Tomorrow the Scottish Conservatives will hold a vote on scrapping this bad SNP law that risks free speech.

A truly extraordinary report in today’s Sunday Mail which will have serious ramifications.

Two Police Scotland officers are suspected of leaking the names and photos of undercover officers who do vital and dangerous work tackling organised crime gangs:

The end is in sight for 20+ surviving victims of the Celtic Boys Club paedophile ring.

Celtic FC is finally willing to do the right thing after years of traumatic legal wrangling.

The victims also deserve an apology. The Times and The Sunday Times Scotland exclusive 👇

The Cass Review is forensic, shocking and heartbreaking:

Vulnerable children betrayed by an NHS captured by transgender ideology.

The SNP can no longer ignore the evidence - children in Scotland must also be protected.

I submitted this motion to parliament about the murder of Emma Caldwell. 👇

It summarises the many catastrophic failings and pays tribute to Emma’s family and others who fought for justice.

Extremely grateful to all MSPs who have signed.

Police Scotland say this vile antisemitic image is NOT a hate crime under Humza Yousaf’s new law because the complainer is not Jewish.

Allegedly posted by an SNP minister’s relative, police must think again.

JK Rowling today described by some columnists as “gratuitously cruel”, peddling “anti trans commentary” and who should ”merely be pitied”.

Non-irony Humza Yousaf accuses her of “spreading disinformation” over his hate crime law.

A more realistic take👇

My take on how Anas Sarwar’s Scottish Labour backed the SNP (as they so often do) by voting for Humza Yousaf’s hate crime law .👇

Only the Scottish Conservatives can be trusted to stand up to the nationalists.

Police Scotland confirm that JK Rowling calling rapist Isla Bryson a man is not a hate crime.

Nicola Sturgeon refused to say if Bryson is a man or a woman and Humza Yousaf says he’s “at it”.

So why should prison staff and inmates be denied the same right to speak the truth?

Police are unprepared for Humza Yousaf’s hate crime law that will be weaponised by activists and threatens free speech.

Yet the SNP government is spending public money on this sinister campaign urging people to snitch, thereby fuelling complaints 👇

Proud to join my former STV News journalist colleagues who are on strike today.

Scotland desperately needs a vibrant and diverse media. It’s in everyone’s interest to settle this dispute quickly and fairly.

Being pro-nuclear is to be pro-environment.

Yet the SNP and their Green bosses reject all new nuclear energy for Scotland - and the thousands of well-paid, skilled jobs this would create. 👇

🔻£97m ferries cost £400m and 6+ years late, betraying islanders - no SNP sackings.
🔻Contract awarded in corrupt process - no SNP sackings.
🔻Fake launch by Nicola Sturgeon cost taxpayers millions - no SNP sackings.

🚫Yard boss tells the truth - sacked.

1. MSP Murdo Fraser expresses an opinion about SNP gender policy.

2. He is reported to police, but Police Scotland don’t tell him.

3. Police formally record a ‘hate incident’, but again don’t tell him.

Still unconcerned about Humza Yousaf’s hate crime law ?

My colleague Pam Gosal’s new domestic violence policy paper has attracted widespread support.

To appreciate the gulf between the criminal justice system’s PR and the reality for victims, Disclosure: Surviving Domestic Abuse is a must-watch (on BBC iPlayer).
