It’s so important to get Gloria’s Law in place and provide reassurance for vulnerable people both in care homes and in hospital. We are 💯behind you. The isolation of our loved ones during Covid from those who cared most for them was inhumane.

Excellent summary of the present state of relations between Russian and American oligarchical clans. Please read and share.

A social care cap hits those of modest means hardest. If set at £100,000 the average Scot or person from the north east of E would lose more than half the value of their home. If your home is in the South East - £100000 would be a small percentage.@andyburnham

Thanks very much to everyone who has donated and helped my Crowdfunder reach its initial target. We now have a new stretch target.
If you can, please donate so we can do even more to ensure an SNP majority that can deliver independence.

There is no greater example of what a disaster this is than the private care home market which is being bought up wholesale by private investment firms who don’t really give a toss about old people or care or the people who work for them.

Re Jordanhill Park, I would welcome any advice on what I can do to get @CALAHOMES to respond to my letters and emails. On 22 December last year they thanked me for my patience and said they’d get back to me with a start date for remedial works. I’m still waiting.

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV on Trump’s warning to Iran of “civilization” destruction —
“This is truly not acceptable. Here there are certainly questions of international law, but even more than this a question of morality for the good of people.”
He adds the war is “continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything… is only provoking more hatred throughout the world.”
“attacks on civilian infrastructure are against international law, but it is also against sign of the hatred and division that we are capable of.”

Hundreds of creatives gathered in Glasgow’s city centre to protest the 'forced' closure of one of the city’s most cherished cultural hubs after its rent was increased to 'ludicrous' amounts thenational.scot/news/259755…
Brilliant letter in @heraldscotland today raises a debate about NHS doctors in private practice I feel is long overdue. Here’s a wee snippet.
This makes sense to me. It’s time for @Keir_Starmer and @RachelReevesMP to act.
📽️ From Donald Trump to Britain's wind power trade body, there's a growing coalition calling for more drilling in the North Sea.
Raising the question: if we DID encourage more exploration, how much oil & gas could we actually get?

Ps it's longer than usual, but it turns out this topic has SO MANY misconceptions. Time to put some of them right.
Let me know what you think
👇I couldn’t agree more.
A huge thank to everyone who helped us ensure people’s closest relatives are not simply visitors to care homes but an essential part of their care. #notjustavisitor
New regulations have been passed giving those in care homes improved rights over visits from loved ones.

This sounds good but I’m concerned that the company that runs the aluminium smelter (Alvance) who are part of this group (same trading address) haven’t filed accounts since 2021? And the March 21 accounts were unaudited. But they have stewardship of so much land. @parkswatchscot
