🧑🏫 In Scotland, there are proportionally more teachers than anywhere else in the UK.
🏴 Under the SNP, education spending is higher than elsewhere in the UK.
🎓 We scrapped tuition fees - and a record number of 18 year olds from deprived areas are going to university. #bbcqt

Day after day, in so many ways, the reality of the Brexit disaster becomes clearer. The public are so far ahead of the politicians on this one. This from @bbcdebatenight on the care sector in Scotland
"We have lost thousands of frontline staff...because of Brexit and an immovable visa system and immigration system from Westminster”
@DrDMacaskill says Brexit has led to “bleeding”staff numbers and greater pressures on healthcare

🤷 Anas Sarwar said he wouldn't be making "any pacts, deals or coalitions".
👉 And yet, he's happy for Labour to work with the Tories across Scotland's councils - a party that crashed the UK economy and made us all poorer.
🥀 Vote Labour, get Tory. #FMQs

House of Commons Library confirmed to me today, that using 2016 Scotland Act, a simple majority of MSPs can cause an EARLY HOLYROOD ELECTION in 2023 - for independence.
So no need for First Minister to resign, or 2/3rds majority of MSPs
#Use2016ScotlandAct
- more tomorrow.

Apparently, today, the person in charge of Scotland repeatedly refused to say whether she considered a double rapist "a man or a woman" because she didn't have "enough information".
True enough, it's hard to be absolutely certain until you see his face.

It’s Thursday. It’s @CommonsLeader business questions. This week the SNP have suggested Scotland needs a ‘Brexit lifeboat’ to rescue them. I think not.

Pardon my Irish but why the feck are the NHS in Scotland using the term “people who menstruate” in their guidance on periods?
Women have periods. Men (or indeed any other “people”) do not.
Using this debasing language does nothing more than reduce women to body parts.

UK’s decline. By the end of next year average British family will be poorer than the average Slovenian one. By end of decade the average British family will be poorer than the average Polish one. Why would Scotland stay? On the way to strategic irrelevance.

One thing I've been meaning to say for some time: everyone interested in better public policy in Scotland owes a significant thank you to the @mbmpolicy collective. In recent years they have done much work that ought to have been done by parliamentarians.

I just want to say that @NicolaSturgeon is incredible. Leagues ahead of any British Prime Minister during her time in office. Seen them all off - and she’ll do it again with this bunch. Lots Credit to Scotland 🏴

Let’s listen to former prison governor @HotchkissRhona speaking about life for vulnerable women accommodated with transgender prisoners in Scotland. This is lived experience not transphobia or any other phobia for that matter.
