Just the bare minimum is not enough for suffering Palestinians (opens the original)
Read excerpt
LAST week, MSPs backed a Scottish Greens motion declaring that a company’s involvement in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories constitutes grave professional misconduct. The consequence of this misconduct being automatic disqualification from public contracts or Scottish Government support for that company, and any parent or subsidiaries.

Just over two months ago, Scottish Labour went backwards for the sixth Holyrood election in a row, finishing neck-and-neck with Reform UK. Throughout that campaign, Anas Sarwar insisted that Scotland was his home, that his first loyalty was to the people of Scotland and that he should be trusted wi

The Public Notice Portal carries statutory public notices published in local newspapers and is the fastest and most effective way of finding out what is happening in YOUR neighbourhood. IT’S not often that Green MSPs punch the air and celebrate decisions made by the SNP’s national council, but that’s what we did last week when word got out that they had voted to support a halt on hyperscale data centres. Following months of pressure from Scott
