📢The @scotgov public consultation on the care leaver payment, which @ScotGovFM launched at our participation space earlier this month, is now live. Make sure you share your views by the 26th Jan at consult.gov.scot/children-an…
Yesterday, First Minister @HumzaYousaf met care experienced young people at @StafScot.
At the visit, the First Minister announced plans for a Care Leaver Payment of £2,000.
The payment will be co-designed with care experienced people to ensure it meets their needs.

Bernard's mother and family went out of their way to tell me that they would be praying for my family in Gaza. We hugged, we cried, and we promised to re-dedicate ourselves to peace and to be unequivocal; no innocent man, woman, or child should pay the price of another's actions.
First Minister @HumzaYousaf attended a service of prayer and solidarity last night with Scotland’s Jewish community.
Expressing sorrow for those who lost loved ones, he said @scotgov stands in solidarity with all communities in Scotland suffering the loss of innocent life.

My brother-in-law, a doctor in Gaza, is spending his seventh consecutive day in hospital. Nadia spoke to him & said he should go home to rest, his response "I can't leave my people when they need me."
Health workers in Gaza are heroes.

The people of Gaza are a proud people.
Many don't want to leave, and shouldn't have to.
But for those displaced, who want to leave, there should be a worldwide refugee scheme.
Scotland is willing to be a place of sanctuary and be the first country to take those refugees.

Shameful that UK citizens trapped in Gaza dont even get a mention. Might be helpful if you give them at least a passing mention in your discussions.
They're trapped in a warzone & need you, Foreign Secretary, to demand a ceasefire, and the Rafah crossing opened to let them out.
Whilst @RishiSunak is in Israel, I’m in Egypt, Qatar and Turkey.
My goals are clear:
Secure the release of British hostages.
Stop the violence spreading to the region.
Ensure emergency aid can get into Gaza.

Gordon and I have known Ann Gloag for many years through her huge personal commitment to Freedom from Fistula and supporting girls' health & education. She is a remarkable campaigner and quietly generous charity supporter. These charges just don't add up.

Today @KevinStewartSNP met with @tipherethltd.
By meeting with people directly we are gaining valuable insights of what people with learning disabilities and additional support needs want from a National Care Service.

How do you come back as a young man who at the age of 17 had his life changed by a knife attack. You set up a gym of course and mix physical & mental exercise to support others . A must listen piece of radio bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001cx…

Liz Truss: “Once they enter the workplace, the British are among the worst idlers in the world.“
Well she has a point. #ThickLizzie

Enough is enough. In the U.S. and across the world, working people are fighting back. They are sick and tired of seeing the rich get richer, while workers fall further and further behind. We stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in the UK.
Enough is enough. It's time to turn anger into action.
Join the campaign to fight the cost-of-living crisis.

We have the most profound and bizarre psychological block against providing assistance to people in need in cash.
We insist against all evidence that they will mostly waste it.
In fact cash is the single most practical, efficient and effective intervention for improving lives.
