Today I urged the Prime Minister to convey to Prime Minister Netanyahu that now is the time to step back. There must be no further escalation in the middle east.
Now is the time to recognise that both Israelis and Palestinians must live in peace, and for that we need the…

Parliament returns from recess tomorrow. It is important that the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak comes to the House of Commons and makes a statement on the situation in the Middle East. It is important that as we have done over Ukraine that we seek to build consensus and show…

Thank goodness that air defence systems limited the damage from the Iranian attacks on Israel. Iran must be universally condemned for the attack on Israel and the right of self defence of Israel clearly stands. That being said the need for leadership around the world and a desire…

It is demonstrably the case that we need to go further in supporting Ukraine and giving them the means necessary to push back any Russian offensive. The warnings are evident that Ukraine needs an enhanced capability to halt a Russian offensive.

Well, It is now. My piece last weekend. Middle East's 'shadow war' is now dangerously out in the open heraldscotland.com/politics/24236…

The world is at a very dangerous juncture and we are sleep walking to a very potentially catastrophic situation. Leadership and diplomacy are now required if we are to avoid a wider conflagration. This arises from the threat of escalation from the situation in the Middle East…

🎂 It’s the SNP’s 90th birthday today.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 From the early days when independence seemed a distant dream, to now, where our nation’s independence is within reach.

📜 Now’s the time and now’s the hour to be part of Scotland’s story.

At least from Chris Cadden’s interview we can see how he is hurting as a player. This from the manager is not acceptable. Show some leadership which from this interview is sadly lacking. Do not talk about possession. In a must win game, we lost.

👏 Big few games left for the men and women’s team this season. Go Gladiators!

I am not in the habit of agreeing with David Cameron but on Ukraine we all stand together and we must do more to support that country against the Russian attack. We speak as one. Let me though ask David to come together with us on Gaza. Let us mobilise political leaders around a…
