It’s not often that you come across people who are both interested, and interesting - especially in the media. Despite being the busiest person in broadcasting, Michael Mosley had these qualities in abundance. He was a total joy to work with.

Congrats to Kath Sansom & Sling the Mesh! While this is good news, it’s mad it’s taken 7.5 years since covering this on the Jeremy Vine Show (+ all the coverage by Victoria Derbyshire) for there to be meaningful action - and for only a fraction of affected women at that

Big news: Farm funding for Scotland is no longer ring-fenced from the UK Government ‼️ Yesterday’s Budget means Scotland will now need to provide payments to farmers from its core funding, which is increasing. This means decisions on how much to spend on farm support rest

Yesterday we debated the impact of the UK Government’s Budget on Scotland’s Rural Economy. The Budget document is 164 pages long and yet climate change gets mentioned only 7 times, and nature only 6 times! We cannot trust Labour to tackle the climate and biodiversity crisis.

Loch Long is renowned for its natural beauty, wildlife, and cultural heritage. The proposed salmon farm could scar the loch's iconic coastline and badly harm its wildlife. ✍️ Join the campaign 👇 buff.ly/4jhxjLM

👩‍🌾 Scotland needs farmers! I am just out of a very constructive meeting with the Minister for Agriculture, Jim Fairlie, where I took a proposal to him, backed by Scotland's key farming bodies, to ensure a skills pipeline for sustainable farming and food production. 📺

This is shocking and shameless misinformation from Vice President JD Vance. He is one of the most powerful people in the world but he is peddling total nonsense about what my Act has done. Abortion rights are human rights and they are healthcare.

⚠️ The Scottish Government is funding companies profiting from war crimes in Gaza. Over 64,000 people have been killed, 59% women, children, and the elderly. Public money should serve the public good, not war profiteers. ✍️ Write to the Cabinet Secretary to end this.

Peak time rail fares are unfair. 🟢Scottish Greens scrapped peak fares, which saved workers money and saw 10 million extra journeys taken on ScotRail services. 🟡The SNP brought back peak times and now plan to hike rail fares. Scottish commuters deserve better.

🧵 There has been a lot of hateful noise coming out the Parliament this week towards the trans community. The Scottish Greens have, and always will, stand with Trans people and continue to oppose those stoking such hatred.

⛴️ The Scottish Government needs to ensure that the new fleet it's procuring is delivered on time and on budget. 👥 It also needs to ensure that the new Clyde and Hebrides ferry contract puts islanders and workers front and centre.
