Another Reform rep on QT, no LibDem, Green, SNP or Plaid politician. A week after Plaid’s big win, wouldn’t it have been an opportunity to hear from them? The over platforming of Reform continues apace.

We're now at a point where MSPs are lodging complete and utter bollocks at Holyrood as part of the wider campaign against trans people. The report this MSP wants to welcome is complete pish, rooted in the so-called "LGB Alliance" *asking their own supporters* views. It represents nobody but them.

I attended a lovely event at Glasgow's Botanic Gardens today, to open the new Peace Garden and to mark the 80th anniversary of the #Hiroshima bombing.
As we remember the atrocities of the past, and work to oppose the atrocities of today, we must not lose hope in the potential for a peaceful future.

I keep seeing the same common theme: the impossible standards placed on anyone advocating changes to our transport system. Question car dependency and you're expected to address every inequality and injustice at the same time; but support car dependency and you'll never be challenged on these issues

The UK has the highest electricity prices anywhere in the rich world. Customers & businesses are being ripped off. Yet no UK politicians dare to talk abt the reason & change it: the rigged market which privatisation created. Either regulate & control or take back into public ownership.

Well done to @gillianmacmsp.bsky.social and Gavin Newlands who’ve been banging the drum on this for years. The national teams are ingrained within the fabric of our culture and it’s a no brainer that they should be available for everyone to watch.

The United Nations have reported Labour's Two-Child Cap violates children's rights & exacerbates poverty. Labour deliberately do not give families of 1.6million children enough money to live on. Thankfully @theSNP will end this in Scotland. I asked The First Minster for an update

I am grateful to Police Scotland for acting quickly.
Everybody deserves access to healthcare without harassment.
That is why I introduced my Act, and why these disgraceful protests are now illegal.
