God isn't the issue. Lots of people believe in God without also believing that a minority group deserves fewer rights than them, and plenty of religious people understand why acting to impose that belief on others (which Forbes admitted she would have done) is wrong.

This is the inevitable outcome of this government's inhumanity. Everyone in the sector has been warning that its plans would see people drop out of the asylum system and go "underground". Sunak et al have created a traffickers dream come true. #r4today bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

A graceful resignation speech. Two things: 1. This will distract from, and further stall, action on rising poverty + inequality. 2. There will be an assumption that moving closer to centre/right saves the SNP. It won’t, and it certainly won’t deliver progress on the above.
Again though, it’s not about who they vote with, it’s about expecting unconditional support after such a mishandled and abrupt ending of an agreement between the two parties…how else did anyone think this was going to go? Honestly baffling.

I know Scottish Politics attention is elsewhere right now - but please make time to read this. The UK Gov is pushing on with its Rwanda scheme as quickly and harmfully as possible before more of the international community (inc human rights orgs) can respond.

It can’t be a red line because it was always going to be rejected. Extraordinary/disheartening that we are back in a position where Salmond is at the centre of Scottish politics.

As has been held in a number of different ECHR cases touching a number of different areas of law; private thoughts or ones beliefs are not a critical or central consideration when introducing restrictions or limitations. It is the manner in which those thoughts are manifest. 🧵
Silent prayer (private thoughts) must be explicitly exempted from this proposed law.
She said she'd have voted against equal marriage due to her chosen religious beliefs & would thus have been attempting to impose her views on others through her parliamentary position. Sorry if that's somehow inconvenient for you. And how do you know how Yousaf would have voted?
@MrMcEnaney She did nothing of the sort. Had she been there her No vote would have made no difference. Humza would also have voted no, had he not manufactured an excuse to miss the vote. Such votes are usually treated as free votes, not government votes.
Very silly response from a government spokesperson.
Polling expert John Curtice has delivered his verdict on where Humza Yousaf quitting leaves the SNP thenational.scot/news/24286788.…
Congrats @GillianMacMSP for getting the Safe Access Bill to Stage 1. It wouldn’t have been possible without the courageous campaign led by @backoffscotland and the support of many, including crucially @scotgov. I’ll vote for it tonight and urge all MSPs to back it at Stage 1.
This is a key stage for my bill. Today MSPs will have the opportunity to vote on its principles ahead of amendments. This can and must be a moment of unity for our Parliament. I am proud to have the support of MSPs from all parties. greens.scot/news/parliamen…
In delivering its primary aim: securing the election of governments chosen by and accountable to the Scottish electorate.
Genuine question: in what sense can Scottish devolution be considered a success?
Future generations will one day ask what we did while Palestinians were being massacred in Gaza. @HumzaYousaf will be able to answer that question better than most politicians.
Political opinions aside, I’ve spent a fair amount of time with MSPs and @HumzaYousaf is one of the most personable characters. He also initiated much of the work on trauma informed justice, which as we know, is very close to my heart. Wishing him luck on his next endeavours.
Pretty certain Salmond was just lying here, desperately squeezing the last drop of relevance from a situation in which he and his sub-1% party never had any significant role to play.
Alex Salmond: "This idea that Humza Yousaf didn't want to do a deal with Alba is simply untrue. At 7.30 this morning he was trying to do a deal with Alba and complimented the proposals we'd made as 'very reasonable'." But Salmond says the SNP "old guard" blocked it.
A weak failing administration grappling internal party issues, rapid turnaround of leaders, lack of meaningful alternatives all point to not just a party but a system of government in crisis that should now be abolished. But enough about UK politics in London am I right boom boom
Please, parachuting commentariat, at LEAST stop spelling Humza Yousaf’s name wrong. It’s the bare minimum.
i’ve been in scotland 2.5 years and spent last year drafting strategy for a scottish climate org. whatever the hell just happened here, i will always commend @HumzaYousaf for defending palestinians’ dignity and rights while so many opportunists endorsed collective punishment.
Different political parties. Different political views. Different positions. Different parts of the UK. What could be the link? It’s a real head-scratcher.
More than 5 years of explaining & analysing the big stories of the week. It was always a privilege. A place of respect where widely differing views could be discussed civilly. Thank you to our amazing panelists & #BBCSevenDays crew. And I got to work with this guy …..👇🏻❤️❤️
*in the way that he did* is emphasised here for a reason. There's a feeling the SNP could hardly afford to wait a month to see what Green members did on BHA, and I'm inclined to agree, but a short notice u-turn ejection to "show strength" was bewilderingly stupid.
Humza Yousaf on his way out as First Minister. Using a unit he mentioned last week, his time in office lasted just over 8 Liz Trusses. Ending the BHA, specifically *in the way that he did*, will go down as one of the worst lapses in judgement in Scottish political history.
Dan, who voted for the Safety of Rwanda Bill, would like you to know he thinks the Conservatives ‘have become a nationalist party of the right that has abandoned compassion’ theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
The rehabilitation of Alex "Sleepy Cuddle" Salmond is happening in front of our eyes and I am deeply uncomfortable with it.
Not a serious offer by Alex Salmond. It’s almost like Alba is a revenge mission to bring down the SNP.
Absolutely incredible turn out for our Govanhill Spring Clean and community meal today. Organised in conjunction with local orgs, residents and the Al Farooq mosque. Over 100 people came to meet their neighbours and improve the local environment.
Amazing news from University Of York. Big UK win! Demanding BDS works. Well done everyone involved🇵🇸
