⚠️The CCC published expert advice on how the Scottish government can tackle the climate crisis.
📺 @davehawkey.bsky.social spoke to @laurapiper.bsky.social of STV to elucidate further: "What we need now is a policy package that can step up to deliver [the simple things recommended by the CCC]."

Pope Francis has gone home to the Father, but his light remains with us.
He taught us to lead with love, to show compassion without judgment, and to welcome all with open arms.
May his spirit live on in how we care for one another.

Social Media has been a cesspit in the last 24hrs
People reading headlines of a near 100 page judgement but failing (spectacularly) to heed Lord Hodge's clear warnings
Meanwhile, the mis-information is rife, a small and already under-siege minority will feel even more vulnerable

Today is #PalmSunday, the day of Christ's triumphant arrival in Jerusalem.
As Matthew tells us:
'The crowds...shouted,
“Hosanna to the Son of David!”
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
“Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
I wish you all a Joyous and Blessed Holy Week.

Utterly disgraceful that a Leader of the Opposition supported the decision to bar two MPs - in a parliamentary delegation - from entering Israel.
Why did they block them? Because the MPs dared speak out against the horrifying suffering of Palestinians.

Another catastrophic TV interview for failing UK Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch where she backed Israel’s Far Right for blocking two Labour MPs from entering the country.
Deeply unserious person.

The longest speech on the floor of the #USSenate was Strom Thrumond AGAINST Civil Rights in 1964.
Cory Booker is into hour 20 of #HoldingTheFloor to stand against the attacks on freedom, liberty and democracy by the #TrumpRegime
A remarkable show of stamina and faith!

Today, concerned parents & carers gathered outside Cunninghame House to protest the decision by the SNP Administration to cut School Crossing Patrollers.
I spent time listening to them, hearing their concerns and offering support.
This is a cut that didn't have to happen
