2 years ago Scotland passed the Gender Recognition Reform Bill with an overwhelming and cross-party majority.

A Bill which would bring us in line with best practice around the world.

Labour must finally lift the Tory's anti-democratic veto and allow the Bill to proceed.

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

Electric shock collars are already banned in countries across Europe. Yet here in Scotland they continue to be used. There's simply no excuse for it.

Scottish Green MSPs are bringing a vote to the Scottish Parliament next week that will finally ban these cruel devices.

This gang of sex abusers preyed on young children in Walsall, and got away with it for years. What could possibly explain the failure by Nigel Farage, Elon Musk and the Tories to call for a public inquiry about it?

Boiling a living being alive is the epitome of cruelty. No meal justifies such barbarism. Science shows lobsters likely feel pain, yet some still choose torture for taste. Compassion costs nothing—choose humane methods or better yet, a kinder, plant-based alternative.

Clearly this is correct as far as it goes, but a) it’s not just Tories/Reform who are obsessed with immigration, is it, & b) whilst X is a cesspit, only today the BBC’s yet again vacuously counting small-boat arrivals, so
