The Tories claim there’s no credible alternative to the #IllegalMigrationBill for solving the small boats crisis but the Lords amendments propose more safe & legal routes, a new role for the NCA & a new refugee strategy involving international co-operation https://t.co/sW2zY85iZW

I’m grateful to the police for taking this matter seriously. This person’s twitter feed which threatened violence towards me gave legitimate cause for serious concern. Whether to prosecute and what evidence to lead were matters for the Crown. https://t.co/ZOrlXQyQnb

Today I’m not able to be at Westminster to represent my constituents. Instead I am in court again to give evidence in a criminal trial about frightening threats made against me. This is the real toxicity in our politics & it will take leadership to stop it. https://t.co/nHCLqJbgAn

RIshi Sunak missing in action at #PMQs again today. As Chris Bryant pointed out yesterday it’s becoming a bit of a pattern. Call me old fashioned but I don’t have much time for Captains who leave the bridge as soon as the ship hits choppy waters.

I am constantly in awe of the dedication & professionalism of our NHS staff from top to bottom & have recent experience of how they often go the extra mile to support those who are sick & those who love them. They have my heartfelt gratitude. #NHS75 https://t.co/COGxGC838i

Following the events in #Jenin I raised the climate of impunity enjoyed by the Israeli military & asked what specific actions the UK Govt will take to ensure Israel adheres to International law & that its leaders are held accountable for war crimes. https://t.co/KygKdFMroh

This is crazy. Anyone with any experience of the care sector knows the extent to which foreign workers provide a valuable contribution. This isn’t the way to get more local people involved. Better remuneration is needed not knee-jerk prejudice. https://t.co/U5ZbyX8rTz

There’s an unpleasant pattern in Scottish politics whereby the beliefs of lesbian & gay politicians on gender identity are closely policed by straight colleagues. I support Jamie’s right to his beliefs as I hope he would support mine. https://t.co/jYy1BGryCJ

It was a privilege to be elected to replace Harriet while she was away doing such important work. I look forward to continuing to work on the JCHR. Integrity & universal #HumanRights should be at the heart of everything we do in a democracy. https://t.co/L7SNWzSN6L

Unfortunately due to the serious illness of a dear friend I’m not able to be in Dundee tomorrow. Here’s my contribution to the debate. It’s time to move off process & to campaign on bread & butter issues & the ‘why’ of #independence. https://t.co/K70x6d9chU

But no solidarity to lesbians & gays receiving death threats in Pride Month? The party’s current definition of “transphobia” would not survive a legal challenge under the Human Rights Act or the Equality Act as I advised at the time it was adopted. https://t.co/buancBbrkM

I want to be very clear with Ellie Gomersall & anyone else seeking to attack or misrepresent me after yesterday’s debate that they will not intimidate me out of my advocacy for the rights of #women & #lesbians under the #EqualityAct https://t.co/193XcUnTK1

Thank you to everyone who has drawn this threat to my attention. It’s been reported. It’s a regular occurrence whenever I speak about protecting women’s or lesbian rights no matter the lengths I go to to underline my support for equal rights for trans people. https://t.co/W6UeYzw67c

Today I’m speaking in support of the petition to clarify the meaning of “sex” in the #EqualityAct to help service providers treat everyone fairly, to protect single sex spaces & separate sex services & to uphold #lesbian rights to freedom of association. https://t.co/XqumO7M7w1

Thanks to the family team @BMGoffice for producing and installing the new consultation desk in my constituency office. My team buy services locally wherever we can and BMG in Gorgie provide a great service.

An extraordinarily tone deaf answer from Deputy PM Dowden to @theSNP, as he references the pomp & pagentry of the coronation as somehow compensating for the #CostOfLivingCrisis & Tories trashing of our economy. Voters in Scotland will not be impressed. #PMQs https://t.co/MSYA77uBpv

What a disgrace. Discrimination & silencing of #FreeSpeech should have no place in Scotland’s parliament.. Many LGB people & indeed some T are gender critical. Our rights to be same sex attracted are not conditional on accepting gender identity theory. https://t.co/cp6Go4Pa4F

It’s interesting to see the growing backlash against the corporatisation of #Pride & the rewriting of #LGB history. This is my experience for daring to stand up for #LesbianRights despite being out & proud since the 80s.

Watching the #bbc interview with #AndrewTate. What a ghastly man but the idea that he is single handedly responsible for the wave of #misogyny sweeping Scotland & the UK is ludicrous. It goes much wider & deeper than that.

International students contribute £170.8m to Edinburgh South West. As members of the UK Union, Scotland is powerless to stop plans to make it more difficult to attract international post grad students. Student visas could be devovlved to Scotland but the minister says no. https://t.co/zqYvpOAVfK

At #PMQs Keir Starmer vying with Rishi Sunak as to who is the toughest on immigration. Not at all an issue that resonates with voters in Scotland who are primarily concerned about the #CostOfLivingCrisis & know these right-wing obsessions led to #Brexit.

Trans people rightly enjoy equal rights in Scotland. What is of concern is the proposal to allow any man to Self ID as a woman with minimal safeguards. There is plenty of evidence that this will impact on the rights of women. Let’s address the issue. https://t.co/YsQ1lHdpKx

A guilty plea a good thing in this awful case as the victim won’t have to give evidence. Sadly, it is a clear & shocking example of a predatory & abusive man pretending to be a woman in order to carry out abusive & predatory behaviour. https://t.co/MHnMISEa6p

The directors of the documentary Adult Human Female have written to the university lecturers’ union warning it may have violated the Equality Act after its Edinburgh branch helped sabotage a screening of the film.

Oh not again! Irresponsible scaremongering. Trans people in the UK are fully protected from discrimination under the widely drawn protected characteristic of gender reassignment in the Equality Act & by the Human Rights Act. There is no human right to Self-ID. https://t.co/t4k1cu5MBr

Delighted that my Urgent Question asking for a U.K. Government statement on the policing of protest during the Coronation has been granted & will be heard in House of Commons today at 330pm. #FreedomOfExpression matters.
