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!

๐ Only 9 of the world's 200 or so countries allow greyhound racing. I'm pleased as of this week Scotland and Wales have removed ourselves from that list (and Aotearoa / New Zealand are in the process of doing the same)
๐ฆด The speed of a greyhound is an impressive sight but they're such delicate creatures with thin skin and easily breakable bones.
๐พ That face when your athletic career is over before it's even begun.
๐ 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.
๐ผ It's budget day in South Lanarkshire!
๐ Watch live at 10am as your SNP Group co-present a budget that all of South Lanarkshire can be proud of.
I am proud to have been involved in this process from the beginning. Full details will be available publicly tomorrow but I know this is a budget that will deliver for my constituents and people across South Lan.
Further proof that the UK government is technologically illiterate.
Get yourself down to Bothwell Community Hub today for the Christmas Market. Great gift shopping, mulled wine, and the all-important raffle!

Sid spoke of his experience, his continuing worries despite a ceasefire, and proposed a motion on behalf of Scottish Asians for Independence, which passed by acclaim, calling for a change to procurement rules to prevent the purchase of goods or services linked to illegal settlements.

Personally, I'm proud that on a number of occasions I have stood up to Labour as they take decisions in SLC that make working conditions worse for our thousands of employees that deliver vital services across South Lanarkshire.
Despite Westminster controlling employment legislation, it's the SNP that has took up the mantle as the party of working people. It is the SNP who are delivering what workers are asking for in the Scottish Parliament and in the councils we control.

๐ The guidance used to assess โsafeโ walking routes to school is over 20yrs old and not fit for purpose โ it doesn't even require a pavement.
โ Labour have used that document to remove school transport from over 8,000 kids.
๐ก Today we brought a motion requesting a local review.
๐ฅ They blocked it.
And why is my "neutral expression" so angry ๐
Renewing a driving license online:

Renewing a DL by post because the online system doesn't work:

+ ยฃ2.13 postal order fee

Why is the UK Government so technologically illiterate and why does it make a ยฃ14 application ยฃ31?
We have submitted an urgent business request to discuss Labourโs cuts to school transport at the Executive Committee meeting this morning.
We demand that Councillors have a chance to scrutinise the final details of the cuts before they are introduced - this may be the last opportunity.

I really appreciate the effort that went into the alt text.

Extremely disappointed to see Labour effectively fabricating figures and quoting me as a source. When my (simple, full election, not a by-election prediction) model had Labour narrowly ahead of the SNP, I was not yet showing Reform figures. I have never published anything with these exact figures.

Only annoyance is that there's no IF statements in Apple Shortcuts so my work phone line on/off can't be one button.
