Interesting that Humza #Yousaf uses his speech at an #independence rally to concentrate on the "national tragedy" of #Brexit. The #SNP seems to be the only party in #Scotland calling for rejoining the #EU and being honest about the cost of Brexit. With the #RutherglenAndHamiltonWest #byelection coming up, is he emphasing differences with the rival #Labour party, who worry that being pro-EU will be bad for them in England?

One of my questions to any candidates in the #RutherglenandHamiltonWest by-election who might knock my door will be "Are you in favour of air pollution?"

On #Sunday, I led #prayers in #church that about the upcoming #RutherglenandHamiltonWest by election (which includes my #Cambuslang parish), saying "we ask that the debates would be civil". So it's disappointing that a senior #UK #politician would use language like this, and that his leadership appears to justify it. I hope for better from the local candidates

It has just been announced on the #bbc - no doubt a mention that provoke a response from #vigilantes ! - that there will be a #byelection in #rutherglenandhamiltonwest as a result of a valid #recall #petition . The date will be set next month when #parliament reassembles. This means not until October at the earliest. This means also that new #voterIDrequirements for parliamentary elections will be in force - as it seems they were not in July!
