@RhodaGrant is speaking up for islanders on this at every opportunity. @_KateForbes is strangely silent. I wonder why…..

Send the bill to Westminster I’d say …

[Paul Hutcheon @paulhutcheon]

This is going to end very badly.

[Stoma Babe @stomababe]

The attitude of “oh but people who need stoma bags are a minority” is not good enough. There are accommodations made in places for those with physical disabilities despite not being the majority.
Why can we not begin to make life more accommodating for those with stomas?

Ironic SNP want to listen to big business now after pretty much ignoring small business views on the DRS all the way through

[Humza Yousaf @HumzaYousaf]

If UK Govt doesn't listen to me, they should listen to Scottish businesses like Tennent’s & others who say excluding glass from DRS will put them at a competitive disadvantage and risk jobs & investment.

UK Govt should do what's right by the environment, business & devolution.

[Mike Robb @mgrobb]

Totally suits government to have the Met and NHS arguing over who picks up the load. Conveniently avoids the real issue which is services and resources stripped to the bone by 13 years of Tory austerity https://t.co/asIyxC3IOw

@Neilsocialist My copy has just arrived in post....

Brilliant - will defo be on one that day!

We need to move on from debates about immigration & Braverman’s speeding. @UKLabour needs to be setting agenda on dealing with cost of living, growing the economy and rebuilding the NHS

[Mike Robb @mgrobb]

A Labour government is 100% committed to repealing this bill. Look forward to the SNP supporting us..

[David Linden MSP @DavidLinden]

😡 The latest Tory attack on workers’ rights puts us in the uncomfortable position of being like Russia, Hungary, and Belarus.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 We need independence to protect workers from Westminster governments they didn’t elect.

📻 Here’s what I had to say on #BBCGMS earlier.

[Mike Robb @mgrobb]

One for the @theSNP cheerleaders who keep saying Labour isn’t on the side of trade unions….

[Fire Brigades Union @fbunational]

NEW | 🚨

"Labour will ask Parliament to repeal these vindictive [anti-union] laws within 100 days of entering office!

"No ifs, not buts, we will see Minimum Service Levels out as one of our first acts in Government"

Labour's Deputy Leader @AngelaRayner at FBU Conference today.

[Mike Robb @mgrobb]

@ayemky good idea

[Mike Robb @mgrobb]

@ayemky We’ll we could get into all the nuances of what is/isn’t a coalition but I see how you see it. Local government under STV is a vipers nest A lot of this reflects bad history between Lab & SNP groups since 2017. Not sure how many people actually care so long as bins get emptied

[Mike Robb @mgrobb]

@ayemky I really don’t….

[Mike Robb @mgrobb]

@ayemky Which councils?

[Ian Murray MP @IanMurrayMP]

In my @edinburghpaper article this week, I have written about the NHS staffing crisis and its roots in SNP mismanagement.

We need to listen to our key workers to come up with a viable long term solution that works for staff and for patients.

@TPEassist @TPExpressTrains Thanks Kim. Would have been nice if that info was available at Piccadilly. Is the Delay Repay automatic or do I need to submit a claim?

[Mike Robb @mgrobb]

Shocking service from @TPExpressTrains Booked on 1222 Manchester Piccadilly to Edinburgh but arrived at station to find it cancelled. No reason. No txt or email. Now making our way via Preston and Glasgow with no help from @TPEassist
