More investment. More opportunities for Scottish businesses. More good jobs coming to Scotland. That’s what stronger links with India will deliver for Scotland. I am working to make the most of these relationships to grow our economy and improve people’s lives.

Three-quarters of the responses to the 2023 UK govt consultation on the tobacco and vapes bill were machine-generated. 90,835 of the 118,756 responses were by bots. Corporations have a new tool for subverting polices and public opinion; to increase profits, spread addiction, health hazards.

Was about to buy some Scott paper towels today until I found out its parent company Kimberly-Clark is heavily invested in Israel. Good riddance. Many better alternatives out there. #EndZionism #SanctionIsrael #BoycottIsrael #GazaHolocaust

Our newest arrivals. They are called Bonnie and Clyde. 2 nice ladies got them out of this neglect situation. Sadly a 3rd dog died there recently. Hopefully we can turn their lives around 🤞❤️

HSBC quarterly pre-tax profits surge 32% to $9.6bn (£7.14bn). Banks receive bailouts, subsidies, pay measly return to savers, hike charges, rely on the state as lender of the last resort but threaten retaliation if taxed. Must levy windfall tax.

This is how the UK Chancellor can increase the income tax personal allowance by £3,000. Must end/curtail subsidies to banks. Align tax rates on capital gains & dividends with those on wages. Inconvenience to a few, but millions will be lifted out of hardship.
