A gardening accident…

The best part of two decades on from the SNP promise to replace the council tax, they have barely moved an inch forward. Ministers have come and gone, claiming that they wanted to listen to other parties' proposals, without ever proposing a serious way forward.

Goooood Morrrrning! A glorious sunrise before the storm ahead. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to speak with me this week. #election #scotlibdems

Alan Reid will be solid champion for Argyll and Bute in the Scottish Parliament. I have witnessed first hand his excellent work on behalf of constituents. #Scotlibdems #election

The replacement of the SQA with a new body, Qualifications Scotland, was supposed to address the disjointed transition from the earlier years of secondary school into preparation for qualifications. I asked questions at the education committee about whether this is working in practice.

The EIS teachers union has announced strikes over its dispute with the SNP government and COSLA regarding teacher's class contact time. The SNP promised a reduction of ninety minutes per week in 2021 but ministers have failed to deliver.

When people and businesses in Cupar were flooded during Storm Gerrit I secured financial support from the government. Since then I have worked on measures to try to prevent it happening again. That is the kind of work I have done and would continue if I am re-elected.

The SNP promised in its 2021 manifesto to create an exchange programme to replace Erasmus scheme, which the UK left as a result of Brexit, but they failed to deliver anything more than a pilot scheme.

I visited the new Tiny Gym pod in St Andrews with the company's founder Mike to see his concept in action. Tiny Gyms provide self-service private exercise spaces for people who feel intimidated by traditional public gyms. 1/2

We need pragmatic action to tackle the housing emergency, but the SNP's proposals risk being a subsidy for people who can already afford to buy their own home rather than a targeted measure to support those who can't, like a previous government scheme which was abandoned.

Leader Jeffries (D-NY) is correct MAGA Republicans are terrified of direct democracy. They draw maps in dark, smoke filled rooms in the dead of night never asking voters to weigh in. Democrats bring the referendum to the people and the voters in Virginia have now spoken. FAFO‼️
