If Tommy Robinson is celebrating Labour, then the party deserves to die The UK governmentโ€™s new asylum and immigration rules are the antithesis of everything Labour is supposed to represent, Neil Mackay argues. Byโ€ฆ

Labour under Keir Starmer is now so far from its roots that it is no longer Labour; it has journeyed so far from the shore upon which it began its journey that the point of departure is no longer visible. The price it will pay for abandoning its beliefs is destruction

Even when Scotland gets a global thumbs-up financially the SNP get zero credit In Scotland, any news โ€“ even good news โ€“ is subjected to partisan point-scoring. It means we repeatedly fail to have the debates we really need,โ€ฆ

Even when Scotland is praised on the world stage the SNP gets no credit

Financial agencies applaud Scotlandโ€™s economy, but all we get is sneering. Govts need held to account but credit where credit is due

It shows how meaningless the quality of our debate has become

What has Yvette Cooperโ€™s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?

Beyond absurd. Itโ€™s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.

It undermines police and the law.
