Smashing night in Bellshill at Steven Bonnar's candidate adoption night! Stevie's a true local guy and was the first person to welcome me into the constituency when I returned to Lanarkshire. He's represented the area on NLC and in Westminster. Let's add Holyrood to that list on May 7th! #voteSNP

🐾 That face when your athletic career is over before it's even begun. 🛑 My 40mph couch potato and I are very happy that Mark Ruskell's Bill has passed and Scotland will join the vast majority of nations around the world who have banned greyhound racing.

Get yourself down to Bothwell Community Hub today for the Christmas Market. Great gift shopping, mulled wine, and the all-important raffle!

The Ambassador was followed by Sid Khan, a Scot who was recently held in an Israeli jail following his attempt as part of an international flotilla to deliver aid to Gaza. #SNP25

🇵🇸 The UK finally recognised the State of Palestine just three weeks ago. At SNP Conference, we were privileged and honoured today to hear from the new Ambassador of Palestine to the UK, Dr Husam Zomlot. #SNP25

It was great to hear from Roz Foyer, STUC General Secretary at SNP Conference this afternoon. This is the first ever address by the Scottish Trades Union Congress to our party.

Today's life management – getting Control Centre organised on my phone. Frequent controls on page 1, then a page each for downstairs/upstairs smart tech. Only annoyance is that there's no IF statements in Apple Shortcuts so my work phone line on/off can't be one button. #tech #Apple #PhilipsHue

Sweltering day to rally for a republic on Calton Hill, Edinburgh. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿's tradition of popular sovereignty is much older than the Windsor rule of these islands. A modern, democratic nation deserves an elected head of state that represents and is answerable to us all. @ourrepublic.scot #RepublicDay

It was devastating to hear this morning that Christina McKelvie MSP had passed away. She was an absolute gem. Even when I was just some wee guy in the party, she always made every interaction feel like a real conversation, not the usual political patter. My thoughts are with Keith, Jack and Lewis.

I've been thinking about this hard and I believe the world really started turning for the worse when we stopped making swappable fascias for mobile phones.

I enjoyed getting out on the doors with Stephanie Callaghan MSP and other Uddingston and Bellshill SNP members this morning. It's vital as local representatives to hear from residents about what matters to them. #ActiveSNP

1. My name does have between 5 and 32 characters. 2. What about people with longer or shorter names? 3. The actual problem was that my name has a hyphen. The is web dev 101 and I can't stand that we're still dealing with this in 2025.

Was out for a walk in Uddingston and took a notion to stop in at the The Rowantree Inn . There's not many places these days where you can sit with a pie and a pint by an open fire. Perfect for a day like this. #supportlocal

Great points from SNP MP Seamus Logan. Scotland produces more electricity than we use & does it in the cheapest way possible – renewables. Yet the price of electricity is pegged to the most expensive way of producing it – burning gas. We could have free power at times if London changed this rule.

And another, this one from the 2024 list again. Suspect it's the app rather than separate feeds from separate producers? There may be more I haven't spotted.

@marcoarment.bsky.social loving the new listening stats (Overcast wrapped haha) Seems to be a bug with app and/or the ATP feed listing twice.

It was an honour to lay a wreath this year again at Uddingston War Memorial on behalf of the Council. This year, I wore both a Poppy Scotland red poppy with the Black Watch regimental badge, and a Peace Pledge Union white poppy.
