Things I've seen on the way to @snp.org conference so far - 🐑🐄🦆🦌🐰🦢 Gorgeous journey 🚂 See you soon, Aberdeen!

School bus update 👇 As you'll hear from the clip, the Labour Administration pulled a last minute amendment out the bag which not only removed any reference to the deep concerns of parents, carers, and pupils, but is as clear as mud 🤷‍♀️ Our SNP Group will always be on the side of affected families.

The latest school transport update 🚌👇 We have tried to get these safe walking route guidelines reviewed before, but have been denied because the process was ongoing. Now these ridiculous bus cuts have been implemented, that excuse has gone. Follow the link to watch Wednesday's Full Council live.

All @snp.org AGMs should have cake - it should be in the constitution. Thanks Larkhall SNP for your hospitality 🙏😋🍰

We have submitted an urgent business request to discuss Labour’s cuts to school transport at the Executive Committee meeting this morning. We demand that Councillors have a chance to scrutinise the final details of the cuts before they are introduced - this may be the last opportunity.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse by-election is only a matter of weeks away on 5th June. 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ We need you to get involved and support @katyloudonsnp.bsky.social. 📍 The campaign hub in Hamilton is open every day: 10am-8pm Mon-Fri, 10am-6:30pm Sat/Sun. 🔍 Read more: www.snp.org/take-action

Some of the brilliant Clydesdale SNP out in Stonehouse today for the Hamilton, Larkhall & Stonehouse by-election - with @mairimcallan.bsky.social ⭐️ On 5 June vote @KatyLoudonSNP.bsky.social for a local champion who will work tirelessly for the area and always put Scotland’s interests first @snp.org

Another session almost complete for @snp.org @katyloudonsnp.bsky.social - now done. Great to speak with many folks on the #Hamilton doorsteps who are looking forward to voting for Katy

Do you know those coos are on their holidays, kids? They've got a wee calf 🥁 😂 Baby-coo spotting in Pollok with at least half the population of the central belt. Gorgeous day for it 🌞

Crochet's rapidly becoming *a thing* for my youngest just now. Good morning from my new wee pal 🐥

What a friend, support, and inspiration she was to all of us. Rest in peace, Christina, you are going to be so missed 💛

This popped into my head again tonight after *everything* in the Spring Statement, and parents in my ward learning today that 88% of weans at one school are losing their school bus thanks to the Lab/Lib Administration. An evergreen clip 🥀

This headline is misleading. Reeves has not been "forced" to find an additional £1.6 billion in cuts to benefits. She has CHOSEN to impose more cuts on benefits because she refuses to raise taxes on the wealthiest. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

If you read the news that today Labour plunged 250k people, including 50k children, into poverty, read this thread 👇 My jaw is on the floor 😔

👏 Two stunning gains for the SNP from Labour in Glasgow Southside Central, and Glasgow North East this morning. Big congratulations to Cllr Mhairi Hunter and Cllr Donna McGill, and their hard-working SNP teams on the ground!

And it's a double! Cllr Donna McGill 🥳 Glasgow North East - @snp.org gain 💛

Cllr Mhairi Hunter 🥳 The newest member of the @glasgowsnp.bsky.social group for Southside Central. Well done Mhairi and team 👏💛

Huge congratulations to Cllr Carlin! 👏💛

Fantastic SNP win - well done to Mike Carlin and our team on a stunning victory in Broxburn, Uphall and Winchburgh. 👏

Our budget will include proposals to: 🪴 Reverse Labour’s policy of charging £45 for garden waste uplifts ♻️ Reintroduce one free bulk uplift per year for every household

On Wednesday the SNP Group will present an alternative budget for South Lanarkshire. Our budget will focus on keeping council tax low, avoiding cuts to services and provide additional investment in key council areas such as Education, Roads, Social Care, Housing and Climate Sustainability.

If like me you you've forgotten to buy yourself an advent calendar, pleass consider chucking Emma a few quid and we can enjoy her pics together! (Please tell me you have Full Council coming up, Emma? 🤣)

Finally done 😅 Sending out some positive vibes from our wee corner of the world 💖

Delighted this passed and SLC's commercial waste strategy will now be reviewed hopefully leading to a more efficient system and cleaner town centres/high streets.

Today in Edinburgh, I shared my vision for Scotland’s future. ✔️ Eradicate child poverty ✔️ Grow our economy ✔️ Deliver net zero ✔️ Improve our public services This is about delivering hope, ambition and progress for everyone in Scotland.

Stars and more stars 🌟 My street decorates our windows for Christmas, and every year I manage to pick something even more footery and time-consuming. It'll be nice when it's done! P.S. there's a mat under there, I'm irresponsible enough to give the wean a craft knife, not let her cut my good rug 😉

The first thing I heard when I opened the front door was "she got baking!" Happy days 😋

Cracking wee start to the weekend - Porridge Radio sounding fantastic at Òran Mór. And you cannae beat a band who make time to chat at the merch stall 🥰

Pretty glass spotted in Maryhill whilst out campaigning for the fabulous @lornafinn.bsky.social It was worth the climb, and so is she 💛 On Thursday 21st, #Finn1 #VoteSNP

💛Teamwork Makes the Dream Work!

A very busy day of advice surgeries today - starting in Blantyre Soccer Academy’s Hub this morning then in my Rutherglen constituency office in the afternoon. Plenty of casework to be getting on with

Scotpol followers, indy peeps, here's our SNP Council group's shiny new account. Also come and say hi to SLC Councillors @andreacowansnp.bsky.social @maureenchalmers.bsky.social @rossclarksnp.bsky.social and @caldemps.bsky.social as we're all giving this Blue Sky thing a go 👋

I'm seeing a lot of craft, so here's my still pretty wonky stained glass work. I taught myself via YouTube and bloody stubbornness. This the last thing I finished, from a pattern, and the curves nearly did me in. I'm making some fish now, and will probably be finished by hogmanay at this rate 🐟🐠

Folks, if you’re finding Bluesky a bit glitchy today, be patient. This is why! There’s an absolute avalanche of new arrivals. Almost one million new users added in less than 24 hours. 🚀🔥🚀🔥

Tonight's big Loudon news is this thrawn, absolute pest of a cat has finally started eating again 🙌 There's been completely clear blood tests, painkillers, tears and snotters, the house stinks of tuna, and we're tripping over wee bowls and plates. She's had two dinners 🥳 Cat tax of Rosie below 📸

Strongly the vibe here today

Hearing this is the place where it's all happening 👋 I've found the cat pics already, so all's well 🐈‍⬛
