Responding to the PM's announcement that UK aid will be cut to fund defence, @romilly_bond has said "This is a short-sighted and appalling move by both the PM and Treasury. Slashing the already diminished UK aid budget to fund an uplift in defence is a reckless decision...

🔴 #Ceasefire in Gaza: “The agreement represents a major step forward but will only bring desperately needed relief to people in Gaza if there is a sustained ceasefire coupled with a dramatic increase in aid and commercial goods entering the Strip.”

Scotland's International Development Alliance retweeted
🔴 #GAZA
The news of an agreement between Hamas and Israel is a rare moment of hope, after more than 15 months of relentless atrocities – but the big test will be what happens next, whether it's adhered to, and whether a temporary pause becomes permanent. islamic-relief.org.uk/islami…

“We welcome the announcement about the ceasefire in #Gaza. Many have been hoping for this moment for the past 15 months.
This agreement will finally bring much needed respite for the people of Gaza and the release of hostages.
What’s needed now is rapid, unhindered and uninterrupted humanitarian access and supplies to respond to the tremendous suffering caused by this war."
– UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini

Ministers' delivery on climate action flopped last year.
With people globally facing fires, floods and famine we can't afford any more rewrites or delays.

NEW: climate campaigners urge politicians to direct a climate action box-office hit for Scotland this year 🎬
