    I wholeheartedly agree to this. Having volunteered for the past year with a homeless charity here in Edinburgh I know only too well the challenges faced. We must do more and make ending homelessness a priority.

    Excellent hustings by last night chaired by . Great also to see a question aired about how to avoid conflict between cyclists and pedestrians (esp disabled). Important in itself, but also vital to maximise public support for cycling investment.

    Thanks to for the hustings tonight. It was great to have the insightful challenging questions on active transport. Also thanks to Cycling Uk for setting it up - it was interesting to realise I am the cyclist for their campaign!

    The SNP spent more on the Shetland by-election than they did on their entire European referendum campaign.

    The moment in the 2014 referendum that summed up Shirley so well. She listened attentively to an independence supporter for ten minutes, holding her hand. I tried to nudge her on to someone who might be persuaded but she was having none of it. She built bridges all her life.

    Such sad news today - thoughts are with the Queen and her family today.

    This marks the end of an outstanding life of 99 years and decades of outstanding public service too. Often colourful, sometimes controversial but always dedicated to his wife, The Queen, and to his country.

    The scottish government is considering vaccine ID cards in Scotland. Thus creating a two-track society which limits access to services, tourism, hospitality and businesses which will rely on footfall. Sign our petition!

    At least he’s starting to understand the nature of UK interdependency, even if it is in pursuit of an illiberal nonsense policy

    Critically Blackford is arguing the SNP has the right to vote on Covid passports even though it would only impact England. He argues Scots would be affected who visit to see friends or work.
