On the day Nicola Sturgeon announces £500 NHS thank you payment for all staff, my brother was telling his staff they will be out of a job come 24th Dec as he's closing his restaurant for good.

Hello @stephenctimms - please can you engage with us over Veterans benefits being taken away over their Armed Forces compensation awards being counted as “savings”. There is something so unbelievably cruel about that term. No injury from service/war should be referred to as such

@antonycotton @stephenctimms That's appalling. I guess if they spent the money the DWP would accuse them of deliberate deprivation of funds.

@abcdfg374256115 @FemaleScotlandV @Pabel5Pabel No, the home office under the tories open door policy introduced hoards of asylum seekers/migrants. The cuts meant Scottish councils were/are not in a position to deal with them.

@kkstuart @FemaleScotlandV @Pabel5Pabel Did the cuts also introduce hoardes of foreigners? Successive governments have done this, no point blaming the tories alone. They’re all the same.

Apparently Malcolm Offord has taken a walk round Glaswegian communities at night time, and in the East End of Glasgow. Apparently he was also gobsmacked. Good. There needs to be more Politicians who take walks round Glasgow, Dundee, Aberdeen, all over Scotland, in our most deprived communities. They need to see - first hand - what the lived experience of Scots is, and what we are dealing with on a daily, nightly and weekly basis. SNP and Labour have done this to our country. We need to Vote them out.

@PaulBrandITV You mean 65% out of 1000 people asked. Can you furnish us with the question/s asked?

EXCL: 65% of people back the assisted dying bill, just 14% oppose it, as it’s held up in the Lords. One dying man pleads with peers from his hospice bed to give him a choice. ITV News is featuring stories from both sides of the debate as time runs out. itv.com/news/2026-03-1…

@MrsMiko_ @DaveSim4285151 @newcogawaJ @scotgov If you can't be arsed looking at the bill then stay out of the debate. I'm not here to run around after you.

@kkstuart @DaveSim4285151 @newcogawaJ @scotgov Why? Do you not know what bots you’re talking about?

Honestly the @scotgov is a disgrace The same country that thinks men should share toilets with wee girls and jail cells with vulnerable women also thinks your 96 year old gran with cancer and heart failure doesn’t deserve a humane passing!

@greengiant1888 @ImFromCle There's no concrete evidence of the Highland pipe existing in Ireland. Put it this way if one goes to Edinburgh they'll hear bagpipes, if they go to Dublin they won't.

@kkstuart @ImFromCle Bagpipes came from Ireland to Scotland 🤣🤣

Who does St. Patrick's Day better than Cleveland, Ohio? 🍀

@MrsMiko_ @DaveSim4285151 @newcogawaJ @scotgov If you're posting on here, then you can read and write. I suggest you go onto the Scottish Parliament website and read the bill.

@kkstuart @DaveSim4285151 @newcogawaJ @scotgov Can you post it then please and highlight the parts about coercion? Thanks. 👍🏻

@Seansfanclub Yep seen it happen. I also also seen some groomed. No medic meeting the patient for a short time would ever pick up coercion. The public guardian is useless. Only interested if one can show evidence of financial mismanagement.

On the assisted dying bill. A lot of people mention coercion as a reason to vote no. I had a close family member who was coerced by the son and daughter he trusted and adored. Power of attorney is a bigger threat to the wellbeing of the old and sick than anything.

@DaveSim4285151 @newcogawaJ @scotgov You clearly haven't read the bill.

@kkstuart @newcogawaJ @scotgov It was only to be allowed if someone had capacity to request it themselves, suffered a terminal illness, and would have been self administered. Safeguards were in place to mitigate anything you said above. Starving and dehydrating someone to death is cruel!

@newcogawaJ @scotgov Here's the issue. No one should be killed so that relatives can save themselves from watching a loved one die. That leads to coercion, which this bill had no safeguards in place to avoid.

@kkstuart @scotgov Doesnt matter how many nurses you have watching a loved one essentially suffocate to death isn’t humane

@andrewlearmonth I stand corrected. The 14k came from The Herald but was wrong the actual figure is 4,000.

@andrewlearmonth There are over 4m voters. Only 14000 answered his consultation. He's deluded if he thinks that constitutes overwhelming support for his bill. Mr McArthur will leave with his political legacy being reaching the dizzy heights of deputy presiding officer.

“This is coming back.” Speaking to journalists in Holyrood after the defeat of his assisted dying bill, Liam McArthur says the public overwhelmingly want a change in the law.

End-of-life care needs 'urgent improvements', says Gordon Brown. news.stv.tv/politics/end-o…

@ClareAdamsonSNP We can not have a system of assisted suicide that focuses on relatives rather than the person who is dying. All those testimonials were about them and how they felt. We can see from their stories why coercion is central and would be seen in the majority of cases.

I want to explain why I voted against the Assisted Dying Bill, and share my reasons with you all.

@dignityindying Guilt is a terrible thing to live with. We were all there, day and night for our mother. Who had a peaceful, pain-free death.

Lorna Slater MSP talks movingly about her terminally ill father, describing his assisted death as "beautiful".

@dignityindying The bill failed, it won't be back on the table.

Moments ago, the Scottish Parliament voted against Liam McArthur MSP’s assisted dying Bill, by 69 to 57 with one abstention. This means that the Bill will fall and we will have to keep fighting for law change in Scotland.

Is anyone checking on @kimleadbeater ? The defeat in scotland tonight will have her stewing.

@DrCalumMiller @LoisMcLatch What has an antisemitic actor got to do with the bill?

BREAKING: Scotland's Parliament has REJECTED the bill to legalise a State Suicide Service by 69-57!!! This is a HUGE victory for life in one of the wokest countries in the world. Every human being has value. Very proud of my wife Lois who played a key role in this! @LoisMcLatch
