OPINION: Raise in personal tax allowance is a clear win (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This weekâs column is brought to you from sunny Brighton where the great and the good (and the rest) of the Liberal Democrats have gathered for our federal conference. Barring some of the more dramatic events in political history â Tony Blairâs rewriting of the Labour constitution, the IRA bombs of the 1980s or Neil Kinnockâs showdown with the left all spring to mind â party conferences tend to be pretty collegiate and fairly mundane parts of the political calendar. These conferences a
OPINION: âThe skyâs the limitâ - From up-and-coming space sector to long-established rural industries, Shetlandâs economy can thrive with the right government support (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Confirmation has just arrived, as I sit down to write this column, of a fresh £30m in funding from the UK government for the SaxaVord Spaceport â part of a wider £60 million public-private scheme to back Shetlandâs space ambitions. The development of the SaxaVord project (and indeed the wider space industry in the UK) has not been without its occasional stumbling blocks, but it is fair to say that we are closer now than ever before to a first launch â and indeed many others to follow.

COMMENT: âFrustration in the room was almost palpable - it stemmed from a sense that the views of the community had not been heardâ (opens the original)

Turning up to the convention organised by the Association of Shetland Community Councils on Saturday morning to find, I would estimate, more than a hundred people gathered in the room was really no surprise. The frustration of the people in the room was almost palpable. It stemmed from a sense that the views of the community had not been heard or else heard and dismissed. Time and again the same message came through. It was not just about any particular development but rather about the fact that
OPINION: New prime minister has âhit the ground runningâ - but will it be enough to shift the dial for the Labour Party? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It was ironic that as the House of Commons rose for the summer recess, the serious politics of the nation began. The day after MPs started leaving the capital, the Labour Party declared Andy Burnham to be elected unopposed as their new leader, and three days later he took over as prime minister. The new prime minister, it is fair to say, hit the ground running with a much-changed cabinet and a stream of policy announcements, all designed to mark a decisive changing of the guard. Will it be enoug
OPINION: âIt feels as though we have the wind at our backsâ in campaign to defend coastguard volunteers from remuneration cuts (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are times in politics where you take up a campaign knowing that it will take months or even years before you see the outcome, and where change comes slowly â if it comes at all. There are other times in politics where the work is measured in weeks, days, or even hours. Our short, sharp and successful campaign to block Russian vessels from Northern Isles ports in March 2022 was one such case. The campaign to defend coastguard volunteers from Maritime and Coastguard Agency cuts to their re
