2.5 million soldiers from Pakistan, India & across the sub-continent helped defeat fascism as part of the British Indian Army during World War II. Almost 90,000 were killed. Let's ensure we don't forget their immense contribution as we commemorate the 80th Anniversary of VE Day.

The late Pope Francis requested that his popemobile be turned into a health clinic for the children of Gaza, as his legacy of peace continues to shine in our conflict-ridden world. loom.ly/ltjW38Q

There must be no illegal occupation of Gaza. These reports would lead to more deaths across the region. The people of Gaza are being starved of food, water and humanitarian aid. The world needs to enable lasting peace with a sovereign Palestine in a two state solution.

While the self-styled "most moral army in the world" kills Gaza's babies & pregnant mothers, they blow up Gaza's buildings for their own gender reveals. The world watches on as Gaza starves in front of our eyes. To the people of Gaza. I am sorry we have failed you so badly.

Strong Programme for Government from John Swinney this afternoon. With a focus on deliverable action that will make a tangible difference to the people of Scotland. Although frustrating that the Scottish Government, once again, has to mitigate the damage done by Westminster.

We cannot stand by while children are starving and dying. The ongoing Israeli blockade is having a devastating impact on the people of Gaza. The world must do more.

Joint statement from🇮🇪🇪🇸🇸🇮🇱🇺🇮🇸🇳🇴: We express our grave concern about the reported Israeli plans to expand military operations in Gaza. Any scheme that facilitates the permanent displacement of Gaza’s population would be in violation of international law. regjeringen.no/no/aktuelt/joi…

Former Taoiseach of Ireland Leo Varadkar and I have written to PM Modi & PM Sharif urging de-escalation in India & Pakistan. Diplomacy & dialogue, not bombs will see peace prevail. Political leaders in the UK must ensure we do not inflame tensions but contribute towards peace.

So many sacrificed their lives, not only for our freedoms, but to defeat Hitler's racist ideology. Not only will we remember their sacrifices, for that is the least we can do, we will also honour them by standing against far-right fascism as it rears its ugly head once again.

While a ceasefire is welcome news, there needs to be an honest attempt to resolve the issue of Kashmir within the framework of agreed UN resolutions. Pakistanis & Indians have so much shared history and culture. Let's ensure we do not let the actions of extremists divide us.

The Prime Minister’s statement on immigration today will damage our economy, the NHS, social care and our universities. It ignores the need to boost Scotland’s working age population. This sort of divisive language only plays into Nigel Farage’s hands. Not in Scotland’s name.

What have immigrants ever done for us? Coming to our country...creating jobs, staffing the NHS, winning Olympic gold medals, adding £bns to our economy. When will Labour learn that you can not out-Farage, Nigel Farage? Labour should stop punching down and start growing up.

A clip from my speech last Wednesday. We are proud of our diverse communities who chose to make Scotland their home. And unlike Labour, the SNP will never imitate Nigel Farage. We will confront him, and we will defeat him.

So, for those killed and those whose voices are silenced: what more evidence do you need? Will you act now – decisively – to prevent genocide in Gaza and to ensure respect for international humanitarian law? This Council must prevail. Demand this ends.

What’s unfolding is not a tragedy we couldn’t stop. It is one the world is watching, excusing, and slowly learning to live with.

57 children have been killed in the last ten weeks, from the effects of malnutrition, as a result of the Israeli blockade of Gaza. The slaughter and starvation of children in front of our very eyes. What red lines are left to cross? This inhumanity must end, and end now.

We do not deserve to be forgiven for allowing this genocide to continue with impunity. Shame on all of those who are complicit.

Demanding an end to the killing of children in Gaza does not make you antisemitic. It does not make you a supporter of Hamas. It simply makes you human. Don't be silent. Don't be complicit. Demand an end to the bloodshed and blockade of Gaza.
