An inspiring evening at
@womeninfootball.co.ukβs networking event in the Scottish Parliament.
Great discussion about how we can advance women and girls football across Scotland.
Good to have the opportunity to catch-up with those leading the way as well as meet some legends of the game β½οΈπ΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ
Today, I spoke in Parliament during the βTackling violence against women and girlsβ debate. I shared my own experience and the deeply moving stories of my constituents.
Together, we must break the silence, challenge abuse, and work toward a future free from fear and violence.

After an almost 3 month running hiatus I felt there was no better time to get back to it than the 1st of January!
A 5k to kickstart 2025 - lovely sunset too πββοΈ!
Happy New Year everyone β¨!
I had such a brilliant time welcoming attendees & hosting a table on behalf of the Lord Provost at this afternoonβs Senior Citizens Senior Lunch.
Every year the city invites thousands of Senior Citizens to the Banqueting Hall for some good food, great music & lovely chats π
Lovely to join Bailie Linda Pike & Santa as we helped welcome hundreds of kids with additional support needs to Glasgowβs City Chambers for a Christmas Party!
Thanks to teachers, caregivers & staff for all they do!
There was dancing, balloons & a wee gift from the man himself π

Just taking a moment to think about how normal it is now for women to have a job that is talking, writing, or presenting on football.
It was inconceivable not that long ago. There is much progress still to make, but I'm proud of all of them πͺβ½οΈ

Sundays are for the SWPL β½οΈ!
A big night for Glasgow Labour - 3 by-elections, 3 wins!
Huge congratulations to Dr Davena Rankin, Marie Garrity & Mary McNab!
Iβm really excited to see 3 strong women join our Labour Group - I know theyβll be champions for their local communitiesπΉ
The anxiety & stress fireworks cause to many constituents & animals far outweighs the few seconds of magic they may provide.
My latest Clydebank Post column on why Iβm supporting the campaign for tighter regulations & calls to ban fireworks for private use:

Could your MSP be key to ensuring the Ecocide Bill is debated in Holyrood?
We can help protect the environment in Scotland and deter polluters by making Ecocide a crime. Take action now by asking your MSPs to back @monicalennon.bsky.social's #EcocideLaw.
Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance, an important day to remember those who have lost their lives to prejudice, hatred, and violence.
We stand with the LGBTQ community, and in particular our transgender friends on this solemn day.
All about that cross-party working π
It was especially nice to get updates from Glasgow Community Energy who have been leading the way in the city for many years & to be introduced to other co-ops who are showing the real positives they can bring to communities!
Thanks to @anthonycarroll.bsky.social for organising!!
Glasgow has such a proud history when it comes to co-operatives & it was great to hear more about co-ops from across the city now playing such a key role in itβs future at the βCo-ops & the Councilβ event today.
Lots to think about how we as a Council can support them further π
