Congratulations to @HumzaYousaf - the first First Minister of an ethnic minority background is a significant moment for Scotland. The SNP do not have the answers on the NHS or on the cost of living crisis. Only Labour can provide the change that Scotland needs.

It’s okay to talk about your mental health until your mental health causes terrifying symptoms that makes everyone uncomfortable and thus means people don’t want to associate with you, that’s what a lot of these “it’s okay to talk” campaigns mean

I would never, ever discourage anyone from talking and reaching out and not suffering alone because having people who support you around you can make a world of difference, but we NEED to remember that mental illness isn’t just mild depression and anxiety, it’s a huge range

It’s okay to talk about until you’re trying to explain the periods of life you’ve had where you’ve wiped your entire phone, used anonymous browsers, jumped at the phone and doorbells being convinced the police are out to get you for crimes you’re convinced you’ve committed

This is not true! 52.5% of voters in Hartlepool voted for the Labour party in 2017. The desire to scrub the 2017 election from history - rather than say 'ok, it wasn't enough to win, but Labour made progress we should learn from' - is the party's biggest act of self-harm.
