i think if any politician or journalist uses the word "progressive" they should be asked to define what it means in relation to a spread of policy questions - because I am not sure that what for some is progressivism isn't actually quite reactionary in some places
Could not agree more. I cannot believe we are here again.

SCOTSMAN/ Forbes more popular with public than Swinney - poll #TomorrowsPapersToday
All of this. Spot on.
Hilarious. Side splitting. But it turns out some of the most self styled ‘progressive’ folk are the happiest seeing male sex offenders in women’s jails. And denying women the right to single sex spaces. So progressive swings or reactionary roundabouts? Women deserve better.

This seems like a good time to reshare my in-depth @HolyroodDaily interview with @_KateForbes from last year. I've interviewed a lot of smart people in a lot of senior roles in a lot of different countries - she's up there with the most impressive holyrood.com/inside-politic…
Important thread. Worth also reminding people that the SNP like all other parties allows conscience votes on matters such as abortion etc. So really the attacks on Kate Forbes for her personal religious views need to stop.

I wrote this about Kate Forbes - the most impressive politician in Scotland - last February. To the eternal shame of the SNP, it’s happening again: ‘The targeting of Kate Forbes shames the SNP and Scotland’ heraldscotland.com/politics/viewp…
Today Kate Forbes voted FOR Stage 1 of the Abortion Services (Safe Access Zones) bill. Humza Yousaf was absent. Just as he was for the final vote on equal marriage. So tell me again why Kate Forbes is being is vilified for her faith…
The union @UsdawUnion (which represents workers in the retail, distributive, manufacturing and service sectors) has voted at #USDAW24 to support single sex provisions and ensure clarity of language around sex and gender. 1/3 usdaw.org.uk
This. Humza Yousaf was free to show his faith in Bute House; Kate Forbes dares to show hers and she’s vilified. Why? Answers on the back of any feminist text of your choosing.

Let’s not do this again. I disagree fundamentally with Kate Forbes on a lot of social issues but her faith is personal to her and if she chooses to pray that’s her right, just as it was totally fine for Humza Yousaf to pray in Bute House.

I have to figure out how to not to be the person who won the case, says Jo Phoenix, at the end of an engaging, very human talk. She’s a warrior. We owe her and every other woman who has gone through this harrowing legal process a huge debt.
Fantastic to see Edinburgh Uni now behaving like an actual university, I'm sure in so small part thanks to the fantastic new Rector Simon Fanshawe

@KennyFarq @thetimes I dunno, I quite like the idea of a FM who will stop the chemical sterilisation and surgical mutilation of young gays and lesbians, and however paradoxical that may seem to you, that would appear to be Kate Forbes.
i think if any politician or journalist uses the word "progressive" they should be asked to define what it means in relation to a spread of policy questions - because I am not sure that what for some is progressivism isn't actually quite reactionary in some places

It feels like pure sexism tbh. It’s the same reaction whenever Ash Regan opens her mouth - so many men lining up to condemn her cos she can’t think for herself it seems - has to be Alex Salmond behind her every utterance. It’s not a good look guys.
I find the inability to separate Forbes’ religion from her politics bizarre when people are happy 2 do this for others. The fact so many in SNP didn’t know her views on equal marriage etc b4 she ran last year (hence the upset) surely shows her beliefs don’t colour her politics?

NEW: Whoever leads Scotland next, it can’t be Kate Forbes My column in @thetimes thetimes.co.uk/article/2fdc8a…
Hilarious. Side splitting. But it turns out some of the most self styled ‘progressive’ folk are the happiest seeing male sex offenders in women’s jails. And denying women the right to single sex spaces. So progressive swings or reactionary roundabouts? Women deserve better.
A reader on The Jaggy Thistle (link in my bio) has suggested a campaign slogan for Kate Forbes: "Scotland, Opportunity Knox."
Stop asking, “Where are all the #feminists?” We’re here. We’ve been here throughout. If you’re asking it’s because you didn’t see us. You didn’t hear us. You didn’t care. #CassReview #Cass
This seems like a good time to reshare my in-depth @HolyroodDaily interview with @_KateForbes from last year. I've interviewed a lot of smart people in a lot of senior roles in a lot of different countries - she's up there with the most impressive holyrood.com/inside-politic…
Important thread. Worth also reminding people that the SNP like all other parties allows conscience votes on matters such as abortion etc. So really the attacks on Kate Forbes for her personal religious views need to stop.
Public service reminder to folk commenting on Kate Forbes - Free Church positions on moral questions are almost always identical to official Roman Catholic positions (on contraception/divorce more liberal) so think before writing something about FC you wouldn’t write about RC?
I wrote this about Kate Forbes - the most impressive politician in Scotland - last February. To the eternal shame of the SNP, it’s happening again: ‘The targeting of Kate Forbes shames the SNP and Scotland’ heraldscotland.com/politics/viewp…
Gender was a test And many were found wanting And it wasn’t always the people you expected and the people who stood up to it. Who you needed up arm in arm with. Well, they weren’t always the people you expected either. War throws heroes and villains into sharp relief
Doesn't mean anything. Apropos of nothing. Don't read anything into it but I'm going to see Civil War tomorrow.
It's almost as if it isn't about the way they vote, but about their sex...
Today Kate Forbes voted FOR Stage 1 of the Abortion Services (Safe Access Zones) bill. Humza Yousaf was absent. Just as he was for the final vote on equal marriage. So tell me again why Kate Forbes is being is vilified for her faith…
