RT @PGtwweets: The work @ForwomenScot do is invaluable under this hostile Scottish Government. If I can pay £10 pm to a TV streaming service then I can do the same to help in the ongoing fight for women's rights. ✊ https://t.co/SI9rlF...
During the time Sturgeon was FM members of her party, including @joannaccherry & @JoanMcAlpine were subject to grotesque abuse from men in the party. Women's orgs like ours are regularly traduced by men in the party or officers of Gov funded ...
