Male pupils “waving sanitary products like flags … and spotted urinating in sanitary bins at the school”. “Girls avoiding going to the toilet because of their unease at sharing the unisex loos installed there”. This is not ok. Not now. Not ever.

The fact that women, on this issue above all, should ever be pressured or coerced to vote against their conscience, and in some cases no doubt personal experience, is repugnant and in itself a denial of

Have you no self-awareness, Sir Nicholas?🤷🏽♀️ It was pretty rough, coarse and unpleasant when you said “woof woof” to me in the Chamber. You have left Westminster of your own accord, but women are literally being driven away from representative politics. Deeply perplexing indeed.
"It's become a rougher, coarser place... it's got very unpleasant"
Sir Nicholas Soames tells
@BBCLauraK
his grandfather, Winston Churchill, would be "deeply perplexed" by the state of British politics, as he leaves Westminster after 37 years as a Tory MP
To be clear, does this mean sharing toilets with women is ok, but sharing corridors with women isn’t?
“Green MSPs raise 'concerns' about sharing corridor with Ash Regan”

Actually, I was returning these pictured sling-backs for repair. I bought them several years ago and paid for them myself. How utterly disgraceful it is for this publication to be stalking women in this fashion. No wonder women in public life fear for their privacy & safety.

this evening. This virus has taken 3 beloved family members from us in 3 months. It is utterly devastating. The virus got to them before the vaccine could, and we are heartbroken. It’s just so sad

We have just lost both my father-in-law and my Aunty. The sheer pain and heartache of not being able to see, touch and comfort is unbearable for the whole family.

“In an interview with The Times, Sturgeon refused to define the word ‘woman’”- Why? How can politicians legislate for us if they won’t say who and what, we biologically are? Talk of ‘sexism’ and ‘misogyny’ is hot air if you don’t know what a woman is.

Research suggests that children as young as 2 recognise their trans identity. Yet, many nurseries and schools teach a binary understanding of pre-assigned gender.
LGBTQ-inclusive and affirming education is crucial for the wellbeing of all young people! 🌈

Alex Salmond - “In Scotland in particular the sound of silence is deafening. Most Scots now back an elected head of state for an independent country and many people, including myself, will find better things to do next weekend than watching the British establishment on parade.”

about reform of the GRA. . Our Women and Equalities policy is clear and recent polling demonstrates it reflects the on-ground position.
Well, I was Scotland’s first woman of colour elected to Parliament, but it didn’t stop you trying (and failing) to ridicule me by tweeting old photos. Practice what you preach.
This is where Scottish politics is in 2003, our first Asian heritage Prime Minister being depicted in this way. More than a little distasteful
@AlbaParty
This, from an elected politician, is quite despicable. This is why, world-over, we should be so wary of the election of representatives who pander to right wing extremists. Don’t vote for them. Ever.

The use of dangerous and irresponsible language by those in power, has a direct impact on how Muslim women are perceived and treated. Words matter. If racism, bigotry and prejudice continues to be brushed aside and normalised, it will know no bounds. It must stop. Stop it.
With his important place in history secure, I sense that future generations will be kind to John Bercow, that with the benefit of hindsight & objective distance, his crucial contribution in protecting democracy will be celebrated & admired.

Dear Independence Movement
You are urgently required to lead the way where others have lost theirs.
Direct every indy supporting party to be clear that every vote for them is a vote for independence.
That is the mandate we need. A mandate to negotiate.
Nothing less.
Watching Ireland take its place in the world should be a massive wake up call to Scots. In the absence of the EU as a geopolitical anchor, how will we take our place on the world stage & reassert our sovereignty in the face of political attacks from WM?
