This is ridiculous. There clearly has not been a 660% increase in terrorism
in the UK over the past year.

So it seems that Glasgow's data on children whose first language is not English shows that overall these learners have higher than average educational achievements. Some important context for #Farage, the #Telegraph and the #BBC to reflect on.

New study from LSE, York & Glasgow universities shows the Scottish Child Payment is transforming lives.
Without it, 70,000 more children would face deprivation and food insecurity.
We will keep investing in families and lifting children out of poverty.

Innocent children are still being killed or dying of other war-related causes in Gaza, despite so-called 'ceasefire'.
Where will the survivors sleep tonight?
Refugee families are living in rain soaked tents, water above their ankles, bedding, everything, soaking wet.
IDF still restricting aid.

Agreed, but this is so blatant, even for their own standards.
In recent days BBCScotland phone app gave time to;
1) SLab attack on NHS Scotland via their own sanctioned report 🙄
2) Reform announcement/PR stunt at Falkirk/Grangemouth
But they choose to ignore the ScotGov’s view on energy. Unbiased?
