"Words fail me. What social and cultural ties does the First Minister really think will benefit from a relationship with such a man?"

At today's FMQs @patrickharvie asked John Swinney about his comments on Donald Trump.

Despite the claims, Mermaids cleared of misconduct toward young trans gender people.

“I’m not testing for Covid. If I’m sick I’m sick. What difference does it make?”

It makes a big difference. You SHOULD be testing. There’s things you should do differently if it’s Covid.

Governments & public health aren’t informing you - but that doesn’t change reality 🧵/1

Today I received my salary back pay. Hard fought for. I plan to pay the bills and have a nice September weekend.

Grabbing this protester by the throat was an unnecessary and disproportionate use of force.

When Walter Wolfgang was manhandled out of the conference hall in 2005, the Labour Party apologised to him. We should do the same now.

And thanks for your unwavering support, you did us proud ❤️

[Student Action @StudentActionFE]

Shout out to every single lecturer we’ve met throughout this dispute✊🏼❤️. Thanks for the picket line educations, the words of wisdom at rallies, the optimism and the realism which we needed at times. It’s wild that through our results being withheld we actually learned [1/3]

[Sharon MacGregor she/her @shaz_mac]

The deal stopped both deeming of lecturers for carrying out legitimate industrial action, and compulsory redundancy as trade off for our legitimate claim. Apparently, there was a ‘magic money tree’ even if it didn’t quite shake quite as much as we would have liked. Onwards.

What about the company’s complicity in genocide - who will do time for that?

[Student Action @StudentActionFE]

It’s important to note that CoGC is unique in that months of strike action last year was not over pay, but over Paul Little attempting to make 100 lecturers redundant. This is separate from the @EISFela national action over pay and to note mention so is, imo, disingenuous.

@SandraW79347 I know, Sandra. I am trying to be positive that any offer recognises our worth. Remember, we had a very strong ballot over the summer and they would be fools to ignore that.

[Sharon MacGregor she/her @shaz_mac]

Strike suspended, ASOS continues. Hopefully, a fair resolution to this dispute is in sight ✊
