It's a privilege to be the first female MSP elected to the Scottish Parliament from an Indian background.
Thank you to everyone who's supported me. Can't wait to get to work for the people of the West of Scotland.
Terrifying for victims of crime & much of the general public.
If the SNP had built new jails on time, Scots would not be facing the prospect of a mass release of dangerous criminals.
With most inmates serving time for violent crimes, any release must be carefully scrutinised👇
My heart breaks while listening to Eilidh's story raised by
@Douglas4Moray
during
#FMQs
.
John Swinney must ensure that access to out-of-hours urgent care is 24/7 and 365 days a year.
Proud to announce publication on 30 May of The Women Who Wouldn't Wheesht.
From the grassroots to the world-famous, women tell the story of fighting for their rights in Scotland. Edited by me and Susan Dalgety. Preorder here

Despite five councils declaring housing emergencies and soaring homelessness, the SNP Gov cut £200M from the housing budget.
With no plan to tackle the crisis, it's simply not good enough👇
The Right to Recovery Bill is not my bill, it’s thanks to the efforts of activists like
@Annemarieward
and
@FAVORUK
that we’ve reached this point.
Now parties across Holyrood must find consensus and back the the bill.
The 40th
#VolunteersWeek
is fast approaching and so is the deadline to nominate someone in my 2024 East and West Dunbartonshire Volunteer of the Year Awards.
If you know someone who who makes a genuine difference to people’s lives, nominate them here 👉

@Annemarieward

@Douglas4Moray
have launched the Right to Recovery Bill.
Drug-related deaths have nearly tripled under the SNP since 2007, making it the worst in Europe.
The Bill establishes a right to recovery for all suffering from drug or alcohol addiction👇
Introducing more rent controls will remove valuable housing stock from the market.
Instead, the SNP must restore the cuts to the housing budget and deliver the homes that Scotland so desperately needs. 👇🏻
🚨 Latest stats reveal over 3,000 patients waited over 8 hours in A&E across Scotland last week.
This is a serious failure stemming from the SNP’s mismanagement of the NHS.
It's time for John Swinney to prioritise fixing this crisis over his obsession with independence.
SNP ministers have admitted officer numbers are at their lowest in 16 years.
Turns out, the real count is even lower🫣
Caught red-handed spinning numbers, the SNP Gov isn’t fooling anyone👇
It is becoming increasingly clear that the SNP’s Hate Crime Act is not fit for purpose.
John Swinney must scrap this hated law and get back to Scotland’s real priorities.
Ensuring public safety is paramount.
Most inmates are serving time for violent crimes, warranting meticulous scrutiny before any release.
The SNP's failure to build new jails on schedule should not result in a mass release of dangerous individuals.
Safety first, always.
Scots are fed up with Michael Matheson's antics.
From dodgy data roaming charges to refusing accountability, it's clear he's unfit for office.
If he won't step down, it's time for John Swinney to show him the door👇
Scotland's housing emergency deepens as the SNP admits it has no idea how many houses will be built in Scotland.
Damning budget cuts coupled with a stark decline in completed new homes will leave many vulnerable people in limbo👇
Out in the sunshine ☀️ with my colleague

The SNP need to make up their minds on the future of GRR.
They can either stand with women and girls or with their extremist former coalition partners👇
