For many Palestinian students currently stuck in Gaza, a place in a Scottish university is a lifeline.

It is vital that these students are given the support and safe passage that they need to come and study here in Scotland now, not next year or in the future.

I think it’s really disappointing that we’ve seen stuff like this guidance come into place when the UK Government didn’t need to do as such.

I understand that this is a challenging physical environment and I will never push that away, but we need to understand that housing is a human right, and everyone deserves a good house.

I think it says that people are tired with the establishment parties and that they’re really looking for something different.

I will be absolutely challenging the Government where appropriate to ensure that we get more houses built, that houses are cheaper, and that our rented sector is accessible to everyone.

The political climate has changed, and I think we absolutely need to acknowledge that.

There are people in this country that are waiting more than 10 years to get a social home.

There are 65 new MSPs. We’re all very much going with the flow… and yes, I am transgender, but that’s never been the most interesting thing about my life, and often isn’t something that comes into everyday life.

Nobody, and I mean absolutely nobody, should be afraid of interacting with this fantastic city because of the colour of their skin.

It does make me feel quite sick.

This is against the wishes of that boy's family, they're already grieving, which is horrific.

You know that we really need to be calling out that this is an odious level of reactionary politics, and that's basically what it is.

We need to remember that this is the party that said the week of the election, if you vote Green, we're going to put detention camps in your areas.
