NEW: The Scottish community-owned island of Eigg has announced a boycott of Israel The island of 120 people has backed BDS and its sole shop will stop stocking goods from Israeli firms thenational.scot/news/25335097.…
It was fantastic to get back to Eigg to see progress made on two new local homes supported through the SNP's Rural & Islands Housing Fund. It's a joy to see things happen in the region, especially when they're community-driven and have massive impact, like new housing ❤️🏠
The Scottish Government has pursued a different social security agenda to the UK as a whole. Projections suggest that child poverty in Scotland fell between 2022-23 and 2024-25, while it rose in England. Under current policy assumptions, rates are projected to diverge further.
📢 SCAF Webinar! Join us next month to hear from Ed Pybus on what crofting is, how it combines with community ownership to provide access to land, and opportunities for small scale food productions. 💡 📅 Tuesday 10 June, 7pm (online via Zoom) ➡️ bit.ly/3Sl0di5

I found this in the random old books section.....#victorian #welfarerights #history and yes I bought it..
I am new to this role. I intend to hold regular public meetings so that I can share our thinking as we go forward and listen to the views of others. Not just for crofters - everyone has an interest in the success of rural Scotland. Please join me if you can.

🧵I'm part of a brand new study looking at the differences in social security across the four nations. We are inviting people to take part. ⭐Living in Scot, Wales, Eng or N Ireland? ⭐A parent/carer with a child under 18 ⭐In receipt of a main benefit like UC / Asylum Support
Are you are up to date with how recent benefit changes & current issues impact on kinship carers? Our 'Kinship carers and benefits - an update' course on 20 May provides an opportunity to think about some of the more tricky issues and will update advisers on new developments.

🚨 New analysis out today 🚨 Our latest research, with support from @finan_fairness, looks at the long-neglected capital rules within the welfare system. Read the report by @mollybroome_ @Alex__Clegg @EdPybus ➡️ buff.ly/f8Bs1lD
Crofting is the answer
Great new report out today on a much neglected aspect of the benefits system- rules on how much capital someone can hold. Reform is definitely needed here, but will need to be weighed against other priorities. Link to the report below (h/t @mollybroome_ @Alex__Clegg & @EdPybus)

Eigg's crofters & Isle of Eigg Heritage Trust have been exploring how #communityownership can strengthen & grow #crofting. Read @EdPybus report on how collaboration & support can secure Eigg's crofting future @ScotCroftingFed @CroftingScot @ScottishLandCom bit.ly/FutureCroft
New report highlights how crofting helps keep Eigg’s cultural traditions alive heraldscotland.com/news/25108003.…
Useful meeting with @S_L_M_Service yesterday. 365 people looking for crofts through the service just now. Very few crofts coming through on the supply side. Huge need to get more land into crofting tenure to help satisfy demand.
📢 WELFARE RIGHTS WORKERS 📢 Anyone interested in talking about capital limits for means tested benefits? How are tariff income, notional capital, upper limits impacting claimants? But interested in any issues related to capital in MTB. DM me or comment
#SocialMurder by @gerrymccartney1 & David Walsh is a gruelling & gritty reality check abt lives of people in poverty. GDA notes each case study was about a disabled person or someone who became disabled and was thrust into horrific circumstances. Policies & actions needed 🧵
