No matter what happens tomorrow or over the weekend, Ash Regan will continue to enjoy the sisterhood and solidarity of women across Scotland and rUK. When courage called she resigned from govt to stand up for women’s rights and remains steadfast to the cause. 💚🤍💜

If I was Ash Regan, I’d just have a laugh with my demands.

1. Humza must buy an Ibrox season ticket and be photographed every week in the home kit

2. Angus Robertson has to dress as a duck and must quack in response to all ministerial questions

3. Bring back Take the High Road

Oh Humza. Careful who you insult mate.

After the bourach of The Hate Crime Act, is this really the day to be quoting ‘Rocky Horror Show’.

Read the room Partrick.

The idea that Humza Yousaf's political fate may now lie in the hands of Ash Regan, the woman who left the SNP in disgust at its plans for gender self-ID, reminds me...

We hope whoever is running the @csplgbtqia+ 🏳️‍🌈⚧🏳️‍⚧️ account listens to Joanna's excellent speech for #LesbianVisibilityWeek on who is a lesbian & their protections in law from homophobia. 💜

Here are the relevant bits of the Scotland Act on the the office of First Minister, for people who like primary sources. There will be more about this in the Parliament's standing orders, but this is the basic legal framework. legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1998/46/…

A woman was stopped from entering Holyrood for wearing a small Scottish Lesbians badge. I'm wearing that same badge today in solidarity with Scottish Lesbians, an excellent lesbian grassroots collective.

This is how much women's issues matter in the corridors of power, #OneVisibleLesbian

We need you, Joanna Cherry KC. Thank you for what you do for us.

Example of inaccurate, unlawful & damaging resource being used in a school today. Schools are evidently unable to assess third party resources for suitable content that meet the requirements of the curriculum, legislation & guidance. Department for Education Ofsted must intervene.

Good morning #Lesbians . Today I’m speaking in the UK Parliament’s #LesbianVisibilityWeek debate. I’ll be reminding everyone that lesbians are same sex attracted women, that we don’t have penises & that we should not be force teamed with other identities.

Considering that just since April Fool's Day alone @scotgovfm has been surfing a wave of chaos, poor legislation and humiliation, we can only assume that the FM's joy meter is buggered.

Douglas Ross MP MSP to table a vote of no confidence in Humza Yousaf. Could be interesting given what the Greens have said today about the first minister. Will they vote in support of the FM given they have said he is a coward and not to be trusted?

I don't 'reduce myself' to my womb when I say I'm a woman any more than I reduce myself to my ears when I say I'm not deaf. These are facts. There is no liberation for women in pretending their sex class isn't definable. If men can be women, there is no such thing as a woman.

The Conservatives, Labour, Lib Dems, SNP and Greens all bear some responsibility for the child 'gender medicine' scandal.
A failure of political leadership, intellectual curiosity and moral courage have united the political classes across the board. #MoreInCommon #NotInAGoodWay

A particularly good morning to those members of the SNP backbench who looked at horror at Harvie's behaviour over Cass and decided enough was enough. I do wish Labour had given them more they could use for leverage sooner./

THIS is what having the Scottish Greens in Government got us 👇
