Rafah is being decimated, there is nowhere else left to go. Israel is now bombing more than 1.7 million civilians trapped in Rafah, Gaza's last place of refuge. A massacre is happening in Rafah right now and the world is silent.

A few weeks ago we couldn't seem to get beyond 45,000 followers. We'd reach 45,700 and immediately drop back thirty followers each time. Seems we've managed to overcome that hurdle. Closing in on 45,800. We can't be far behind Good Morning Scotland listener numbers.

MSM Monitor It’s not the circulation numbers that are the issue . Hardly anybody I know buys a paper these days. It’s the fact that what they print is regurgitated as “news” by the tv and online media that people DO read. And it’s not news .. it’s opinion but some people still think it is

Anas Sarwar Poor old Bill. He was dead against Fife Labour Council's teaching cuts in 2015 but has now 'seen the error of his ways'. So he'll back Fife Labour teacher cuts next time around.
