🚨 68% of adults in Scotland think politicians should do more to tackle the issue of housing.

Our delivery plan sets out a path for the next Scottish Gov't: build at least 15,693 new social homes a year, uphold rights, end housing inequality, +more. #HousingEmergency.

Needless to say I’ve never given @telegraph a penny of my money. Not sure I’d even use it if we even had another toilet roll shortage of Covid 2020. But look at the sheer poison from them.

Thanks so much to @martharich63 for posting this wee beauty.
When we feel so powerless, let us remind those unelected billionaires that we have power in where we choose to spend our money & we can disrupt the system.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence.

He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.

It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

Director of @shelterscotland.bsky.social Alison Watson told me this morning that the council is seeking to "reduce standards".

Shelter claims the Housing, homelessness and fair work committee voted last week to reduce standards of temporary accommodation available to those experiencing homelessness.

But the Council are denying this, and yesterday wrote to the charity asking they withdraw the claims.

🧵Today Shelter Scotland has written to Scottish Ministers and the Scottish Housing Regulator, asking for them to intervene - as the charity claims The City of Edinburgh Council voted in favour of "stripping homeless households of their basic rights."

Talked to 200 primary school children this week on homelessness. Loved it! They’re so engaged. They talked about their rights, donating to charity, giving food to people they see on the streets. Incredulous to how we can let people become homeless. Gives me hope & shows how we can learn from them.
