Labels and language are so important. Time for some priceless economics and a re-think from policy-makers and economists. What to do @sarah_bee13 @ruthpatrick0 @tartan1314 @TSIScotNet ??

We had a wonderful time at our @vgbfriendmentor YPBS Celebration event! It was brilliant to have so many people there 🎉 Thank you to our marvellous speakers - Tom, Carole, Hunter, and Mary - and to ThreeSixty Architecture for being such generous and welcoming hosts! 🥳

Huge congratulations to all of the shortlisted nominees for Glasgow's Sport Awards 2024! 🥳 We're thrilled to partner with @Glasgow_Sport and @glasgowlife on the Volunteer of the Year Award 🤝🎉

In this @heraldscotland piece I call on Labour to (finally) start talking about social security as a force for good & a key investment in all of our futures (drawing on work with @changing_r @CPAGScotland @RobertsonTrust ) heraldscotland.com/politics/viewp…

Inclusion Scotland's CEO, Heather Fisken, shares: "Yes we will still work with @scotgov but we cannot endorse this plan as it stands" in regards to the #DisabilityEqualityPlan. We are uniting with @DEScotTweets and @GDA__online to #DemandJustice. #DisabledPeopleDemandJustice

How can we persuade @scotgov and @10DowningStreet to make the fundamental mind shift that will build a society free from the injustice of poverty? Join our annual conference to explore #MakingChangeHappen together. tfaforms.com/5142796

A question for the panel during their visit to Glasgow - you may or may not agree that Scotland becoming independent is a good idea, but why do you think the idea inspired so many people, and what could Westminster do to persuade more Scots to support the status quo #TRIPLIVE

Short thread on this story: The PM has to be so careful with what he's saying here. The "work first" approach of his predecessors has failed. Poverty has not fallen while employment has risen. We need compassion in the system, not stigma 1/6 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

🎗️ Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. Never has it been more important to use the word suicide. Talking about suicide reduces the risk. It might not be an easy conversation, but if you are worried about a friend or loved one ask them. "Are you thinking about suicide?" 🔄
