@thegradmedic Full Disclaimer attached to the above that I am a final year law student rather than a qualified solicitor. Someone else might no more. I’m also the partner of a terrified, soon-to-be FY1 and you have my every last bit of solidarity 🥹

🧵🧵🧵🧵BUCKLE UP! a ✨chunky✨ thread about Scottish Politics and Twitter

@PFOKane ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I include myself to very much exist within that category of thinking. But myself and how many others? And more importantly - what’s got to change?
