Of all the abuse Nicola Sturgeon receives from trolls this is possibly the most vile.
Unsurprisingly it comes from one of the founders of the so called ‘LGB Alliance.’
I can’t imagine how foul anyone must be to questions a woman’s experience of miscarriage & the pain it caused.

This afternoon I'll be leading a debate on the call for public ownership of bus services.
It says a lot that those who want to keep public transport in their own hands, generating profit for themselves, have nothing to offer except childish name calling.

Bus boss tells MSP to 'get on his bike and leave transport to the adults'

While child poverty rose in the UK, in Scotland it fell by 12% since 2017.
We must go even further. To give every child the best start in life, we’re taking real action:
✅ Delivering the Scottish Child Payment
✅ Expanding free school meals
✅ Ending the two-child cap

Ain't it odd how opponents of independence assume that their own lack of respect for democracy must extend to indy supporters? Weird.
If the referendum had turned out Yes, but polls showed today ppl preferred the union, would you hold another?
No, I thought not.
