    Glad to take all chances to keep the pressure up and Myanmar 🇲🇲 on the agenda.

    Thank you for supporting this EDM in Parliament, calling on strong UK government action against the Myanmar military including global arms embargo and ICC referral. 98 members of Parliament have now signed the motion.

    The Scottish Government has created a Social Security System based of dignity, fairness and human rights. Meanwhile the Tories in Westminster have created a cruel system that does very little to help the most vulnerable.

    A productive conversation this morning with some of Stirling’s local church groups. A power of work supporting communities through the pandemic, and keeping the faith - even if virtually in some cases!

    Just finished tomorrow’s column on the unseemly (and incredibly timed) row with the Tories trying to overrule Holyrood on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (below). A choice of two Unions right enough.
