'No clout': Stephen Gethins rips into 'helpless' Anas Sarwar on Scottish visa

EXCLUSIVE: SNP MP Stephen Gethins has slated Anas Sarwar after he blamed the Scottish Government for the lack of a bespoke Scottish visa, saying it shows the 'branch office has no clout'

‘I’m a baroness for life’: Michelle Mone's jibe at MP shows why House of Lords reform is vital Almost half the legislation passed during this parliamentary session was first introduced in the unelected House of Lords

Westminster is outdated and archaic. With both an unelected upper chamber & unelected head of state the UK has an accountancy problem. That shows up in how we are governed - www.scotsman.com/news/opinion...

Pete Wishart seeking legal advice after Grok claims he is 'rape enabler' Pete Wishart of the SNP said he was ‘genuinely shocked’ to have been smeared with the ‘deeply distressing’ comment.

What has happened here is totally shocking and appalling. Grok has already conceded that it has been defamatory. I am fortunate that I have the agency to take them on. Imagine what they are doing to those who have no means to seek redress.

Nigel Farage's assault on human rights should reassure us. Here's why IT should come as no surprise that the latest assault on the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) is being led by Nigel Farage ...

We know the European Convention on Human Rights is doing the job it's designed to do when tinpot populists like Farage want to abolish it. It's there to protect us from the likes of him. My column on his campaign to deprive us of human rights protections.

‘The money machine is misfiring’: City blames Brexit for UK’s £20bn productivity headache Poor output since the leave vote has landed Rachel Reeves with a bigger-than-forecast budget spending gap

The UK is falling behind while the rest of Europe surges ahead. Productivity is declining, businesses are moving, and investment is decreasing. It's clear that our future lies within Europe.

"You left Europe because you wanted less boats, you have more boats. You left Europe because you wanted more investment. You have less investment."

Prime Minister Edi Rama of Albania on the UK's decision to leave the European Union.

As UK flirts with leaving European Convention on Human Rights, SNP must stand by the rule of law The quest for Scottish independence must adhere to democratic norms and Europe’s rules-based system – international recognition matters

“The Council of Europe is a lynchpin of the defence of democracy & rule of law in Europe & beyond.

To sell out one’s rights to the snake-oil salespeople who claim leaving will solve the UK’s woes is a dash to the bottom”

The UK is heading down a dangerous & isolated path in flirting with leaving the European Convention on Human Rights. There is a space for the SNP to seize the ground of multilateralism and respect for the rules based system - www.scotsman.com/news/opinion...

🚄 Brexit means Britain’s left off the map and cut off.

The EU is launching a Europe-wide high-speed rail network: 49,400 km linking every capital and major city at 250–350 km/h.

It’s the future of green travel and connection.

And we’re not on it 🙏 to #brexit.

Very sorry to hear about Ming’s passing. He was a tireless advocate for his constituents and communities across NE Fife. He was also a diligent and committed Chancellor of St Andrews Uni. He will be missed locally and nationally, thinking about his many friends & family.

The UK’s recognition of Palestine is long overdue. However, it alone it is insufficient and more needs to be done to put pressure on Israel to stop the war and find a lasting peace - www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Peter Mandelson affair shows why Labour should have stuck to historic pledge to scrap Lords More than a century ago, Labour’s manifesto pledge to abolish the House of Lords was supported by Winston Churchill, then a Liberal

At Holyrood all MSPs are ultimately accountable to the electorate. That isn’t the case at Westminster. Why Labour should do us all a favour and make good on its 115 year old manifesto commitment- www.scotsman.com/news/opinion...

Nigel Farage blamed for small boats crisis after end of asylum 'returns' deal EXCLUSIVE: The SNP say the Reform UK must own a rise in illegal immigration after the “Dublin Regulation” ended.

👏👏 At last!

Stephen Gethins SNP MP - Farage’s Brexit is behind illegal migration; Reform must own it

Under hard Brexit he & his Tory allies, the price of groceries have gone up, our energy bills have soared - & at a time of intl crisis, the UK is more isolated from its partners than ever before

The small boats crisis has been driven by Brexit. Time to stop blaming those asylum seekers desperate enough to cross channel. The punching down, from those to caused the problem must stop. Time to end the UK’s isolation in Europe and rejoin the Dublin regulations.

The SNP's @stephengethins.bsky.social says small boat crossings have "increased dramatically after Brexit".

"Instead of punching down and joining in with the victim blaming of Reform and the Conservatives, will the PM reject their isolationism and rejoin the Dublin convention...?" #PMQs

The source of the information in this article is Stephen Gethins MP, Vice President of the European Movement. Nigel Farage and Reform must own the massive increase in small boat arrivals.

There was an upsurge in small boat crossings after the UK abandoned a returns agreement with other European countries. The UK now stands alone in Western Europe in being outside that agreement. Hard Brexiteers own this problem. Time to rejoin the Dublin convention.

The rights that were gained in the post war world are under threat like never before. We already lost our rights as EU citizens, now some Westminster politicians want to take us the same way as Russia and Belarus in leaving the European Convention.
