It was an absolute privilege to be on the streets of Falkirk today and to be invited to speak at the huge Unity rally. No sign of Farage on the streets, of course - he was hidden behind the walls of a posh hotel. Sums him up. #RefugeesWelcome #ScotlandDemandsBetter

If there is one group in our community who are not recognised the way they should be then it has to be the care sector. Considered to be unskilled when they are not, badly paid and the way they were last in the queue for protective PPE during the covid crisis was shocking. #ScotlandDemandsBetter!

Good to see the Church of Scotland moderator take part in #ScotlandDemandsBetter. Speaking to the listening crowd Rosie shared her time as a school chaplain asking the children what they want for themselves then sharing Jesus' golden rule of wanting the same for their neighbour as for themselves.

Public services are the foundation of a fair Scotland, yet too many workers delivering them are living in poverty. Change happens when we stand together and demand investment in people, not cuts. #ScotlandDemandsBetter

Today was about hope. Hope for a better Scotland where all of us have enough to flourish. To stand beside friends and colleagues and demand this loudly was a complete joy.
