🚎Public transport is more than just convenience — it's a lifeline that opens doors for women to access education, employment, & essential services.
Today, we've launched a new briefing that spotlights 3 steps to achieving primary prevention in public transport 👇

IMPORTANT POINTS:
1. calling 18-21 year-olds: in Scotland the National Entitlement Card / Young Person's Bus Pass *is* valid ID
This needs to be widely publicised! Spread the word!
2. Or get a postal vote - it doesn't require ID

Blustery days in Scotland are a lot better than putting up with the hot air in WM! #independence
Busy, and blustery, morning on the stall in Bruntsfield with Yes Marchmont & Morningside, Edinburgh @Pensioners4indy, & @WomenForIndy.
Lots of interest in indy Scotland joining #EU, and in our voter registration flyers.

💯- Arguments in favour of #NHS privatisation are similar to someone smashing a clock & then complaining it doesn't work.
The NHS has been broken down over decades, starved of funding & staff. The answer is not to privatise but to properly invest in this vital resource.

"While the right to offend must be preserved, gratuitous cruelty diminishes us as individuals and as a society. The Hate Crime Act has come into force at a time when unchecked anger seems to be on the rise."

The archaic, old-boy stagnation of Westminster cares only for the rich. Let's show what we want our country to be, not just by force of numbers but in our banners and our speech.
See you there?

We want to live in a country where no organisation can use NDAs to save themselves from embarrassment. All this does is perpetuate a toxic culture.

The shock! Boris breaches work restrictions for ex-ministers, grabs the money & cosies up to a govt accused of corruption & crimes against humanity.
Oh, that's the Venezuelan Got, btw - not the UK.
When can we escape this Union? #FreeScotland

Many girls will start menstruating & notice physical changes during primary school. Is Jenkyns arguing that they should be kept in ignorance of their own bodies? Or that what's happening to them shouldn't be discussed with other children?
I do not want primary school children full stop to have sex education. Nor do I want children to be taught about changing gender. We need to protect their innocence and childhood.

The silence is deafening on #BBCNews
This is a game-changing bill, which would legally require landowners to show how they are managing the land & it would protect local communities from being exploited or disadvantaged by large estates.
But it's #TheNewsWhereYouAre, isn't it?
Scotland’s new Land Reform Bill was published today, for the first time introducing the power to break up big estates when they come up for sale
This is essential to address inequality in land ownership, helping to ensure it's used for the benefit of our communities and nature🧵
ALT Land reform Bill. Breaking up big estates.
