RT @jmgillies: Shereen was reasonable and calm throughout this interview. The same can't be said of her opponent. Although, loudly denouncing @ForWomenScot as "Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump" was an entertaining way to lose the debate. ...

This is sounding more positive from @UKLabour. Please that @AnasSarwar says that "you can't argue with biology". We hope that you will meet with ourselves, @LabWomenDec & @LesbianLabour to explore this further. https://t.co/1FqFIo...

Slater's co-leader @patrickharvie has accused those concerned by her outrageous, untruthful comments of "wild overreaction". A "wild overreaction" might be accusing UK groups of being funded by the US right, or saying @BBCNews platforms ...
