    Just looking at some of the appalling comments here. I was on the Committee that day. Johnson got it wrong, knew he was wrong & refused to correct the record. There were consequences. Nazanin has every right to be angry.

    Tulip Siddiq MP says Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has told Boris Johnson "very clearly" that his words had a "big impact" on her and that she "lived in the shadow" of them for more than four years "I have to say the prime minister looked quite shocked" bbc.in/38rsTT4

    Bullying the leader of a nation under siege. Utterly grotesque.

    It has been a privilege to represent NE Fife. Congratulations to @wendychambLD on taking up what is a fantastic job. Obviously disappointed by the outcome but what a tremendous night for @theSNP across Scotland. Also so proud of our local team. Politics has changed again!

    Finally this. The SNP & Greens stood on a platform of holding a Referendum. It looks like they won. Labour, the Lib Dems & Conservatives stood on a platform of blocking one. It looks like they lost.

    I don’t have any special insights about what is going to happen in #SP21 results but just some observations by those who think @theSNP need 65 seats ‘to win’

    A family seeking refuge from war becomes a political football. The state of British politics.

    I know that it won’t have been an easy decision for Greens not to stand in NE Fife. However I am incredibly grateful to @CollinsAndyC and other local Green Party members for their support in #GeneralElection2019 - google.co.uk/amp/s/www.thec…

    If you don’t think that & prefer the Westminster system then bear this in mind. If the SNP get 63 out of 73 constituency seats that would translate as 86% of those constituency seats the equivalent to winning 559 seats out of 650 at Westminster.

    To be fair Green Party members have already been out delivering leaflets and chapping doors with me. Appreciate their efforts and those of all of our volunteers in North East Fife

    Best deal is staying in the EU, next best is single market & customs union. We are about to pay €50 billion to make things worse and cost jobs.

    Repugnant and talking of his hate of Scotland’s First Minister in the same way he hates a serial killer. Something deeply wrong with sections of the media who find this passes for comment in a normal society.

    Literally gobsmacked at the utterly vile and disgusting comments written about Meghan Markle by Jeremy Clarkson in the Sun. What an utter piece of trash he is…what is it with these type of men that triggers them so?

    At this time of crisis Parliament must be recalled. There is a lot of work to be done during recess back home in NE Fife but we are just weeks away from a disastrous No Deal Brexit. Tories must stop dodging democracy and #RecallNow - there is No Mandate for No Deal

    This is a national emergency. There is no mandate for an undemocratic no deal #Brexit. Reckless Johnson + unelected Cummings want to gag our democracy. We have written to the PM to demand he recalls Parliament. RT if you believe @BorisJohnson should #RecallNow

    Deciding to vote for another party than the one you served is never easy. Incredibly grateful and honoured by Frances Melville’s support. She is still incredibly well thought of across the political spectrum for all of the hard work she did locally.

    My mother (ex-Lib Dem Provost of Fife) has announced her switch to the SNP. She intends to vote for the incumbent North East Fife MP Stephen Gethins at the general election. @StephenGethins google.com/amp/s/www.thec…
