Just in from mammoth interview session to two bits of news. One that a DV perp got locked up because of something I did and that a vulnerable constituent had a a massive wrongful debt written off after our intervention. This is why I came to politics, this is why I'll just keep cracking on.

Scotland produces around 5 times more energy than it uses. In return for being controlled by corporate London we also pay the highest prices in the world for our OWN energy. Unionism did this

Children accounted for the biggest rise of any social group falling into poverty a shocking new report has found - a record 36%, or 5.2 million children are now in deprivation

Child poverty should be the national conversation right now
🚨Millions of people in this country are living in poverty, destitution & using food banks. It’s barely getting a mention.

I’m joining forces with @bigissue.bsky.social in calling for a POVERTY ZERO LAW - a statutory duty for every gov’t to set POVERTY REDUCTION TARGETS

Hello, Spencer! Especially when it comes to news, it would be really helpful if you could add alt text to images you use! You can go into Settings -> Accessibility to set it to remind you to use alt text.

You might not know this but your local library probably has an app where you can borrow ebooks and audiobooks, for free! Some have apps that let you borrow digital comics too.

My library subscribes to Borrowbox and it's great, I constantly have 2-3 audiobooks on loan.

Support your local library!

The best thing I've done for my mental health in years has been to start spending two hours a day working from my local library. Those places have healing energy.
