Scottish Labour councillor serving East Kilbride West

@unisontheunion @unisontheunion as a union where almost 80% of your members are women, please clarify, are you now campaigning for the Equality Act to be changed so 'sex' is no longer a protected characteristic?

[Councillor Kirsty Williams @KWilliamsLabour]

@tracygilbert72 pointing out that, despite all the pearl-clutching, the judgement and guidance does not revoke anyone's rights

[LabourWomen’sDeclaration @LabWomenDec]

In a sea of misinformation & misapprehension from various Lab, Plaid, LD & SNP MPs following the govt statement on the @EHRC Code, here's Lab MP @tracygilbert72 bringing a breath of fresh air with her welcome of the Code's clarity and confirmation of protection for women & girls.

[Councillor Kirsty Williams @KWilliamsLabour]

@JoaniReid @bbcdebatenight @JoeJFagan spoke about the discourse in Scottish politics becoming 'trivial', and you've highlighted a perfect example of this.

[Councillor Kirsty Williams @KWilliamsLabour]

You mean 'women' @guardian 'PMOS is hoped to better reflect the condition’s complex nature – which affects not only the reproductive system in people assigned female at birth' https://t.co/LBjGeHYVHV

[Carol Mochan MSP @CMochan]

@WRNScotland I do believe in the right to single sex spaces. It’s one of the key reasons I voted against the GRR.

[Councillor Kirsty Williams @KWilliamsLabour]

@BBCScotlandNews don't be shy, the estimated costs of purchase and upgrade of Ardrossan is north of £200 million, not the £80 million reported by you. All because boats that were too big were built. Think what that extra £200 million could do for our NHS.

It’s community leaders and communities that are renewing our country.

This isn’t broken britain. It’s Community Britain.

[Councillor Kirsty Williams @KWilliamsLabour]

@SkyNews please try harder to speak to the other 50% when claiming to speak to 'the community'

[Joani Reid MP @JoaniReid]

East Kilbride has huge potential, but we need to be honest about the challenges too. Pleased to contribute to this @theipaper piece on the town's past, present and what needs to come next https://t.co/ZgL6CnfPW7

[Robert Peston @Peston]

Keir Starmer has tonight told his MPs: “The Conservatives are not our principal opponent. Reform are our main rivals for power. We have a moral responsibility to make sure Farage never wins.”

And PM takes off gloves: “We have to be clear that every opportunity he has had in this Parliament to back working people he’s voted against. Telling the workers at Jaguar Land Rover they deserve to go bust. A state-slashing, NHS-privatising, Putin apologist. Without a single patriotic bone in his body. We will take to fight to him. We will fight as Labour.”

Here's the SNP telling us once again that combating violence against women and girls just isn't a priority for them.

Prostitution is not a job. It is the oldest form of sexual exploitation and a devastating manifestation of gender inequality. We must do more to protect women and challenge the systems that enable this exploitation. #ViolenceAgainstWomen #FemicideCensus #IWD2025

[Councillor Kirsty Williams @KWilliamsLabour]

Our newest Labour councillor 👏🌹

[Anas Sarwar @AnasSarwar]

An absolutely phenomenal result last night in the Kirkintilloch East and North and Twechar by-election. Sending a huge congratulations to @LabourAidan and the team.

Scotland can see that the SNP has lost their way and that we need a new direction.

@AnasSarwar @LabourAidan Fantastic news @LabourAidan

[Kirsty McNeill MP @kirstyjmcneill]

Every day for the rest of the year - for the rest of my life in fact - the test is the same. Have we done enough today to build a country in which everyone is safe and everyone has enough? That’s the prize. Eyes on it. Great to speak to @HannahMargBrown at the @heraldscotland.

[Councillor Kirsty Williams @KWilliamsLabour]

This is what a LABOUR budget looks like

[Anas Sarwar @AnasSarwar]

An end to the era of austerity - promises made, promises delivered.

[Joani Reid MP @JoaniReid]

I was genuinely shocked to discover just how low the survival rate for pancreatic cancer is. We need more research and support for the less survivable cancers. I’m now committed to support The Less Survivable Cancers Taskforce and others working on this.
