  1. If folk are interested in the actual fiscal impact of devolving rate-setting to Councils, here is the independent Scottish Fiscal Commission - "policy changes with no financial effect". I prefer them over SNP spin doctors

  2. More lies from the SNP in the Scotsman. My amendment would NOT cost small businesses "more than £7000". My amendment preserves national reliefs & has no fiscal impact. Small bsuinesses will have far more influence over NDR with rates set by councils

  3. There is absolutely no threat to charitable relief in the NDR Bill. Charitable relief is set out in the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and there are no amendments to alter this other than in relation to independent schools

    Poništi
  4. Except there is no proposal either from myself nor anyone else to devolve rate-setting to Councils within the next 12 months. The Herald has never spoken to me about my amendments preferring to listen to Govt spin doctors and businesses.

  5. More disinformation on my Non-Domestic Rates Bill amendment 23 to empower localgov. There is NO proposal to devolve rate-setting within 12 months. The amendmet says by 1 April 2024 and that date can be amended by Ministers.

    .'s proposals to repatriate NDR to councils will be debated this week. Some of Scotland's economic weaknesses are local problems which need local solutions. But those solutions are impossible to access as councils are insufficiently equipped.

    Reform Scotland believes greater fiscal powers need to be devolved from Holyrood to councils. This is why we back 's proposals to repatriate business rates to local authorities:

  8. Brutal replies to this tweet. I too meet with organisations (some with whom I disagree) but I would never spend an evening drinking wine with them far less to mark the end of the shooting “season”

    31 January is the final day for comments on the proposal to spend £120m on Sheriffhall roundabout. Green Councillor argues that money would be better spent on walking, cycling and public transport. If you agree go to .

  10. Another inaccurate and misleading article on the issues facing Parliament on Tuesday afternoon. For an accurate outline, read my letter to MSPs & briefing.

    The ground beneath my feet in this photo has seen daylight for only a matter of months over the last few hundred years. Normally the Sphinx sits here, but in late September 2018 it vanished for the second time in succession. An unprecedented event.

    As I am leaving the European Parliament today with tears in my eyes, so many people come up to me and find one or two comforting words, hug me and give me a compassionate nod. This institution has shown so much dignity and humanity in this struggle. THANK YOU 🇪🇺❤️

  14. A lot of misinformation about my NDR amendment to be debated Tue. Leading newspaper been running business views all week & never asked for my views once. Tue is about creating a normal European democracy. A historic vote after 20yrs of devolution. Read below

    Real test before Holyrood on Tuesday with vote on amendment to empower local democracy. Will MSPs live up to rhetoric of decentralisation or prefer continued centralist practice?

    Paris (again). 2014 bike lane network vs plan for 2024. This is truly outstanding stuff. Mayor of Paris is just amazing.

  19. This afternoon I have written to all MSPs to encourage them to right a historical wrong and return non-domestic rate setting powers to local councils as is the case in most normal European countries. Briefing here

    LANDMARK CASE!!!! Congratulations to the Borders Council who won their case at the Court of Session confirming a main door property 🚪 being used as a short-term let was unlawful due to the impacts on neighbours - the highest possible level these decisions can be challenged 💥
