- The moment Yvette Cooper was picked to be Home Secretary I knew it was to build a narrative on immigration that would make Theresa May take pause
- An open letter to the First Minister from Scotland's businesses with concerns about the Supreme Court judgement and lack of clarity. If you are a business owner get your name down, if you know any get in touch with them. lettertothefm.notion.site/Letter-to-th...
- Here for a national memorial day and a monument
- I promise you, polician or activist who is considering complaining about not being able to march under a party political banner at pride, that you will get better PR for accepting the decision and marching anyway as a community member than you will trying to bully pride organisers into feeling bad
- The anti-immigration White Paper is a display, to me, that Starmer and his team are not simply incompetents drifting in the wind of public opinion. They, like the Tories, are choosing to shape public opinion - They are choosing to weaponise rhetoric and narrative to make immigrants the enemy.
- Starmer's "island of strangers" line tells me one thing. Keir Starmer is a racist.
- I honestly don't understand Labour Party Members anymore. Your leadership is inflicting suffering on disabled people, immigrants, refugees, the LGBTQ+ community. Your votes at conference are meaningless as your leaders simply ignore them. Candidates are chosen for you. What is the point?
- The SNP have a very easy path to indicate that they haven't simply abandoned trans people would be to put a relatively small amount of cash into trans healthcare to dramatically cut wait times
- Starmer has a choice between the entire UK cultural industry or US tech megacorps. It's that simple www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

- This is as bad as the US Congressional Ban, something many people in the parties who participated in this decision decried as being spiteful and cruel. Where are those same people standing up and pointing out that here, in Scotland, in the UK, things are as bad as the worst the US has to offer?
- This is happening under the SNP's watch, under Labour's watch. We don't even need to have a Conservative Government in power to watch our society slide towards becoming the most hostile anti-LGBTQ+ political system in the West.
