A great turnout today to say farewell to one of the very best people, Allan Angus. Allan was an @theSNP stalwart, dancer extraordinaire and an all round good guy. All the best Allan and I hope that there is MacAllan on tap and ceilidh dancing galore wherever you are.

So sad that this @theSNP legend and my dear friend - one of my favourite people in the world - has left us. Allan Angus lit up every room and always made me smile. Despite his frailty, he was determined to be at our conference last year & I’m so glad he made it. I’ll miss him 💛

So sorry to hear that Allan Angus, one of the best people, SNP legend and dancing superstar has sadly passed away. Allan was loved by all, was a mentor to many and was always there to give folk a helping hand. He will be missed by so, so many.

As many are saying from across the political divide, the use of a s35 order is outrageous & a political decision. The GRR bill has overwhelmingly support from members of all parties & we will take whatever steps we can to ensure the democratic will of the @ScotParl is respected.

Nicola Sturgeon@NicolaSturgeon·
Summary of my views on UK gov attempt to veto @ScotParl decisions - covers both the attempt to block this particular piece of legislation (passed by a substantial majority, inc MSPs from all parties) and the very significant wider issue of principle .
Channel 4 News@Channel4News

"It will be using trans people... as a political weapon." First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon says it would be an "outrage" if the UK government blocks the Scottish gender recognition bill, and will "embolden them" to block more bills, creating a "very slippery slope".

This is a full-frontal attack on our democratically elected Scottish Parliament and it's ability to make it's own decisions on devolved matters. @scotgov will defend the legislation & stand up for Scotland’s Parliament. If this Westminster veto succeeds, it will be first of many
Philip Sim@BBCPhilipSim

Scottish Secretary says UKgov is using a S35 order to block a Holyrood bill (for the first time) due to concerns that the gender reforms would have “an adverse impact on the operation of Great Britain-wide equalities legislation”

Reminder ambulance strikes today are in England & Wales only, not in Scotland. If you have medical emergency then do call 999. If not an emergency but you need medical advice then you can call your GP, NHS 24, Pharmacy First and other avenues available to provide support & advice

I am delighted that Unite & Unison members have agreed to accept our record pay offer for NHS staff. I am grateful for the positive engagement that has taken place with our trade union colleagues, which has so far averted strike action in our NHS in Scotland.

Support for indy is up 6 points compared with our May poll – 56% would vote Yes and 44% No in an immediate referendum. Question is whether this turns out to be a temporary bounce in the wake of the recent Supreme Court decision or a longer-lasting trend (4/9)
