Today is British IP Day and I will be hosting our annual APPG reception this evening in the Commons as Chair of the group. IP underpins so much of our industry and creative sectors and gives value to our ideas and imagination. Here’s a piece I wrote on the work of the group. https://t.co/x0G2TuHEx6

In #PMQs I ask the the Deputy PM to look into the inner recesses of his soul to condemn the grotesque painting over of a children’s mural in a detention centre. The lack of compassion in his response is simply staggering. https://t.co/RiAfGzR9Mf

Up to 18 votes in the House of Commons. That will mean a possible 3 hours of going round in circles doing absolutely nothing. To toxic add just plain weird…..

What a lovely article. When confronted with the current day Springsteen you simultaneously get the 26 old kid who was born to run combined with the legend. We didn’t expect to have our heroes around in their 70s. Thank goodness they’re still here. https://t.co/Dwxvr5p06z

I actually think there’s quite a lot in the Tory plans but how they think we can seriously address all our drugs issues without considering everything in the round based on best evidence is simply naive. We have to change the culture and end the futile criminalising war on drugs https://t.co/BCnfEKmGL3

Here is the Scottish Affairs Committee report of 2019. It was the most extensive inquiry ever conducted into drug use in Scotland. We spoke to all stake holders and visited many countries to look at international examples. It recommended decriminalisation

A few years ago the Scottish Affairs Committee conducted what was the most extensive inquiry ever into Scotland’s drugs issues. It was evidence based looking at international examples. This is roughly what we concluded and what needs to be done to effectively tackle our problems https://t.co/HX3hYgV442

Last year Perth experienced dreadful flooding in Craigie. I hosted a public meeting to see what could be done to alleviate the problem and a series of measures are now proposed. Next week I’ll bring the community together again to consider the proposals https://t.co/KRpOZ6HXIk

Following the fatal shooting in Skye last year the Scottish Affairs Committee conducted a short inquiry into firearms legislation. We’re really pleased that the UK Government will now consult on a number of our recommendations. https://t.co/lzxTaBQK8a

This is the reality of the toxic culture at Westminster. I was really proud to sit on the working group that created the Independent Grievance and Complaints Scheme but it is clear that so much more needs to be done. https://t.co/hKSgIoSanP

My full exchange with the Prime Minister yesterday on devolution issues. He will go down as the Prime Minister who broke devolution, something which he clearly doesn’t even understand or seem to care about. https://t.co/IcIF60Q1Si

Sunak came to the Liaison Committee spouting the rubbish that Scotland has the ‘most powerful’ devolved assembly in the world. When in reality his Government is breaking devolution and overturning democratic decisions of our Scottish Parliament. https://t.co/zjpEDMhUqr

I will be seeking the nomination for the new Perth and Kinross-shire Constituency. Perth is the only part of Scotland that has had continuous SNP representation in both Parliaments since 1995. I intend to keep it that way. https://t.co/hbYxRKqmDN

Great tributes to Craig Brown. Will never forget when I got him down to support my debate in Westminster against the Olympic team GB proposal with all the implications for the independence of our national football team. He was Scotland through and through.

Nearly everything I have said we should do has now been adopted in our new approach to independence. We will now take the matter into our own hands. If the Scottish people vote for the SNP at the next election that means we have voted for independence.

Hoping to present this today. The UK Government has said they will refuse to agree a process to settle the future of our country. It's time to believe them. We must take the process into our own hands. A 'rolling de facto' should be the way forward.

With the cast after an amazing evening at the Stamping Ground at Perth Concert Hall. Such an incredible interpretation of Runrig’s songs. Never thought that I could hear these songs in such a powerful and emotional way. Brilliant. Go see if you can. https://t.co/awKxmMzRme

It was with great sadness I informed the House of Commons of the death of Winnie Ewing. To us in the SNP she was a true political giant. A friend, a mentor and inspiration. We will not see her likes again. https://t.co/o0OhArLpSC

I have been fighting for justice for those affected by contaminated blood for over 2 decades and have lost constituents over that period. The prevarication must stop and all victims and their families compensated now. I hope to speak in the debate later.

Another clip from the Privileges debate. ‘The SNP doesn’t share the dewy eyed reverence of the House of Commons but we believe in democracy, truth and accountability. Johnson should never be let back into our public life’. https://t.co/elf2G7gEDL

Every feature of Brexit has been an utter disaster for musicians from the UK as it is for those from the EU seeking to tour here. It increases costs & makes touring across a continent more difficult. Any Brexiteer is welcome to try and say otherwise here https://t.co/GOuZbRsqYw

I’m not entirely sure there will be an opportunity to put this case to our convention on Saturday or even what is down to be debated, but I hope this idea gets a look in. A ‘rolling de facto’ referendum. We keep this in place till they agree a process. https://t.co/azcDQ6rOFi

Interesting piece. If Labour win they will have to deal with the fact that half of Scotland wants to be independent. The pre 2015 old hard unionist determinism won't work. it's up to a new generation to find an accomodation. https://t.co/Z4Vhiumv8q

They simply can not bring themselves to vote for Johnson to be punished for his lies and his refusal to accept any responsibility. Abstention really means they believe he is innocent. This is the Tories. https://t.co/S4UpcR4On9

Now everyone can see the full scale and horror of Johnson's repeated lies and contempt for democracy. The question now is why on earth did the Conservative Party put up with this and allow him to dominate our public life for so long?

It’s really hard to believe that the UK is so sensitive and fragile that Scottish Government Ministers saying that Scotland has an ‘issue’ with Brexit could seek a letter of reprimand and an almighty falling out. Most Scots have an ‘issue’ with Brexit. https://t.co/8sQnOXg4rX
