🏴 The Scottish Parliament has agreed that Scotland is a nation with the right to determine its own future.
‼️ It is now time for the PM to meet with the First Minister and agree a mechanism that allows the people of Scotland to choose that future through a referendum.

This is a hugely significant moment. For the first time since 2014, Scottish Labour accept Scotland’s right to decide our own future, just as the Prime Minister has.
We now need to turn that principle into an opportunity for people to make their voice heard.
The new leader of Scottish Labour says he is backing the right for Scotland to decide its own future.

Michael Marra told STV: "I believe that the people of Scotland have the right to decide their future, and they did so in 2014." He added that in 1997 they gave an unequivocal answer on both occasions.

PS - when do England and Wales get their free eye tests?

Scotland is a nation, and we have the right to decide our own future.
On Tuesday, I’ll ask MSPs in the Scottish Parliament to back that simple principle.
Whatever your view on independence, that should be something we can all agree on.
"Vote No for lower shopping bills" was a real promise made by the anti-independence campaign in 2014.
Aged like milk.

“It was historic”
@CalumAM asks SNP National Secretary @AlexKerrSNP his thoughts on Monday’s summit of First Ministers in Cardiff.
Did it have gravitas?... Or was it political theatre?

🥀 Labour promised £200 million for Grangemouth, but still haven't delivered a penny.
❌ Despite welcoming renewables investment in England, Westminster blocked it in Scotland.
🚨 While 1,000 energy jobs are lost every month.
🏴 Scotland's energy should be in Scotland's hands.
🤝 Leaders of Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales have signed memorandum on independence to work together.
All nations should have a choice over their future.
ALT Joint statement by Plaid Cymru, SNP, and Sinn Féin calling for cooperation among Scotland, Wales, and Ireland to build a stronger future through democratic means.
We don't hear much from Better Together these days.
Their £1,400 "Union dividend" from 2014 has been wiped out by Brexit, which is costing everyone in Scotland £3,000 a year.
Even though Scotland said "no thanks" to Brexit.

Holyrood’s new fiscal literacy programme is all about ensuring MSPs have confidence in understanding Scotland’s public finances.
It will better equip MSPs to scrutinise budgets, challenge evidence, explain trade-offs and focus attention on outcomes for the people of Scotland.
On Monday, almost 70 MSPs – both new and re-elected members - attended the first session in the programme, organised jointly by @SPICe_Research and @OECD
We also had expert input from @AuditScotland @scotfisccomm and @Strath_FAI
The next session will be in November.

The first phase of the new-look George Square is looking beautiful today - and it’s fantastic to see so many families enjoying the space as part of the reopening street play event!
The next phases will include lots more green and natural spaces, new benches and granite paving.
