These are chip shops, kebab houses and pizza places. The jobs are working at the counters, fryers and as managers. Scotland has people out of work. Why is a visa needed for work someone already here can do it?

Prediction: This law will *harm* the career prospects of people who ID as trans. Why? Employers won't want the risk of having them in their workplace, if they can't talk about any issues that arise. This group will be unemployable.

Hunter Schafer has gotten a rot pocket! 🚨🚨🚨 A “neo-vagina” (rot pocket) is a rancid, oozing hole carved from a sliced penis and jammed into a pit. Stretched with slimy tissue or dead skin, it reeks of sewage and decay. It needs twice-daily stretching, tilapia grafts mixing with leaking waste and hair clumps that will make the stench worse. Unlike the real vagina—a clean, self-wet, self-healing marvel of nature. Good luck, dude…

Perceived hurty words by a handful of Reform councillors apparently means the whole party is like that. I guess using this method means the Labour Party is one massive paedophile ring.

Cliveden House burnt down in 1849. The architect behind Parliament rebuilt it in two years. Now, Parliament has spent over a decade just planning its own repairs. What happened to the country that built things? 👇

Is it time somebody took Andy Burnham to one side and had a quiet word in his ear, pointing out that the remit of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland extends rather further than legislating on buses?

😳 @JohnSwinney telling the Easdale brothers to “watch their language” rather neatly illustrates the very attitude they're complaining about. He's the @ScotGovFM of Scotland, not the nation's headmaster. His job is to answer criticism, not to expel people who express it in terms he finds disagreeable. I've experienced this culture myself. Challenge a policy, question a funding decision or expose an uncomfortable truth, and suddenly the conversation becomes about your tone, your language or your attitude. Anything, it seems, except the substance of what you've actually said. It's a remarkably convenient way of avoiding difficult questions while making the person asking them the problem. Democracy is not simply the right to vote every few years. It also requires the freedom to challenge those in power without fearing that your livelihood, funding, reputation or opportunities will suffer as a consequence. And that is where my criticism of the SNP goes considerably further than its apparent dislike of dissent. My concern, informed by my own experience, is that criticism can carry identifiable institutional consequences, while compliance and political conformity can bring equally identifiable advantages. That is a far more serious allegation than a government being thin-skinned, and it deserves proper scrutiny. The Easdales have the resources and public profile to challenge the government openly. Many smaller organisations, particularly those dependent on public funding, do not enjoy that luxury. For them, the perceived price of speaking out can be enough to ensure silence. A government doesn't have to ban criticism to discourage it. It merely has to create an environment in which people believe there is a price to pay for speaking their minds. So perhaps, rather than lecturing his critics about their manners, the First Minister might reflect on why people feel compelled to use such strong language in the first place. Democracy isn't a classroom, Mr Swinney. The electorate aren't your pupils, and disagreement isn't a disciplinary offence.

These men always talk about ‘trans women being frightened’, ‘breaches of their rights’ all Because they want to be in spaces made for women. India never turns that on its head and thinks of women who are frightened, women who are having their rights breached. Yes we have a right not to have men in our spaces. End.
