Good to see the return ticket for peak rail fares in Scotland being cancelled. First Minister says they'll be scrapped "for good". But, overall, this #PFG feels like treading water with 12 months to go of this Parliament. Oxfam Scotland's key takeaways 👇 #ProgrammeforGovernment

REACTION: The The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification finds the risk of famine "increasingly likely" in #Gaza. Gaza’s starvation is not incidental—it is deliberate, entirely engineered, and has now created the largest population facing starvation in the world. 👉Our full reaction oxf.am/3SwvfDr

More than 18 months. More than 52,000 people killed by Israel in #Gaza. And the UK still supplies the weapons. The UK Government is complicit. Today outside Parliament, we again say @KeirStarmer David Lammy UK Prime Minister — not in our name. #StopArmingIsrael

When politicians call for slower climate action, they rarely mention what we’ll miss out on. Fewer children with asthma. Lower energy bills. Cleaner rivers. Thriving wildlife. Jobs for the long-term. Isn't that the future we should all be fighting for? bit.ly/3GPkZUf

As GOV.UK tries to distance itself from the bloodshed in Gaza, it must now go further and suspend all arms exports. But with 52,000+ people killed in Gaza and babies starving to death, it’s time for tougher action from Scottish Government too 🔽 thenational.scot/news/25181064.… The National
