(1) On Friday, alongside @wyndfordu I visited the Maryhill Hub. I'd began my campaign seeking a legal guarantee on the Hub, @GlasgowCC are still refusing this, as are the Greens and SNP, but it is distressing in a city notorious for buildings burning down to see the NUC targeted.
The final hustings of the GE for me in North Halfway Hall. Halfway seems like a forgotten area and needs significant support. It was a pleasure to state my principles and the @AlbaParty aims to a great group of constituents. Only independence will help the community #VoteALBA
@WRNScotland@OtitoGloAdebo@KatyLoudonSNP@JohnMcA07300820@mgshanks I absolutely and unequivocally support women and girls to have their sex-based rights protected at work and elsewhere for safety, privacy, dignity, and fairness. Organisations such as For Women Scotland have stood their ground and Alba has been proud to stand alongside them.
🧵Great to complete my round of campaigning with 19 fine @AlbaParty candidates across the country with @Jim4Indy in Rutherglen and @Corri_Wilson in sunny, but windy, Ayr! (1/6)
Great meeting today with Alex Salmond and Jim Eadie to discuss the issues affecting the private hire and taxi trade, including the woeful state of Glasgow nighttime economy and the sky high costs of public EV chargers.

I have been dealing with a case for several months which has been enormously challenging given my NHS service. NHS Fife bosses are abandoning their responsibility to protect female staff. I can't imagine treating my staff with such contempt and they should be utterly ashamed of themselves.
I am enormously grateful and indebted to the teams at @SexMattersOrg and @ForWomenScot for their unstinting support.
"Female NHS worker takes legal action over sharing changing room with trans woman
Worker was suspended by NHS Fife after complaining that allowing a man who identified as a woman to use changing room was in breach of the Equality Act.
"Hanvey said: “Sex Matters have been outstanding in their support for the sex-based rights of women in the workplace and have assisted the woman in obtaining legal representation to pursue her claims.
“The question every candidate now must answer before people vote is whether they think women are entitled to their sex-based protections in the workplace or not. They cannot be allowed to duck this essential issue.”
