Every 6 hours in Scotland, someone dies of a preventable drug related death. We have the worst drug death rate in Europe & without action it will only get worse. That's why I have launched my Bill consultation in @ScotParl to establish Overdose Prevention Centres. Watch 👇👇

This recess I'll be out in the community, talking to constituents and trying to help with any problems you may have. One example I'm keen to see addressed is the disused asbestos factory at Petershill Road - which has been abandoned and left to pose a risk to the community. If there are any other local issues you want to discuss, don't hesitate to reach out📲

Casework win 👏 Constituents recently voiced concerns over poor road maintenance in Springburn. After intervention from my office, Glasgow City Council confirmed that the roads will be addressed and repaired in upcoming resurfacing programmes. If you have any local issues or concerns, please get in touch: 📧 paul.sweeney.msp@parliament.scot 💻 pauljsweeney.com/contact 📱0131 348 6388

Inevitable. How did this bid from Mcgills to build buses in Falkirk (this time) for nearly 20k less in public money, lose out to the First Bus bid to buy them in China? @StephenFlynnSNP worth getting a proper answer back from your officials on those questions.

McGill’s Buses has launched a multi-million pound legal action against the Scottish Government and Transport Scotland. The appeal has been submitted to the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) following the rejection of McGill's £4.3 million funding bid 👇

Laurie Macfarlane@L__Macfarlane·
The 2016 sale of ARM to Japan’s SoftBank was a prime example of how the UK’s laid back approach to foreign takeovers has harmed economic sovereignty. We handed over one of our most strategic tech firms with barely any scrutiny. So short sighted.

Here’s how Andy Burnham can finance a reindustrialised Britain. The Netherlands has shown that it is possible to borrow to finance public corporations without the bond markets cutting up rough, provided the borrowing is against a reliable revenue stream. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Standing up for Glasgow’s children should never come with the threat of financial ruin. The SNP abandoned plans to cut 450 teachers after a huge public campaign. Now they’re pursuing those same campaigners through the courts. They should think again and stop these proceedings.

Officials had said the destroyers would retire without life extension. A written answer now says transition planning will determine whether one happens. Click image for more. ukdefencejournal.org.uk/type-45-destro…

In 1966 British Rail proposed demolishing St Pancras station John Betjeman stood on the steps and gave a speech that saved it St Pancras is now a Grade I listed building and one of the most visited landmarks in London The courage of one man saved Britains finest Victorian station

Current focus on Manchesterism provides opportunity for renewed thinking re devolution, including re devolved regions. I am quoted in this FT piece stating that devolving powers is one thing, but it is the underlying incentivisation that drives outcomes ft.com/content/66c5fd…

Andy Burnham's backed a land value tax for 16 years. This Sunday we'll be publishing an analysis of how an LVT would work in practice. Plus a model that lets you design an LVT and answer the key questions: Who'd win? Who'd lose? And the big question: can it be done at all?

In the light of an £18 billion a year automatic uplift in welfare, I'd suggest we don't have to choose between properly funded research and a vital strategic industry. We can't be naive globalists now. Thinking "Steel comes on ships" is like "Food comes from the supermarket"
Andrew Griffith MP@griffitha

You are Prime Minister. Do you: (a) Invest in unbelievably good research in areas like quantum, photonics and AI in the Harwell Campus with world class facilities like the Diamond Light Source. (b) Spend £2.5 billion subsidising fundamentally unprofitable steel making?
