Bizarre event in George Square, with demonstrators confused whether they were campaigning to 'free' #Scotland or #Palestine.
None more bizarre than the kilted man sitting with his legs splayed. To our great relief, we could see he was NOT a 'real Scotsman'!
Your periodic reminder that England, a windswept nation with more potential for onshore wind power than almost anywhere else in the world (other than Scotland), banned new onshore wind farms in 2017.
NEW: A Holyrood committee has unanimously agreed to progress a proposed law banning protests outside of abortion clinics in Scotland.
🗣 'Everyone should be able to access healthcare free from intimidation or harassment'
NEW: A floating wind farm off the Aberdeenshire coast has been granted approval and is set to become the largest in Europe.
🗣“Scotland is one of the best places in the world to develop offshore wind"

Just back home in Northern Ireland after being in Westminster Abbey for the Coronation. What a privilege to be there. So proud to be British. I found the public affirmation of allegiance very moving. This art work on the Shankill Road in Belfast is brilliant #GodSaveKingCharles
Great to see our Caribbean friends in town for the #Coronation@FCDOGovUK Minister @DavidRutley with the Prime Ministers of Antigua & Barbuda, Grenada and Saint Kitts & Nevis
