I'd agree, at Edinburgh this has been an issue for many decades over various funding models!

I mean is it particularly different than how the SNP manage it?

The DPM role only has became permanent really since Boris nearly died so there's not that many 'real' conventions around it I think.

This is so many of the people I (very recently) went to school with. Extreme violent content and extreme pornography. I cannot understand why some think it is acceptable to do NOTHING to stop children access it.

Okay I’ve found the best trans pride sign

Something that is under discussed is the 2 year terms. There is no reason why he cannot be replaced by someone with less baggage IF they can be found. He can sort them for the next set of locals and then they can get someone better for the general election.

The only sad thing about The Nine being cancelled was that it was literally the ONLY tv show with Green Party commentators who weren't MSPs. Shows that there is really no excuse for it though, Green commentators can be found if they are wanted.

😭

Their coverage is terrible. Great time to be a terrible person, they'd never find out and report it up here 😭

An update from NHS Fife While the claimant raised concerns about a trans woman’s use of a locker room, this was not the reason that NHS Fife’s internal investigation was initiated. As made clear during tribunal proceedings, the disciplinary process was initiated due to concerns raised about interactions with a colleague and patient care. The Health Board has a responsibility to fully investigate where concerns are raised about the conduct of any of its employees, in accordance with established policies and procedures. The act of investigating a concern does not assume any wrongdoing. An internal disciplinary investigation is not of itself punitive in nature and exists to fairly assess concerns raised by establishing facts. At the stage legal action via an employment tribunal was taken by the claimant in this case, NHS Fife had not reached any final conclusions on its internal investigation although, as widely reported, this has since been completed. NHS Fife believes its internal disciplinary process in this matter has been fair and impartial.

An update from NHS Fife Why is NHS Fife continuing the tribunal case? Why not simply drop the action? NHS Fife did not initiate the ongoing tribunal proceedings and is instead one of two ‘respondents’ being sued. NHS Fife cannot unilaterally stop proceedings. The health board is not pursuing any legal action against the claimant - it is instead defending itself, as it is required to do. The legal case concerns a range of different claims and allegations, against NHS Fife and its staff, including in relation to the claimant’s suspension, the investigation, and other matters allegedly said or done.

A reminder the NHS Fife employment tribunal many are losing their minds over is not about whether trans people should use certain bathrooms, it was about allegations of bullying and harassment against a trans doctor. Despite campaigners claiming differently, it's not up to NHS Fife to drop the case.

🚨 Call for evidence on banning unpaid internships 🚨

Today, the Department for Business and Trade has announced a new call for evidence to inform what action the Government should take to put an end to unpaid internships!

This a very positive announcement ⤵️

It probably won't advantage Labour at this point and tbh I don't think that's their POV anyway on this.

No this is such a dumb argument I can't... 😭

😂

Ex-Labour MP campaigning against gambling industry? Never thought I'd see the day 🎉

More things like this, reflecting the WHOLE of the UK please!

In London working for a while, and I get to use the newlyish minted Windrush Line a lot which I think is A Pretty Cool Thing.

There's similar situation occurring in the Scottish Greens. It's an absolute nightmare! 😞

Yeah they'd be much better supporting the 'radical' greens seeming ascendency imo. There's an opportunity to further shift left a (former) governing party in Scotland yet these folk seem largely uninterested.

Me too 🙌

I’ve voted and I stuck to my pledge to #RankWomenFirst 🗳️

TIL: experiencing homelessness is apparently not life experience

I still can't believe how badly researched most reporting on SGP is. And these folk were meant to 'scrutinize' Green government ministers!

Of course I read this on the Edinburgh to London train! Perhaps time to turn around...

At least they aren't in single digits again LOL

weeehee I love Westminster's care for north of the border 😔

I wonder how they are planning (if at all) to make this work with devolved benefits.

🚨BREAKING: After years of campaigning, the Gypsy Traveller community has finally received an apology for the cruel Tinker Experiments.

This is not the end of righting wrongs. The @scottishgreens.org are proud to have raised this in with Parliament, most recently last month.

I'm glad to live in a world where we're finally waking up to the fact that cars have killed our cities.
