It’s a “genuine worry” that a third of Scotland’s national newspapers are owned in the US tax haven of Delaware, says TJN’s @alexcobham.bsky.social, as it obscures control and can allow anonymous owners to “subvert domestic politics” via their newspapers’ content. @jamiermann.bsky.social
A third of Scotland's newspapers owned in US tax haven

Scottish Labour MSPs had the chance to stand up for disabled people. They chose to stand with Westminster instead.

We’ve got what it takes to build a fairer Scotland, and we’ve already made some progress - but we need to think big and act bold.
I’m here at the Robertson Trust in Stirling, speaking to campaigners this morning.

MPs have launched a review into pensioner poverty after the government admitted the cut to winter fuel payments could force 100,000 people into poverty
