I did this interview in the middle of last week with @katie_strick, largely because I wanted to talk about the ludicrous bullying of Roisin Murphy. It is both shocking and totally unsurprising that things seem to have got only worse since then https://t.co/dYE30MbFNQ

She’s made it!! My friend Gill Castle from Alnwick has become the first person in the world with a stoma to swim the English Channel. She is an amazing inspirational woman and I am thrilled for her!

[Pam Duncan-Glancy @GlasgowPam]

Absolutely gutting😭.

1,276 lives lost and thousands more families and friends heartbroken.

And for the last 5 years, rates have been higher than average in Glasgow.

Tragic.

This is the legacy of the SNP’s shameful cuts to Drug and Alcohol Partnerships.

@DocDavidM @healthmyjourney Support of people who already have lost esteem in every area of life takes very skilled management. Refinery in this , given that addiction takes its toll on all from diversely different stories.

Brilliant work by everyone involved. Dr Flora Murray has, at long last, come home.

Also great galleries in D&G @gracefieldarts and @kbtgalleries for example, supported by their local communities, that would benefit from additional funding/publicity @CreativeScots @AngusRobertson. When you "do Scotland" don't stop at the Central belt.

Another bombshell revelation that lays bare the chaos at the heart of the SNP. That the SNP treasurer did not know that over £100,000 had been spent on a motorhome is mind-boggling. This is a party in melt-down. It's time for a clean break with Scottish Labour.

On the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, remembering the vital role of the much-missed Mo Mowlam.

The contribution she and other women made to the peace process is too often overlooked. We won’t forget. ♥️

[Angela Rayner @AngelaRayner]

She worked hard. Despite being written off, with support and determination she turned her life around, put herself forward to serve - and was elected.

Too many people are told they’re not good enough and get held back from fulfilling their potential. I’m proud of who I am.

[Cllr Linda Dorward, Lochar Ward.DGC 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧ @DorwardLindaJ]

Mo Mowlem was pivotal to the Good Friday Agreement, as were the other "Peace Heroines" from the womens coalitions .... about bloody time.

@GDA__online The @Labour_GCC voted against the cuts, but they still went through.

So I’ve submitted an urgent question to the Scottish government on this, if it’s selected, it will be taken in parliament tomorrow (Thursday 23rd). I’ll keep you posted.

Now free to read, my @scotonsunday column on how the SNP's meltdown is now a crisis in Scotland's democracy. It's time for the current leadership contest to be scrapped and a new one - with no party control over the process - to be established: https://t.co/VLJMlsS7AR

[Jackie Baillie @jackiebmsp]

Further evidence that @HumzaYousaf is out of his depth. This is embarrassing.
