Pleased to receive unanimous backing for my motion to Falkirk Council to re-examine the rights of religious reps to (uniquely among reps) be able to vote in committee After 50 years it's about time we looked at this again & made progress to a more accountable democracy #progress #scottishpolitics

Another difficult week ahead, plates spinning on multiple fronts & v serious decisions at council #balance often so hard to achieve but it's why I feel extra passionate, there must be room for utter unapologetic #nonsense Ahem #ZidaneOnAVan week 1 🤣 🎄 #mentalhealthmatters #familytime #selfcare

When you move to a new social media platform and while you're getting set up with accounts to follow, your default stream is basically cats and books. Ideal! For my first post, I might as well join in (though I'm here for the politics & equalities chat too!) #nocomplaints #cats #books #firstpost
