Whatever your view is. I’ve been waiting on this like Christmas. I will always be an absolute fan because she’s impacted me so personally. It’s more than politics. Reached out to me as a very young woman, encouraged me, often gave me a seat at tables and believed in my voice. 💛

I think my Dissertation Acknowledgements sum up perfectly how I feel about my Dad. “Without him, I would not be who I am and none of this would be possible. For him, I am forever grateful”. In short - I owe him a lot ❤️

SO shocked to hear this. Peter’s bravery and disruption of social norms was exactly what was needed. Privilege to know him. His work and impact will not be forgotten.

Happy to hear. I’ve had the privilege of knowing @MareeToddMSP over the years. She’s always given me her time and advice. She’s a woman of integrity, compassion and honesty. Drug and Alcohol policy is close to my heart and I believe she is an excellent appointment.

A very moving contribution.
At around 7 tonight, MSPs will cast their votes on Stage 1 of Liam McArthur's Bill to give terminally ill people choice and dignity at the end of their lives. I will be voting in favour. Here is why👇

8 years ago today I was at an awards ceremony that I thought I had been accidentally invited to. Turned out I was the winner. Was an absolute game changer for my life and I could never have imagined the opportunities that were about to come my way. @YoungScot I owe you forever ❤️

Just watched this BBC disclosure. Feel a bit conflicted about the portrayal. Grateful to all those who decided to share such personal stories. It’s never easy but hopefully allows people to have greater tolerance or understanding around drug use. https://t.co/h1wODYS6jF

Will a centre where people can inject illegal drugs under medical supervision save lives?

This is a MUST watch. Hopefully changes a lot of perspectives of blame and individualism. The system and society is often letting people down.
A rare look inside two of Scotland’s women's prisons is coming. ‘Jailed: Women in Prison’ hears from women in custody and staff at HMPs Grampian and Stirling, giving a first-hand view of the realities of prison life. Watch Tues. 18 March on BBC iPlayer or BBC Scotland (9pm)
