I am part of that new generation of Scots, not able to vote in 2014.
Young people, just like every Scot deserve a say over their own future.
They must have the chance to choose a future away from Westminster.
A future where decisions about Scotland are made in Scotland.
A new generation of Scots 'must have their say' on Scotland's future, the SNP have said ahead of next year's Holyrood election thenational.scot/news/253540ā¦
With the rest of team @MairiMcAllan Iām taking part in āStride for Palestiniansā to fundraise for @MedicalAidPal

Palestinian lives in Gaza continue to be at critical risk from illness, starvation, and a lack of access to healthcare due to the Israeli military's systematic dismantling of Gazaās health system.
Please donate and help @MedicalAidPal to provide vital supplies, medicines and humanitarian aid to those in need.
