I spoke for lifting the 2 child limit in parliament before and after it was government policy. I talked to foodbank charities this week. I also watch TV with my kids & ran a marathon to raise money for cancer. Don’t criticise politicians for being normal people celebrate it.
John Swinney simply cannot respond when asked by @lucyidunn about the SNP’s time-limited commitment to the triple lock made during the 2014 referendum campaign. He ignores the question and just witlessly recites his prepared remarks.
The core, and to me the best bit, of being elected is holding surgeries and helping constituents.
It’s wrong and harms trust in politics to be running for another job when you’re not doing the basics. (Plus I don’t get why it’s taken months? I did my first surgery in days…)
Scottish nationalists spend all their time looking for short cuts and smart hacks that can bring about a referendum before a substantial and sustained majority exists. Not only is this futile, it is a distraction from the hard slog of achieving that very majority.
@EdinburghRugby This is a gorgeous shirt. Wish macron had realised something like this with the Murrayfield centenary shirt. Slightly suspect they saw the huge praise for Adidas’ Le Crunch vintage stuff and decided to get in on it beyond match shirts
@mangorugby I know it can't really happen but would be nice to see both clubs wear their Euro shirts for the 1872 Cup this year.
They're both pretty special.
@AndyBurke_@TEnglishSport Unfortunate Glasgow couldn't get the job done against Ulster. Is it time Edinburgh are finally accepted as the premier team in Scotland?
The logical conclusion is he ultimately supports 100% of public expenditure on the state pension.
The triple lock is an exponential ratchet. It's unsustainable and unjust to young workers.
A National Care Service will ensure people don't have to sell their home to pay for care.

Our first Labour and Co-operative Prime Minister @andyburnham on the Britain he loves: a country of solidarity, not separation.
