    Data centres could transform Scotland, but only if we learn from the past (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Last week, the Herald knocked it out of the park with its special reports on AI and the explosion of data centre applications in Scotland. By the nature of AI’s hyper-rapid development, not just the public, but policy makers and, yes, trade unionists must wrestle with a range of competing issues at an uncomfortable pace. Just as AI itself has us weighing up significant benefits against very significant potential harm, the data centres that drive them throw up massive conundrums too. That the con

    Scots are promised £2 bus fares. So why will private operators keep cashing in? (opens the original)

    Read excerpt

    Both north and south of the border, governments continue to struggle to reconcile the demands of the public in wanting tangible action during a cost-of-living crisis with the slow, incremental progress that politicians invariably serve up. For example, the Prime Minister’s measures on reducing VAT on electricity bills, pledges to end rough sleeping and rhetoric, if for now light on action, to end the broken neo-liberal economic model that has plagued the UK for decades have been welcome. In Sc

    Scottish Government's public sector reform plans 'risk damaging frontline services' (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The First Minister and I agree on this: Scotland's public finances are under pressure. But acknowledging a difficult financial position is one thing. Presenting workers and the public with a false choice between accepting cuts or abandoning hope of sustainable public finances is quite another. That is the fundamental issue at the heart of this week's Programme for Government. We were told, in effect, that significant reductions in public spending are unavoidable and that the answer lies in a pro

    Why Scotland's politicians should be a little more like Dolly Parton (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Being called a dolly isn’t usually something one wishes to be called in Scotland. To be hard of thinking. To be logically deficient. To be immune from the impacts of knowledge. It’s an insult that’s usually directed towards women and is always derogatory. But being Dolly? That’s something else entirely and I, for one, would wear the moniker with pride. As has been the case with innumerable notable passings before, tributes are posted, tweets are drafted and even a column or two dedicated to them

    Programme for Government 2026: Scotland needs action, not policy by press release (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    I don't think it's too controversial to say that the most recent electoral success of the SNP last May was in spite of, rather than because of, how the majority of voters judged its record over recent years. It certainly wouldn't be the first time a government was elected because it was the least unpopular of the offers available. Just look at the post-Iraq War election of Labour in the 2005 UK General Election. It is unlikely any time soon that the SNP is going to regain popularity to match the
