Women for Independence - Independence for Women condemns the hostile acts of the Government of the Russian Federation under Vladimir Putin in invading Ukraine. The right of the people of Ukraine to democratically determine the future of their country has been violated. (1/3)
🚉 BREAKING: We are putting ScotRail into public ownership from April 2022.
🏴 Transport Minister @JennyGilruth has confirmed that the new operator will be fully owned and controlled by the Scottish Government.
Was very happy to support the motion and the amendment on the reintroduction of Post Buses, access to basic services is vital for our rural and island communities.
What utter rubbish. People hostile to our party and from external organisations tried to take over our NEC. It inevitably ended in tears and most deserted their posts, some defecting to the Alba Party. It was a disaster which is thankfully all now over. https://t.co/esOXwJqwHk
Remote @theSNP conferences lack the engagement that comes from being in a hall together, but some speakers really bring their topic to life. @ruby_zajac did so just now on child rights - real passion in her plea to the Scottish Government to push ahead with the UNCRC Bill. #SNP21
Collective statement by the executive of the DMG :The SNP disabled members group believes that there is no place for conversion therapy of any kind in Scotland. Such practices are discriminatory and harmful to the mental health and wellbeing of LGBTI people.
SNP members are constantly speaking out against transphobia, often to the detriment of their health.
We need to learn from the Greens and start booting out those who openly spout/stoke it. No point in empty words, we need action three years ago & failing that, now.
📣 The COP Conference of Youth, starting on Thursday, will gather over 400 young people from over 120 countries to draw up their demands of world leaders.
While the UK government refused to fund this vital platform for young people, @scotgov has stepped up to fund it itself.
@ScotNational Thought that was what he had promised us in 2014 with the “vow” and we all know how well that has gone. The problem is power devolved is power retained by Westminster.
I am deeply saddened to hear of the rise in reports of sexual violence in Shetland within the last year.
I strongly believe that much more is yet to be done to tackle pervasive misogyny and I will continue to give this issue the attention it deserves during my time as an MSP.
Women for Indy members, it's ELECTION time!
Every two years, @WomenForIndy elects a new National Committee, with representatives taken from all the voter regions in Scotland.
And this next Committee will have a particularly important task...
📣 Glad to see the launch of a consultation on public opinion, ahead of the creation of a National Care Service.
💛 This was one of the most exciting proposals in @theSNP’s election-winning manifesto and seeks to provide everyone across Scotland with the same standard of care.
