In the face of horror and tragedy, our politics has 2 choices
Fan the flames, or work together
Meeting violence with more violence and more hate only leads to more suffering
Reform, Restore, Musk and others have shown us who they are with their words
They are not the answer

Words matter and words are important. Especially when they come from elected reps. At times of tension you can choose to lead or you can choose to follow. You can choose to calm or you can use to fan the flames. What happened in Belfast last night was beyond evil. However the terrifying violence being inflicted on people and property tonight is sickening and honours no one. It is absolutely disgusting. It is scary and it is not who we are. People are being manipulated and used for clout whilst communities are trashed. They will walk away from the aftermath of violence and pain. Sinister forces are at work and we must call this out. All of us. No ifs no buts.

Politicising hate ✅
Going against the wishes of the family ✅
Following in the footsteps of Farage ✅
Glasgow deserves so much better than this dog whistle politics. As usual, it's all hot air, no substance.
Trump's America will not become their Scotland.
Thank you @JDVance.
It says a lot about modern Britain when the US Vice President speaks up, but our Prime Minister remains silent.
White lives matter, too.

And top of all that, a really kind-hearted man, and good friend when I've needed it
@DavidGreen4CSR will be a cracking MSP for Caithness, Sutherland and Ross. And he's only just getting started
Our Caithness, Sutherland and Ross MSP David Green made his first speech as an MSP today.
His speech focused on access to healthcare in the far north and the memory of the late Jim Wallace.

Been thinking of him a lot since the election
How proud he would be of our Highland revival
And how much work we still have to do
Our fight for a fair and equal society goes on, and I am proud to still support that fight
1 June 2015. Charles Kennedy died (aged 55). He led the Liberal Democratic Party through 2 general elections in 2001 and 2005, increasing the party’s number of seats to their highest level since 1923 and he led his party’s principled opposition to the Iraq War.

SNP ministers don’t seem to care that the government-owned water company dumps millions of litres of sewage into our rivers, lochs and beaches.
We have a plan to clamp down on sewage dumping, replace outdate rules and standards and get to the bottom of this disgusting practice.
ALT A Clean Water Act for Scotland. Move towards 100% monitoring of sewage overflows. Long term reduction targets for sewage dumps. Replace outdated sewage standards. Modernise outdated rules and monitoring for bathing waters. Open a route for community groups to request monitoring before an event.

🧵: This is not normal.
I've spent a long time this week thinking about the SNP financial scandal.
Whatever your political views, there has clearly been an abuse of power that demands serious scrutiny and action to ensure it can never happen again.

🧵: Political parties exist to represent the public. Many of us contribute our time, money and trust to them.
That is why difficult questions must be asked about how an organisation as large and influential as the SNP allowed this situation to develop over such a long period.

🧵: This is why there must be a public inquiry.
We cannot let this happen again in any political party.
The choice is clear: bury our heads in the sand, or take full responsibility and act to make sure it never happens again.
That choice rests with @JohnSwinney.

The fact the SNP think independence is the most pressing thing Parliament could debate suggests the government is set to waste the next 5 years.
We need to be focussed on fixing the NHS and care, helping people with the cost-of-living crisis and fixing the roads and the ferries.

This is horrifying
No one should fear for their lives based on their decisions on the pitch
The SFA cannot ignore the problems in our game any longer, top to bottom.

Today’s the day Inverness! 🗳️
It’s been 19 years of SNP neglect for our community, and it’s time for a change. I hope you’ll vote for me in today’s election!
It would be my honour to be your next MSP!
