glad to be elected as the convenor of the social security committee at our meeting tonight, excited to get to work with @HamishFraserSYP as depute and the rest of our members!
In my opinion Gavin's priorities are exactly what SYP needs going into the 2nd half of our term - will be voting Gavin #1 for board at the upcoming AGM and urge other msyps to consider doing the same!

Thank you to everyone who voted in favour! ✊
Following on is @StewartMSYP and @MSYPJaxTennyson and an Opinion Motion for the implementation of a four-day working week #SYP78
ALT Background is of a blue to green gradient. In the centre on the right is an icon with a laptop, clock, checked box and thumbs up. Text reads: “#SYP78 Members' Motion Implementation of a four-day working week Results - 52% agree, 25% disagree, 23% abstain”.
Glasgow University should have notified people requesting accommodation far sooner than this. as someone who is personally effected by this and now has to stay home & commute everyday I cant imagine now let down international and further away students are feeling.
Glasgow Uni students told there's no guarantee of accommodation - despite previous promise. news.stv.tv/west-central/gla…

Since it's also her birthday if you haven't already there is no excuse not to head over to bufferzones.scot and share your thoughts on the matter!!
was great to finally sit down with Renfrewshire North's MSP @NatalieDon_. Glad to be able to raise issues effecting young people in and about the constituency!
Me and @JudeTennysonSYP are considering submitting a joint motion on supporting a transition towards a Four-day Workweek at SYP78. Please be sure to fill out our consultation to give your views on the matter!

Had a fantastic time at #SYP77 at Cumbernauld over the weekend. Was great to finally meet all the MSYPs in person and vote on brand new policy, as well as really get stuck in to committee work, big thank you to all the staff & board members who made it possible!!
was happy to provide some opposition to this motion for the sake of encouraging debate, however I will be happily voting in favour of @GavinMSYP's fantastic motion!
Our final Motion this weekend at #SYP77 is from @GavinMSYP who proposes @OfficialSYP calls on the @ScotGov to reform the private rented sector ASAP and introduce rent controls based on property quality as well as improving the rights of tenants
ALT Gavin Stewart MSYP proposes: ‘The Scottish Youth Parliament calls on the Scottish Government to act on their commitment to reform the private rented sector and introduce a system of rent controls as soon as possible; believes that the system of rent controls should be point-based and dependent on a properties quality rather than market-value; and that improved access to justice should also be included in reforms to better protect and improve the rights of tenants in Scotland.’

had a slight issue with the first survey, if anyone who filled it out before could fill it out again it would be greatly appreciated 😄
Please fill out this survey if you feel actions must be taken to better connect the rest of Renfrewshire to Bishopton Train Station.

For people in the North of Renfrewshire without access to a car, buses are the main form of public transport, but for those in places like Erskine, that means needing to reply on a bus that takes an hour to go to Glasgow, or wait an hour for a bus to the nearest train station.
was a pleasure to attend the #LocalElections2022 count in Renfrewshire, congratulations to all those elected. It was great to finally meet Renfrewshire's elected representatives from all levels
(also feel the need to share that I met @MhairiBlack)
