Less power in Edinburgh and London. More power at home.

It's unacceptable that patients are stuck in waiting rooms for hours on end.
Too many beds are occupied by people who can’t get the care package they need to return home. We need to fix the underlying problems in social care, letting people leave hospital with the care they need.

I'm having a lot of fun getting back into rugby, not at my best yet though! 😂🏉

Sports clubs are about so much more than matchdays. They build friendships, create a sense of belonging and support our physical and mental health.

Support your local clubs! 🏉⚽️🏑🎾🏒

@Porrohman @andyburnham @theSNP Yet you're still here 👀

[Neil Alexander @NeilAlex94]

The central belt of Scotland isn't it either @andyburnham... You've been listening to the @theSNP too much

[Chris McCall @Dennynews]

Andy Burnham tells an audience in North Lanarkshire he’s pleased to be back in “the true north”.

@Porrohman @andyburnham @theSNP That's right I forgot the Family Party got 11 MSPs 🙄

I'm not done fighting ✊

Power should belong in the hands of local people

Any changes to local government must not mean more centralisation or taking power away from our communities

This isn't an argument against change. It's an argument for getting it right

@MathewHulbert @scotlibdems Thank you! Should get you up for a Scotland conference

[Neil Alexander @NeilAlex94]

I'm not done yet.

Pleasure as always to speak at the @scotlibdems conference, this time on why we most protect local powers and health services against any centralisation by the Scottish Government

Power belongs in the hands of the people. And I will keep fighting ✊

[Neil Alexander @NeilAlex94]

@ScotYoungLibs Well done team!

[Neil Alexander @NeilAlex94]

@MrJohnNicolson Good thing they aren't in power then! Would be nice to see the SNP make use of the powers they do have

This already exists. GB News 🫥

[Anna Sabine MP @anna4fes]

So Kemi Badenoch wants to pay for new prison cells by cutting £1bn from culture, media and sport?

That means youth clubs, leisure centres, sports pitches, arts projects and music venues, places that give young people somewhere to go and learn teamwork and self discipline, all of that: gone.

That’s not tough on crime, that’s building a pipeline into the very prisons you're promising! And this from a party that added fewer than 500 prison places in a decade, and left communities like mine fighting to keep leisure centres open in the first place.

Disgraceful.

Great fun today at the IAM Gaming Expo, hosted by the Indie Game Squad and @UHIMoray 🎮

The Indie game scene in Scotland is vital to the industry, and that's no different in Elgin!

If you didn't think I was big headed enough, I even got drawn as a planet 🪐

@LukeThomsonLAB @AlynSmith @theSNP Good question...

[Neil Alexander @NeilAlex94]

Pretty hard when colleges and universities are cutting student places up north due to their lack of funding support... @AlynSmith

@politicaltrims The fiancée is trying to convince me to go clean shaven!!

What a result! 🔶

A fantastic win in the Highlands for our new councillor, Julie Calder!

Another strong community champion for Wick and East Caithness, following in the footsteps of the legend Cllr Jan McEwan

On top of that, a +50% win in the SNP council leader's backyard 👀

[Scottish Lib Dems @scotlibdems]

🚨 Lib Dem GAIN Wick and East Caithness

Congratulations to our newest councillor Julie Calder!

A stonking victory in the SNP council leader's own ward🔶
