Everything you need to know about Nigel Farage.
Esther de Lange, "He has made sure that two of his children have German passports"

When Nigel Farage objects to a UK-EU Youth Mobility Scheme, he wants his children to travel freely around the UK and EU, but he doesn't want your children to enjoy the same right

It was lovely to accompany the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Fiona Hyslop, on her visit to the active travel project on the A807 between Torrance and Milngavie. Highlight of the visit was speaking to the very bright, articulate and friendly pupils from Milngavie Primary School!

Real pleasure attending East Dunbartonshire heat of Euroquiz 25. Questions were pretty difficult so well done to all P6 teams who represented their schools. The knowledge on display was impressive. Special well done to winners Baljaffray Primary School. We'll be cheering you on at the final in June!

Looking forward to meeting with Cash Access UK to discuss their proposal for a banking hub in Bishopbriggs. In person banking facilities are sorely needed in the town.

“Just three companies, News Corp (Murdoch family), Daily Mail & General Trust (DMGT, Viscount Rothermere) and Reach plc, control over 80% of daily newspaper circulation…

The hyper-rich continue to invest huge sums in acquiring control of media”

We need a free press - ie free from the billionaires.

In July, I FOI'd the Home Office for the full breakdown of spending on the Rwanda scheme

I was refused because the government planned to publish the data in future, and today is the day. These numbers are in millions

Morgan McSweeney has been looking at the polling and has noticed Labour has lost support to the right not to the Greens or LibDems. A Find Out Now poll published today is the latest example:
CON: 27% (+3)
LAB: 25% (-10)
RFM: 22% (+7)
LDM: 12% (-1)
GRN: 9% (+2)
SNP: 3% (=)

Utterly appalled by the attack on LGBT Youth Scotland by the Tories. We cannot - we must not - go back to the dark days of Section 28.
I will always stand in solidarity with trans people, against those who wish they didn’t exist.

That we don't think 'it can happen here' is *exactly* why it could. There are many lessons the UK needs to learn from the chill crossing the Atlantic.
