Kate Forbes has made some outstanding history today. In the face of crisis she stepped up to the plate and become the first woman to the deliver a budget in the history of the Scottish Parliament. A masterclass of leadership and resilience.

I guess we're just being openly homophobic now on twitter with no repercussions.

It's called defending Scottish democracy. Any SNP MP should be able to understand at least that.

@AnnieWellsMSP You're former boss shows more respect and compassion to your colleagues than you do. Is this genuinely how you want to start the term? Pissing on young, new, working class MSPs?

@Emma_Roddick I had the same issue when I was first elected and the admin team at HR were very willing and able to help.

Totally normal reaction to us asking how candidates will be supporting LGBTQ+ rights.

@zarahsultana If you could let your party leader and shadow secretary of state know that, that would be great.

Somehow, I don't think attacking and trying to defund yet another LGBTQ+ organisation for exercising free speech is a particularly good look when you're trying to also pretend that you're not a transphobe.

If you're going to honestly believe that celebrating your team winning is more appropriate and important than stopping a deportation, then I honestly don't have anything to say to you.

Nicola is simply the best there is and will be for some time. I'm devastated. No politician has had a greater impact on my life than Nicola Sturgeon. Principled, kind, and a champion of Scotland.

Nicola Sturgeon Electoral History as SNP Leader: GE2015: 50.0% (1st) SP2016: 46.5% (1st) GE2017: 36.9% (1st) EU2019: 37.8% (1st) GE2019: 45.0% (1st) SP2021: 47.7% (1st) Love or loathe her, an absolutely stunning record.

Weirdest attack line I've seen in a long time. Yesterday Humza was in Hamilton for its first ever Pride. There are lots of nice things about Hamilton however a "tourist spot" it is not.

Pretty shameful most broadcasters have refused to cover Edinburgh pride despite the FM and reps from multiple parties standing in support and solidarity with the entire LGBTQ community yet when a billionaire writes a column, that somehow constitutes national news
