My @TEDxGlasgow talk on #basicincome is now up on YouTube for anyone interested, delighted I had the chance to talk youtu.be/TPA0qoem-hQ
The only people who need to leave Scotland are the disgraceful cowards who brought shame to our streets last night. They do not represent Scotland in any shape or form, I hope they are found and locked up.
Landed at Newark, heading into Manhatten, looking forward to a busy week ahead at the Congress of State Parties #COSP at the UN in New York
Great to be joining Congress of Business 26 today in Glasgow, fantastic gathering of businesses, organisations and policy makers from across Scotland - looking forward to discussing inclusion within sustainability and climate response #COB26
Obviously I'm not Welsh and the fascinating results down there are nothing to do with me. But I am sorry if it is true that @PrifWeinidog has lost her seat. Only observed from afar in basic income discussions but always struck me as a committed and principled public servant
Going to be some fascinating results in Scotland today, looks turnout will be key in quite a few races - here's hoping that whatever the outcome it pushes all parties to be bolder and more imaginative about creating a better future for the country

How do we fix the exclusion of children with disabilities in emergencies? By treating OPDs as equal partners. 🤝
With @EduCannotWait & @IDA_CRPD_Forum, we hosted workshops in 🇨🇴 & 🇳🇪 to build local action plans.
See how OPDs are taking the lead: buff.ly/nJJ4Snz
Boston has been fantastic this week for #ANCORConnect2026 with @TheRealANCOR, incredible gathering of leaders committed to inclusion from across the US
In Boston waiting to head to the airport to head home to Scotland and watching the draft - love the @WetjenKaden pick for the @steelers, he is going to be incredible on returns - can't wait to see him in our Black and Gold, I think we'll see big things from him #NFLDraft2026
And really want to see @AllarDrew flourish with McCarthy and the Steelers. He has huge potential and I think with the space to develop in our system he could end up being a fantastic draft for us. Really excited by the @steelers draft class this year!

Important statement from Inclusion International as we stand in solidarity with people with intellectual disabilities and their families in the midst of the humanitarian crisis in the Middle East
People with intellectual disabilities and our families are among the most overlooked in the crisis in the Middle East.
We have the right to be safe. We are calling on governments and aid organisations to include us in their response.

On International Day of Persons with Disabilities it is vital that we celebrate the incredible progress that our movement, driven by self-advocates and families, has made; and also how much further we have to go in creating a truly inclusive world. #WeAreInclusion
I love working for a global organisation like @InclusionIntl, with incredible members and partners across the planet - not even 7am here in Scotland and collaborations are being created and opportunities delivered in other parts of the world #WatchThisSpace #WeAreInclusion
What a time to be a Coventry fan #PUSB 🩵
