Patrick Grady

Grateful for the chance to say some thanks & farewells before end of business in @HouseofCommons last week. It’s been a privilege to represent people in Glasgow North over the last 9 years. But for now, Caledonia is calling - so I’m going home 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #voteSNP #ge24 #independence

I warmly welcome the election of Cardinal Robert Prevost as Pope Leo XIV and look forward to his leadership of humility, grace and respect. I know the Catholic community in Scotland and around the world will be joyful tonight.

We welcome Pope Leo XIV with open arms. May his papacy be guided by love, compassion and a deep commitment to peace and justice for people and planet. Together, we ask God to give Pope Leo XIV the strength he needs to make the world a better place in his new role.

Excellent first session of the day. Teams out all across Maryhill. 🕐 Next session 2pm @ Tesco express Queen Margaret Drive

In Glasgow the SNP are working hard to undo the damage that Labour inflicted on the city. On 21st November, make your voice heard #VoteSNP #Finn1

The case for European solidarity and security cooperation was clear yesterday and vital today.

Looking good for @theSNP in several Senate races as well… 🇺🇸😎

The swing states are too close to call, but it looks like @thesnp is cleaning up everywhere else 🇺🇸 #TheOldOnesAreTheBest #EveryTime #USElection2024

Epic #EveningWith @tmbg at @SWG3glasgow & a bit of a curtain-raiser for the night to come… #FloodShow

Who knows what will happen tomorrow, but tonight #Link and the Light Dragon destroyed #Ganon the Demon King, freed Princess #Zelda and restored peace to #Hyrule #TotK #USElection2024

My family holds this country close to our hearts. I was shot and nearly killed serving the people of Arizona. So I ask my fellow patriots to reject Trump’s calls for violence and retribution. Let’s elect @KamalaHarris and put this dark chapter behind us once and for all.

Yesterday’s Wordle in 2. That’s gotta be a sign, people.

For some reason, I have been thinking about this moment a lot today. It's from John McCain in 2008 at a town hall. The woman begins to espouse conspiracy theories about Barack Obama's nationality. He immediately shuts it down. "No ma'am. He's a decent family man."

Great to join @SNPKelvin and @theSNP campaigners tonight in Partick ahead of the Partick East/Kelvindale by-election on 5 December. Cylina Porch is a fantastic candidate who will work to build on the tireless efforts of the late SNP Cllr Kenny McLean.

📢 We are absolutely thrilled to announce our candidate for the Partick/East Kelvindale by-election is Cylina Porch! Polling Day for this by-election is Thursday 5th December 🗳️

Said farewell today to Cllr Kenny McLean - a kind, passionate, stalwart. He loved representing Patrick and he loved Scotland. He gave so much to @theSNP and the cause of Scottish Independence. Rest in peace Kenny.

"My journey to the SNP began when I first saw my right hon. Friend the Member for Gordon (Alex Salmond)—he represented Banff and Buchan at the time—at a conference as part of a school trip...." Hansard, 1st June 2015 Requiem æternam dona ei, Domine

Very sad news to hear the death of former Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond. Catholics rightfully will remember the way he graciously welcomed Pope Benedict to Scotland in 2010. His warm welcome set the tone for the rest of the UK visit. God rest him.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Alex Salmond, former leader of the SNP and First Minister of Scotland, has died. His leadership brought the SNP into the mainstream and the Scottish Government. He was a titan of the independence movement. Our thoughts are with Moira and his family.

First Minister @JohnSwinney met with Bishop Hugh Gilbert of the Catholic Church of Scotland today. They discussed the importance of cohesive communities to Scotland and the way that @scotgov is supporting faith groups across Scotland.
