When a Chinese wind turbine factory in Scotland was blocked over national security concerns, John Swinney put on a tin-foil hat - saying the decision was "anti-Scottish". Now this👇

In Holyrood, yesterday evening, a ScotPAG event: Ramifications of the draft Conversion Practices Bill attracted a wide range of attendees. Thank you 🙏 @murdo_fraser for hosting. @MeghanSCUP @WRNScotland @ForWomenScot @DalgetySusan

Oxford professor Dr Michael Foran @michaelpforan has written to the head of Scotland’s tribunal service to raise transparency concerns about the Sandie Peggie case next week thetimes.com/uk/scotland/art…

Sandie Peggie tribunal row as courts refuse extra room plea - and will instead turn away attendees which may include her family. scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/n…

Today at Holyrood I hosted a meeting of female victims of violence and their families. Brave and determined, they raised their ordeals directly with John Swinney. Far too many are failed by Scotland's justice system - and my party is determined to put that right.

In today’s’Scotsman’ and now on my blog my ‘magnificent polemic’ on the disastrous Scottish PISA results: ahouseinjoppa.wordpress.com/…

🤦🏼‍♀️

Scotland's PISA education performance report is appalling on a brief glance Well below England on reading, science, and maths, but the SNP are insisting it's fine as it's internationally "competitive" In reality it's decades of sustained decline and failure of Scotland's kids.

Lindsay Paterson, professor emeritus of education policy at Edinburgh University has analysed Scotland’s PISA results since the introduction of Curriculum for Excellence

Breaking. PISA results for 2025 show Scottish pupils are more than a year behind their English peers for maths and science. Also behind on reading. (20 points is equivalent of a year of schooling) 1/4

In March, we wrote to the Independent Advisers of the Scottish Ministerial Code regarding possible breaches by Ministers, including the First Minister. We finally got a reply - but not from them. There is much that is rotten in the state of Scotland. forwomen.scot/05/09/2026/aul…

A government insider told me the cat tail pokes out from the bottom of the person's dress and 'no one is quite sure what it's attached to'. I really thought the civil-servant-dressed-as-a-cat story was nonsense. Well, I was wrong: scotsman.com/news/politics/c…

🌾 Labour’s Family Farm Tax is a betrayal of the UK’s rural and farming communities. Andy Burnham has the chance to mend this - but it needs action, not just warm words. 🔹 @VictoriaAtkins and I have joined 129 @Conservatives MPs, MSPs and MSs have written to Andy Burnham urging him to scrap Labour’s Family Farm Tax, before it’s too late.

Why are @ForWomenScot still waiting to meet with you, @JohnSwinney ?

Another brilliant exclusive-packed Times for you today, starting with EHRC warns government over Human Rights Bill for Scotland @ForWomenScot thetimes.com/uk/scotland/art…

More nonsense from the SNP. No-one can define ‘gender identity’ in law. Surely @johnswinney has learned the lessons of the hated GRR Bill? thetimes.com/article/948af8a…

This is a direct consequence of the insane policy of rent controls. We warned the SNP that this would happen, they ignored us. Now we all live with the consequences. heraldscotland.com/news/2645…

‘Bereaved women are being completely ignored.’ After three pregnancy losses, Elizabeth Crammond warns Scotland’s maternity reforms risk shutting bereaved women out. We also reveal the maternity taskforce has no scheduled meetings. @heraldscotland

EXCLUSIVE: SNP's refusal to deal with classroom violence is impacting exam results as John Swinney urged to rip up current guidance - scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/n… scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/n…

Scottish ministers gave almost £230,000 of taxpayer money to a charity to run a “conversion therapy” helpline that received only four calls in three months. Susan Smith said it was extraordinary that the government was giving so much money to tackle a “non-existent problem”. thetimes.com/uk/scotland/art…
