"If you look at the figures, what you see is that there's no direct correlation between certain crimes and police numbers."

That was Theresa May's response when she was asked if the fall in police numbers had contributed to the rise in knife crime. pic.twitter.com/pSylB7BtP5

Pure and utter ostrich-ism from the PM. Imagine believing that cutting over 20,000 Police Officers has nothing to do with certain crimes rising - head completely in the sand, or the PM is lying. Either one is not a good look. https://t.co/MkkLPojBX3

Justice Secretary @HumzaYousaf has accused @scottishlabour of 'giving a free pass to Islamophobia'. A year has now passed since Labour suspended Cllr Jim Dempster, who admitted making a racist comment about him: https://t.co/0J30aUUtnq pic.twitter.com/4AfPjjOQ4W

Year since a ScotLab Cllr *admitted* making Islamaphobic remarks about me & @LabourRichard has taken no action, Dempster still a Cllr. The msg that sends to minority communities is that Labour has given a free pass to hate.

21 days to go before Scotland is about to get ripped out of the EU against her will & plunged into No Deal catastrophe...and both opposition leaders asking about the currency in an independent Scotland. That's the state of your opposition for you.#FMQs

Pleasure to meet Palestinian Head of Mission during his first visit to Scotland. Our longstanding position has been that Palestine should be recognised as a State & Mission upgraded to an Embassy.

Devastating news to wake up to. Terror attack in New Zealand which has left 40 Muslims dead. Theywere simply going about their business praying in their local Mosque. Tell me again that Islamaphobia is just in my head?!

My thoughts & prayers with those effected by this tragedy. https://t.co/NIsUBWMPoO

Today's attack in NZ shows that terrorism has no faith & no skin colour. The only commonality is hatred.
— Humza Yousaf (@HumzaYousaf) March 15, 2019
Millions of Muslims worldwide will be attending Friday Prayers today. If you are non-Muslim show solidarity with your local Mosque, for only love can conquer hate.

As the British State is on the verge of complete collapse, worth reminding ourselves of this from David Cameron.

Time to do the right thing - revoke Article 50 and/or put it back to the people. pic.twitter.com/eKW4O54JmZ
