Scotland just made history by passing a world-first Community Wealth Building Bill.
It will ensure public money works harder to benefit local jobs, local businesses and local communities.
Here’s why it matters. 👇

Schrodinger's British Labour in Scotland:
The boldness of Anas Sarwar standing up for Scotland, the country he loves, & Jackie Baillie so proud of Anas for standing up for Scotland against UK Labour PM's treatment.
Simultaneously, all three refuse to allow Scotland to decide her own future.

After his failed putsch it’s striking that Anas Sarwar is ignored when he’s being obsequious and ignored when he’s trying to be brutal. No one in the Labour leadership cares much what he says or thinks.

Palantir is throwing the MoD a party to celebrate its untendered £240m contract.
It would already be inappropriate for any member of Govt to attend, given what we know about how Palantir has facilitated genocide in Gaza and been complicit in ICE deportations.
Now, it would be unacceptable.

The Green MPs have written to the Cabinet Secretary urging an investigation into "Palantir's vice-like grip on our Government" and the role played by disgraced Peter Mandelson in brokering it.
