It's a privilege to be the first female MSP elected to the Scottish Parliament from an Indian background.
Thank you to everyone who's supported me. Can't wait to get to work for the people of the West of Scotland.
Far too many people become victims of domestic abuse. In the last year there were around 62,000 reported incidents in Scotland.
That’s why I am proposing the introduction of a Domestic Abuse Offender’s Register to protect potential victims.
Nearly a quarter of local authorities built no new houses in the past year amid the ongoing housing crisis.
This is shocking and further proves the SNP Government has entirely lost its grip on the issue 👇

A fantastic first Conference speech from
@RussellFindlay1
as leader of the Scottish Conservatives.
Russell is right, people across Scotland are crying out for a bit of common sense from their politicians - and the
@ScotTories
will be the ones to deliver it.

Russell ran a positive campaign, and I am certain that he will unite the party and be a strong voice against both the SNP and Labour. 💪
Today marks the last day before the reintroduction of peak rail fares despite a majority against it in Parliament.
The SNP Government has pushed through these higher prices which will detrimentally impact commuters and businesses across Scotland 👇
Every 9 minutes a potential victim of domestic abuse is in need of assistance. ❤️🩹
I have called for the expansion of training so that all frontline workers spot incidents of domestic abuse.
That is why today I asked the FM if he will consider such a proposal.👇
Sitting in the Chamber during
#FMQs
and
@Douglas4Moray
is absolutely right:
•Police officer numbers have dropped
•Prisoners released early en masse
•Prisons are overfilled.
Shona Robison and the SNP will blame everyone but themselves for the Scottish Government’s spending gap.
In reality it’s a serious case of financial mismanagement by the failing SNP government👇
I’m pleased to see Police Scotland come to grips with common sense.
But everyone will remember the dangerous approach they took to gender during the Isla Bryson scandal…
This announcement is a belated victory for common sense and must be embedded in Police Scotland, the wider justice system, and all public bodies.
The safety and protection of women and the safeguarding of single-sex spaces must always come first.
Fantastic evening at the
@NatureofScot
Awards Shortlist Reception with
@PamGosalMSP
and Alexander Stewart MSP.
Huge congratulations to all the finalists and good luck for the awards show later this year.

The SNP Government is considering a new tax to pay for cladding repairs.
This is after it spent almost all of £97 million it had been given by Westminster to fix cladding on other things 👇
The SNP Government released almost 500 prisoners early without properly notifying all but 20 of their victims.
Not just does the early release scheme underline the SNP’s soft touch on crime, it also makes their indifference to victims plainly clear 👇
