Always a joy getting to spend time with women trade unionists. Thanks to @unison.org.uk for the invite to address their Scottish Women’s Conference as @scottishtuc.bsky.social women’s committee chair. Really important discussions on tackling the far right and Women Against the Far Right Scotland

NASUWT started day 2 #STUC26 by visiting Trans Pride Scotland's stall. #transrightsarehumanrights

Massive shout out to all my trade union sisters - I really felt the warmth, solidarity and support of the women’s movement this week at #STUC26. @scottishtuc.bsky.social #womendemandbetter #powerinaunion 💪✊✊

At #STUC26 @nasuwtscotland.bsky.social were calling for corporate manslaughter charges against tech companies. www.stuc.org.uk/news/congres... Tech companies and those in their senior corporate structures should not be able to hide behind intentionally harmful algorithms and platform designs.

Legislation and enforcement have consistently lagged behind technological advances. Delighted this emergency motion passed 💪

Day 3 #STUC26 and NASUWT started by visiting the ACTSA Scotland stall to discuss the Nelson Mandela Memorial Foundation and the school materials already in use. @mandelasmf.bsky.social mandelascottishmemorial.org/education-pr...

I was so delighted to be asked to speak at @sutrscotland.bsky.social fringe at @scottishtuc.bsky.social congress #STUC26 Tackling the far right and building workers unity will need us all to work collaboratively - across unions, workplaces, organisations and communities. Let’s break those silos ✊

NASUWT Policy Official @taralillis.bsky.social delivers her speech to STUC Congress 2026 as Chair of the Women’s Committee: ‘We need to ensure that women are at the table, not on the menu!’ #STUC26

A wee sneak peek behind the scenes at #STUC26. Capturing our members important contributions for social media 📸

An excellent turn out for the Aberdeen Unity rally today. Listening to one of our members deliver this powerful speech was definitely one of the highlights. 👏👏👏👏

Today I stood alongside NASUWT activists and trade union sisters in Aberdeen - united against racism, fascism and the far right. #refugeeswelcome @scottishtuc.bsky.social @sutrscotland.bsky.social

Proud that NASUWT tonight is holding an Access to Trans Healthcare webinar to help members and reps to understand the support trans colleagues might need. Thanks @transactualuk.bsky.social ✊

We need parties to work internally to tackle misogyny, gender-based violence & sexual harassment in their own parties & the political sphere as well as in communities, schools & workplaces. #womendemandbetter www.stuc.org.uk/resources/wo... @scottishtuc.bsky.social

Sweets and solidarity brought to @ucuedinburgh.bsky.social members today at George Square. NASUWT and @scottishtuc.bsky.social women’s committee stand with all striking workers to demand better ✊

What a day walking behind the WATFRS banner at the Stop the Far-Right Unity Rally in Edinburgh. The sun was out and we had a massive show of support from trade unions, community groups, women’s groups and anti racist activists. 👏👏👏#refugeeswelcome @lizmcg1578.bsky.social @scottishtuc.bsky.social

Nik, one of our National Executive Members, spoke at the Unity rally in Edinburgh today with a clear message - NASUWT says no to hate and racism! Refugees are welcome here 👏👏👏 @sutrscotland.bsky.social

The STUC Women’s Committee and Young Women's Movement highlighted their election manifestos at the Scottish Parliament earlier today, calling on all political parties to challenge far-right narratives, counter misogyny, and tackle GBV and mis and dis-information.

I joined the Scottish Food Commission for their launch event, Making Food Work for All, marking another milestone in Scotland’s progress to becoming a Good Food Nation. Building connections to further @scottishtuc.bsky.social women’s committee universal free school meals campaign. #FoodforThought

It is a tribute to the persistence of our black members & black teachers across Scotland that we now have guidance which recognises that tackling racism & racist incidents is the responsibility of every school. Check it out 👇 www.gov.scot/publications...

Bite Back held their 'Young People Speak: Food, Power and the Scottish Election' event this evening. Fantastic support for @scottishtuc.bsky.social women's committee #FoodforThought campaign for #UFSM in the room Social media restrictions also discussed in the Q&A www.nasuwt.org.uk/advice/in-th...

Working on the Fair Work for Neurodivergent Teachers project has been an amazing experience, building and supporting grassroots activism. Email [email protected] to get involved.

An evening well spent @scotparl.bsky.social @cpagscotland.bsky.social hearing from young people and their teachers. Government must do more to address school costs and tackle poverty - including implementation of universal free school meals. @scottishtuc.bsky.social #FoodforThought

The precedent is eerily, chillingly precise. What the current Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is doing to immigrants and refugees today is almost a carbon copy of what Sir William Joynson-Hicks was doing 100 years ago. And that's not a good thing. My column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We join our members in #Iran and vehemently condemn the bombing of Shajare Tayyiba Elementary School by U.S. and Israeli forces. 📢 Children and schools must never be military targets. Killing and wounding of students and teachers is a blatant violation of human rights! www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Time flies when you are having fun 🤣🤷‍♀️ Friday was my 20 year anniversary with NASUWT - thanks to the team for the yummy cake 🍰 😊 It was a busy one with a hustings, Scotland Executive Council then a trip through west to Glasgow after SEC. Here’s to the next 20 years 🥂

Small acts of resistance lead to big changes. Externally, and internally. Defiance can inspire others, as well as being a salve for the rage of living in a time when wickedness appears to be growing, unchecked. When #SilenceIsComplicity, taking a stand is essential.

Women adopt AI at rates 25% lower than men: You built the wife function in software. You called it revolutionary. We’ve been doing this for free since the beginning of civilization… Women don't need AI training. They need recognition abiawomosu.substack.com/p/they-built... @abiawomosu.bsky.social

If we really care about protecting our women & girls we need to reject the racist campaigns that solely target those seeking asylum & instead go after those at the top until every last… [one]… who may have aided & abetted the abuse of women & girls is brought to task. @rozfoyer.bsky.social ✊✊✊

These two women are suing Andrew Tate, alleging he raped them. Here they visit the social media companies that created Tate. Please share. *one voice altered to disguise identity

It is a scandalous and criminal failure of governments around the world that we are in this situation. Meanwhile, those who have profited enormously from the industries that have brought this crisis to pass, pay nothing. #ClimateEmergency

Important thread 👇

The moon has been sighted!🌙 We wish you and your loved ones a month filled with peace and endless blessings. Ramadan Mubarak! #Ramadan2026 #RamadanMubarak

We came off it at @nasuwtscotland.bsky.social about 18 months ago (around the time of Musk’s Nazi salute). The cesspit has only got worse since then. There’s no excuse.

…These files show that it is not trans people or immigrants causing chaos for ordinary people, but well-connected billionaires and those in power who enable them.

Today we welcomed our Neurodiversity Support Network to the Edinburgh office to progress the campaign plan & toolkit 'Fair Work for Neurodivergent Teachers' Lots of lived experience shared to build a vision of an inclusive, supportive education system for all. A brilliant day 💪🎉

As Chair of @scottishtuc.bsky.social Women’s Committee I was so pleased to be able to write a blog piece for @alliancescot.bsky.social - ‘Actions on women’s health should not be shouldered by women alone’ Check it out👇 www.alliance-scotland.org.uk/blog/opinion...

A creative CEDAW workshop today with @engenderscot.bsky.social & @scottishtuc.bsky.social women’s committee. Working collaboratively with trade union women to help shape Engender’s report to the UN and hold the UK to account for gender inequality ✊

Documentary on Kenmure Street immigration protest wins Sundance award. Special Jury Award, which recognises films that demonstrate exceptional courage and impact in documenting civil resistance around the world. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Everybody to Kenmure Street has won an international award at Sundance Film Festival. Well timed, cos it will remind doubters, haters & sceptics that neighbours will protect one another against an authoritarian state - in Glasgow 2021 or Minneapolis today. www.thenational.scot/news/2581367...
