‘Disillusioned Men’ feels almost too on the nose as a report theme. And on a wintry Leith morning – pre-coffee, standing in the foothills of your sixties – the disillusionments do seem to crowd the horizon, writes Pat Kane ✍️

Child poverty in Scotland has fallen to its lowest level in three decades, with both absolute and relative rates continuing to sit well below the UK average. For 2023–24, those rates were 22% and 17% respectively – 9% lower than the UK’s 31% and 26%

On this day in 2013: Construction work was completed on Andy Scott's The Kelpies in the Helix Park, Falkirk. Standing at over 98ft high, these incredible, enormous steel sculptures are unmissable attractions.

If the richest people in the UK had paid their taxes at the top 47% rate that everyone else has to there would be no debt.
75% of debt is owed to banks, billionaires and their corporations.
You should write it all off as they already stolen it all in tax avoidance.

The UK is about to give the US an extra £3bn a year.
The NHS 'can't afford' to pay doctors £500m a year more.
But it will give the USA 6x as much for nothing.

Johnson spent years charming, bluffing, and backstabbing his way to the top.
Positioning himself as a latter-day Churchill when the moment came and leadership was desperately needed, he showed us who he was...
