Great to watch @SarahBoyack lead this debate today in @ScotParl on the work of the Scottish Youth Parliament’s Transport, Environment and Rural Affairs Committee!
Great opening debate on the Scottish Youth Parliament��s work on transport. In the words of one MSYP “the under 22s bus pass is great but it’s not much use if there’s not a bus to use it on”. all young people must have access to safe, affordable and sustainable public transport

Keir Mather becomes the youngest Government Minister in almost 200 years. Young people bring fresh ideas, new energy and different experiences to these roles. That’s vital for good governance. Hopefully we won’t have to wait as long for the next young Minister to be appointed.
Keir Mather MP (@Mather_Keir) has been appointed as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State in the Department for Transport.

Yesterday @iwill_ella, @LeiaMSYP and I attended the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service’s consultation event to discuss the future of Balmossie fire station. We raised the concerns of young people from Angus and Dundee about the impact on our communities if the station was closed.

Congratulations to Claire Coutinho for the worst argument for or against (against in this case) votes at 16
“Can you imagine saying…'I’ve got exam season coming up, but maybe I should stay up to watch this political debate'.” 16 and 17 year olds don't need the "added pressure of being dragged into politics" during exam season, says @ClaireCoutinho. @CalumAM | @RosieWright99
