we passed a resolution not long ago to cut our delegate entitlement so we could fit into smaller venues

time to retvrn to the tradition of actually going places we can make our presence felt (and give us a break from annual trips to aberdeen)

Christ some of these women had *kids* with the spies under these pretences, and this was all for spying on activists

It's actually insulting that the person above is comparing a dicey one night stand to that

That isn't even really what the spy cops case was about - it was about whether it's okay for the state to use its power to waste years of these womens lives and ruin their trust in other people with completely fake relationship for essentially no reason

access to work is legitimately one of the few good programmes they have and it has helped people i know a *lot*

i didn't even see they were making changes to it, that's horrific

they do know a huge part of the disability employment problem is employers simply refuse to employ disabled people or have any reasonable accommodation yes? no amount of specialist jobs advisors will get you into employment when you have CV gaps or stop you getting sacked after a panic attack

That isn't taxing the childless any more than basics like publicly funded education are

Presumably because children are citizens and deserve support and services in their own right, which is what most "spending on policy that supports families" really is when it's done well

I'd say they've banned Glamorgan sausages but I guess we're not in the EU anymore so 🤷‍♀️

anyway in case you're wondering why i'm actually quite proud to campaign for the snp it's because of a clear message of support for people seeking asylum *and* good homelessness policy, and knowing that these aren't in conflict

Kaukab Stewart MSP @kaukabstewart.bsky.social · 4d

Today's Tory motion continues their pattern of wrongly blaming migrants for everything - but they can't even get the basics right. When it comes to issues as sensitive as migration, getting the facts right really matters.
