Dana Petroleum has been contracted by the Israeli govt. to explore gas off the coast of Gaza, in waters internationally recognised as Palestinian.
Israel is making huge profits - whilst Palestinians continue to suffer from occupation and violence.

I was lost for words yesterday during Trans Day of Remembrance. The EHRC guidance, transphobic but also deeply misogynistic, and the Herald political awards… the timing was something.
Warm words won’t cut it. People in positions of power need to take action.

Three-quarters of all suicides in the UK are by men. This issue needs to be taken more seriously.

There is a frightening increase in deaths by suicide, especially among men. They are 3.7 times more likely than women to end their lives.

Grabbing the wedding ring off a man’s finger or stealing a woman’s jewellery will not pay for immigration accommodation.
Are we really going to let the UK government, the Labour Party, enshrine theft into law? Is that who we are?
If you want refugees to pay for things, give them the right to work.

This is an important overview of the Scottish renewables jobs situation from @scottishtuc.bsky.social in a concise report.🔽

Renewables employment is dominated by small firms, often sole traders.
Fewer Scots work in wind than energy efficient products.

These pay rises are a slap in the face at a time when local services are being cut and many staff are struggling on low pay.
The pay disparities between council CEOs and frontline workers are huge. We should be narrowing the gap, not expanding it.

The lack of a coherent transition plan is creating unnecessary job losses and low public confidence, and our communities are losing out.
Four years ago the Scottish government committed to co-design just transition plans, but since then, nothing. We need action.

The Scottish Government's new climate plan is dreadful.
Ministers have decided not to help people who are struggling to pay their energy bills, communities cut off by unreliable buses, or oil workers worried about their future.

I’ve never been a fan of Bonfire Night (try growing up with a name like mine!).
For our firefighters things are a lot worse. This time of year highlights the impact of cuts our politicians voted through.
Instead, we should appreciate our firefighters by investing in them.

Bonfire night is one of the busiest shifts of the year for firefighters.
But the fire service is facing it without adequate resources. Despite a rising number of fires, year-on-year cuts have left us with one in five fewer firefighters.
We need to see serious investment and an end to cuts.

As things stand, child poverty is on track to reach record highs by 2029-30.
By then, we predict that more than one-in-three British children (34 per cent) would be growing up in poverty.
