Mary Fee

Member of Scottish Parliament for West Scotland 2011-2021. Retiring at the May elections and no longer MSP at from this date.

[Mary Fee @MaryFeeLabour]

My time as a Member of Scottish Parliament now comes to a close. Thanks to all who have supported me in these ten years, especially my staff. Best wishes to all comrades standing tomorrow. Never let a day go by without fighting for equality, social justice and socialism.

[Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee @SP_DPLR]

@SP_subleg met for the 173rd and final time in Session 5 today. It's great that Members were still able to raise a smile @billabowman @GilMPaterson @MBallantyneMSP @MaryFeeMSP @JoeFitzSNP

[Mary Fee @MaryFeeLabour]

I can’t thank everyone enough for their kind words today. It’s great to see the UNCRC Bill pass and with my amendments included. Many thanks to @together_sacr and all the other wonderful organisations for their support.

It was a fitting way to end my time as MSP with the debate.

[Mary Fee @MaryFeeLabour]

I am making my final speeches in the Scottish Parliament today on the UNCRC Bill. It has been a real honour to represent West Scotland and Labour for 10 years.

It is also an honour to make my final contribution in this debate on human rights.

[Anas Sarwar @AnasSarwar]

Under my leadership, Scottish Labour's only priority will be a national recovery.

[Anas Sarwar @AnasSarwar]

I want to unite our country around ‘A National Recovery Plan’.

That will be the theme of our entire campaign.

[Mary Fee @MaryFeeLabour]

I have been made aware of sectarian graffiti in areas of Renfrew and I have been speaking with the council over the last few days. They have been working hard to remove this. If Renfrew residents find more, please report to the council or call my office on 01418894828.

[Mary Fee @MaryFeeLabour]

My final meeting of the CPG on the Scottish Gypsy/Traveller Community takes place this afternoon. It’s been an honour to convene this CPG and I hope that someone can carry on the work to support the Gypsy/Traveller community after the election.

[Anas Sarwar @AnasSarwar]

Happy International Women's Day!

Today I want to recognise again the hard work, dedication and selflessness of all the women who have been working on the frontlines of Scotland's fight against COVID-19.

From everyone at Scottish Labour - thank you.

[Mary Fee @MaryFeeLabour]

On #IWD2021 I want to thank all the women in the Scottish Parliament - MSPs, MSP staff and parliament staff - for the support and guidance provided to me in my nearly 10 years as West Scotland MSP.

[Mary Fee @MaryFeeLabour]

I have been alerted to this photo of vandalism at the play area in Robertson Park, Renfrew. This is simply abhorrent behaviour and those responsible must be caught.

I am contacting Renfrewshire Council for an update on proposed CCTV for the park.

[Mary Fee @MaryFeeLabour]

Congratulations to @AnasSarwar on becoming Scottish Labour leader. This is a historic moment in our politics and movement with Anas becoming the first BAME leader of a political party in the UK.

Thanks to @MonicaLennon7 for a spirited campaign. We had two fantastic candidates.

[Anas Sarwar @AnasSarwar]

It is the greatest honour of my life to be elected leader of @ScottishLabour.

I will be a leader that focuses on what unites us as a country - not what divides us.

[Mary Fee @MaryFeeLabour]

This wasn’t forgotten or should it be. The right thing was done in the end but taking credit for the Bill is shameful. #periodpoverty

[The SNP @theSNP]

💛 Together, we're building a fairer, more equal country.

🌍 Scotland is leading the world in tackling period poverty - providing free sanitary products to all those who need them.

At the Equalities and Human Rights Committee today I was delighted to pass 8 of my amendments. It was also crucial to have @agcolehamilton's amendment on the implementation passed. Thanks to @EHRCScotland @FamiliesOutside @together_sacr and others for their support.

[Bruce Adamson @Bruce_Adamson]

Huge thank you to Committee members of @SP_EHRiC @RBFMaguire @agcolehamilton @MaryFeeMSP @JoeFitzSNP @AlisonHarrisMSP @GillianMSP Alexander Stewart MSP for their work as #HumanRightsGuarantors and strengthening the UNCRC incorporation bill at Stage 2 #UNCRCScotland

Solidarity with trans men, trans women and non-binary people then, now and always.

Trans rights are human rights.

#equality #LGBT

[Mary Fee @MaryFeeLabour]

Thanks to @LGBTIScotland and all signatories for the letter on Trans rights. I am a proud ally and I will always stand with LGBT community.

"We stand for LGBT equality alongside equality for all other groups - there is no real equality unless it is equality for all."

[Scottish Labour @ScottishLabour]
