Caring isn’t just my family's story, it is the story of millions, caring for each other, dealing with tough times, and keeping going with love.

Sharing our story hasn't been easy, but it's important. It's time to bring carers' experiences into the light.

I agree with @RoddyQC - and not only is @scotgov attempting to interfere with the powers of the Lord President - it plans to remove the power from civilian juries to determine rape prosecutions brought by the State.

The irregularities of the New Town explained - and guess what, it’s all down to servitudes and boundary disputes! To me the irregularities are the making of the New Town; a pure grid layout would have been tedious.

“Robbie Gibb made my life really, really hard - people would say to me, “Robbie is watching you.”

Erm lads, if you're trying to show just how much you're not like Germany in the 1930s, this ain't it.

Emotional appeals suggesting that if only we left the ECHR, people would stop arriving in small boats are preposterous; and the idea that the U.K. could simply send them elsewhere is without a factual basis.

If you receive a PCN from @APCOAUK or @ncpcarparks because you used an airport Drop-Off Zone (DOZ) and forgot to pay a £5 charge by midnight the next day, you may want to consider not paying it. Please don't rely on this as legal advice, but here's what happened to me. 🧵(Part 1)

A border with England.
Imagine what that would do to families and businesses. When it comes independence, no cost seems to be too high for the SNP.
Shameful.

[Roddy Dunlop KC @RoddyQC]

Lots of complaints on here about certain laws being imposed on people without their express consent. Can we be clear: every law ever was imposed on you without your express consent. We don’t get to vote on the law: we get to vote as to who are the lawmakers.

Patrick Grady's victim has told me he sent round the email as he wanted to respond to public statements made by SNP figures - statements that he says are misleading. The SNP have been asked for comment.
