You know, there's something really dark as well about a deeply middle class Edinburgher accusing a Highlander who lived on her own from when she was 16 of having no life experience.

A graphic of First Minister of Scotland, John Swinney SNP MSP, when he attended Edinburgh Pride 2024 - as part of the End Conversion Practices bloc.

The text above includes highlighted sections of his quotes about why he backed the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill, which sought to simplify the process of obtaining a GRC.

The bottom left includes the logo for Out For Independence, the LGBTQIA+ affiliate wing of the SNP.

The text reads:

β€œI do not regret my support from the gender recognition reform bill”

β€œ[The Bill] was to try and improve the circumstances of a very small minority in our country, in the trans community, and to make life a bit easier for them.

That was the purpose of the legislation, and that was why I was happy to support it.”

We are disappointed, but unfortunately not surprised, to hear that Wes Streeting has met with and sympathised with the Bayswater Group as well as a number of other groups advocating for anti-LGBTQIA+ conversion practices.

We are disturbed by the fact that Wes Streeting and the UK Labour government have no intention of working positively or in good faith with any LGBTQIA+ groups; instead they choose to do the opposite.

It has been shown numerous times how the Bayswater Group have caused harm. As we have previously seen, via their work with Miriam Cates and the Conservative Government, they have worked to block any Conversion Practices ban.

It has been reported that trans young people met with Streeting, begging and pleading for there not to be a ban on puberty blockers but Streeting's actions have since proven his sympathies are with those seeking to cause us harm.

Whilst the UK Labour Government continues to work with these anti-trans hate groups, we have no faith that there will be a UK-wide trans-inclusive Conversion Practices Ban.

This follows on from Wes Streeting's work continuing the Conservatives' ban on puberty blockers, as well as his continued push to implement the fatally flawed Cass Review: a review which is also heavily influenced by groups advocating for conversion practices against queer people, and has been shown to ignore young trans people's voices.

Clearly, these are actions which both Cass and Streeting have in common. Therefore, we call on Wes Streeting to resign immediately as Secretary of State for Health and Social Care.

This is why King Charles really visited the Scottish food bank The visit is an emblem of the gulf between the image he intends to project and the reality of the people he rules over from a golden throne.

Charles could cover the entire costs of delivering that estimated cost of Trussell Trust food parcels for the entirety of Scotland for a year with just 1% of his wealth.

But he won’t, because he doesn’t truly care.

Speaking in Glasgow, Sarwar said the SNP should not see welfare as a "silver bullet" to eradicate child poverty.

He called for Swinney to address Scotland's housing emergency, clear NHS backlogs, improve school performance and invest in community policing.

He told BBC Scotland News: "They are continuing to pretend that just welfare is the route out of poverty.

"Actually, give children a home, a job, a well-paid job, skills, expertise, that's how you lift them out of poverty."

The man who has an exclusive veto over Holyrood - a Parliament he is NOT elected to NOR is accountable to - is the very same man who:

1. Can’t read an email properly,

2. Argued the public hate β€œhonesty” because we’re critical of his UK Gov’s many failures?
