👏 This is what the devolved social security system should be about - material differences that will improve people's lives
📊 11% of children in West Dunbartonshire live in a family affected by the two-child limit. I'm glad that's finally going to be addressed.

Good to be with @scottishgreens.org and the local community at Holyrood for the #SaveLochLomond rally.
This place means the world to so many. It deserves protection, not some resort.
People power stopped this before. We can do it again.

Glad to see @markruskell.bsky.social lodge his bill to ban greyhound racing for good in Scotland
There's only 9 countries in the world that still allow commercial greyhound racing - if passed, Scotland would join Wales in removing ourselves from that list.

The Scottish Government have confirmed the concessionary ferry vouchers extension, secured and announced by Patrick Harvie when a minister, will finally go ahead in June
Whilst scaled back, it's a further enhancement to the travel benefits young Scots get thanks to @scottishgreens.org
