The Right to Addiction Recovery (Scotland) Bill is not only for people affected by drugs. It’s for people affected by alcohol too. When John Swinney and his ministers read the Bill I hope they’ll understand this. Everyone impacted by substance use must have their rights realised.

Almost unbearable reading Loung Ung 2nd book. The dreadful things happening in in my lifetime are hard to read. I've been to cambodia a few times, it's such a beautiful country and Loung's books bring a different, unimaginable, dimension.

So, I am now shamelessly looking for votes. Whoever nominated me, know that you have awakened competitiveness I didn't know I had.....

People call autism a β€˜superpower’ when I actually think it would be a superpower to be able to know I am hungry, to recognise facial expressions, to know when it is my turn to speak in a conversation, and to not have meltdowns every time my routine changes a tiny little bit.

As benefits fraud is in the news, just a reminder 0.2% of PIP claimants are fraudulent.

That is an incredibly low number.

Minuscule.

Benefits fraud isn't a problem in this country.

The government's framing of benefits claimants as fraudulent is the true crime here.

All necessary and unsurprising actions. BUT - I'm concerned at the lack of preparation we have done with communities to enable their trust and acceptance of how these measures will affect their perceptions of safety.
