohnMann co-hosted a conference on antisemitism in the Health Sector. It was addressed by @wesstreeting and his remarks have been reported on by @JewishNewsUK jewishnews.co.uk/health-secreta… APPG MPs @JoaniReid @DavidPintoD @PeterPrinsley played an active role.
Just this. 👇🏻
I have literally done some of these procedures and operations. The problem isn't what my dedicated colleagues do, but how much better they could be doing if they had a govt backing them. So put down your 2014 notepad of spin and grievance, do some proper research and stop trying…
This morning @clairebakermsp & I met with Sandie Peggie, who I have spoken in support of in Parliament. Sandie has 30 years’ service as a nurse at the Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy & should never have had to take legal action to uphold her right to change in a single sex space.
The conduct of NHS Fife bosses is a disgrace. They've failed in every possible way: morally, professionally and as leaders. They should be sacked and never allowed near the NHS again. This goes way beyond Fife. It's a national scandal - a shameful reflection of how the Scottish…
Unprecedented intervention by the Information Commissioner and shows serious concern about NHS Fife. The statement from NHS Fife victimises counsel, witness and Sandie Peggie. It must be withdrawn and an apology given. The SNP need to get a grip - this is their health board.

Torness Scotland’s biggest generator by far. Twice as much electricity as all of Scotland’s wind farms put together. Renewables are great but they aren’t enough on their own electricityproduction.uk/in/scotland/
My view on why John Swinney should recognise that this is not the moment to hide from public scrutiny over organised child abuse. In today’s Daily Mail. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
Extremely proud to be apart of this APPG. Commercial sexual exploitation is happening in our communities on an industrial level, fuelled by social media and online platforms.

This is not just incompetent from SNP Government, it’s disgraceful.
The SNP Government has been blasted for "wasting our money" after forking out nearly £10 million on "free bikes" for kids at £700 a pop. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…
SNP puts ideology before security and jobs - quelle surprise.
EXCLUSIVE: The SNP Government has been accused of a "dereliction of duty" after failing to carry out any analysis of the potential economic benefits of building new nuclear power stations in Scotland. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…
SNP government is failing patients and failing Scotland.
With Labour, NHS waiting lists are falling and we have an ambitious plan for the NHS’ future. In John Swinney, the SNP have an analogue politician in a digital age, and Scotland’s patients are missing out. Scotland needs a new direction with @AnasSarwar. thetimes.com/article/83e455…
Today alongside my friend @wesstreeting we launched the NHS 10 year plan that will transform the patient and staff experience in our NHS. But it's a day also laced with sadness for me because my constituents in Glasgow South West are still at the mercy of an inept @theSNP govt.…
We've received the Government's response to our report on the summer disorder in 2024. We would like to know more about the Government's plans for building police capability to gather open source intelligence from social media, and we've written to @DianaJohnsonMP. Links below.
@alexmassie on 🔥: Total funding for the Scottish government is 6 per cent higher in real terms this year than it was last year… And yet, to hear ministers speak you might think Scotland…is somehow blasted by the chill winds of “austerity”. thetimes.com/uk/scotland/ar…
Scotland is not immune to organised sexual abuse. Survivors deserve justice, and that starts with the truth. I’ve called again for a full, independent inquiry into organised child sexual abuse in Scotland.

Hundreds of messages a day aren't just about screen addiction. Kids face serious dangers online and it's time tech giants stepped up and prioritised child safety. My comments in @TheSun on Sunday today: thesun.co.uk/news/35610583/…
Under the SNP Scotland could miss out on almost all the clean power, jobs and growth bonuses that are coming from nuclear renewal. If we want to be in the game we need change at Holyrood. Me in today’s Herald: heraldscotland.com/politics/viewp…

At @HolyroodSources live event, it took 30mins before Swinney was meaningfully questioned about 18 years of SNP government record. It took 5 minutes to ask @AnasSarwar about one year of a Labour government record. And this is the problem with the political framing in Scotland.
