My UK House of Commons diary from last week focused on the UQ on the humanitarian situation in Gaza, the safety of the Rwanda Bill and a briefing from Independent Age on pensioner poverty . Back in the constituency, I met with local WASPI women.

Vigil for Gaza today. £ coins starting to fill up the knots on Keffiyeh 2. Next target of £700 to Medical Aid for Palestine. #Ceasefirenow

Inverclyde familiar faces - uplifting weather, uplifting speeches, uplifting day. #BelieveInScotland

🙌 What an incredible day at the March & Rally for independence in Glasgow.

#BelieveinScotland

March with us for Independence on Saturday. Meet up around midday under the Yes Inverclyde banner at the bridge over the Kelvin on Kelvin Way, Glasgow. Last train from Gourock to get there on time leaves at 10.42am. Weather looking not too bad! 🌥️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😀

Inverclyde SNP and Yes Inverclyde will be there. Meet up at bridge over the Kelvin on Kelvin Way under Yes Inverclyde banner. See you Saturday. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

And this is exactly why we need an independent Scotland - to expand decency, humanity, fairness and wellbeing to everything we do. #Independence 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

NEW: Gordon Brown has admitted that the independence campaign is stronger than Unionism.

🗣️ 'In the long run, the forces pulling Britain apart are greater than the forces holding it together'

The wind blew, the bracelets flew off the shelves and today we reached our first keffiyeh target - £700 - off to Medical Aid for Palestinians next week. Now we collect for keffiyeh 2. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇵🇸

Attending a ship launch is always a great occasion. Piping at it makes it even better.
The #GlenRosa launch today was testament to the blood, sweat and tears of the workforce to make it happen. Thank you to each and every one of them. #PortGlasgow builds ships.

Very proud that Scottish Greens are part of a government committed to giving every child the best possible start in life. Easy to forget that many of these policies don't even exist in England, never mind in plenty of comparable countries 💚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Progressive Scotland…or just plain right-minded decency! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👏

Palestinian flag shaking its fist in the violent winds today. Vigil in Greenock raising more money for Medical Aid for Palestinians

The overall result was 82 MSPs voted FOR the Bill, 32 voted AGAINST the Bill and there were four abstentions.
How on earth is this controversial?
