Arghhhh!! Completely gutted by this announcement. Will be seeking more information as a matter of urgency.
I know that the local management have fought hard and that the store was actually doing really well compared to other stores. This is a shoddy decision.
This is a huge employer in the city centre. The impact on George Street and the Bon Accord Centre will likely be devastating.
I am seeking a meeting with John Lewis. I will be asking them to reverse this decision.

Home schooling reminders for those starting tomorrow.
1. Do not judge yourself against others. Just because they post a happy pic doesn’t mean they’re not also drowning.
2. You have a right to be sad and find things hard even if you have fewer children / a less demanding job / a bigger home than other people.
3. We are in the midst of a global pandemic. People are dying. It is understandable that you and your children will be tired, stressed and worried. Cut everyone some slack, especially yourself.

4. If you’re working speak to your employer and ask for flexibility if you need it.

I have no idea how to post about this but I feel like I should.
We are living through a global pandemic. Life has changed in ways nobody predicted and we couldn’t have imagined even at the start of 2020.
Many of us have been ill. Far too many have lost loved ones. We have not been able to seek the comfort of spending time with those we love.

As physical services resume in many of our city's faith communities, I would like to take the opportunity to thank you all. Thank you to all of those faith leaders who reached out to me when I resigned as Deputy Leader of the SNP Westminster Group.
Though I did not respond to you all, your kind words and offers of support were really welcome and helpful at a hard, dark time for me.
Thank you for reaching out and supporting your congregations and wider local communities during this incredibly difficult time.
The hard work done by those who lead in faith organisations, and by other members of your community undoubtedly makes our city a better place. I know you work to help those of all faiths and none, and the work you do is appreciated.

I don’t normally comment publicly on internal party stuff. If a sitting MP decides to stand as an MSP I do understand that there are significant funding issues because that individual is causing a by-election.
There are also local organisational issues with running one campaign immediately after another. My big concern about asking an MP to stand down much in advance of a Holyrood election is that this will have knock on implications for their staff.
Asking SNP MPs to do this effectively means that only MPs who are happy to see their staff jobless will be able to stand for Holyrood. This is because their MP staff would no longer have a job either for the interim period or if the MP doesn’t get elected as an MSP.

I have taken the difficult decision to stand down as @theSNP Deputy Leader in Westminster.

I'm proud of what I've achieved as SNP Westminster Deputy Leader over the past three years.
Together with our team of SNP MPs we have provided a strong voice for Scotland at a challenging time, won a landslide victory at the general election, and seen support for independence rise to record levels.
Like many others, I've struggled with the impact that lockdown has had on my mental health. In order to prioritise my constituency and my family, I have made the difficult personal decision to step down from my Leadership role.
