Monica Lennon MSP

Anas Sarwar is building a team to serve Scotland, and I’m ready to serve. That’s why I’m applying to be a @ScottishLabour candidate in the Rutherglen & Cambuslang /Cumbernauld & Kilsyth twinned selection. Together, we can achieve so much for the communities and country we love.

Menopause affects half the population. Some of us breeze through it. Others, including me, have a tougher time. Since starting HRT and joining a menopause support group, I’m coping better. Struggling with perimenopause or menopause? You are not alone. sundaypost.com/fp/ive-neglect…

We are grateful to @ScottishLabour MSPs for adding their names in support of our statement on recognition. Alongside yesterday’s statement from @AnasSarwar, it sends a clear message that all Scottish Labour MSPs support recognition of the State of Palestine.

📢From exec producer Michael Moore @MMFlint FROM GROUND ZERO 22 extraordinary stories. 22 Palestinian filmmakers. Living through the unimaginable. Don't look away. In UK & Ireland cinemas from 12 September. London Premiere @GenesisCinema with Q&A.

I support the immediate recognition of the state of Palestine. But that in itself will not end the war. The mass starvation, indiscriminate killing and illegal occupation must end now.

What an emotional day this must be for Paddy Lillis and Deputy General Secretary Dave McCrossen. Good luck to Paddy and Dave on their well deserved retirement. Thank you for everything you have done for workers and their families. @UsdawUnion @UsdawScotland #JoinATradeUnion

The suffering and starvation unfolding in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible.

Consistent with its historic commitment to a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, I have decided that France will recognize the State of Palestine. I will make this solemn announcement before the United Nations General Assembly this coming September.…

A joint statement on Gaza from AFP, AP, BBC News and Reuters

People in Gaza are starving to death. @UNICEF is warning that deadly malnutrition among children is reaching catastrophic levels. Humanitarian aid at scale is urgently needed. Safe, unrestricted access into Gaza must be granted to save lives.

The UK must immediately recognise Palestinian statehood. There can be no two state solution if there is no viable state left to call Palestine.

THIS IS A MAN-MADE FAMINE. 1 in every 3 people in Gaza goes without food for several days, while 9,000 trucks full of aid waiting at the border. Forced starvation is an act of genocide.

Israel is continuing to use starvation as a method of warfare, a war crime, and as a tool to commit genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip. The harrowing suffering of starving Palestinians in Gaza, including our own colleagues, on an hourly basis, is…

Hundreds of Israelis are now marching in the center of Tel Aviv against the starvation of Gaza at the hands of the Israeli government. Some are holding sacks of flour.

Thanks to everyone in Portobello who took the time to speak to us tonight. Lots of conversations about local and national issues. Many people realising that Scotland needs a #newdirection and the SNP are out of ideas!

In the 10 years I've known Monica, she's consistently been the most hard working, committed and successful campaigner I've worked with. She is a brilliant MSP and we'd be lucky to have her represent Rutherglen .
