Community policing looks a bit different when the @FIFAWorldCup is in town! Our officers celebrated alongside fans, both international and local, during Day 1 of @FWC26Boston Fan Fest on City Hall Plaza!

.@UKLabour I would STRONGLY suggest that you remove this post immediately as your statement of myself ‘assaulting’ a female officer is highly misleading and completely false as I’ve never laid a finger on a woman let alone a female Police officer! However doesn’t Labour allow for female police officers to have their noses broken nowadays??? #Manchester #Labourout
Community note
Ant Middleton was convicted in 2013 of common assault on a female police officer, contrary to his denial. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant_Middl… dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7…

Thomas was a two term councillor before becoming an MSP. He’s hardly an insurgent - he’s part of the furniture

Scotland's "National" Embarrassment (@ScotNational) are planning a hit piece on me - bring it on.
They're even daring to question my background.
I was elected to rattle cages of the establishment - given this comic books obsession I call that success 🙌

A Scotland fan has spent 104 days walking 3,000 miles across the US for the World Cup, raising money for mental health
He's responding to Americans who mocked Europeans for thinking they could walk to stadiums: "Never tell a Scotsman what he can and can't do."

The proportionality may be true however the allocation is a political choice.
The SNP is not “proposing to take control” of any committee. The party affiliation of conveners and vice conveners are determined by D’Hondt to ensure proportionality.

Looking fwd to 1st time Swinney or Gilruth appear before Committee arguing that eg £10m grant to local authorities ring fenced for childcare can only be spent on childcare & not the general objects of the local authority contrary to the new SNP definition of ring fencing.

There is no requirement to use D’Hondt in the standing orders. Parliament should vote against the Bureau motion this afternoon and agree a more balanced apportionment of places with no party having both convenor and deputy convenor from same party

Opinion | The SNP's Holyrood election win is tainted by the Peter Murrell guilty plea.
Scots voted on May 7th without the crucial knowledge of the former SNP CEO's corruption.

Meta Ramsay dedicated her life to service and duty both before entering Parliament and throughout her time within it. Much of what she did for Britain will never be fully known, nor was it ever done for recognition or praise. It was done out of a deep sense of duty to her country

It was an honour and privilege to have served alongside her on the Scottish Labour Executive Committee.
Her integrity, commitment and quiet strength will be remembered by all who had the privilege to know and work with her.
Rest in peace, Meta.

SNP funds embezzled by Peter Murrell included taxpayer money
Sturgeon ex-husband had access to £2.2m over 12 years from grants from the UK-wide Electoral Commission
Means bags, cars & jewellery and could have been bought with money from taxpayers, not just members

They will not receive £10,000.
They will get given a loan for £10,000.
God forbid we fix supply side issues rather than throw good money after bad.

“Restore power to Parliament” by scrapping the part of government that coordinates national security, emergencies and cross-government delivery? Absolute fantasy politics.

ANNOUNCEMENT!
Musical chairs in Downing Street don't matter when the real power sits next door at 70 Whitehall. Reform UK will scrap the Cabinet Office and the Cabinet Secretary and restore power to No 10, to ministers and to Parliament. Full policy document here: preparingforgovernment.com/f…
