I feel like at this point my personality is almost entirely political podcasts, aperols and being a dog mum.

Gavin and Stacy ended so perfectly. Sometimes we need a good Christmas cry.

Anas Sarwar said he’d deliver the justice #Waspi women deserve

πŸ‘‰ paid less than their male counterparts
πŸ‘‰ forced to resign when they had kids
πŸ‘‰ winter fuel payment removed
πŸ‘‰ not informed timeously of pension age changes

Is this the justice 1950s born women deserve?

✍️ My column in the Daily Record outlines my support for assisted dying, as a disabled woman.

There has been a lot of discourse and impassioned debate on this topic. So here are my thoughts, having worked extensively on this topic at Westminster πŸ‘‡

The @thesnp.bsky.social budget is a bread and butter budget. Exactly what I'd expect from @johnswinney.bsky.social - I am seriously impressed.

Ohhh good question! I think both caught me a little off guard.

VERY impressed with the budget. Sabrina Carpenter not being in my top 5 on Spotify shocked me.

This should be an absolute source of shame for us as a country, far too many of our fellow people are desperately trying to survive in a rich nation.

Gosal wanting to impose one version of being human on our children. This is conservatism. Oppression of minorities, sexuality, difference. She does NOT speak for East Dunbartonshire... just her own bigotry.

Treasury Committee - Membership - Committees - UK Parliament Committee membership for the Treasury Committee.

Well this is odd: the new Treasury select committee doesn't have any MPs from Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, and is dominated by MPs from London and the south east. Just one from northern England (Darlington).

This is not representative

πŸ“ˆ Scotland has seen the second highest growth in employment in the UK this month.

πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί We were second only to Northern Ireland - which unlike Scotland, has access to the EU single market.

Trying this out for size, given the toxicity of the other place.

I mainly talk about politics. So follow if you want to keep up with that πŸ™‚
