A lot of friends of mine on here analysing and mocking the weekend currency plan. Fair enough up to a point but, in truth, it isn’t necessary. There is not going to be another referendum. It’s over. Even the SNP privately realise that.

Grey skies but hopeful spirits as @D_G_Alexander and I welcomed @LukePollard to the Methil yard. We heard about the investment in staff, apprenticeships and facilities since @Navantia_UK took on the yard, and the opportunities for further expansion with Programme Euston.

Thank you @RichardBakerMP for both the warm (!) welcome and for all your tireless work advocating & campaigning for the Methil Yard. As a U.K. Labour Government we helped save the yard so it’s great to see its revival.

In my first act of Remembrance his year, I was proud to lay a pre match wreath for the fallen at @RangersFC. At a time when the shadow of war looms large over Europe again, giving thanks to those who secured our peace seems more poignant than ever in my lifetime. #LestWeForget

Here in Scotland the Jackdaw decision has been widely welcomed as good for our economy, good for our energy security, & compatible with our climate goals.

I endorse this message 🇨🇦
Canadian PM Mark Carney: The president of the United States is under no illusions. It's absolutely clear where I stand, where Canada stands, where Canadians stand. We will never be the 51st state. We are going our own way. We're preparing, we're strong, and we're getting stronger.

Scotland’s Oil. Rosebank has 300 million barrels of oil and Claire Ridge has 640 million barrels. The UK doesn’t have the refining capacity. The Labour government shut down Grangemouth.

Today I made what was meant to be a light-hearted self-deprecating remark. I didn’t get it right and it hasn’t come off as I intended. I fully support our Home Secretary and the government’s position on migration reform. As I said earlier this week, it’s absolutely right that people should have to make a contribution to this country in order to earn citizenship.

The Secretary of State for Scotland said: "This decision to approve Jackdaw is a win for Aberdeen, a win for Scottish workers and a win for Britain’s energy security. The North East has helped power the country for half a century, and will continue to do so for decades to come."

Canada Holds the Line: Prime Minister Carney Stays Firm as Trump Calls Under Midterm Pressure- Prime Minister Carney and Trump held a lengthy phone call this morning to tackle pressing trade issues. The timing of the call is highly critical, with the U.S. midterm elections just weeks away. This upcoming vote puts immense pressure on the American administration, making the president’s sudden outreach look like a move to lock down a deal. Observers note that control of Congress and the Senate are at stake, which could completely reshape the president's political agenda and future trade negotiations. ...despite the intense urgency coming from Washington, Canada is refusing to back down. Canadian leadership has established a rock-solid stance, making it perfectly clear that they will NOT be rushed into a bad agreement. In fact, Ottawa has already stated that if the deal does not directly benefit Canadians, they are fully prepared to walk away from the table entirely once again. The president initiating this 'long' discussion highlights just how much pressure his administration feels as election day closes in. Apparently, while both leaders covered several key trade topics, Canada’s refusal to budge shows that our government holds the REAL leverage. This conversation perfectly highlights Canada's strong, patient approach to protecting its economic independence against a rushed American administration. Canada and Canadians will come first in this. 🇨🇦 We have the right government to put us ahead of anything else. Especially this administration. Stay strong, Canada. 🇨🇦 #canpoli #cdnpoly #Midterms #Canada #MAGA #Republicans #trump

This is how today’s Jackdaw decision will supply gas to homes and businesses while continuing on our path to net zero. @Miatsf explains ⬇️

Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.
