Scottish Government commits to anti-corruption strategy with improved transparency of trust structures (as proposed by Rhoda Grant in parliament).

Retrospectively removing indefinite leave to remain would be immoral and economically damaging. It would tear families apart.
Attacking it as ‘potentially illegal’ is completely beside the point.
Argue with the (awful) idea. Don’t try ’well, actually you can’t do that’.

Wealthy donors are increasingly fudning political campaigns, eroding the public’s trust in the political process. The Government has the opportunity to reverse that trend, argues Rose Whiffen of @anticorruption.bsky.social.
