Q Manivannan: “So in some ways I feel trans people are already ready for politics. We just need more of them in there.”

Edinburgh is stronger than hate. We will stand together as a community, united against those who seek to spread fear and division.

I will always stand with and for victims and survivors.

As a survivor of sexual violence, who has spoken openly about my recovery, I am clear that we need to focus on reducing the likelihood of perpetrators of rape reoffending.

The attacks in Edinburgh were horrific, and our thoughts are with those who have been injured and their loved ones.
