It’s a sad sad day. She didn’t just light up Scotland during the pandemic but personally, also my cancer journey with her incomparable humour. She literally was my laughter medicine with the C-bomb podcast, pulling me out of some dark places. Rest in power.

Local governments have a key role to play in reducing poverty and increasing equality. They also have a responsibility to engage in discussions with citizens who have lived experience of the issues they are aiming to solve. 🧵⬇️

It's time to move on from rewriting climate rules in Scotland to deliver new action to reduce emissions. We can't keep spinning our wheels. As #COP29 nears, we need Scottish Government to fairly raise the money needed to invest in unlocking all the benefits of a greener Scotland.

On #WorldChildrensDay, First Minister John Swinney invited Save the Children Scotland and parents to Bute House to talk about the challenges facing families on low incomes. They discussed the challenges and barriers facing parents, and the issues that matter most to families.

Our #homeinsurance premium doubled last year. It doubled again this year. I wonder if this will continue and if this is how the #climatecrisis is starting to bite-more floods, more payouts, higher premiums. Any insights as to what's driving this year on year 100% inflation rate?

As someone who hails from the ugly wasteland precariat on the border of Aldi Nord/Aldi SĂĽd, this is has me in stitches

Thank you BBC Scotland News for spotlighting the issue of funded childcare hours ft Steffi Keir. "One thing they could consider doing is to increase the Scottish Child Payment because that means money going directly into the pockets of families." 👇 tinyurl.com/2s4en8ak

This. We are nature, we depend on nature, we are dissolving the very ground we stand on if we carry on our destruction. We are the most intelligent animals to have lived on the earth and yet we still don't get the basics and do populism instead of forward thinking.

Earlier today the government announced a cut to the UK aid budget to fund an increase in defence spending. 12 years ago, we released this video to show how aid protects children in the toughest situations. Now, the message is more important than ever.
