From memory, you can just go down and they add it to your bill at the end ... but, even then, they still want to charge you about £20 a day for it.

Join the over 200 women MSPs, cultural figures, campaigners and organisations, including the STUC Women's Committee and NASUWT Scotland activists, in signing the open letter below to show that we will not let the far right speak in our name:

Women against the Far Right Scotland
We reject the far right’s racist lies about “protecting” women and girls. They are not defenders of women—they exploit violence against women to fuel hate and division. Standing up for women’s rights ...

We’ve got less than a month to hit our goal - and we’re just under half way there.

Six quid gets you the digital edition. Twelve of your Earth pounds will get you the beautiful shiny print version. Fifteen and you can have both.

Brilliant writing on the past, present and future of popular culture.

🗣️ "A verdict that was impossible to define, confused jurors and the wider public, prevented closure for victims, and was ultimately no different than a verdict of not guilty."

“Scotland has made major changes to the way rape cases are judged: this is why it's a victory for survivors”
After years of campaigning, the controversial ‘not proven’ verdict is finally being scrapped amid a legal system overhaul for women in Scotland

MSPs are now shouting at each other about parliamentary procedure ... seagulls? MSPs and public gallery have similarly lost will to live.

An animated Douglas Ross, at pains to point out that he has 'up to five minutes' to talk, wants to speak about seagulls. I think the families gathered in the chamber would thank him to get a move on so they can hear the outcome of the vote.

Chamber filling up now as Justice Minister Angela Constance wraps up debate. Says she doesn't want to 'pollute' today with partisan rhetoric. "We've all won and lost amendments," she says. "Today is not about us, it's about the survivors."

Tory's Sharon Dowey speaks now. For anyone who sat through six hours of amendments now, this patter will be feeling quite familiar.
