Six of the top ten least active MPs in Westminster represent Scottish Constituencies including three of the bottom four.
Writing questions and making contributions in parliament aren’t the only things that make a politician useful, but I would be nice if our MPs showed up!
@TPExpressTrains I’m booked on the 14:21 Manchester - Edinburgh service tomorrow but due to potential weather disruption I’m keen to get on an earlier train if possible.
Will my ticket be valid on an earlier departure of the same service? Thanks I’m advance!
Holyrood is 25 yrs old. I’m proud of it and to have been a Member for 8 years now, but we also need an honest conversation about how well, or if, it is delivering on devolved issues. Scrutiny, debate, collaboration, accountability = somewhat lacking in my view. Thoughts? Mine📺👇
Last week it emerged that the so called “Economic Leadership Group” set up by the Scottish Government some two years ago, hasn’t met.

Make of that what you will.
The problems found at Ardrossan Harbour aren’t a surprise to anyone.
When @scotgov announced vital upgrades were being “reprofiled” I tried to dig deeper into what this meant.
Bottom line: the work needs to start ASAP!
You simply cannot tax your way out of a financial black hole. The financial (and philosophical) question is at what point does the tax increase and differential put off investment, repel talent and diverge so much as to render your economy uncompetitive and unattractive?
SNP spin doctors all took the day off? 👀
WATCH as an SNP minister bizarrely tries to defend her government’s dire record on education by arguing Scotland’s school system was never world-class to begin with.
The truth is SNP incompetence has run our schools into the ground.
