Richard Baker MP

Scotland's public services have flatlined under nearly 20 years of the SNP, while England's are improving.

An extra £9.1 bn is coming to Scotland over the next three years.

The SNP now have no more excuses for failure. The people of Scotland need - and deserve - better.

Family of man found badly decomposed in caravan seek police apology Fife-born John Reddington's family say they were dismissed by Police Scotland and West Mercia Police after they raised concerns about him.

The way John Reddington's case was dealt with by police at all levels needs to be reviewed, so lessons can be learned and no family has to go through the anxiety and pain the Connor family endured.

As fewer survivors remain to warn young generations of horrors of the Holocaust, we must carry their lessons forward - and stand against all forms of hate and prejudice.

Oasis tickets: music  fans deserve fair priced tickets, not dynamic pricing Thousands of people are happy it’s 2025 for one very good reason. Oasis.

Music fans are being ripped off by 'dynamic pricing' and greedy ticket touts.

The UK Government has launched a consultation to look at new measures to put fans firmly back at the heart of the live events sector.

Glenrothes MP backs calls for new commission to improve care for terminally ill patients A Fife MP has backed Gordon Brown’s call for a new commission to improve care for terminally ill patients.

In Fife in 2023, 25% of working-age people who died, died in poverty, compared to 14% of pension-age people
