I Swear is a beautiful and moving film that depicts the struggles facing those with Tourette’s. It’s a must watch. I am honoured to lead a debate on Tourette’s in Holyrood on Thursday to push to secure more support for those suffering with this condition.

Children and families are being gaslit on an epic scale. Tens of thousands of children have been abandoned on neurodevelopmental waiting lists by the SNP Scottish Government at the most important time in their lives. Instead of fixing children’s mental health services the SNP

40% of school pupils require additional support for learning, but the SNP refuse to properly fund it. They are failing Scotland’s children.

Children with disabilities are being hurt behind policies that discriminate, too many are told to stay silent, while others cannot speak to tell. That doesn’t mean nothing happened! #HarrysLaw

I was honoured to deliver my speech on Tourette's in Holyrood on Thursday. Those with Tourette's are not asking for a utopia - they are simply asking for the support and investment necessary to allow them to thrive. I hope the Scottish Government answer this call.

The worst part? The teacher admitted that when they say “warmly protect”… they mean restraint. That’s horrifying. If you can’t even name the practice, how can you safeguard children or record it properly? No more fluffy language. Call it what it is. #CalumsLaw #HarrysLaw

A 4 yr old autistic girl with the mental age of 14 months shoved in "the blue room" alone. Staff watched and if she dared get off the bench she was made to sit on, she was forced to do another ten minutes!!! This is in a Scottish School, but they called it "time out" #CalumsLaw
