Scottish Govt not confirming receipt of the Hamilton report but my understanding is current plan is to publish late afternoon. People whose evidence is used have been notified and asked to come back with any objections to use of their data by early afternoon @skynews
While Westminster wastes billions on nuclear weapons, we're giving Scotland's children the best start:
📦 The Baby Box
💷 Scottish Child Payment
💛 More free childcare
🍎 Free school meals
🏴 Children's rights put into law
On May 6, make it #BothVotesSNP to say #BairnsNotBombs.
The worry here is not just CO demand for retraction of materials in public domain (which is really about circumscribing the remit of the Holyrood inquiry) but the demand NOT to tell public of this order. Secret government is always an unqualified evil.
Wonder why the UK wants to keep us in the union ? Here’s a big clue!! All on Faslane Cap on Trident nuclear warhead stockpile to rise by more than 40% | Trident | The Guardian https://t.co/Jqq2arTFp3
For those who died
For those who survived
For the people of Dunblane
Today we remember
Today we mourn
Today we weep, reflecting on the bitter memory, of the loss of innocence.
We stand with Dunblane.
1/8 The #HateCrimeBill has been approved by Holyrood. There is still a chance a Judicial Review may find it discriminatory, but for now its passage into law seems assured. So what light might ScotGov’s Equality Impact Assessment on the Bill shed on how it happened?
My speech in #IWD2021 debate. The high incidence of male violence against women shows that sex is a reality we can’t ignore. If we do we make women more vulnerable. Women must be able to acknowledge that #SexMatters without being labelled bigots.
@MorayBarrySNP @HolyroodDaily I'm not sure myself that new laws are needed to make the wholesale behavioural change needed for women to live lives free of the constant fear of men but to leave women out from a law focused on hate sends a very poor message at this time.
Current sticker activity at my office. Polite. Not threatening. But today a man, a fellow member of my party, will appear in court charged with sending me menacing messages including a threat of sexual violence. That is what threatening & hateful looks like.
🥀 CONFIRMED: Scottish Labour are against Scotland having a choice over its future and have removed a candidate that backs it.
🚨 Voting Scottish Labour helps Tories deny Scotland's right to decide.
🗳 Only #BothVotesSNP on May 6 will put Scotland’s future in Scotland’s hands.
On #IWD2021 I’m delighted to have been selected as one of Westminster's 100 most inspirational & influential women in this year's #WIW100. See the full list here: https://t.co/AYqofjW3nX
These pledges are progress. But this #IWD it’s the duty of all responsible politicians to call out the #misogyny underlying the abuse & threats & to take a stand against the creeping hatred of women taking hold in our public discourse wherever it occurs
