It’s like watching an avoidable car crash….
Brexit costing UK £90bn a year in lost tax revenues as Reeves prepares to hike levies in Budget.
Individuals £1000s worse off too
Why continue this self harm?

London School of Economics found that veterinary visits rose on days with poor air quality.
Just like we did for adults & children’s hospital admissions on days of high #AirPollution.

PFAS not being phased out because they’re harmful
But companies being sued & EU legislation.
Who says taking #polluters to court doesn’t work! & well done EU!
Leading chemicals companies quietly phasing out production of “forever chemicals” as risk of litigation grows & EU imposes restrictions.

I’ve spoken up for Scotland’s nature!
The Natural Environment Bill's next debate on 26 November must make sure its strong enough to restore wildlife, protect our future, and unite us in recovery. action.rspb.org.uk/page/181323/...

Ask your MSP to act for Scotland's wildlife.
MSPs will debate one of the most important nature bills in a generation on the 19th of November.
Take action and make sure they back a strong Bill that protects wildlife, not weakens it.

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

Are you fed up seeing @UKLabour trying to criticise our NHS?

"With waiting lists falling in Scotland but rising in England, this shows the benefit of taking crucial decisions here in Scotland – rather than leaving them to an out of touch Westminster government."

Overseas Doctors looking for specialist jobs ⬆️40%, UK applicants ⬆️16%. Tory govt pledged to x2 medical school places by 2031, but didn’t expand specialty training places. Tory short-sightedness or maybe wanted cheap resident docs without more expensive (but trained) speciality docs? #WastedDoctors

Calves are separated from mothers within 24h of birth.
It allows farmers to collect milk the calves would drink & sell it.
But one farmer in Scotland is pioneering an unconventional method of commercial dairy farming - keeping cow & calf together for about 6m.
