It's a tale of two governments with two different sets of priorities. During this cost of living crisis we have seen the Tories make cuts that hurt the most vulnerable in our society. Scotland's power should be in Scotland's hands. Watch my full speech 👇 https://t.co/DePzewvrK1 https://t.co/ZTCQxuYZXo — PolitiTweet.org

@Iain_L @drewhendrySNP Can you name the specific powers that Holyrood has to allow this surcharge to be removed from bills then? — PolitiTweet.org

@TeeJayLittle1 @MrJohnNicolson It's a fair point well made. A better barometer than opinion polls or elections for sure. But if a random photo makes you feel better, then who am I to argue? — PolitiTweet.org

I once again raised the betrayal of the Scottish Carbon Cluster. I asked the UK Government why it has been shoved on the reserve list and also what representations have been made by the 'lightweight' Leader of the Scottish Tories. https://t.co/ALLji14Qc6 — PolitiTweet.org

@nigel__w_ @GaryE1869 As per my comment. The £0.7bn is one off fees. I have *confirmed directly* with the chief executive of Crown Estate Scotland that rental agreements are made based on the generation output. It is a better model than the E and W one and aims for job creation via supply chain. — PolitiTweet.org

Alan Brown MP @AlanBrownSNP

@GaryE1869 Yes. I slightly mistyped above. £0.7bn fees received. That's one off. Then there will be a future annual rental income for each site. — PolitiTweet.org

Alan Brown MP @AlanBrownSNP

The vast majority of households affected by the benefit cap are exempt from working, either because of disability or childcare responsibilities. This means they are trapped in poverty’s grip, without access to the vital lifelines they need to stay afloat. This is an injustice. https://t.co/JAf5kuMebG — PolitiTweet.org

This is fantastic news. New Scottish offshore projects equivalent to the current installed capacity in the whole of Europe. Unlocks billions of pounds in Scottish supply chain investment Continue to be world leading in floating offshore £0.7bn rental income to SG *Jobs* — PolitiTweet.org

@rosscmcg Interesting slant on things. — PolitiTweet.org

@Matt24Greer I was told the last game it is "game management". 😉 He certainly did to be fair, but it was also a booking when Rudden barged him for no reason. — PolitiTweet.org

Alan Brown MP @AlanBrownSNP

To be fair, probably didn't deserve to win. Had enough chances but nowhere near enough of the play. Did like the irony of @PartickThistle fans shouting "cheat" for no reason whatsoever. 😉 — PolitiTweet.org

Alan Brown MP @AlanBrownSNP

At Business Questions I raised the case of my constituent, Calum, who has dyspraxia and has been fighting with the DWP his whole life for support. He has recently lost his PIP and the handling of his case has been shambolic. I called on the Gov. to give him the help he deserves. https://t.co/z65qowyCjn — PolitiTweet.org

Alan Brown MP @AlanBrownSNP

This Tory Government has overseen the WASPI Women scandal, cuts to Universal Credit, taking money out of pensioners pockets and the cost of living crisis. Their treatment of the vulnerable is shameful and they simply do not care. Today, I asked them to address these issues. https://t.co/7R8RZJqidP — PolitiTweet.org

@Stockfttp @Minorcynic Well new nukes certainly cannot be. See above for Hinkley C. There still isn't a fully working EPR anywhere in the world either. — PolitiTweet.org

Alan Brown MP @AlanBrownSNP

@Stockfttp @Minorcynic A WPQ I have has Hinkley reactor 1 coming online late 2026 with a noted possible 15month delay. So really they are saying end of 2027. Reactor two is 9-12months behind that. Therefore likely end of 2028. Torness to close in 2028. And yes, I believe there will be more delays — PolitiTweet.org

Alan Brown MP @AlanBrownSNP

@Minorcynic 2/2 2 out of 8 existing nuclear stations now stopped. 3rd offline in July. Further 2 more in 2024. 7 out of 8 will be down before Hinkley Point C starts generating. Kinda proves we don't need nuclear. — PolitiTweet.org

Alan Brown MP @AlanBrownSNP

@Minorcynic Tidal stream can provide 10% of UK energy requirements. Between solar, wind and biomass there is always a form of minimum generation. It is dispatchable back up that is needed. Pumped storage hydro, some battery storage and hydrogen production. 1/2 — PolitiTweet.org

Alan Brown MP @AlanBrownSNP

With their degrading comments to their own party members in Scotland, I wonder what that says for the rest of us? This Tory Government will always disregard the Scottish people with contempt - it never has or will be a Union of equals. https://t.co/ksiUhZoegg — PolitiTweet.org

Alan Brown MP @AlanBrownSNP

So this morning Douglass Ross and his MSP buddies @ScotTories get to wake up to the feeling and headlines that Tory WM politicians don't care about the views of Scotland. Welcome to our club! Will they be angry or too meek as usual? — PolitiTweet.org

Alan Brown MP @AlanBrownSNP

@KillieFCSLO @spfl @williecoffeysnp @ArbroathFC @officialdafc @RaithRovers @AyrUnitedFC @Morton_FC @OfficialQosFC 100% way to guarantee fans in attendance? Play the games Monday and Tuesday like the premiership. Clubs know this and have known target dates for weeks. Be nice if restrictions lifted early but last minute begging for rule change instead of taking action is wrong route to take. — PolitiTweet.org

Alan Brown MP @AlanBrownSNP

Fair to say I have never seen so many Tory MPs looking at the floor during #PMQ . They are also so quiet they know the gig is over for Johnson. — PolitiTweet.org

Alan Brown MP @AlanBrownSNP

There is a simple solution to this @KilmarnockFC. Put game back to Mon/Tues or even Wednesday of next week. (Midweek in Glasgow easier for our fans compared to having to play Arbroath away twice on a Friday) — PolitiTweet.org

Alan Brown MP @AlanBrownSNP

Nuclear should be a thing of the past but the Tory obsession with it could cost the bill payer £63bn. Sizewell C will be a disaster and it is laughable the minister suggests we need nuclear to achieve net-zero. https://t.co/mv8A5JMihr — PolitiTweet.org

Alan Brown MP @AlanBrownSNP

I am fully against the #NuclearFinanceBill. It is nothing more than a Tory ploy which could add £63bn to our energy bills. Their nuclear obsession is not in the best interests of Scotland or its people. https://t.co/mFU7uESfdc — PolitiTweet.org
