    I remember having to get my school uniform with a voucher in BHS, hiding information about school trips and my mum having to work three jobs to keep us afloat. This is ground breaking work and I'm so proud of for driving it.

    When we talk about free education in Scotland we always focus on universities only or argue about who scrapped what and when. Today in we agreed to start a conversation and a huge piece of work to drive down the cost of the school day. Thread:

    Opinion is already diverging on what should be 's new logo. I'm not gonna lie, there is OBVIOUSLY a right answer here. In our members I trust.

    Happy 15th birthday to one of my favourite songs. Natalie Maine criticised George Bush's violent invasion of Iraq. The band was then hounded off TV and radio. In an inspiring response to cancel culture, she wrote a song about it that won 3 Grammys and sold two million copies.

    This is my long-read on the fall-out from the Salmond allegations and everything that followed: the impact on the complainers, the party, the independence movement and all women who have suffered harassment.

    The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past. Link lived in kinship care with his uncle until he was murdered. He then went on to avenge his death and save the world, enlisting the support of others along the way. A humble hero, I loved him.

    When I joined , Neil was held up as the benchmark for what MSPs could do with their status and power in order to help others. So much of what he's done, and the way he's made people bristle, has been because he has listened to people who often struggle to be heard.

    Today was my last speech in Parliament after 10 years as an MSP. Thanks to all my parliamentary team, my family, friends and constituents for their support over the last decade. It’s been the privilege of my life. 1/5

    Nobody does qualification for Eurovision like Sweden. They'll be sending this banger of a track to Rotterdam. Tusse will be singing it. Tusse is 19, won Swedish Idol and has lived in foster care since arriving in Sweden alone, as a refugee from Congo.

    Really interesting and important response to being defined by other people. They've taken Patsy Palmer's experiences and crammed them into a reductive, binary headline without her consent. How obviously upsetting and invalidating this is will stay with me.
