“The EU’s highest court has found Hungary’s anti-LGBTQ+ law to be discriminatory, stigmatising and in breach of basic democratic values…”
This is a crucial decision. The court rejected the political claim that LGBTQ+ representation is “propaganda.” We must keep fighting politics that dehumanise us.

Overheard in strathbungo: ‘ we’ve got sourdough at home which we’ve not even eaten. Which is frustrating!’

Graphic explains that people seeking asylum receive very little money from the government. UK asylum system support covers £9.95 weekly in hotels or £49.18 in self-catered housing.
An asylum seeker is someone who has asked for protection in the UK and is waiting for the Home Office to make a decision on their claim. A refugee is someone whose claim has been accepted because they have proven they’re at risk of serious harm in their home country.
Less than 7,000 people are seeking asylum in Scotland. People seeking asylum do not get priority access to housing or healthcare. People seeking asylum do not live in luxury hotels, they live in cramped hotel rooms with strangers.
Infographic explaining why most refugees stay in neighboring countries and the UK hosts less than 1% of the world’s refugees due to connections and language.
We've seen a lot of divisive language and misinformation about people seeking safety lately.
This is the reality of claiming asylum and being a refugee in Scotland 👇

I think our horrible neighbour who’s been randomly letting off fireworks at all times of day/night and threatened to kill our downstairs neighbour if he called the police has been taken away in the back of a police van 😮💨
Matt Goodwin, ex-academic & failed Reform candidate in Gorton & Denton, is in the pay of Viktor Orbán's authoritarian regime in Hungary. Goodwin for all his rhetoric about 'national sovereignty' and 'taking back control' is in the pay of a foreign government.

Such a good song. They were so good in Glasgow on Tuesday 🥹
Another triumph for deregulation! By saving a few million in monitoring and enforcement, our governments have landed us with a vast illegal waste dumping problem, new organised crime networks and a clean-up bill that could run to tens of billions.
