@ScotRail just watched a young person carry their bike up and down stairs & through crowds in Waverley Station. With more people opting to cycle, do make it easier and accessible to go thro the station.

First Minister @JohnSwinney hosted a Brand Scotland reception in partnership with the @ScottishFA in Boston, celebrating Scottish culture, tourism, innovation and food and drink. He spoke about US-Scotland trade links and Scotland's ambitions on the world stage.

There's no place for sexual harassment in society. Don't be a bystander - if you see it, report it. If you're a victim, please do let @BTP know what's happened. You will be believed and supported. You can text the police anytime on 61016 but always call 999 in an emergency.

@80s_Kidz Plastic.... away!!! To remind you of the experience of the sound and taste for life!

Train today and noticed a number of female staff @ScotRail from drivers, to catering to those assisting disabled and elderly travellers 👏👏👏 Good to see the diversity.

Forcing people back to the office backfires. Data on >3M tech & finance workers: After return-to-office mandates, firms lose stars and struggle to attract new talent. The most likely to quit are senior, skilled, & female employees. Flexibility is a feature of a great workplace.

@JohnSwinney Pre election sweetener 🤔 costing how much? Greener & easier? Still costs money to travel 🤷‍♀️

@BBCNews Delays to the roads projects could have been avoid and continue to be delayed or stalled as the transport authority does not work to deadlines. More time is spent producing docs than delivering projects. All ministers can do is provide quotes than results!

@scotlibdems No surprises. Transport Scot take forever to make any decisions! instead of proceeding and procuring suitable services they procrastinate! Poor project management! Managers who don't make decisions but waste time.

If @theSNP did marketing, here's "Born in Scotland" or "Brewed in Scotland"

@Edinburgh_CC what's being done to address homelessness in the city?!

@RoryStewartUK @elonmusk Musk et al theguardian.com/us-news/2025/a…

Wow!! Twitter X is a cesspit!!

@lyceumedinburgh Connor Burns was a good idea. His support act from Australia, not so good (out of date & obvious jokes and lines; backwards comedy on racism, sexism, disability).

@scotgov @JohnSwinney These were the same goals previously promised in past years. What has been achieved so far? More accountability of spend and returns needed than words.

A soldier, a nurse, a lorry driver, a builder, a baker… these are just some of the men accused of the rape and assault of Gisèle Pelicot. By labelling rapists as “monsters,” we actively distance them from ordinary men, ignoring the reality that sexual violence against women is a deliberate choice made by countless men who walk all parts of our society. Such labels prevent us from confronting the truth this trial now holds up to the world: that many men walk freely in our communities, appearing trusted and safe, yet actively choose to commit acts of violence against women and girls… Many of the men accused in this trial have attempted to normalise their acts of sexual violence by framing their behaviour as a misunderstanding of consent, and even a reaction to personal struggles. These excuses do not mitigate their actions. Some of the men conceded they ‘should have left’ when they saw Gisèle Pelicot was unconscious, whilst others have been more explicit in their views towards women earlier in life, “I had a hatred towards women.” This normalisation by these men of their violent behaviours creates a disturbing disparity, minimising the seriousness of their crimes and shifting focus away from the harm of the victim. One of the men accused went as far to state he was ‘was simply following her husband’s instructions,’ going as far to directly tell Gisèle Pelicot in court: “It’s not me you should be angry with, it’s your husband,” This is an abhorrent case. Yet, it is an incredible survivor, Gisèle Pelicot, who in choosing to waive her anonymity now holds these ‘ordinary’ men up to the world, to show the full extent of the crimes. To stare down that the men who committed these acts were characters who occupied the community in her life, even ones she unwittingly greeted in her everyday life: “I saw him now and then in the bakery; I would say hello. I never thought he’d come and rape me,” - Gisèle Pelicot ➡️ theguardian.com/world/2024/oct…
