Rent and food doesn't cost less because you are under 25. Instead, it takes up a larger proportion of most young earners income.
The @scottishgreens.org want to see a real living wage, which increases with inflation every year.

Last week I had the honour of being installed as the Rector of @dundee.ac.uk. I spoke about the value of education to society. I was also pleased to engage with activists in Aberdeen and campaigners for sex workers' rights.

Delighted to join the North Sea Knitters outside of a very chilly Parliament today to protest #Rosebank.
In the week where the Parliament took evidence on the catastrophic impact of 4° warming, it is inspiring to join with innovative campaigners who can offer us all hope.

Today, on #TDOR, we honour and mourn all the trans people whose lives were taken by hatred, violence and neglect.
Their lives mattered. Their futures mattered.
With courage and solidarity, we will build a future where every trans person is free to thrive.

Last week, @ducuuo.bsky.social staff were on strike, @scottishgreens.org called on Parliament to say no to fossil fuel extraction from the #Rosebank oil field, & thousands joined the climate march in Glasgow. I also heard from Generations Working Together & others promoting social justice.

This is contemptible from Labour!
Immigrants make phenomenal contributions to life in the UK - working in pretty much every sector, bringing cultural diversity & creativity to our society.
This scapegoating must stop!
Labour must stop pandering to the far right!

Glad to be able to pop by the @ducuuo.bsky.social picket line as they were just getting set up this morning.
Staff are on strike in the cold & damp to say NO to compulsory redundancies. Management must engage with staff properly: co-design a recovery plan, do not impose cuts!

Last week I reaffirmed @scottishgreens.org' commitment to legal aid reform to ensure survivors of domestic abuse can access justice.
I was pleased to discuss animal welfare with the SSPCA & those seeking to ban greyhound racing in Scotland.
And talk inclusion with @includem.bsky.social

75 years ago today, the European Convention of Human Rights, ECHR, was created. The UK played a key role in shaping it.
We should celebrate the ECHR & the vision of all who brought it to life.
We must resist regressive & cynical moves to rip us out of the convention!

Last week went by in a whirl, with lots of chat in the Scottish Parliament about the Land Reform Bill.
I also managed to get out & about, standing with the community in Banff against racism & hate, and meeting up with regional organisations & people demanding a #JustTransition.

@satwatr.bsky.social is absolutely right: we need urgent action to transform our economy, recognising the entrenched inequalities that exist. Communities & workers are key.

Scotland's drug death record is a tragedy that we need to fix. But that's exactly why I voted against the Right to Addiction Recovery Bill.
Every life lost to drugs is a collective neglect of the real causes of addiction. This Bill wouldn't have addressed those causes (a 🧵)

I also met with @scottishgreens.org colleagues during our conference in Edinburgh, & last weekend stood with the thousands who know Scotland can do better to tackle poverty.
