@brittnaynay3 @Thermaltake_na Looks sick.

NEW: Labour and Tory councillors have voted against funding for community groups in Hamilton and Larkhall on the eve of a crucial by-election in the constituency https://t.co/fb4W3zI0Rx

[SNP South Lanarkshire @SNPSouthLan]

Disappointing to see Labour+Tories team up again to deny Hamilton community groups funding they need+deserve.

£0000s sitting unused specifically for this purpose.

We call on Labour+coalition partners to end their austerity agenda and invest in the people & places of South Lan.

@LaurenOxleyx I can't say I remember him at all.

[Cal Johnston-Dempsey @CalDemps]

@TyrantHealthFix @BaronDestructo The only correct answer. Best episode there was.

[Cal Johnston-Dempsey @CalDemps]

@CalMacFerries The same error is returned when we try to add me as a travel companion on her account.

Tested on Mac OS (Safari and Chrome) and iOS (Safari).

We would just delete the account and sign up again but can't find that option (which may breach GDPR).

[Cal Johnston-Dempsey @CalDemps]

@CalMacFerries On your booking system, was originally going to sign up as myself but changed wife's name as she has a concession. Forgot to change gender/birth date.

Tried to update to female/her bday but any type of update (even not touching the date) results in this error.

[The National @ScotNational]

BREAKING: 59% of people would back Scottish independence if it means removing the monarchy and becoming a republic, a new Norstat poll has found.

[Cal Johnston-Dempsey @CalDemps]

@XanderMcDade The issue has never been the equalisation of the pension ages, it's the equalisation during the working lives of 50's women.

@iamonabeach @rsmcksg @robm2 @donaldturvill It's not 3 months straight. Councils tend to operate their recess to be the same as the school holidays for their area.

[Cal Johnston-Dempsey @CalDemps]

@AnnMcGill16 I know nothing about this. Cllr Dewar will be in touch.

[Cal Johnston-Dempsey @CalDemps]

@AnnMcGill16 *hear

[Cal Johnston-Dempsey @CalDemps]

@AnnMcGill16 Hi Ann, I'm not your brother's councillor but I've had a word with Cllr Dewar and you'll here back from him in reply to the email you sent him today.

[Cal Johnston-Dempsey @CalDemps]

Thanks to Ggow Times for covering this, I'm proud to have written it with @EliseFrameSNP

Vapes can play a role in helping smokers quit but they are now the primary source for new nicotine addicts

Anything to keep these fruit flavour death batteries away from kids is worth a try

Council cracks down on sale of vapes to children https://t.co/DLNMeefTIL

@taysiderinspace @Sinead1988 3 but it went three Labour after by-elections

[Cal Johnston-Dempsey @CalDemps]

@taysiderinspace @Sinead1988 Thorniewood ward on NLC too.

🎅 Make your way down to Uddy Cross for Grow Uddingston's Xmas Fayre. Raffle/Tombola. Free hot choc at the Church of the Nazarene

I bought a wreath, a choc orange highland coo, tablet & a Muiredge/SJB tote bag

Got something else but can't post in case my wife sees her gift 😂

Scotland produces more electricity than we use, and we do it in the cheapest ways possible – renewables.

Yet the price of electricity is pegged to the most expensive way of producing it – burning gas.

Scotland could have free electricity at times if London changed this rule.

[Seamus Logan MP @SeamusLoganMP]

Electricity prices in the UK are tied to global gas prices, which makes electricity more expensive for consumers. I called on the Prime Minister to commit to reforming this to lower household bills. @theSNP

[South Lanarkshire Council @SouthLanCouncil]

Much of South Lanarkshire is now covered by an Amber warning for snow and ice. That means a higher chance of disruption so please be careful and avoid travel if possible.

[Cal Johnston-Dempsey @CalDemps]

Proud to have brought this to SLC with Cllr Frame.

Vapes can play a big role in helping smokers quit, but they are now becoming the primary addiction drivers for new nicotine addicts.

Anything we can do to keep these fruit flavour death batteries away from kids is worth a shot.

[SNP South Lanarkshire @SNPSouthLan]

💨 Retailers in SouthLan are selling vapes to kids

✅ An SNP group motion has secured:
• Further test purchasing
• Better promotion of public reporting options

✅ Also secured officer time to explore banning retailers from selling cigs/vapes & sanctioning their other licences
