So it turns out @shottsman7, @ScottishLabour MP for Airdrie and Shotts doesn't have an office in Scotland. For the people who need his assistance, you will be required to travel to London to see him. Shameful.

Geoffrey Barrow, in his inaugural lecture as Professor of Scottish History, University of Edinburgh, 1979: "The failure of Scotland to establish its own organisation for public service broadcasting was the greatest cultural disaster which Scotland suffered in the 20th century."
Compare the coverage this gets to Trump, Farage, etc.
🚨Footage:The moment Israeli warplanes bombed Mawasi,southern Gaza, killing dozens of displaced Palestinians. This massive attack targeted tents,NOT building
If it had happened anywhere else in the world, the media would be rushing to cover it. But because it’s #Gaza,NO one cares
From The National - Anne McLaughlin: Those attacking Nicola Sturgeon should reflect on her victories

‘Be ruthless on acting now.’ Over to @JohnSwinney it seems, but he can’t do it alone. scotsman.com/news/opinion/co…

Many of the SNP/Scottish Government’s policies in running NHS are internationally renowned as best practice. Nuffield Trust said England should copy Scotland if it wanted to improve. Wonder if independent review will be open-minded about seeking ideas?

Thames Water fined £39m after missing regulatory targets- pollution, supply, customer service.
Serial offender: Since 2010 sanctioned 99 times, fined £179m.
No penalties on directors.
Nothing will change until profit motive removed. Nationalise water

"Nor will business be alone... 78% of Labour voters say they would vote to rejoin. What is more, over half say that the issue of UK membership of the EU has ‘not been settled and should be reopened’... The pressure will be there."

✍🏼 Leader of @GlasgowCC has written to @Keir_Starmer urging him to lift the 2 child cap - a policy keeping thousands of Glaswegians in poverty.
The Prime Minister must reverse the effects of austerity. It has reduced the incomes of our citizens & stripped public services.

Speaking to @PeteWishart the Minister of State for Immigration "I wouldn't grant any powers to the Scottish Government that I wouldn't grant to Lincolnshire county council". Well that is Scotland telt! Still think we are #BetterTogether ???

BBC Scotland News hasn't tweeted the news that inward investment to Scotland last year hit a record high and was double the pace of the UK. Why? Because there's no article to tweet. The story is being suppressed. That's how it operates. We may get a token article later.

Today, Ireland is receiving its first payment under #NextGenerationEU.
€324 million in EU investments for railways, clean tech, and digitising schools.
This is happening because of Ireland’s impressive progress on its reform agenda.
Maith thú Ireland!
Wise words from @joycemcm with which I agree. No haste, please. No settling of old @theSNP grievances that have nothing to do with the present reversal. scotsman.com/news/opinion/co…

Today @TheScotsman. According to John Curtice, last week's election result was "the most disproportionate in history", in terms of the relationship between seats & votes won. And it poses dangers both for the winners, & for the losers, notably @theSNP. scotsman.com/news/opinion/co…

🤝First stop on yesterday’s Summer Recess adventure schedule was Assynt Hydro Ltd. with the Assynt Crofter’s Trust and Cllr Marianne Hutchison.
It was amazing hearing about how the project came together, through one man - John MacKenzie’s - passion and belief in it.
ALT Emma is pictured smiling with two others learning about the project. The sky is blue and it is very sunny with a loch behind them.

Do you know who this person is, being pursued by Israel like hundreds of thousands of innocent people in Gaza, forced to move from place to place? He is my friend, Professor Khamis Elessi, a Neuro & Pain Medicine Professor, Head of the EBM unit at the Medicine School, Islamic University of Gaza, and a CEBM Fellow at Oxford University, UK.
