I feel like at this point my personality is almost entirely political podcasts, aperols and being a dog mum.

Gavin and Stacy ended so perfectly. Sometimes we need a good Christmas cry.

Anas Sarwar said he’d deliver the justice #Waspi women deserve

👉 paid less than their male counterparts
👉 forced to resign when they had kids
👉 winter fuel payment removed
👉 not informed timeously of pension age changes

Is this the justice 1950s born women deserve?

✍️ My column in the Daily Record outlines my support for assisted dying, as a disabled woman.

There has been a lot of discourse and impassioned debate on this topic. So here are my thoughts, having worked extensively on this topic at Westminster 👇

The @thesnp.bsky.social budget is a bread and butter budget. Exactly what I'd expect from @johnswinney.bsky.social - I am seriously impressed.

Spotify wrapped and the budget all in one day - my head is like 🤯

This should be an absolute source of shame for us as a country, far too many of our fellow people are desperately trying to survive in a rich nation.
On the streets of Liverpool, there is a humanitarian crisis

A perfect storm of problems means more and more people are finding themselves homeless & sleeping rough & it’s getting worse - it’s a situation playing out across the country

A difficult 🧵 on what I’ve found reporting on this situation

Gosal wanting to impose one version of being human on our children. This is conservatism. Oppression of minorities, sexuality, difference. She does NOT speak for East Dunbartonshire... just her own bigotry.
Absolutely fucking *livid* about this. My kid goes to one of these schools, along with a kid who has two dads. We’re not a fucking ideology, we’re parents.

There *is* an ideological problem in those schools; it’s right-wing edgelord shit from social media parroted by ten and eleven-year-old boys.

😅 And that’s the final weekend of the campaign done (for 3/4 of our by-elections)!

Our teams have been out all weekend earning every single vote.

Your vote really matters in these by-elections. Please remember to vote SNP this Thursday 21st November 🗳️

Meet Alfie 🐶 he's 11 and quite grumpy, although looks like he's smiling in this photo 🙂

Well this is odd: the new Treasury select committee doesn't have any MPs from Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, and is dominated by MPs from London and the south east. Just one from northern England (Darlington).

This is not representative

📈 Scotland has seen the second highest growth in employment in the UK this month.

🇪🇺 We were second only to Northern Ireland - which unlike Scotland, has access to the EU single market.

Trying this out for size, given the toxicity of the other place.

I mainly talk about politics. So follow if you want to keep up with that 🙂
