The problem isn't that there's not enough to go around, it's that what we've got isn't shared fairly.

It's a tale as old as time. Until we sort that out, energy bills will stay extortionate.

Can Cupar flood project help shield town from rising storm risk and drain chaos?

A pilot project to slow down flood waters and hold back silt to the south of Cupar could be rolled out to the wider River Eden catchment. But will it work?

Take a walk through your city or town centre and ask yourself the question:

How many businesses are open because of migrants?

How many are closed because of billionaires?

The world's leading association of genocide experts says it's genocide.

The world's leading human rights organisations say it's genocide.

Israel's leading human rights organisation says it's genocide.

It would be pretty inconvenient for the UK government if they were right, wouldn't it?

Scottish Greens @scottishgreens.org · 29d

This UK government policy amounts to genocide denial.

Entire communities have been destroyed, families are being starved, and people are being murdered as they queue for aid.

What will it take for Keir Starmer to finally say 'enough is enough' and that Israel has gone too far?

UK Government rules Israel is not committing genocide in Palestine

THE UK Government has ruled that Israel is not committing genocide in Gaza – contradicting a mounting body of international experts who say…

Years from now, people will try to claim that university cuts were inevitable, that workers refused to see the writing on the wall and reform. We've all heard that story before. It's nonsense. Leadership is failing, not staff. It's time it started to listen.
