It is now clear that two people in Scotland have been detained as part of the UK Government’s inhumane policy to send people to Rwanda.

The Scottish Government's opposition to the Rwanda policy has been made clear right from the start. 1/3

In speed & scale, the war in Gaza is the deadliest conflict in my time as Secretary-General – for civilians, aid workers, journalists & United Nations colleagues.

Yet the toll on civilians continues to escalate.

Any assault on Rafah is unacceptable. It would inflict another surge of

All my love, prayers, and good wishes to Richard Lochhead Moray MSP and his family at what is undoubtedly a worrying time for them all. I am pleased to hear that Richard is in a stable condition and making good progress.

The Labour Party are setting out their latest policy promises today.

Have a quick listen to learn about their previous promises.

Congratulations to (C)eltic Football Club on being crowned Champions of Scotland again, and in such emphatic style! 🍀

A senior Israeli Govt Minister is being explicit. They want to occupy Gaza and expel people from their homes.

There is nothing 'voluntary' about turning people's homes to rubble and making their land uninhabitable, thereby forcing them to leave.

It is called ethnic cleansing.

Great to chat with Catherine Hunter from Glasgow Live about the Friends Of Crookston Castle AGM taking place tomorrow (15th May)

If you want to be part of the Castle's future then come along to SWAMP Community Development Trust, 27 Brockburn Road at 7pm and get involved.

A reminder that our civic nationalism embraces multicultural Scotland. Meanwhile, the Tories are the Party that gave us Windrush, the Hostile Environment, Go Home Vans, Lee Anderson, Frank Hester, Rwanda flights, Liz Truss, Suella Braverman & Boris.

We're not the dangerous ones.

First Minister John Swinney attended the ground-breaking of Ardersier Port in Inverness, operated by Haventus.

The company has secured a £100 million loan from The Scottish National Investment Bank and UK Infrastructure Bank to develop the Port into an energy transition facility, supporting offshore windfarms.

For those who mistakenly and often deliberately try and sow discord between Muslims and Jews, take a look at the protest below.

A march in Tel Aviv demanding peace and a ceasefire.

'In Rafah and Sderot: children deserve to live.'

Blessed are the peacemakers.

#CeasefireNOW

Thanks for all the kind comments, and also to those who told me, quite literally, to jog on!

The first step completed. I'm hoping that by posting this, I will be shamed into continuing 🤣

Thanks to Sanjeev Kohli for being my coach on the Couch to 5K app!

Over the last year, in particular, I've neglected my physical health, so I'm going to try Couch to 5K

I am not ashamed of saying the last few weeks have taken their toll on my mental health, so I'm hoping exercise helps in that regard too.

Remember, it's okay not to be okay.

From Scottish Parliament's backbenches, I will continue to ensure I give a voice to the voiceless, at home and overseas.

The massacre of innocent men, women and children in Gaza must stop.

If the Israeli Government continues to defy the international community there must be consequences.

My dear friend John Swinney is one of the most compassionate and caring people I know. Good qualities for any person to possess and are absolutely vital for the role of FM.

He, and his team, will have my resolute support as he governs in the interest of all of Scotland.

Congratulations to John Swinney on becoming Leader of The SNP and FM-elect.

John's central message has been one of unity. As a party, we must heed his call, whatever has happened in the past should remain there.

Let's get behind John & his team so they can deliver for Scotland.

I congratulate Sadiq Khan on his historic re-election. His victory is all the more significant given it was in the face of a climate denying, xenophobic opposition campaign. A victory for progressive values.

Well, there are some silver linings like having time to spend with the birthday girl.

Can't believe my baby is 5!

Choosing #MayDay to water down your promise to overhaul one of the worst sets of employment rights in Europe is beyond irony. #Labour
