This is a cross party statement in solidarity with @greenpartyhan.bsky.social after what happened this weekend.

Thanks to all the LGBT and Feminist organisations within all the respective parties for signing this, and it was amazing working with you all.

The decline of common decency, fairness, and justice in our politics is sad to see.

However, if we come together, we can fight it and build something better.

Windfall tax retains the support of the Scottish public, new poll finds

The windfall tax 'retains the support of the public', after a new poll found twice as many people support it than oppose the concept

That's fine. Communities don't need to own any of the energy projects, we can just allow multi-national corporations extract the renewable energy from Scotland.

Communities need a party that stands up for them, not the energy giants.

I hope Hannah Spencer MP is feeling alright. After the horrendous incident she experienced earlier today, I trust she is getting the support she needs.

Know that you’re appreciated by someone every day of the year.

Kate speaking in front of a mural 'Scotland Stands With The People Of Iran'

On Sunday I helped unveil an inspiring Women Life Freedom mural in Edinburgh, honouring the courage of the Iranian people who have stood up against decades of mass arrests, killings, censorship and repression by a brutal regime.

A painful reminder of what relying on fossil fuels means. Full stop.

We need to use clean alternatives and to decouple our energy costs from this price-volatile resource.

Brewdog: Bars close and hundreds lose jobs as beer firm sold in Β£33m deal Beverage and cannabis company Tilray acquires the Aberdeenshire brewery, the brand and 11 bars for Β£33m.

Brewdog has treated its staff appallingly. Those who have lost their jobs need our solidarity and support at a difficult time.

I hope the new owners change course and employees get the respect they deserve.

Legalising and regulating drugs is about reducing the harm and deaths caused by drug use, and treating addicts rather than criminalsing them. It is appalling that Labour and Reform are playing politics with people's lives.

Reform would create ICE-style agency and end leave to remain, Zia Yusuf to say Nigel Farage’s party plans to deport up to 288,000 people a year on five flights a day and expand stop and search

Mass deportations and stirring up hate doesn't make anyone "feel safe".

Obviously, I won’t be commenting on any live police investigations. Important people are aware that there are restrictions in place on what can be said about these things.

However, I can say that I wish Virginia Giuffre were alive to see today’s news.

Gisèle Pelicot (and Simone Biles) really are such incredible women.

To go through everything Gisèle has gone through and to still be standing strong. An inspiration.

However, it is great to see and hear about the enthusiasm of new members as well as old friends. Hopefully, I’ll be able to campaign sometime soon.

Some wind farms falling short on community payments are owned by international finance firms.

One is backed by a fund managed by US asset management giant BlackRock. Another traces its ultimate ownership to the Cayman Islands.

This is what gets to me all the time. Many women are killed by cis men they know but all the focus from politicians and media is on trans people just trying to live their lives

Maybe we should focus on the real issues
