Just on my way to #SYP68. Have been following on social media and been so impressed with the positivity and energy from @OfficialSYP MSYPs over the last couple of days. Looking forward to seeing it in person. – at Edinburgh, Scotland

Note to the cynics: cops on duty outside Holyrood parliament tell me ‘if only every demonstration was this well organised and good natured we’d be happy’ #SchoolsStrike4Climate #FridaysForFurture

Scottish Youth Parliament member Kit McCarthy, who has autism, said for him the effect of the noise emitted is “horrific”. trib.al/dJry8J9

The Scottish Youth Parliament wants the devices, that are used to deter anti-social behaviour among young people, banned. stv.tv/news/scotland/1433968…

Successes in @ScotParl today: They will assist SYP by referencing Ireland's Ministry of Justice position that mosquito devices constitute "assault", and the views of @coe and @UNHumanRights, when they write to @scotgov about our campaign! Well done @KitMSYP 👏

🗣️"We want the issue to be reframed from a trade issue to a health, justice and an equalities issue and therefore believe that @scotgov does have competence to legislate" @KitMSYP on the ban of mosquito devices in @ScotParl

🗣️ "Anti-social behaviour is not a justification for the use of the mosquito device which breaches 4 separate rights under the European Convention. SYP favours a mature response to anti-social behaviour including improved youth work and improved community policing" 👏 @KitMSYP

Anti-loitering devices called mosquitoes should be banned according to @OfficialSYP Members taking a petition to Holyrood. The devices emit high pitched sound only heard by under 25s. It's claimed they discriminate against teenagers and young adults. @KitMSYP #bbcgms 0740

This morning I’ve seen quotes from Tories to the effect that PM is ‘entering the killing zone’, faces ‘assassination’ and should take ‘her own noose’ to a meeting. Few disagree with her more than I do, but language like this debases politics. Get a grip, Tories.
