“That’s the party that will be the most successful in this debate” Geoff Aberdein sums up frustrations that Scotland's energy industries has with different political parties, and what he thinks John Swinney could do to get them on his side.

“The public have told that we are three headed monsters that eat babies” Malcolm Offord sets out what his goals are for Reform UK during this parliamentary session. He suggests that his MSPs will have to prove that they are ‘decent, sensible people that really care about Scotland’.

Our grocery prices are about to go up again. Why? Because of Trump's reckless war in Iran. I grew up on a family farm. We needed fertilizer every spring when we planted our corn and soybeans.

In Gaza, MSF treats many patients with severe facial burns—85 per cent of 88 are children. They need 3D-printed pressure masks to prevent lifelong disfigurement. Since 3 December 2025, we have not able to bring in new supplies and only two functioning scanners remain in the entire Strip.
