No one should face violence at work - but for too many shop workers it has become routine. Today the law changes thanks to my members bill creating a specific offence and statutory aggravation for abusing or assaulting shop workers. @UsdawUnion @CoopParty #notpartofthejob

The Independent Care Review concluded that Scotland must strive to become a nation that does not restrain its children. As it does so, changes must take place to support the workforce and ensure that all instances of restraint are properly recorded and monitored. (🧵1/3)

Than you for this contribution and your support.

It’s 10 years since the opening of the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. Within only a few months, I had been contacted by whistleblowers and families over issues at the hospital. What we uncovered is nothing short of the biggest scandal in the history of devolution. Read…

The new superman movie is great. But gifting us this meme as a response to all internet trolls is its true contribution to civilisation. If you don’t understand- go watch the movie.

ICYMI: @AnasSarwar 🗣️ "I’m ready to lead a Scottish Labour government that will renew our public services, bolster our economy and give Scotland the NHS it deserves." dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/…

Labour ended austerity and will deliver £14 billion more for the Scottish Government since coming to office. But with the Scottish NHS ‘dying before our eyes’ under the SNP, people will rightly ask where is the money going? Time for a new direction with @AnasSarwar

We sometimes act as though technology is only relevant to the tech sector but the truth is technology is critical for every business in Scotland. I have been pleased to be engaging with firms like @Arup and @prosperscot as @ScottishLabour develop a new direction for Scotland.

Half a million homes in Scotland are already paying less for energy under a Labour government.

John Swinney was warned a year ago that buying buses from China put Alexander Dennis at risk. Labour Mayor @AndyBurnhamGM invested in the company but the SNP did nothing. While Swinney blames everyone but himself @ScottishLabour are doing what we can to save industry in Scotland.

Street surgery in Badger Park tonight. Met two more families forced to go private to get help for their kids because under the SNP CAHMs waiting lists are years long. ADHD & autism services are effectively privatised under the SNP. A @ScottishLabour govt will end this scandal.

Scotland’s NHS will not survive a third decade of John Swinney and the SNP.

Pleased to host a reception with @SFE_tweets_ and @MorganStanley to mark 25 years of MS in Scotland. From 6 staff in Cumbernauld to 2,400 in Glasgow, it’s a great example of Scotland’s financial services sector and shows the talent we have that can generate growth in our economy.

“Put bluntly, I don’t believe the NHS will survive a third decade of John Swinney and the SNP” Scottish Labour’s Anas Sarwar says the waiting times for NHS Scotland patients are “completely unacceptable” and there is a “need for change” #bbcqt

Let’s be clear: The Scottish Government have effectively privatised diagnosis and treatment of ADHD. People without a diagnosis have no choices so if CAHMs isn't the right route, when will the Government tell us what is?

ADHD and autism services have been effectively privatised under the SNP. A Scottish Labour government will rebuild our NHS and tackle scandalous waits for ADHD and autism support. heraldscotland.com/news/25267043.…

Labour’s new industrial strategy is backing British business. This plan will drive economic growth and deliver the change we’ve promised. Across the country, the Government is leading the way in promoting our national industries.

By denying access to diagnosis and refusing to prescribe the SNP is effectively privatising the diagnosis of treatment of adhd and autism. It is a scandal.

'It feels like the Scottish Government wants us to disappear' Ahead of a ministerial statement today, Labour MSP @djohnsonmsp said the SG's response to a report on autistic people is “Orwellian”. Story for @heraldscotland @HeraldPols here: heraldscotland.com/news/25267043.…
