Unfortunately as a socialist and a feminist I had no option but to vote against the Gender Recognition Reform Bill today. I supported it at Stage 1 as like so many others I agree this process should be reformed.

Not unsurprisingly the First Minister when asked about Scotland’s NHS spent most of the answer talking about England. This isn’t serious governance #FMQs

Regardless of where you stand in this debate there is nothing offensive or provocative about such a scarf. This should not have happened. I will be asking why this was allowed.

I share the concerns of many regarding reports people have been arrested for expressing their views in support of a republic. Everyone has the right to express their opinions peacefully, this sets a dangerous precedent. I will be raising my concerns when Parliament reconvenes.

I will be putting questions to the Presiding Officer regarding the decision to increase limitations on protest outside the Parliament. There is no clear justification for this and I view it as a threat to peaceful democratic expression.

I will continue to campaign for women’s rights as I have done my entire life.

Sadly the way this bill has been forced through by the SNP and Greens will lead to poor legislation and I fear it has damaged women’s rights in Scotland. There was a working compromise available to us, it was not agreed to by the Government.

The Scottish Parliament has had responsibility over some social security benefits for years and yet there is still no functioning IT system. The SNP wonder why most people don’t want to separate from the rest of the UK? Well it’s things like this that stick in their mind.

However, despite many reasonable attempts by party colleagues and others to amend this bill in order to protect single sex spaces for women and to prevent the law being open to exploitation the Government refused to countenance any fair reform at all.

I have written to @POScotParl about the reported removal of a member of the public from the Equalities, Human Rights and Civil Justice Committee today.

Austerity has never been a sustainable path to growth. We cannot balance the books on the backs of people who require benefits just to have a passable standard of living. These reforms are a mistake and should not go ahead.

750,000 Scots waiting for treatment, the worst ever recorded A&E waiting times in Scotland. The SNP have been in power for 15 years - this is their legacy #FMQs
