👀 Gone to Specsavers with our Dundee SNP candidates, Heather Anderson and Stephen Gethins.
Scotland is the only part of the UK with free eye tests and the SNP will protect them.
We will also invest in more treatment in the community and give people faster, easier access to the care they need.
Scotland is energy rich but our bills are among the highest in Europe. Labour’s alignment with Reform and the Tories over Brexit and other policies is having an impact. As independent European Ireland takes meaningful action the UK Government sits on its hands.
Lord Offord and Nigel Farage are trying to spread their poison in Scotland. I will have absolutely none of it.
We are focused on what actually matters - helping with the cost of living, improving our NHS and treating all people with dignity.
Donald Trump’s attack on the Pope is 'completely and utterly deplorable', John Swinney insisted, as he condemned again the 'illegal' attacks on Iran by the United States and Israel
Trump has demanded Pope Leo should 'stop catering to the Radical Left'
Brexit has been a disaster for business and the economy. Time to abandon this failed Tory / Reform policy. Not only is it making it hard for business but costing the taxpayer £250 million a day in lost revenue.
Today, we signed an agreement with 🇳🇴 & 🇮🇸 to join GOVSATCOM and IRIS² 🇪🇺
This is a concrete step to strengthen Europe’s security and resilience together with trusted partners.
Secure and reliable connectivity is essential for crisis response, especially in remote regions.

Scotland is among the most energy rich nations in Europe, but our bills are among the highest. Hundreds of billions paid to the Treasury with little to show in return. Westminster has failed, it’s time for Scotland to take full responsibility for energy policy with Independence.
Energy bills are estimated to soar again by £332 from July. Households cannot afford to take another hit.
I am calling on the Prime Minister to urgently convene a four nations emergency summit and freeze the price cap now.
Pleased to be able to host & facilitate a really good discussion on Russia’s shadow fleet, making sanctions more effective and the impact of the war with Iran. Thanks to @UkrEmbLondon for organising and UK, Ukrainian MPs, industry and experts participation.
Brexit is costing the UK taxpayer £250 million pounds a day, Dundee City Council’s entire annual budget squandered every 48 hours. We are all paying for Labour’s tinkering and damaging red lines
UK government’s support for oil-heated homes in Scotland falls far short, and has been painfully slow.
We are stepping in to more than double the UK Government's plan.
In an energy-rich nation, nobody should struggle to heat their home and the UK government must do more.

Over the past few weeks I put down a series of questions about when Mandelson left the FCDO. We now know the FCDO knew the answer. We also know that Mandelson was given a special pay-off of £75,000(!), mostly untaxed. Time for the cover up to end.
A secret Whitehall memo called out in the Welsh Senedd yesterday shows Labour embracing the Conservatives’ muscular unionism. Time for Westminster to abandon its over centralisation and show that they will respect the wishes of the electorate in Scotland & Wales.
You taken Reform by setting out a clear alternative and vision. Voters deserve to know what you are for rather than simply what you are against. Some lessons from both sides of the border this week - www.scotsman.com/news/opinion...
Stephen Gethins MP is right - it has been reported that the majority of the public want to rejoin the EU, and it’s time for the Government to listen. Our future lies in Europe, not just aligning with them.
Stephen Gethins MP (Arbroath and Broughty Ferry, Scottish National Party)
Nigel Farage MP (Clacton, Reform UK)
Come back at 12 midday next week to watch live.
SNP MP @stephengethins.bsky.social: "Even the embarrassingly loyal Scottish Labour Party seem to have lost confidence in the Prime Minister...please don't let that put you off coming and campaigning in Scotland..." #PMQS
The EU played a significant role in the development of the Good Friday Agreement, and the European Parliament have reported that Northern Ireland is the part of the UK most distinctly affected by Brexit, despite the majority of the public voting to remain.
🇪🇺 Stephen Gethin MP: "Ukraine, Moldova and others see their future in Europe. Why on earth doesn't the UK"
"80% of our young people, 16 to 24 year olds want to rejoin, Customs Union, they want to rejoin."
"75% of Scots want to rejoin because this has been a failure"
Stephen Gethins MP: Leaving EU “has failed British public”
"It is no surprise that those who shouted the loudest about the benefits of leaving the EU a decade ago are the quietest on its effects now"

Today saw Westminster Hall full with MPs ready to debate Stephen Gethins MP's debate on the impact of the 2016 EU referendum on the UK. Thanks to the 11,000 of you who wrote to your MP to urge them to attend, the debate proved one important thing - we are winning the argument.
Not only is today the day that the debate organised by Stephen Gethins MP on the ‘Impact of the 2016 EU membership referendum on the UK’ will be held in Parliament, but it also marks 4 years since Russia’s full-scale invasion on Ukraine. This reminds us how important it is to work with Europe.
Seems like a good day to debate the Brexit debacle
- 10 years on we are poorer and less secure
- No one followed the UK out and more countries now want to join
- As Ukraine marks 4 years since the full scale invasion fighting for its right for a European future
🇺🇦 🇪🇺 🏴
Tomorrow, 24 February 2026, from 4:30pm until 5:30pm, Parliament will be debating the Impact of the 2016 EU membership referendum on the UK organised by Stephen Gethins MP (shown). Over 11,000 of you have written to your MPs to urge them to attend - it's going to be a lively one.
Last week, we launched a Write to MP campaign, asking everyone to urge their MP to attend the Westminster Hall debate tomorrow on the 'Impact of the 2016 EU membership referendum on the UK', organised by Stephen Gethins MP. In just 4 days, over 11,000 letters have been delivered to 607 MPs.
Very good to see a UK Parliament debate on the importance of our relationship with #OurEU and the damage caused by #BrexitBreaksBritain being organised by Scottish MP Stephen Gethins, the SNP Spokesperson for International Affairs. #LeaveALightOn #RejoinEU
Thanks to @mikegalsworthy.bsky.social for his call to MPs to attend my debate on ten years since the Brexit Referendum on Tuesday next week. Have a listen 👇
Brexit is costing the UK £90 billion a year in lost tax revenues. £250 million a day. That is Dundee City Council’s entire budget lost to this waste every 48 hours
