I have written to the Scottish FA following the recent confirmation of Saudi Arabia as hosts of the 2034 World Cup.
As a FIFA affiliated association I am asking if they gave their backing to this controversial bid, and if so, could they explain to football fans why.

The decision by Labour & SNP councillors to demolish Motherwell Concert Hall is cultural vandalism.
Not only is this a Category B listed building but a much-loved community asset that provides a starting ground for artists to turn their dreams into reality. Shocking.

🎯 ANOTHER CAMPAIGN WIN
I'm delighted that North Lanarkshire Council have u-turned on their decision to cut buses for primary school kids.
This would not have been possible without the relentless campaigning from parents and pupils across Lanarkshire.

The result of irresponsible broadcasters like ITV normalising literal fascists to boost I’m a Celebrity viewing figures and once left-wing political parties like Labour pandering to dangerous rhetoric that scapegoats minorities for a short-lived taste of power.
Nigel Farage has the highest favourability rating of any politician in the UK.
Donald Trump has a higher favourability rating than Keir Starmer at 25%, but 58% of Brits have an unfavourable view of the President-elect 🧵
