70% of the price of scotch whisky goes directly to WM treasury Exporting Scotch whisky contributed £6 BILLION to the economy Scottish food & drink export has increased by 30% Can you imagine what we could do with that revenue if it came straight to Scotland

If a man threatens to rape a woman, he is unlikely to know if the victim is born a woman or a trans woman. That behaviour should logically be seen as misogynistic. Again, this aligns with existing legislation protecting people from abuse motivated by prejudice. This is not new.

We're disappointed that @KatyLoudonSNP has advised that she will not be attending tomorrow's hustings. It would be a shame if both front-runners were unable to make time in their schedules to discuss issues affecting women with constituents, so we hope @mgshanks will.

There are parallels between the #LucyLetby case and the QEUH in Glasgow. Health bosses being more concerned about the reputation of the hospital than the lives of patients is simply wrong. Lessons need to be learned.

If a man threatens to rape a woman, he is unlikely to know if the victim is born a woman or a trans woman. That behaviour should logically be seen as misogynistic. Again, this aligns with existing legislation protecting people from abuse motivated by prejudice. This is not new.
