If Ash Regan’s asks for supporting the SNP Government revolve around support for #independence & #WomensRights then there should be plenty of scope for talks. The SNP are the party of Independence & it’s time for Holyrood to pay a more attention to women.
Fantastic ten minute speech in parliament from Lesbian Project advisory board member Joanna Cherry KC, robustly standing up for the rights of exclusively same-sex-attracted females against gender nonsense - thank you Jo ❤️ youtube.com/watch?v=LKofrK…
As Joanna Cherry KC pointed out in her superb speech in the House Commons today - Parliament Live starting at 12.52 - the letter collection “LGBTQIA+” submerges lesbians in other identities. Thank you so much, Joanna, for focusing on lesbians in “Lesbian Visibility Week”!
A powerful speech from Sex Matters advisory group member Joanna Cherry KC in UK House of Commons for #LesbianVisibilityWeek
'Our protection is on the basis of sex, not gender.'
When a picture paints 1000 words on the value of women. Huge respect & admiration for Joanna Cherry KC In #LesbianVisabilityWeek still standing up, still fighting. 💜
A woman was stopped from entering Holyrood for wearing a small Scottish Lesbians badge. I'm wearing that same badge today in solidarity with Scottish Lesbians, an excellent lesbian grassroots collective.

As the First Minister has terminated the Bute House Agreement, I firmly believe Scottish Parliament is strongest when there is thorough, public debate; the Gov is most effective when its priorities match the public's & The SNP is most electable as a broad tent, representative of the nation
The #LesbianVisibilityWeek debate in UK House of Commons should start at about 1130 today. Possibly a bit earlier.

If true this would be excellent news. The Scottish Greens have brought nothing transformative to the table on climate change that was actually viable, their science denying response to the #CassReport was disgraceful & their identity politics are toxic.
This is a disgraceful answer from Dowden who Sir Alan Duncan rightly called out. The discovery of mass graves requires ICC action. Israel is not fit to investigate itself as its record sadly demonstrates.
Hope the Ministers will note this. This is not a trivial matter, and Liam Byrne MP is quite right to express his disappointment. Serious questions are being asked how British weapons and components are being used in Gaza.
Implementation of #CassReview key to protecting girls from serious harm, says UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, Reem Alsalem (Reem Alsalem UNSR Violence Against Women and Girls).
