After 9 years, Jagtar Singh Johal is out of prison. His family deserve relief, but bail is not freedom. The campaign continues until Jagtar is safely home in Dumbarton. @SikhPA #FreeJaggiNow thenational.scot/politics/26…

It’s an honour & privilege to have been elected to serve as a Member of the Scottish Parliament for Glasgow Baillieston & Shettleston constituency. The election is now over and my priority is to serve everyone, whether you voted for me or not, or indeed whether you voted at all.

Last year, the future of British Steel was on the line. Scunthorpe’s steel furnaces were hours away from shutting down.
I couldn’t let thousands of people lose their jobs. So we saved British Steel.
Time and again, people want to write off Britain’s workers. The Tories did it again and again.
My Labour government will never leave workers behind. We’re investing in British steelmaking across our country – so we can make more of our own steel here at home.
85 years since the #Clydebank Blitz.
On the nights of 13th and 14th March 1941 German bombers devastated the Burgh. 528 people were killed and around 35,000 were left homeless. Scotland greatest loss of life in the modern era. Do not forget their names.

If you've seen the Sunday Times today you'll know Labour Together were secretly hiring people to investigate journalists. Sadly you won't know that The National exclusively broke this story six months ago, since our work is not credited at all.
The National revealed that Starmer's allies at Labour Together were hiring investigators to look into journalists and writers back in September, in this great piece by @PulaRJS and @OborneTweets
These are the people running the country. It's bleak.

… I’d say Technology governance is too important to outsource to X threads @columeastwood and stacked headlines and dramatic quotes are not proof of runaway autonomy.
AI capability is advancing rapidly that’s a fact. Let’s also be mindful that threads are not evidence, resignations and dramatic quotes are not proof of runaway autonomy.
Governance requires data, transparency and regulatory design. Not adrenaline @michaelgove
