Over a decade ago, I was proud to introduce the bill that gave 16 and 17-year-olds the vote in Scottish elections. Young people here have a stake in shaping our future, and it made Scotland’s democracy stronger. The UK is finally catching up - this change is long overdue.
Good to see Scottish and broader European opinion in sync. Scotland needs to drop the out of date 18th century version of a Union for the 21st century version that most democratic European states embrace. Enough of the Brexit exceptionalism, time to rejoin the mainstream. 🏴🇪🇺
Western Europeans would support allowing an independent Scotland to join the EU Denmark: 75% Germany: 68% Spain: 65% Italy: 64% France: 63% Britain: 46% Results link in following tweet
Welcome to Scotland Madam President 🏴🇪🇺
Following a good call with @POTUS, we have agreed to meet in Scotland on Sunday to discuss transatlantic trade relations, and how we can keep them strong.
The U.K. should follow the example of France tonight and recognise the State of Palestine. This is essential for peace. The ceasefire and humanitarian aid must start now.
I welcome the announcement by President Macron that 🇫🇷 will recognise 🇵🇸 in September. This is an important contribution towards implementing the two State solution, which offers the only lasting basis for peace and security for Israelis and Palestinians alike.

If Keir Starmer believes in a respectful relationship with @scotgov, he needs his Environment Secretary to retract his totally inaccurate comments about Scotland’s water. Our rivers are cleaner, our bills are lower - and public ownership delivers for people, not profit. 👇
The killing of civilians seeking aid in Gaza is indefensible. I spoke again with @gideonsaar to recall our understanding on aid flow and made clear that IDF must stop killing people at distribution points. All options remain on the table if Israel doesn’t deliver on its pledges
This would be a game changer for Scottish businesses. I hope @labourwhips @UKLabour @Keir_Starmer find time for this.
My Bill to devolve immigration, and help other parties, keep to their own commitments is still live. However it needs the Government to give it time and to engage. Given the Brexit calamity, NI increases & other damaging Westminster policies it is the least business deserves

There’s strong support for a Scottish visa from Scottish businesses - which would mean we could recruit workers for our unique needs. ✅ 70% back a Scottish visa. ✅ Most say the Scottish Government understands their needs better than Westminster.👇 heraldscotland.com/news/25324809.…

Farage should never be interviewed without being forced to answer for failures of Brexit. That the man whose lies fuelled Brexit vote which has cost UK Billions & who said Liz Truss budget was “best Tory budget since 1986” could be trusted on *anything* is mind-boggling #bbclaura
Labour maintaining centralising Tory Brexit laws they previously criticised, that took back control from Edinburgh, Cardiff & Belfast. Less change more continuity from Labour - dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…
Dear Europe, thank you for standing with Scotland. We are a proudly European nation and our future belongs in the EU. We’re working on it! 🇪🇺🏴
Just posted on the Trump announcements yesterday. A real mixed bag and hardly the awesome package for Ukraine that had been promised. Trump gives Putin sanctions protection for 50 days and promises Ukraine defensive weapons. Its saying to Putin, keep doing what you're doing.
