On the march with trade unionists, campaigners and colleagues to support @UniteScotland and @GrangemouthJobs This is the exact opposite of a just and fair transition for workers. We all need to pull together if we are to ensure a secure, sustainable and prosperous future.

Following reports that a far right rally is planned for Glasgow, I have written to all Glasgow MSPs to begin dialogue about a united response. Whatever else we disagree about - and there's a lot - we must stand firm together against the far right threat.

The principal founder of the @scottishgreens Leslie Spoor was there at the Battle of Cable Street in 1936. Before he died he spoke to me about the importance of standing up against fascism now and always 💚 ✊ #NaePasaran

A reminder of the Battle of Cable Street in 1936 when over 100,000 people stood up against Union Jack waving fascists posing as patriots.

Delighted to publish our new report with @MazzucatoM and @IIPP_UCL outlining a new mission-oriented industrial strategy for Scotland We argue that Scotland must embrace a more proactive, market-shaping role for the state - or risk being left behind 🧵

I’m 6ft 1in. My voice is deep and I’m infertile. I’m a size 14/16 and I’ve got my dad’s jawline. Here’s me on how I’m probably one week away from not being a woman according to gender critical’s totally loopy standards 🙄

People are alive and well today thanks to Wales’ default 20mph limit. It’s time for Scotland to complete our 20mph roll out and save lives.

Contrast the treatment by St Andrews University of Stella Maris, now dismissed from the governing body for speaking out against genocide in Gaza, with its refusal to sack Bob Lambert after his cruel and monstrous #spycops deceptions were revealed.

This is really positive news. @MarkRuskell did a lot of work around a 20mph limit, which was included in the now-defunct Bute House Agreement. Data from Wales suggests that road safety has improved significantly. Scotland should move to implement this policy as soon as possible.
