The best trade deal we'll EVER have is right here on our doorstep. We need to #RejoinEU asap, and vote out any party or politician that keeps us in the failure that is #Brexit.

The UK is worse off than in January with this agreement. My op ed for @lbc.co.uk
‘These tariffs are nothing short of a bullying tool to force the UK to kowtow to Trump’s America First agenda – which Keir Starmer has done by signing off this agreement with the US.’

The US-UK trade agreement is a capitulation to Trump’s extortion
Keir Starmer has sold out the British public with this US-UK deal, agreed with no democratic scrutiny or accountability on its terms by the British parliament or civil society.

UCU stands with trans people, today and every day.
The Supreme Court ruling is not just wrong, it’s dangerous.
We will never stop fighting for trans rights and equality.

Trans women have always coexisted amongst the rest of society.
The narrative that the Supreme Court ruling is about women being unsafe due to trans women is misleading. There is no data which proves trans women pose a safety threat to women. It is a media narrative and it is false.

The Supreme Court sided with FWS.
But it didn’t hear from a single trans person.
This ruling sets a dangerous precedent and erases trans women from protections. It puts trans rights back 20 years.

In the 80 years since 1945, Scotland has endured 22 UK General Elections at Westminster, leading to UK Governments for:
12 Tory
12 Prime Ministers
10 Labour
6 Prime Ministers
Only ONCE did Scotland’s vote decide the outcome (Labour).
It's England that decides who runs the Union.

After months of collective punishment and the death of over 40,000 in Gaza, any suggestion Palestinians should be removed from their home is unacceptable and dangerous.
There must be no ethnic cleansing.
Only a proper two state solution will bring lasting peace.

The Scottish Parliament has just voted to pass the SNP Government's budget at stage one.
Our budget includes a record £21 billion for the NHS and scraps Labour's two-child cap.
The only parties not to vote for these policies were Labour and the Tories.

🏴 Delighted that our Budget has passed stage 1 at the Scottish Parliament - a step closer to delivering a winter heating payment for pensioners, scrapping the two-child cap and tackling NHS waiting lists.
While Labour and Tories refused to vote for it, we’re working to deliver progress.

Keir Starmer isn't a leader.
He's the front man for a faction who think he's useless, and who themselves have no meaningful vision of any description.
