This is a hugely significant moment. For the first time since 2014, Scottish Labour accept Scotland’s right to decide our own future, just as the Prime Minister has.
We now need to turn that principle into an opportunity for people to make their voice heard.
The new leader of Scottish Labour says he is backing the right for Scotland to decide its own future.

Michael Marra told STV: "I believe that the people of Scotland have the right to decide their future, and they did so in 2014." He added that in 1997 they gave an unequivocal answer on both occasions.

TV presenter Lorraine Kelly has led a public outcry against the University of St Andrews, saying she is both 'sad and angry' after a former student accused the institution of having a 'culture of anti-Scottish classism'

If the government will force you to accept men as women, they can force you to accept anything. What’s next?

It is deeply wrong that Scotland cannot decide for itself whether to hold a referendum on its future.
Decisions about Scotland should be made by the people who live here, not imposed by Westminster politicians.
Well … that about sums it up - doesn’t it?
Scotland - of course - has a way out!
If only we had that gwyid auld Scottish thrawn!

Predatory men will pretend to be ANYTHING to secure power or privileged intimate access to their victims.

Anyone who believes self-ID is not a dangerous access point predators will exploit is frankly buttoned up the back.

While the former, former FM and sitting MSP punts her book, the consequences of her ‘legacy” continue to see word salad nonsense spouted by the government.
Decisions on children's toilets in a Perth school, set to open next week, are delayed by hand-wringing denial of the reality of the @ForWomenScot judgments, the School Premises (General Requirements and Standards) (Scotland) Regulations 1967 regulations and an embarrassing loss in court by Scottish Borders council this year with the Earlston Primary Judicial Review.
The law is the law - that is reality, so follow it, get the school open and let fantasy and ideology leave Scottish politics, along with its ‘author’.

🚨 Sandie Peggie calls for action after @ForWomenScot #SupremeCourt ruling (@BBCNews)
"She now expects NHS Fife to immediately stop permitting any man who identifies as a woman access to female-only single-sex spaces in the workplace."

If he will “not accept the charge” of the state-sanctioned abuse of women's human rights, is yet another First Minister telling women of Scotland that our concerns for our rights are ‘not valid’?
How can the FM’s “commitment to the protection of women and girls in our society” be taken seriously when his government sign off on guidance allowing self identification into single-sex spaces?
Mixed sex cannot be single sex.
#IWD2025—Accelerating Action must start with upholding women's internationally protected human rights.
Alba MSP @AshReganALBA says the First Minister is "woefully out of touch" on the issue of women's rights in Scotland and "state-sanctioned abuses".
"It's utterly impossible to accelerate action towards gender equality when women's human rights are under attack." #FMQs

Knowing for the past few weeks that this moment was fast approaching didn’t make it any less heartbreaking to hear the news early this morning that Janey had died.
Janey Godley truly was a force of nature, and one of the funniest people I have ever known. I was able to visit her in the hospice a couple of weeks ago and though she was fragile, she still had me in stitches.
Janey was also incredibly kind. And she made the world a better place.
A bond was forged between us in the darkest days of Covid when her famous voiceovers of my daily briefings went viral. In the toughest of times, she made people laugh - and that was precious. She did more that that though. In managing to project the serious public health messages of my briefings to a much wider audience than I would have managed alone, she helped save lives.
The photos on this post are from an event we did together last year - it was a special night.
I was so proud to call Janey a friend and will miss her hugely. My heart goes out to her family and many friends - they are in my thoughts today.
I know Frank will have been there, holding the door for her as she went - with a tear in his eye, as I have in mine. RIP my friend ❤️

A special day for an extraordinary man.
As I said today, each of us will leave this world twice. Once when we physically leave the world, and the second time when our name is spoken for the last time. We can take great comfort in knowing that Uncle Alex will outlive us all.
