"This is a small change that will transform lives and communities."
Thank you @CMonaghanSNP for using your Ten Minute Rule Bill yesterday to raise that it is time to #LiftTheBan and give people in the asylum system the right to work. https://twitter.com/RefugeeAction/status/1542170000127332359
“We must apply common-sense. There’s nothing controversial or unreasonable in the contents of the Bill”
@CMonaghanSNP used her Ten Minute Rule Bill today to highlight the practical, financial and moral arguments of giving people seeking asylum the right to work👏🏽
#LiftTheBan
I’ve never thought of myself as a nationalist, I would just like to live in an independent Scotland. #indyref2
Good grief. Read this thread. Glasgow auctioneers selling replica Nazi artefacts inc daggers and armbands. Stunned @McTears
I can sort of accept archival arguments for original artefacts, but selling reproduction Hitler youth DAGGERS @McTears ?
Really? Now? This would be illegal in Germany.
Their auction this week has plenty more of this stuff, too.
This lad will be voting #Yes on 19/10/2023.
An excellent speech from @ChrisStephens MP making a really timely point about vilification of striking workers. We must never return to the narrative that existed during the #miners’ strike but last week we saw it start up again with the @RMTunion @RMT_Scotland Don’t fall for it.
Great speech from SNP MP @OwenThompson in Westminster Hall in his debate calling for a UK wide enquiry into Miners’ Strike 1984-85. The Scottish Parliament passed Miners’ Strike Pardons Bill recently but there were key things they couldn’t investigate because UK govt ‘in charge’.

Neither the protestor nor the police should be put in this position. You cant stop someone making their voice heard just bec you don't like what they say. Except that's exactly what the UK Tory Govt IS doing. Steve Bray does not stop me working, leave him be. #ProtestIsARight
Part 1 The police are harassing hell out of this protest today.
Glasgow Ukrainians mark their constitution day in George Sq just a day or so after the Kremenchuk massacre- the latest & worst in a long line of atrocities committed by Putin’s Russian fascist regime’s invasion. Ukraine needs the means to fight to defend its land & people.
The news many if us have been holding our breath waiting for. A life saved by The Beatson. Brilliant news @JaneyGodley
The scan results are in - thanks to everyone who has supported me so far
We are having a referendum on the 19th of October 2023. We are going to win it.
The two principles behind #indyref2 - the rule of law and the rule of democracy. If the Supreme Court rules that the UK CAN legally prevent it, @theSNP will fight the next General Election on ONE question - should Scotland be an Independent country? Bravo @NicolaSturgeon
"Lawfulness or otherwise of the (#indyref) must be established as a matter of fact not opinion" says @NicolaSturgeon FM of Scotland as she tells Scottish Parliament she has asked the Lord Advocate to refer the matter to the Supreme Ct & she has agreed. Proposed date 19 Oct 2023.
Tearing mothers away from their children, thousands of miles away. Sounds about right for this government. Exhausted as everyone may be, keep sharing, keep supporting and keep fighting for people.
NEWS: A large number of Black Mothers and Grandmothers have been rounded up by Boris Johnson's Government for a mass expulsion flight to Nigeria + Ghana tomorrow. Women with children under 18 and Grandmothers who have lived in the UK for over 35 years.

As we enter another week of graduations, we're reflecting on last week's celebrations with Honorary Grads @CllrGrahamC and @SirGeoffPalmer. Sir Geoff received a Doctor of Letters (DLitt) & Cllr Campbell a Doctor of the University (DUniv). C. Welcome both to the alumni family!🎓❤️
Great to be able to attend the meeting between The Select Committee on Work & Pensions @CommonsWorkPen and Social Security Scotland in my constituency this morning. More of this (Glasgow meetings AND the ethos of @SocSecScot) please.
If this was INSTEAD of decent wages and conditions I would be sceptical but it's on top. Bravo.
This is a busy time of the year for colleagues at Timpson to get married, so it’s great to be able to give them an extra weeks holiday (fully paid), £100 towards the flowers, and provide a nice car and driver to be used on the special day.

David Lammy said he doesn't support strikes because he wants to win the election. Really doesn't sound like a Labour government are going to do much for workers...
It is Today!!!

I am an oncologist. I have had patients that needed to get an abortion to allow safe treatment of their cancer. Abortion absolutely is a part of healthcare.
Abortion is now illegal in Missouri.
No exceptions for rape or incest.
Right before I was elected, I met a pregnant 11 year old who has been raped by her uncle.
What about HER rights?
1/ Not too well & yesterday, brilliant as it was, took it out of me. So here are all the things I would've done today if I could've. Please try & support them ALL. First up @RMT_Scotland I am with you on the picket line in spirit & encourage everyone to read this explanation.

Springburn has had enough. One by one the banks deserted our community & now the DWP want to move hundreds of staff away. Yesterday small businesses told me how it will affect them. Today @ChrisStephens told the Tory govt.

@AnneMcLaughlin talks about the series of laws this Govt has introduced inc. the Borders, Elections & Policing Acts. "This is the cumulation of all of it...it's about removing everyone's human rights".
Martha of @libertyhq discussed this at our event: #PoliticsLive
Cuts out just before I mention #Independence. Obviously 🙂
📺 It was great to see @BBCNews feature @AnneMcLaughlin's reaction to the Deputy PM's statement on the atrocious #BillOfRights earlier today
"We have a tale of two countries - Scotland embedding #HumanRights into all of it's legislation and this Govt stripping it away...."
👀👇
The first page of the #RightsRemovalBill (ht @JoshuaRozenberg) gets straight to it.
Courts don't have to interpret other laws in a way that respects people's rights.
MPs decide which of us do and don't have rights.

First Minister @NicolaSturgeon is today travelling to Bellagio, Italy to attend the two-day Global Women Leaders' Summit, hosted by @giwps and @RockefellerFdn. Discussions will focus on protecting women’s rights, driving gender equality & tackling climate change. #Overdue4Equity
This tweet will amuse people in years to come, us folk in the old days with our strange ways, imagine 150 years till a woman held the role. Right now though, this is brilliant.
I’m delighted to announce i’ve been appointed Vice Chair of @thecockburn - the first woman to hold the role since the Association began in 1875! If you love Edinburgh and care about your public spaces come join us https://www.cockburnassociation.org.uk/

Too close for comfort this. I was in a debate about how they were removing rights of appeal from a particular legal system when an MP argued that 'surely if one judge says something, that should be it. Why do we even need the first appeal'. Not even kidding.

I tried for an Urgent Q today on the tagging of new asylum seekers. I didnt get one but let me ask YOU a question. Of the 7000 folk given bail from immigration detention last year, how many absconded? Bec the (as yet unknown) cost of tagging is apparently to tackle this problem.
If you can be there, please do this. It matters an awful lot to Sheku's family.
