Nice to see the local Groucho Marx Appreciation Society showing off their Buy One Get One Free silicone implants for the world's meeja at Holyrood yesterday.

Opposing the EHRC guidance:
Over the next 30 days, UNISON is trying to convince as many MPs as possible to oppose the guidance on single sex spaces. The union wants examples of how the guidance is unworkable in your workplace.

John Swinney is clearly furious whenever anyone questions his personal integrity
The problem is that that is directly in question following the Murrell scandal. It won't stop, nor should it.
First Minister @JohnSwinney welcomed Susanne Baumann @GermanAmbUK to Bute House.
They discussed the strength of Scotland-Germany relations and he reaffirmed @ScotGov's commitment to continued constructive engagement with Germany and the EU.
The Green Party is calling on the Prime Minister and Bridget Phillipson to reject the cruel and confusing EHRC Code of Practice.
Legislative action must be taken to create an equalities framework that protects trans people’s safety, dignity and humanity.
So the trial was delayed, plea bargaining will allow Murrell a lighter sentence, and £60k of stolen items were ignored? It smells extremely distasteful and Swinney should explain in great detail how this has been deemed acceptable to the whole of Scotland, and very very soon.
A strong economy is key to everything I want to achieve as First Minister.
We will make our planning system work better, expand apprenticeships and devolve powers to Regional Partnerships, helping to create more jobs.
Good to address the @ProsperScot Annual Forum today.
Swinney at #FMQs on his admission that "ringfenced" £600k IndyRef2 funds were spent for general party purposes: "What I said yesterday was nothing different to what the Scottish National Party said in 2021"
Yes, John. That's what the SNP said when it was being run by a fraudster
Scottish Parliament has unanimously agreed that the SNP shall have the Convenor and Deputy Convenor posts on the Finance Commitee despite concerns. Any opposition undermined by every party's bureau members having agreed to proposing the motion in first place.
Very embarrassing from @S_A_Somerville who replied to @MeghanSCUP saying the West Lothian school ruling was about "different legislation" to the Equality Act.
No, it was found to be indirect discrimination under the terms of EA2010. It's clearly amateur hour at Holyrood!
Have thought about it all a lot. I now think there should be a parliamentary inquiry since the cops were looking specifically for criminals not governance failures.
