Now, if the UK were to use more more butter in bakery products, that would help to prevent deforestation in places like Indonesia, where forests have been burnt to the ground to be replaced by palm oil plantations.

On holiday, so took a look at the young family population (via primary school roll) trend across the Highlands. This video is basically just stepping through some pretty concerning data, both on the values and the trends.

John Swinney, 2026: "Ultimately, sovereign power rests with the United Kingdom government. So it has the final say."
Canon Kenyon Wright, 1989: "What if that other voice we all know so well responds by saying, 'We say no, and we are the state'? Well we say yes – and we are the people."
Thirty-seven years on from that iconic statement of Scots sovereignty from Kenyon Wright, are Scots today being short-changed by their leaders?

I wrote one of only 2 pieces to appear either in newspapers or online marking the 50th anniversary of the death of local democracy in Scotland. If there is to be a revival, can the people have a say, please? andywightman.scot/2025/05/50…

Expect much more land in Scotland to be bought up by folk trying to avoid inheritance tax. To add to the tens of thousands already in the hands of external financial interests. Land reform has yet to touch the sides of this because policy makers and politicians don’t see it as a problem. Indeed many in current administration see the Gresham Houses of the world as a good thing for the Scottish economy. wealthclub.co.uk/news-and-in…

Funny how it's so often Scotland's resources which are plundered for corporate profit - while we pay higher energy costs than England.

The SNP Government gave no consideration to Scotland becoming an independent country when it set up its 10-year bonds programme, freedom of information requests have revealed. #SNP #ScottishGovernment #Bonds #ScottishIndependence #News4Scotland #TheScotlandChannel

The future of Ireland is for the people of this island to decide, and for the people of this island alone.
It is not the right of any British Prime Minister to deny our people’s right to self-determination.
Today I met with Andy Burnham and directly challenged his anti-democratic comments on a referendum on Irish unity, which are completely at odds with the Good Friday Agreement.
The right to a referendum on Irish unity was guaranteed by the Good Friday Agreement, and that Agreement must be honoured.
I have full belief and confidence in the ability of all the people of our island to take full control of our own future and to build a new and united Ireland.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Good Friday (Belfast) Agreement, which Sinn Féin participated in the negotiations for, clearly establishes that the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland is the sole authority on calling a border poll, based on his perception of the support for a united Ireland.

Australia's electricity prices fall to free!
"Over the past 12 months, wholesale electricity prices dropped nearly in half. And millions of consumers can now sign up for three hours of free power in the middle of the day."
How? Solar, battery & wind

Hey @scotgov set up a Shadow Energy Regulator to calculate what Scotland is missing out on, what our energy prices would be in an iScot & what’s the impact on our economy if we had full control over our own energy market #CircuitBreaker #ScottishNationalInterest
