The Ambassador was followed by Sid Khan, a Scot who was recently held in an Israeli jail following his attempt as part of an international flotilla to deliver aid to Gaza.

It was great to hear from Roz Foyer, STUC General Secretary at SNP Conference this afternoon. This is the first ever address by the Scottish Trades Union Congress to our party.

Today's life management – getting Control Centre organised on my phone.
Frequent controls on page 1, then a page each for downstairs/upstairs smart tech.
Only annoyance is that there's no IF statements in Apple Shortcuts so my work phone line on/off can't be one button.

Sweltering day to rally for a republic on Calton Hill, Edinburgh.
🏴's tradition of popular sovereignty is much older than the Windsor rule of these islands. A modern, democratic nation deserves an elected head of state that represents and is answerable to us all.

It was devastating to hear this morning that Christina McKelvie MSP had passed away.
She was an absolute gem. Even when I was just some wee guy in the party, she always made every interaction feel like a real conversation, not the usual political patter.
My thoughts are with Keith, Jack and Lewis.

I've been thinking about this hard and I believe the world really started turning for the worse when we stopped making swappable fascias for mobile phones.

I enjoyed getting out on the doors with Stephanie Callaghan MSP and other Uddingston and Bellshill SNP members this morning.
It's vital as local representatives to hear from residents about what matters to them.

1. My name does have between 5 and 32 characters.
2. What about people with longer or shorter names?
3. The actual problem was that my name has a hyphen.
The is web dev 101 and I can't stand that we're still dealing with this in 2025.

Was out for a walk in Uddingston and took a notion to stop in at the The Rowantree Inn .
There's not many places these days where you can sit with a pie and a pint by an open fire. Perfect for a day like this.

Great points from SNP MP Seamus Logan.
Scotland produces more electricity than we use & does it in the cheapest way possible – renewables.
Yet the price of electricity is pegged to the most expensive way of producing it – burning gas.
We could have free power at times if London changed this rule.

And another, this one from the 2024 list again. Suspect it's the app rather than separate feeds from separate producers? There may be more I haven't spotted.
