So deeply disappointing from Keir Starmer. Many @ScottishLabour MSPs fought hard for this legislation. Their amendments were accepted in its passage. He’s now attacking liberal legislation and the motives of its authors to appease right wing culture warriors outwith his party. — PolitiTweet.org

As the UK send tanks to #Ukraine a reminder of what that great military strategist Boris Johnson had to say about tanks as Russia was poised to invade… “We have to recognise that the old concepts of fighting big tank battles on European land mass are over.” — PolitiTweet.org

Normally find Dominic Grieve a thoughtful voice on politics and the law. But it’s absurd to say @theSNP is “manufacturing a grievance” when it defends Holyrood and Scottish democracy from UK Government attack. #r4today — PolitiTweet.org

Personally, think if I noticed “internal bleeding” I’d be off to A & E. At the very least I’d contact my GP immediately. Not sure it’s wise for politicians with no medical training to discourage the public from seeking urgent medical help for potentially serious conditions. — PolitiTweet.org

JOHN NICOLSON M.P. @MrJohnNicolson

How very depressing. Yet another retreat from the liberal values which seemed to guide Keir Starmer’s pre-leadership career. In any event, setting aside the issue, he should be outraged that the UK Tory Government is trying to undermine Scottish parliamentary democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

These articles comes round every year! I’d choose ‘Freedom Come-All-Ye’ by Hamish Henderson for its poetry & and internationalism. But ‘Auld Lang Syne’ is already internationally known. So we’d instantly have one of the world’s most famous anthems as a newly independent country. — PolitiTweet.org

The unedited version changes nothing. The Home Secretary was asked by a Holocaust survivor to explain why she uses poisonous language about asylum seekers like “swarm” & “invasion” - language the Holocaust survivor finds distressing for obvious reasons. https://t.co/EB4XrfX4UK — PolitiTweet.org

A Holocaust survivor confronts #SuellaBraverman and asks her to justify the use of poisonous language about asylum seekers like "swarms" and "an invasion". Ms Braverman's response shows a cruel chasm of coldness where empathy should be. — PolitiTweet.org

@niqalnryt It's not a virility test. The fewer nuclear weapons the better. And no, I don't want them on our soil. The Swedes feel the same, as do the Finns. — PolitiTweet.org

@KennyLow15 I'm (now) a politician. It's really not necessary to talk like this. I hope I don't. — PolitiTweet.org

He just can't answer a straight question but reverts to that weird "what people are telling me" cliche. — PolitiTweet.org

JOHN NICOLSON M.P. @MrJohnNicolson

Interesting indeed. I joined an all party parliamentary trip to #Helsinki recently. Finnish politicians confirmed that #NATO negotiators had, at no point, required #Finland to accept the stationing of nuclear weapons as a requirement for membership. — PolitiTweet.org

The Tory Scotland Secretary claimed in the Commons this week that "There’s no desire in Scotland to have membership of the EU”. Even by the standards of Boris Johnson post truth politics it was a corker. Fact checked by @FerretScot as 'False.' https://t.co/10tWKuUSIk — PolitiTweet.org

JOHN NICOLSON M.P. @MrJohnNicolson

Interesting piece about the blight of ugly ‘facadism’. It focuses on Spitalfields in London. But the destruction of fine buildings - leaving only facades propped up like a film set - is happening in many of our big towns and cities. Glasgow in particular. Worth a read. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you Crispin. Cross examining witnesses to shine a light on injustice (and improve legislation) is something the Committee does well. I’m proud to be a member. @CommonsDCMS — PolitiTweet.org

@bigeye54 I do, often. When I first visited with @krishgm - to interview George Mackay Brown - Stromness had a slightly tired air; PVC windows and unsympathetic shopfronts.

@Metrophonic Thank you. That’s very kind of you to say. I’m so proud of these guys. They took over under the most tragic circumstances, kept Andrew’s memory alive and built on his reputation. It’s the most extraordinary ongoing legacy. — PolitiTweet.org

‘I’m not saying Harry is as bad as Hitler…..” We were talking a bit about @GBNEWS yesterday at the Commons Culture Committee @CommonsDCMS These clips - disproportionately from angry white, right wing men - are deranged. — PolitiTweet.org
