Older private renters are living with damp, mould and cold in their homes – and it’s threatening their health and wellbeing.
That’s why our supporter @independentage.bsky.social, joined us at the Launch of Hazmat Loungewear.

Almost 160,000 pensioners live in poverty in Scotland - more than at any time in nearly 20 years.
It's time to change our systems to deliver security, not struggle, for older people in Scotland.
Ahead of 2026's Holyrood election, we're calling for action.

Good living standards aren’t a reward for growth. A thriving economy is built on government investment in strong public services, financial support for those who need it, and a swift journey towards a low-carbon economy.

I’ve reported on homelessness for years and met many, many people who have found themselves in awful situations
Every single one of them had more decency and integrity than this privileged plutocrat
