@__MatthewQuinn Much appreciated Matthew. We didn’t agree on much but we still worked together. That’s exactly what’s been missing. Youth democracy should be about open debate, not shutting down views.

Connor and I agreed on virtually nothing in our time in the Scottish and UK Youth Parliaments.
Despite this, we still worked well together for the benefit of the young people who elected us.
The Scottish Youth Parliament’s fate as a crumbling institution was entirely avoidable.

I’ve resigned from both the Scottish Youth Parliament and the UK Youth Parliament. Youth democracy should be about open debate and representing all views. In my experience, that hasn’t always been the case. Full statement below.

Honoured to receive the Youth Lifetime Achievement Award at the Who Dares Cares Charity Night. I’ve volunteered with this charity for most of my life, and in youth politics I’ve worked to stand up for young people from Armed Forces families. Proud to keep advocating. #ArmedForces

Today we remember those who gave their lives for the freedom of Britain and Europe. My great-uncle Alasdair MacLeod, a Royal Navy signalman, was killed in 1944 when HM Roode Zee was torpedoed during D-Day preparations. We must protect the freedoms they died for. #Remembrance

@Jackson_Carlaw Thank you Jackson, for raising this issue. The Union Flag is a symbol of unity and heritage. Schools must respect this and promote inclusion. We urge @EastRenCouncil for a swift apology and to engage young people in dialogue on respect for our national symbols.
English

I am both angry and concerned to learn that an official letter (now confirmed as genuine) issued by the head teacher of a primary school in East Renfrewshire has suggested the use of the Union Flag amounts to "sectarian messaging".
Let me be clear - to equate the Union Flag with sectarianism is totally unacceptable and deeply offensive to people both locally and across Scotland.
Having spoken with a senior official at @EastRenCouncil this morning, I expect an urgent response, resolution and retraction.
As a start, the council must issue an unconditional apology.
Our national flag is not up for debate - it is a symbol of our tradition, unity as a nation and hope for so many.

English

A headteacher in East Renfrewshire described the Union Flag as “potentially offensive or sectarian.” This is deeply concerning. The Union Flag is a national symbol that represents unity, heritage, and shared values across the UK. 🇬🇧 #ScottishPolitics #YouthVoice #education

Honoured to represent the young people of Central Scotland at today’s VE Day 80th Anniversary Flag Raising Ceremony in Hamilton.
80 years on, we remember the bravery, sacrifice & legacy of those who gave everything for our future.

After the UK Supreme Court ruled “sex” in the Equality Act means biological sex, protests in Edinburgh and London led to statue vandalism. Debate is fine, but silencing dissent and damaging monuments is not. We must protect free speech and women’s rights. #GenderDebate

Honoured to speak in the House of Commons with the UK Youth Parliament, calling for political literacy in the curriculum. A strong democracy needs informed citizens. let’s empower the next generation of Britain! 🇬🇧
