Patrick Harvie 🇪🇺🌈, and so many others. Thank you for speaking with compassion. Exposing experiences of people seeking asylum. Comments from Sue Webber is completely unacceptable! Trying to turn communities against each other- how shameful !!!! Disgraceful comments.

For such a small change, it will make a big difference. Difference to mental health and wellbeing. Accessing justice. Services. Communities. Just to have a normal life, some form of normal life.. This commitment needs to continue. Scottish Government

With powerful words, Richard Leonard, quoting poet Tom Leonard 'I am a human being And I exist A human being And a citizen of the world Responsible to that world - and responsible for that world'

Give asylum seekers free bus travel. The least we could do to show some humanity.

"Those who are in hotel accommodation are expected to live on just £1.36 a day. That's less than half the price of one single bus ticket." Patrick Harvie 🇪🇺🌈 on why we're working towards free bus travel for people seeking asylum. 🚌

People seeking asylum have fled unimaginable hardship, only to be forced into poverty due to Home Office cruelty. I'm glad that the Scottish Government has finally recommitted to extending free bus travel to people seeking asylum in Scotland. 🚌 It's the least we can do. 👇

"The Scottish Parliament might not have the powers to create our own asylum system, but we do have the ability and responsibility to use what powers we have to support those who have come to Scotland in search of protection." - Mark Ruskell 👏
