I said yesterday in the Debate that I would use every opportunity to vote against the Rwanda Bill - that includes votes not held in public view.
Let me introduce you to the Reasons Committee...

The number of children affected by the UK Tory Government's two child limit goes up every year.
No one can predict how life will run - especially given the pandemic - and it is completely unfair to penalise the minority of families who have more than two children. #AllKidsCount

Fabulous night at the Strathbungo Window Wanderland - the Bungo Juke Box had people boogying even in the rain! Well done to @SmillieSarah and all who brightened the streets with their creativity. #BungoWindows#WindowWanderland
Going to tweet a wee thread of windows as we saw them - hope you enjoy! #BungoWindows#WindowWanderland
