And the British media thinks the genocide has stopped.
A fourth child has frozen to death in Gaza in just 10 days—two of them babies—as Israel continues blocking tents and winter shelter aid, despite UN supplies pre-positioned at the border that could immediately shelter more than 1.3 million displaced Palestinians.

Scotland is first UK nation to make residential outdoor education a legal requirement for all pupils, after MSPs backed landmark legislation guaranteeing every child access to a week-long outdoor learning experience. Well done Liz Smith MSP plus all campaigners. www.thenational.scot/politics/254...
Lesley Riddoch: Access to outdoor education is a dream that can’t be allowed to die
AN important thing happens on September 26. A wee dream could die for the want of roughly £40 million, which would buy 1.3 miles of new motorway.

Bryant says the govt doesn't support seizing the assets of Russian individuals. Indeed. Once you start seizing the assets of billionaires, where might it end?
But he then admits that's exactly what they're doing with Abramovich. So we can seize the assets of billionares afterall!

Let's just recap what the Scottish government has delivered in the last 18 years.
Now tell me is it not worth keeping a government with a track record that actually improves lives & has the interests of Scotland at it's heart?
Or would you vote for one who will put England first?

Just five months ago, Reform UK ran for election, pledging to 'lower council tax' and 'say no' to increases. In power, Reform UK has implemented a 4.99% council tax increase for the 2025-2026 financial year, the maximum allowed.
