During #WorldWaterWeek, we expose Israel's #WaterWarCrimes in Gaza🔎 🔴Water being used as a weapon of war 🔴68% of water infrastructure significantly damaged 🔴Just 4.74 litres per person a day The UK Government must immediately suspend ALL arms sales: bit.ly/StopArmingIsra…

Great to see Jamie Livingstone from Oxfam Scotland makes the case for new Scottish wellbeing legislation heraldscotland.com/politics/viewp…

Sobering stuff. Tackling the key challenges facing Scotland – including poverty/climate change/inequality – requires long-term thinking rather than short-term Budget sticking plasters. Scottish Government must invest in/unlock Scotland's potential through far-reaching, fair tax reforms.

'It's all tied to the same policies of forcible displacement and collective punishment, destroying civilian infrastructure and making life so unliveable that you have to leave' Our colleague Bushra from Oxfam in Jerusalem speaks to The National ⬇️ thenational.scot/news/24548221.…

🔴Israel is weaponising water in #Gaza: bombing water systems, obstructing water delivery and leaving people with less than a third of what they need to survive. Meanwhile the UK Government continues to allow arms sales to Israel. Demand action: bit.ly/StopArmingIsra…

Great to hear Lucy Mulvagh FRSA MCIPR highlight @ScotGov's upcoming Tax Strategy as a key tool to fulfil human rights in Scotland. Valuable The ALLIANCE at #SNP24 on critical importance of a robust Human Rights Bill.

Good to hear Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes MSP strong commitment to End Child Poverty #SNP24 The moral, economic and human rights cases for doing so are overwhelming. So, surely it's time to use and reform devolved taxes in ways that align with this key priority?

Having yesterday warned folk may leave Scotland if we tax them more... 'If we want a more equitable distribution of wealth... start with our land.. The land has been used to make other people rich', says Kate Forbes MSP #SNP24 Land & property can't move. Time to tax them better?

Amid #poverty, #inequality + #ClimateCrisis ... Encouraging #SNP24 motion overwhelmingly passed for "practical moves" to: "Explore realistic options for a wealth tax" + "Increase the tax contribution of higher earners" All 👀 on @ScotGov's Tax Strategy + Scottish Budget 25-26

Scotland has a widening and grotesque wealth gap, with levels of wealth inequality even deeper than those related to incomes. Scottish Government has a national commitment to share wealth more equally. It must act & use its upcoming tax strategy to fundamentally rethink devolved taxes.

REACTION: Oxfam response to the UK Government suspension of 30 out of 350 UK arms licences to Israel, Halima Begum, chief executive Full response here: oxfam.org.uk/mc/ek63dp/

🚨Suspending just 30 licences out of 350, and crucially leaving loopholes for components in F-35 fighter jets is nowhere near adequate. Stronger action is needed with a suspension of all arms exports & closing all loop holes. Demand it ➡️bit.ly/StopArmingIsra…

Buying just 1 pair of jeans and a t-shirt second-hand could save the equivalent of 20,000 standard bottles of water, new Oxfam analysis reveals. We spoke to STV News about how our wardrobes are overflowing in a world where fresh water is running short ⬇️ #SecondHandSeptember

More hardship and hollowing out of public spending are the very last thing Scotland needs when economic inequality is rising, poverty rates are stubbornly high and climate change targets are crumbling. Our response to the statement in Scottish Parliament by Shona Robison MSP ⬇️

What do we need to see in today's Programme for Government? New, bold and decisive action backed by commitments to transformative tax reforms to enable major new public investment. Jamie Livingstone in The Herald ⬇️ heraldscotland.com/politics/viewp…

Commitments in the Programme for Gov on clean home heating systems and enhancing support for low-income families are encouraging, but with emergency spending cuts this year, we’ll continue facing the same predictable gap between commitments and cash ⬇️ bit.ly/47cAUVY

'We've been warning for quite some time that the numbers don't add up and we need to take action through our tax system' Jamie Livingstone speaking to BBC Radio Scotland earlier ⬇️ Without action on tax, today's Programme for Government risks being nothing but half empty promises.

Today Scottish Government has published a draft new climate law, to officially ditch key climate targets. Instead of being focused on fairly cutting emissions, Scottish Government is cutting green budgets and moving the climate goalposts because of inadequate climate action: bit.ly/3zaVVnh

The message ⏬ to @ScotGov from the climate movement is clear: fairly raise the money needed and deliver faster climate action. The decision to change Scotland's climate rulebook can't create more delays. Stop Climate Chaos Scotland wwfscotland 🌍 Friends of the Earth Scotland 🌎 Our reaction: bit.ly/3zaVVnh
