People who come to our country to escape from war, persecution and disasters should be accommodated in dignity, safety and comfort... Catch up on my statement earlier in the week to mark #InternationalMigrantsDay (link below).

Over 50 businesses in Aberdeen have committed to boycott Israeli goods and services — making our city apartheid free! Join us this Saturday at 10am for more AFZ action. Meeting point is Grounded Café.

This great testament to the hard work carried out by @nescanhub.bsky.social over the last year. Take a look and feel inspired! (link below)

❤️ Let’s spread festive kindness and look out for workers at one of the busiest times of the year. In shops, bars, restaurants, and on trains & buses, they keep everything moving. A little patience, a smile, or a thank you goes a long way!

A compelling read in the Scotsman today from Vic at Scottish Trans. We really are in a mess. It's important that trans people are provided clarity amidst the many rulings, (lack of) guidance and media narrative which have muddied the waters. (link below)

HMP Bronzefield must urgently allow medics into the prison to treat Qesser before it’s too late. The appalling denial of medical attention ... will likely have fatal consequences, directly linked to the decision-making of Labour ministers. Read my full comment, link below.

Today is #InternationalMigrantsDay. Migrants are not statistics or headlines. They are our neighbours, colleagues, carers, friends and loved ones - contributing every day to our communities and our society.

📰 Worth a read: The Scottish Wildlife Trust has a newly published blog exploring how nature-based solutions can help Scotland adapt to a changing climate by reducing flood risk and strengthening the resilience of communities and ecosystems.

Last week I... ✊ Gained support from two former First Minsters for my motion supporting anti-arms trade campaigners on hunger strike 🧏‍♀️ Called for ambitious plans to support BSL users to enable better access to education, healthcare, justice & other services

Bridget Phillipson knew her history, was told by MPs not to appoint her, insisted on appointing her, and in her first interview the Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission has ignored super clear and explicit human rights law that trans people are not a third sex. What a disgrace.

@scottishgreens.org MSP @maggiechapman.bsky.social has welcomed the support of two former First Ministers who have joined her call for justice for anti- #ArmsTrade campaigners on #HungerStrike. Maggie is urging other MSPs to back her calls #HumzaYousaf #NicolaSturgeon greens.scot/news/former-...

Disappointing response from the Minister when I raised in Parliament my constituents experiences of access to legal aid.
