Awful Offord. What a shocking waste of FMQs. Instead of using the opportunity to hold the SNP to account, we got one of the weakest leadership performances the chamber has seen. Trying to crack jokes about convicted rapists wasn’t just tone-deaf—it trivialised a serious issue. Scotland deserved far better.
The Government is pressing ahead with a conversion therapy ban so broadly drawn that parents, therapists and even religious leaders could face prosecution for ordinary conversations about sex and gender.
Sign and share our petition to tell Andy Burnham that this assault on free speech must be dropped
John Swinney chooses to play the man at FMQs in response to Russell Findlay's legitimate questions about the First Minister's role in the Murrell scandal and refusal to allow an inquiry
Rattled.
This is disgraceful. What we should be banning is encouraging confused young people that they can change gender. Jail time for those involved in these despicable practices would be welcome.
BURNHAM MUST RULE OUT FURTHER BUSINESS TAX RAID
Today I’ll be addressing @BritishChambers Global Annual Conference.
Businesses have been hammered by this Labour government. Now they face the uncertainty of what a new Prime Minister might be planning.

Everyone has the right to protest.
No one should have the right to hijack national events with amplified noise and deliberate disruption.
Steve Bray’s antics are a national embarrassment. I have written to Met Police Commissioner Mark Rowley to ask what can be done to stop it.
"I grew up on a council estate" is not an excuse for failure. You are sacrificing the future of generations of kids on the altar of your class envy -reversing even Labour's academy reforms.
0% of teachers think you're doing a great job. I'm not here to give you a pat on the back.
I speak for those people whose lives you're destroying and I'll NEVER stop speaking up for them.
"It's not my leadership ambitions people in your party need to worry about, Mr Kerr."
