@VonnSand@Poli_Monitor I’m glad you’re standing up for your colleagues and engaging in the debate!
But the point is that our MPs perform terribly on these metrics, even when you remove Ministers and PPSs - not just proportionally either.
The better defence is not getting involved in devolved issues.
@VonnSand@Poli_Monitor Only one Scottish Minister on that list and ministerial office lends itself to more chamber contributions, not less.
Asking questions and speaking in debates isn’t the only thing that matters, but this is still a bad look for Scotland. Encourage your colleagues to do better!
@zubirahmed@Poli_Monitor I’d be delighted to take you up on the offer! Very charitable of you to agree to address the deficiencies in my critical thinking.
@zubirahmed@Poli_Monitor If you have an issue with the research, take it up with @Poli_Monitor.
Don’t patronise me about ‘how Parliament works’ though. I’ve worked as a staffer and lobbyist in both parliaments since ‘21. I’m actually quite good at it - your party features my policies in its manifesto.
💛 I've been working hard with this fab team of volunteers, listening to voters across the Glasgow Central Scottish Parliament constituency.
🙏 I'd be very grateful if you could help us reach more voters by donating to my crowdfunder.

EXCLUSIVE: After a phone call w/ a senior political contact in Scotland, I’ve been passed a list of 52 Labour MPs who have donations from Labour Together NOT registered on Electoral Commission website.
LT have funded a whole network of candidates to cement their grip on power:🧵
I've known and worked with Scott for many years now. He had a life and businesses before becoming into politics. He won't take no for an answer and has real world experience. He is without doubt the best candidate the SNP could have in the new Glasgow Pollok & Cathcart seat.
Holyrood26 must be an indy election.
11 years on, we’ve lost momentum + trust.
Families suffer under WM red&blue austerity - they need independence.
WM doesn’t get to say no.
We need candidates who’ll fight to win indy + push the party to take a strong line - Scotland's choice.
A powerful speech from Councillor @Bell45 on how Labour’s cuts will deliberately push disabled people into poverty.
He also shares a striking quote from Labour Councillor Matt Kerr!
I am honoured to be appointed a Trustee of @MedicalAidPal & hope to contribute to their vital work in #Gaza, #WestBank#Jerusalem, #Lebanon & #Jordon.

SPRING STATEMENT: LABOUR'S AUSTERITY
Labour promised change—instead, we got £14bn in cuts!
Same Tory austerity, different red box. ❌ Public services slashed ❌ NI tax hike stays ❌ Poorest hit hardest
You can’t cut your way to growth—but you can break promises fast! #PMQs
BREAKING: The criminal investigation into former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has been dropped. Police Scotland says Ms Sturgeon and the SNP’s former treasurer Colin Beattie are no longer under investigation.
Yesterday, Zubir Ahmed MP falsely claimed Scotland is in "managed decline." The facts say otherwise:
✅ Scotland’s employment rate is up 0.9% 📈
✅ Economic inactivity down 1.2%—the biggest drop in the UK
Scotland is outperforming—creating jobs & boosting growth. #FactCheck
Come 2026, I will have served 15 years as an MSP. The time will be right for me to move on.
As the son of immigrants, I could never have imagined the incredible political journey I have been on. I feel blessed.
Thank you to all of those who have supported me over the years.
