1627683044021633024 | @GillianMSP Can I ask a genuine question as an SNP member with a vote, who isn't that impressed by the 3 running. Whats her views on Gay Marriage and abortion? I need to know she values my daughters right to marriage the same she would her own. | 15 |

1627757125328949271 | @GillianMSP That’s a shocker of a statement in her Ciaran Jenkins interview today. Her stance on same sex marriage is not acceptable, ever! I cant see how her becoming FM would do anything but divide the party and the yes movement. I can’t agree she’s got what it takes. What a let down. | 11 |
