It's nonsense that all state kids are poor and all private school kids are posh This is a blunt and discriminatory way of means testing but quite in keeping with the vitriol against parents who choose other than state education

The Sandie Peggie employment tribunal is currently exposing, as perhaps no court case to date has, the issue of class as it relates to the top-down imposition of gender identity ideology in the workplace. 'Diversity officer' Isla Bumba has now admitted in court that she didn't…

Feed the Children of Gaza, no child should be starving.

The @ASSCnews has criticised Ross Greer MSP’s latest proposal to impose punitive taxes on short-term lets in an apparent attempt to protect Gaelic-speaking communities. The industry has labelled his barmy plans as an evidence-free and ideologically driven fixation. Indeed, this…

Trying to do a work Teams meeting in a flat on the High Street but it’s impossible with the noise. But @Edinburgh_CC think this area is great for family homes. Yeah, right @SaveSCScotland #savescscotland

This is a joke. But not a funny one

This is undoubtedly a safeguarding issue. That government money is being spent on this dangerous madness is absolutely disgraceful. thetimes.com/article/6d9dbb…

Was able to highlight that hospitality is most highly taxed segment of economy - paying 75% of profit back to govt - and our consumers are the most highly taxed in Europe with almost half the price they pay being tax - without a lower VAT rate. We’re in danger of being #TaxedOut

The @thesnp botched visitor levy is highly complex and unworkable. You would have thought @scotgov would have checked HMRC guidance first. @Ivan_McKee @_KateForbes icas.com/news-insights-…

The big corporate hotel boys have Edinburgh council in their back pocket and maybe even on the payroll? They call the shots. Investors have ‘insatiable appetite’ for Edinburgh hotels scotsman.com/business/inves…

The Brize Norton activist has done the RAF a favour by highlighting security failures before an organisation intent on greater destruction did likewise. That it happened at all is an eye opener

93,938 residential homes worth £18.468 billion sit empty across 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Meanwhile the @scotgov and councils like @Edinburgh_CC shutdown thousands of self catering businesses + B&Bs using STL licensing.. damaging 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 economy. @_KateForbes @MairiMcAllan scottishlandlords.com/news-and-campa…

If you’re marching through London in support of an Iranian regime which murders gay people and is one of the most repressive governments against women on Earth, please re-examine your moral compass.

Why has Cowgate just been blocked off by the police? #Edinburgh

I’d love to see a picture of all the people on the Edinburgh council bet there’s some real STUNING individuals

I suspect the Israeli cabinet will now be in emergency session considering how to respond to this devastating commentary from a leader of such global stature.

A hard truth for @Ross_Greer. The greens actually created more second homes by introducing STL licensing. Andy Wightman's bill enabled the closure of local self-catering businesses which, in the more picturesque parts of 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, were then were snapped up as second homes ie Plockton.

Sad what Edinburgh Council has done, destroying all self catering. Control Zone requires planning making the STL licence useless without it. 10X less STLs than they thought there were!!! Don’t be surprised if the most famous arts festival moves cities in next few years. #SaveSC

What is being filmed on the Royal Mile at the moment? #edinburgh #scottishfilm
