I was tortured as a child because I was gay. Humiliated. Punished. Threatened. Denied healthcare. I very nearly died.
If the Scottish Government are too afraid of the SNP right-wing to ban conversion therapy, spare us the bullshit excuses, do us the dignity of admitting it.

“Ministers have shelved plans to ban the abuse of LGBTQ people known as ‘conversion therapy.’ Their reason for doing so verges on dishonesty."

I’ve lodged an amendment to the Programme for Government calling for Scottish Child Payment to be increased to £55/week for all eligible children.
ScotGov currently provides £28.20 a week for eligible under 16s, and has only committed to increasing to £40 for children under one - it's not enough.🧵

Data centre developers are only the latest example of industry vested interests trying to tell government how they prefer to be regulated.
It's essential that the Scottish Government rejects their lobbying, and protects communities and the environment.

What makes a data centre 'green'? One major developer has lobbied for its own definition
The Scottish Government has been supportive of controversial green data centres and is liaising with the industry. But critics argue there are environmental considerations and companies must not be allowed to “write the rules”.

The SNP promised to expand the £2 bus fare cap in their first 100 days after the election. That deadline just passed.
In the Highlands & Islands the cap has already shown what's possible when we prioritise affordable public transport.
We can't allow progress to stall now.

Almost one year ago the Scottish Government supported Green proposals to boycott, divest from and sanction Israel. The vote passed in Parliament, a historic moment.
So why have Ministers not done a single thing to implement it?
