If you think that Scotland’s alcohol deaths are because of cost or will be resolved by increasing alcohol cost then you don’t understand the complexity of alcohol misuse and alcohol related deaths. The root cause of these deaths are not cost.

It’s International School Meals Day‼️ I am asking all MSPs to support @STUCwomen #FoodForThought Campaign to expand universal free school meals to all. Hunger & poverty related stigma and shame knows no age boundaries. Support the call, expand universal school meals to all💪🍎

Honestly the comments & ignorance (mostly from men) I've had since this tweet/challenging the UEFA fan zone has exposed how much work we need to do to on Equality. Things worth fighting for are never easy. Makes us more determined to keep challenging & winning✊💪🌈

Hi @GlasgowEURO2020 - I can't believe we are a host city & cannot provide one sanitary bin or products for women who are at the fan zone. Extremely disappointing for a country that has just passed a bill on period provision/products & wants to be a world leader. Plz address👍

As we reach level 0 I think my best lockdown moment/memory was my ex neighbour grassing me in to the police for a solo sober party with my strobe lights, dance mat and home DJ set. Great for the future historians I think.

BIG week ahead for equality. Let's make history Scotland❤️🤍please support the bill. No one should be at an economic deficit because of a biological process. Periods aren't a luxury&we shouldn't be made to feel ashamed! Smash the stigma & end period poverty✊ #freeperiodproducts

Honestly the checkout workers in Aldi are pure rapid. I can't keep up with them swiping ma shopping. Get them seconded to the government & we’d have the whole country tested for COVID in 24hrs👀

“Trade Unions and the strikes are ruining Christmas.” Fact-check: without the trade unions there wouldn’t be a Christmas holiday in the first place. Strikes are last resorts. Value workers. Support their fight. #JoinAUnion & support workers’ this Christmas, & always.

The sign I held up said #CeasefireNow but there was a pan out. I won’t back down on that. Folk music is protest. What else could it be?
