This Fashion Revolution Week, it was a pleasure to meet Fashion Revolution Scotland and practise my sewing skills! Given the environmental costs of fast fashion, I support a circular economy for textiles and a more sustainable fashion industry.

Very ranty from Humza Yousef today… clearly the pressure of so many failed bills is getting to him

How many hate crimes have been reported during the Old Firm today?

SNP-led Glasgow City Council in a spin after U-turn on plan to charge motorists for parking up to 10pm.

They finally heeded warnings from under threat local businesses.

The 10pm plan is now on hold - though only for parking in the city centre.

Vaping is feeding children’s addictions and harming schooling.
New research shows vapes can cause changing cells in the mouth - similar to the way lung cancer appears.
While vapes can help adults quit smoking, we need to double down and restrict supplies of vapes to children.

In the latest chapter of this charade, the SNP have shifted the blame for their own failures onto the boss of Ferguson Marine. Glen Sannox will be further delayed and the cost of the 2 ferries is now over 300% of the initial budget. Our island communities deserve better. Shocking

Parliamentary procedure enacted to allow urgent questions to be asked about Ferguson marine boss being sacked but SNP have voted against to BLOCK any questions being asked
Why?
What do they have to hide?
Not enough time for spin?

Typical secret SNP
Typical secret Scotland

Some interesting developments here in Holyrood.
Standing orders might be suspended to allow us to ask urgent questions about Ferguson marine

Lovely to talk to Scottish Book Trust who are Scottish Parliament to remind us of the power of reading and writing at all life stages. Reading for pleasure has numerous benefits such as improving literacy and communication skills, reducing stress and improving mental health and wellbeing.

So sad to hear of the death of Henry Wuga, such an extraordinary man whom I was fortunate to have recently met.

Henry escaped Nazi Germany at 15 years old before making Glasgow his home and becoming instrumental in educating people about the horrors of the Holocaust.

RIP
