Cross reference this list with the MSPs who voted against the #Unbuyable bill… then launch an investigation to their finances and hard drives. Anyone voting against grooming gang inquiries AND the prostitution bill needs investigated.

All 64 MSPs in @ScotParl who voted against @AshReganMSP Unbuyable bill should read this and hang their heads in shame. Nothing changes until those with the power to make change, act! @scotgov making excuses to to act for 19 years is simply shameful.

The murder of Fiona Ivison, in 1993, should have been a lesson. Police and social workers could have learned from this tragedy (piece in reply).

@akuareindorf @CrunchAlias The Scottish court is arguing that preventing a man from killing himself is more important than preventing him from killing a woman, wow.

If brave Virgina’s sexual exploitation had happened in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I’m afraid that given Scottish sex trade survivors experience, Scottish Government, would refuse to meet her. When pressured to do act, the minister ‘responsible’, wouldn’t call for action but a commission. #UnbuyableBill

Imagine if Virginia Giuffre had never spoken up. We probably would never have heard about this scandal. Thank you to her for having the courage to speak up.

After refusing my FMQ request to meet survivors of prostitution, ignoring 2 letters requesting to meet survivors, 2 days AFTER voting against the Stage 1 principles of Unbuyable Bill - @scotgov claim to support… tonight I received a ‘response’ from the @ScotGovFM

Spot on piece which highlights the absurd rubbish spouted by @MaggieChapman & @agcolehamilton "if prostitution is indeed a “meaningful and fulfilling” career that provides “a good living”, will any Scottish politicians be eager to give it a whirl, after the public votes them out?" "we can’t wish murder away, either. Or burglary, assault, or for that matter any other evil we care to name. So does that mean there’s no point criminalising them, either? If it’s impossible to prevent a bad thing from happening every time, should we simply allow it to happen all the time?" telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/02/0…

@LetAlbaFlourish @_sarahmasson @scotgov Then they had the audacity to moan they hadn't heard survivors voices. We were sitting in the gallery listening to their lies, after months of screaming at them to listen to us!

“The way [Epstein] viewed women and girls - as playthings to be used and discarded - is not uncommon among certain powerful men who believe they are above the law. Many of those men are still going about their daily lives, enjoying the benefits of their power.” - Virginia Giuffre

@ForWomenScot @JacciStoyle @theSNP Steve Wright in the news this week for another murder. Known as a ‘good’ punter. He killed 5 women trapped in prostitution, probably more. The SNP just voted for him & not verbally women & girls. Shame on them. They heard the truth and chose the sex trade.

If they believed in the principles, they'd support it. If Bills had to be perfect at Stage 1 we could dispose of Stages 2 & 3. So, is @theSNP cosying up to the pimp lobby or do they just really resent Ash? And what are these mysterious "concerns". They never say!
Austin Sheridan@AustinRSheridan

I think this is a terrible attitude. To suggest those who have concerns about the bill, may not believe in it’s principles or the fact the legislation would be rushed and not get it right somehow means you find what Epstein has done any less deplorable is completely wrong!

Scotland’s government ignored overwhelming evidence and survivor testimony and sided with the sex trade. They protected buyers, shielded profiteers, and abandoned exploited women. Cowardice over justice. Careerism over conscience

Shameful from @theSNP What amendments do they want? They passed much more flawed legislation in the past - remember the push to get hate crime through in time with last minute amendments & chaos. The fact is, they don't want to protect these women & they want to punish @AshReganMSP
Paul Hutcheon@paulhutcheon

EXC: The SNP Government will not be supporting a Bill criminalising sex buying in a vote tomorrow. Minister Siobhian Brown said there is not enough time to amend the Bill and deal with concerns over the plan. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…

As Regan closes, Harvie sits turned away from her, Chapman looks to be on her phone, Cole-Hamilton looks down, hand on chin, only Neil Gray on the Government front bench is turned towards Ash. Labour and Tories turned to watch her.

Ash Regan reads out reviews from buyers of sex in her closing speech in the Unbuyable Bill debate: "This is the mentality of the men you are being asked to protect by not backing my Bill."
