Delighted to announce that the #ViewfromBrussels webinar series is finally going live! First speaker will be @SeanKellyMEP (do give him a follow!). At a time of political change, the issue of Europe remains absolutely key for the future of #Scotland. Registrations will open soon!

Looking forward to the timely discussion with @SeanKellyMEP, who's the lead MEP for UK trade matters in the European Parliament, Chair of the UK Monitoring Group for Brexit related matters and First Vice-Chair of the EP’s standing delegation to the EU-UK Parliamentary Assembly.

With all that's been happening over the past weeks and months, it's time to revisit this key issue for the future of #Scotland. Excited with what's in the pipeline this time round. Watch this space!

Some very... errr... interesting boundaries here. Question now, for @BCommScot, is whether the consultation will be truly consequential if feedback differs or, as expected, just a *pretendy* one...

[Philip Sim @BBCPhilipSim]

For fans of slightly dizzying electoral maps - here are the final proposals for boundary reform of Westminster seats in Scotland. Old ones are the black lines, coloured chunks are the new ones. There will now be (yet another) consultation: https://t.co/K9kOUTRpGx

In 2005 Rupert Murdoch paid $580m for MySpace. In 2009 he sold it for $35m

In 2013 Yahoo paid $1.1bn for Tumblr. In 2019 they sold it for $3m.

In 2022 Elon Musk paid £44bn for Twitter. <To be continued...>

Wholeheartedly agree with this! Standing charges should be abolished altogether and reflected in the kWh actually used instead. It would be far more transparent. No hope of @Ofgem doing so though...

@buchanan17 @MrJohnNicolson @spectator @FraserNelson Everyone who voted Leave voted knowing this was the side they were supporting.

@Buchanan_1967 Wait... A Tory MP from *Liverpool*?? There is no such thing! 😉

This chart, unveiled by Sir John Curtice (@WhatScotsThink), shows how support for being in the EU has increased over time — particularly since labour crisis headlines of autumn 2021

He says that while most opposition parties don’t want to debate Brexit, the public is debating it

A scenario where the capabilities needed in an independent Scotland have to be taken with the utmost seriousness, effectiveness and urgency, in terms of delivery on the ground - along with sea and air (cyber too!).
