Jim Ratcliffe abandoned workers in Grangemouth and fled to Monaco to avoid paying taxes in the UK.

Anti-trans campaigners will try to spin the High Court’s decision into an absolute victory.
But that’s far from the truth – the findings in this case will require the EHRC’s code of practice to be rewritten.

The Scottish Government has published updated statutory RSHP guidance for all schools in Scotland.
It strengthens learning around consent, online harms, safeguarding, and LGBT inclusion.
We’ve produced a clear and factual explainer outlining what it means in practice for schools.

The publication of this data shatters Scottish Government claims that RO in non-denominational schools is ‘objective, critical and pluralistic.’ They've never bothered to test this claim. Now we have, and we've proved them totally wrong.

Like most of us the rich tend to build their worldview around their own interests. (Welfare = taxes on me so bad).
But their interests diverge more from the majority than the norm. And they have fewer people around them willing to point out when they're wrong.
