The saltire represents welcome and community. Anger at cuts in communities is understandable; but they are the fault of ministers, not migrants.

End of an era for the Scottish Greens, with Patrick Harvie standing down as co-leader. Under party rules he will now need to hand back the party's collection of waistcoats & will need to sleep on a lower branch in the Scottish Green party's tree, potentially leaving him at greater risk of predation

Zelensky is being forced to plead with Trump that his own country, which has spent so much blood and endured so much horror, is allowed to be at the negotiating table about its own future. That's where we're at- a return of great power politics.
