Journalists are having to consider marching to Downing Street to demand an interview from the PM who is hiding from the press in the midst of a global pandemic.

In Scotland, the First Minister continues to host her daily briefings, taking questions from the press. https://t.co/XSP11QFxTk

Front page is deeply regrettable - and I say that as someone who respects the team at SM.

None of us in Govt make these decisions lightly. My colleague John (a parent himself) is one of the kindest most thoughtful ppl I know. Our primary motivation is always public health. https://t.co/QygLFeW8km

To those telling me hate speech is just ppl getting upset by offensive words - I suspect you've not been on receiving end of it.

I don't need or want sympathy. Unfortunately I am used to a flurry of abuse whenever the Hate Crime Bill gets media attention (as it should!) or there is a high profile terror attack. My point is, if you haven't experienced hate, don't diminish the experience of those who have. pic.twitter.com/wkUzvkKtx5

Let me reiterate, am in no way suggesting Hate Crime Bill shouldn't be under scrutiny, it absolutely should, I welcome it (hence why I'm making extra appearances at committee). Nor am I decrying media attention it gets, our press have a vital job in shining a light on legislation
