Just catching up with Marr. Mr Gove said he's sure if he was to walk down Sauchiehall Street now people wouldn't be asking about the possibility of a referendum. I would pay good money to see what the average punter on Sauchiehall St would say to Gove #Marr

Everyone in the UK with the telly on pause following the final scene tonight. What a cliff hanger! #LineOfDuty

"These are children who will have experienced the care system at stages in their lives; experienced trauma"....

1/2 When I talk about justice, I often speak about big, complicated things and large numbers of people – it can be overwhelming. I see people taking a deep breath and I can almost hear them thinking that it seems too big to change.

THREAD on BABIES & SCREENTIME.
Young mum I know texts me today. Her beloved babe is 4 mos old.
"Suzanne, I thought screens weren't good for babies. Why are there so many baby sensory videos on YouTube? My wee one loves them. I like seeing her smile. How much is okay for her?"

@SusanCalman @channel5_tv I have had a very challenging week and your interpretation of Kate Bush has just lifted the stress

No reward has been greater to Callum than being able to be a good Dad. The cycle has been broken. Inspiring and motivating talk by Callum tonight to @SACCHScotland. Amazing work by @NavigatorsScot and @MAVscotland

[Callum @callum2591]

You meet a 5yo. His parents have transmitted their trauma on to him through no fault or their own. There is addiction & domestic violence in the home. You feel sorry for the young lad. You want him to be safe.

11 year later you want to lock him up and throw away the key.

@McluckieAlison @callum2591 @MAVscotland @Bruce_Adamson @mairi_stark @vruscotland @Prev_Justice Inspiring, thought provoking. Let's be part of the change. Amazing session tonight thank you to all involved.

[Allison Brogan @AllisonBrogan]

Best presentation I have heard in ages. Inspiring. Thought provoking.

[Bruce Adamson @Bruce_Adamson]

“I didn’t think this life was possible” says a young man from Glasgow whose early experience was poverty, violence and addiction. “My earliest memory was fear”. Now giving an eloquent and powerful presentation to @SACCHScotland as a proud father and #HumanRightsDefender.

#IndyScotland21In just under an hours time, we will lose our EU citizenship & all the rights & benefits that brings.

The new trade deal is not as good as the old one.

We didn’t vote for this, so in 2021 we must choose our own path.

💔There are many children and young people living similar experiences. Taken from their parents and siblings. Could you offer a nurturing safe space to live?

[CELCIS @CELCIStweets]

Today is #WorldChildrensDay. Let’s remember that every child needs to be fed, housed, educated and loved in safety. Let’s reimagine a better world for all our children.

[Barnardo’s @barnardos]

Young people told us what they wanted the Government to think about to help people stay well through #lockdown. Here’s what one young person said. What do you think?

@JaneyGodley The first thought after being over the moon about Biden winning the election was ... I can't wait to see the next voice over video from Janey Godley 😂🇺🇲
