Let me get this straight: the Cass review wasn’t peer-reviewed yet was relied on by the government for major policy decisions - but now a critique of that review has been peer-reviewed and published, giving it more authority. Will government now be relying on this for policy? We all know the answer.

Absolutely correct to save British Steel. But fuck you bigly Scottish Grangemouth. Oil producing Jockland can just lose our only refinery. Truth is. London doesn't give a shit about helping Scotland.

All entry points into Gaza are closed. At the border, food is rotting. Medicine is expiring. Vital medical equipment is stuck. If the basic principles of humanitarian law still count, the international community must act to uphold them.

Why is the Labour government considering nationalising British Steel's Scunthorpe plant owned by Chinese owner Jingye. When that option wasn't open to either Grangemouth or Port Talbot, both equally important to the Scottish and Welsh economies.

Le Pen's ban from running for office is neither an attack on democracy nor a boon for the far-right. It is a move by an independent judiciary to uphold the rule of law, protect the public from political corruption, and shore up French liberal democracy. My latest for @heraldscotland.bsky.social:

The government has published no evidence to suggest that cutting disability benefits will get people back to work. The evidence it has published found that these cuts would plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty. I’m joining @trusselluk.bsky.social in calling on the gov’t to rethink

MPs to vote on disability benefit cuts without knowing ‘full impact’. The same thing happened with the winter fuel payment cut. Will the alleged savings materialise? The impact on the NHS, GPs, families, people? Lack of impact assessment is a good reason to vote against the cuts.

The scale of this horror must serve as a wake-up call. Continuing to arm and support Israel only leads to further destruction and lost lives. It makes the UK complicit in war crimes and genocide. It's a moral obligation for governments to hold Israel accountable for their actions.

I note with interest right-wing media's total absence of any concerns about prominent BBC presenter Armstrong expressing his highly political opinions. As was always perfectly clear to many of us, the problem was not that Lineker had views, but the fact they didn't approve of his views.
