The latest from the UK Foreign Secretary. Yup the same one who described the EU as being similar to the USSR. He offended the EU President (arrested during the Soviet era) and now offends the Slovenes. He is out of his depth & the rest of us pay the price of Tory ignorance https://t.co/L2RpKpNrPw

There are many benefits of being in the EU. European solidarity is own of them. This is one of the many reasons why our close independent neighbours in Ireland are sticking with the EU and we should too. https://t.co/YcFAYSS3Qm

Well done to the Dunshalt Shop Steering Committee on securing £85,000 in European funding from the Fife LEADER programme!
This cash will enable building work to start and the village to take a huge step closer to opening Fife’s first community owned shop.
I know that the LEADER application, funded by the European Union and the Scottish Government to enhance the quality of life in rural areas, required a great deal of hard work and I am so glad that this cash will enable work to begin and the shop to become a reality.
This follows several other successful funding applications including almost £100,000 from the Scottish Land Fund, as well as a community share option which raised £31,770.
Small shops are crucial to rural communities acting as a central hub for services and activities and this will be a fantastic asset not only to Dunshalt, but the whole of North East Fife. … See MoreSee Less

Well done to Bell Baxter High School and the school’s Equalities Group for taking part in Purple Friday.Purple Friday

The Equalities Group are encouraging staff, where they can, to show support for equality and inclusion of LGBT within the school by joining in with “Purple Friday”. Staff have been encouraged to wear something purple to support the event.

“The day, first celebrated in Canada in 2010, is named after the purple stripe on the LGBT rainbow flag. According to Gilbert Baker, creator of the flag, the purple represents ‘spirit’” [LGBT Youth website].

Look out for photographs from Friday’s event.

The Equalities Group meets every Tuesday lunchtime in 311 (Home Economics). … See MoreSee Less

Bags of Kindness is a fantastic local charity helping many women and men by providing bags stocked with essential items. Many of those benefiting are victims of domestic abuse who are living in refuges and hostels, as well as people who are struggling to make ends meet and have little money left for items like shampoo, deodorant, showergel, toothpaste, toothbrushes and sanitary products.
I have been pleased to provide storage space in the constituency office for the charity over the last few years and grateful for support from local people.
At present Nicki, who runs Bags of Kindness, is appealing for donations. If you are able to do so, please drop off any items to the constituency office, 38-40 Bonnygate, Cupar during office hours.
You can find out more about Bags of Kindness and other drop off points across North East Fife at Bags of Kindness … See MoreSee Less

The SNP has ramped up pressure on the Prime Minister to publish the UK government’s economic impact analysis of her Brexit deal – warning Theresa May cannot continue to duck scrutiny or expect MPs to vote blindfolded for her damaging deal.

Having secured an Urgent Question on the issue in the House of Commons, SNP Westminster Leader Ian Blackford MP said it was clear the Tory leader knew her proposed plan would be a disaster for Scotland and devastating for jobs, living standards and the economy.

The National Institute of Economic & Social Research (NIESR) has warned that, “If the UK government’s proposed Brexit deal is implemented, then GDP in the longer term will be around 4 per cent lower than it would have been had the UK stayed in the EU.”

Commenting, Ian Blackford MP said:

"Theresa May is trying to avoid all scrutiny by refusing to publish the UK government’s economic impact analysis of her damaging Brexit deal.

"It is clear the Prime Minister knows her proposals would be a disaster for Scotland -and devastating for jobs, living standards and the economy.

"We know Brexit would inflict lasting harm – hitting Scotland’s GDP by up to 9%, putting 100,000 jobs on the line, and costing our economy £12.7billion a year, the equivalent of £2,300 for every person in the country.

"It is staggering that we are just 37 days away from crashing out of the EU, and the UK government has still not published any economic analysis of the Brexit deal they are asking MPs to support.

"Despite being asked countless times the Prime Minister has refused to confirm or deny whether her government has even carried out an economic impact analysis of her deal – it is the height of irresponsibility.

“The Tories cannot be allowed to drive Scotland off the Brexit cliff-edge. Theresa May must publish an analysis on her deal immediately – and if no analysis has been produced, then she must come clean." … See MoreSee Less
