For 20 years I've supported constituents and worked with the infected blood community from the dark days when we were ignored and lied to up to the inquiry and the compensation scheme. All affected must now be included and we must make progress in payments

Felt it only fair to acknowledge the result from last night... There's huge disappointment that there isn't a full bill to address ticket touting meaning music fans will continue to get ripped off by the touts and the spivs. They need to spell out how they will take this forward

The Scottish press can of course employ whomsoever they want but why would anyone in the world pay to read rubbish like this?

It's a year since that awful fatal fire in the city centre of Perth and we're just getting back to normal. I've proposed a mural remembering those caught up in the fire and the bravery of the emergency services at the space in Scott Street. Hope it gets support.

The ITN/STV picture quality of the World Cup is really poor. Compared to the UHD of the BBC it's like watching coverage from a couple of decades ago. Really hope it can be improved before they get Scotland's next game.

This idea that racism and discrimination is over in a week when people of colour were being burned out of their homes in the UK is simply extraordinary. This is an agenda imported from Trump's America and it is not designed to protect anybody. It is there to divide communities.

Was a tough watch last night but we got there. Always amazed how our little (big) version of 'the Loch' is now embedded into everything to do with celebrating being Scottish.

The only football they're talking about today. The Kinross-shire Friendship cup with 8 refugee teams from across Scotland taking part. Bringing communities together in mutual support and respect.

Not on this site very often any more mainly because there is just so much stuff like this. Still take a bit of satisfaction in engaging the block button on them when ever I can be bothered.

They're not Scottish, will never be Scottish. And you are a traitor. When the real Scots run out the foreigners, you conspirators are next.

"Others describe sleeping with fire extinguishers and packed bags full of sentimental belongings by their beds, prepared to flee at a moment’s notice". Imagine living like this in the UK in 2026. How has this new generation racism taken such a hold?

What a fantastic front page from The National. This is who we are and we won't let anybody divide us.

John was fantastic today and demonstrates why we won't work with Reform and their invidious divisive politics. Scotland has to stand together and show there is no space for this hate to take hold.

Reform's Malcolm Offord asks the FM if he will prioritise the needs of “local Scots” ahead of “strangers”. John Swinney says Offord is presenting himself as a solution to a problem he created and he should condemn MSP Thomas Kerr’s action of encouraging Scots to protest.

Apparently we have the wrong kind of poverty in Perth. It seems to be the only reason Westminster ignores and denies us. No wonder he lost in Perth.....
