It's time to evict Trump's troops from Scotland.
The US under Trump is increasingly becoming a rogue state, from invading Venezuela to threatening Greenland. Scotland must not be complicit in his crimes.

Peter Mandelson's official role in Gordon Brown's government was actually not that far away from his unauthorised dealings with Jeffrey Epstein. This week's column digs up some inconvenient truths and suggests the problem is much deeper than we're told.

8. Perhaps above all, it’s the way policy is decided. There seem to be two main determinants.
A. Will this stick it to the Labour left? The whole country must suffer for Starmer’s factional war. Good, progressive policies are blocked or delayed because they would look like a concession.
