This is the only thing you need to understand about inheritance tax on farmland ft.com/content/ab3585…
The Highlands and Islands will be at the heart of Scottish Labour's plan for growth.
Shocking new directive: Today, the Taliban's Minister of Vice and Virtue announced a ban on adult women's voices in each other's presence. In August, the Taliban banned women's voices in public, deeming it provocative. Women protested to this ban by singing and poetry.
Enjoyed joining @AnasSarwar in Germany to visit EnBW, a state-owned energy company investing in the North Sea. Great to discuss how to make Scotland a world-leader in clean energy & learn lessons from their work to ensure GB Energy delivers for people across Scotland and the UK
A wise and experienced old hand, Peter Peacock (formerly convener of Highlands Council and deputy Scottish finance minister) on the rise and now the faltering of “green lairds”: “We need to factor in the insights and permanence of local communities….” pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/business/fa…
Woman of the Day Barbara Betts born OTD 1910 in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, one of the longest serving Members of Parliament and the first woman in the UK to be appointed First Secretary of State. Barbara was the Labour MP for Blackburn from 1945 to 1979. From 1965 until 1968, she…

“In Na h-Eileanan an Iar, we are in the middle of a depopulation crisis, and I am here to sound that alarm… we see the rapid out-migration of younger, economically active families” - read my Westminster Hall debate on depopulation: hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2024-0…
When Labour introduced Winter Fuel Payment in 1997, pensioners were more likely to be in poverty than working age people. Since then pensioner incomes have risen faster than those in work & the situation has reversed. The gap is projected to widen further still.
To mark the UN’s Declaration on Future Generations, I called to ensure we consider the long-term impact of our legislation in the Scottish Parliament. Across the world, countries have taken steps to ensure greater thought is given to securing the outcomes of future generations.
Laughed out loud. Too clever. #DadsArmy
“We don’t just need change we need a wholesale transformation…it’s time we tackle #VAWG as the national emergency that it is’.’ A keynote speech to remember from minister @jessphillips this morning at #WAConf24
Labour’s new MP for the Western Isles has sworn his oath of allegiance in Gaelic on a Gaelic bible. i.stv.tv/3LmkFLG
When I set the first renewables target as a member of the first Scottish Government they were seen as radical – but we have travelled so far since then. It's disappointing that the SNP Govt hasn't delivered ambitious policies the climate crisis requires.
Someone nasty has taken a knife to a Labour banner near Arnol. We’ll repair and replace, we won’t be intimidated and like all the main participants in this election we’ll respect our differences democratically not with thuggish vandalism.
It's is a gift for Starmer, on the day of another big leaders' TV event too - he says, "This candidate should be suspended and it's very telling that Rishi Sunak has not already done that. If it was one of my candidates they'd be gone and their feet not have touched the floor."
This is a flat out lie. It’s a 10 year commitment and last year Shona Robison slashed it by 75% - providing a mere £12 million. #FibbingForScotland

The difference 20 years makes to Scottish NHS funding Nicola Sturgeon deliberately underfunded health spending in Scotland and used the money to give to groups/organisations to promote independence instead

Realise many of those spreading disinformation know full well it's disinformation but,for the benefit of anyone taken in by privatisation lies,the Labour manifesto is categorically clear("With Labour the NHS will always be publicly owned and publicly funded")
