📍QEUH now. 40 Days for Life begins tomo and we are expecting a surge of activity until November. The gov should have taken on this bill years ago and we’d have buffer zones by now. It’s not right that the women of 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 are the last in the UK to be afforded these protections.

This is a really important bill and I am proud to have the support of the First Minister and the Scottish Government. Abortion rights are human rights, and far too many people have been targeted and intimidated by these appalling protests. My bill will stop them for good.

The UK Government's new asylum plan is a disaster, avoiding responsibilities and punishing people fleeing conflict and persecution. The PM must clean up the mess made by the Home Secretary and her predecessor and create safe routes. More here: amn.st/60183IFaM

let us be clear: this is a fascistic attack on decency and fundamental human rights that must be resisted in the strongest possible terms.
If you come to the UK illegally: ➡️ You can’t claim asylum ➡️ You can’t benefit from our modern slavery protections ➡️ You can’t make spurious human rights claims ➡️ You can’t stay

A lot of people have asked me my views of the leadership contest. Truthfully, I have been incredibly hurt so far. Hurt originating with the statements @_KateForbes has made and since stood by. I, like most people in Scotland, could not care less about someone’s religion. (1/10)

UofG students please support this campaign!! The current rate of growth is unsustainable and already having a negative impact on students!
The SRC is demanding that @UofGlasgow commit to a cap on student numbers until 2027. The SRC has 4 demands: 🔵 CAP STUDENT NUMBERS NOW 🔴 REVIEW YOUR POLICIES 🔵 SUPPORT EXISTING STUDENTS 🔴 INCLUDE STUDENT VOICES youtu.be/bYKaUmnrnP4 #CapStudentNumbersNow

The climate crisis is here.
On the left is a 2020 Met Office prediction of what a 2050 summer heatwave could look like. On the right is a BBC weather forecast made this morning, for this coming Tuesday. The Climate Crisis is real and it's happening now. Wake the f**k up.
