Your children need to be ordinarily resident in Scotland for 3 years immediately before the start date of their university course to qualify for free tuition. The key legal test is living in Scotland (and having settled status) for those 3 full years prior to 1 August of the year they start

Thanks. He has a health condition so couldn't risk a manky student flat. His sister is in a manky flat that we have tried to deep clean. What my daughter has in work ethic for her studies and job she lacks in picking up after herself and cleaning. Bloody kids. Gotta love them.

His sister got FOMO so has a flat in Edinburgh. She has a part-time job in term time that she does more hours at in the holidays. That keeps her loans down. She has free tuition as well.

My son graduated from university this summer. He is a Scottish graduate who went to a Scottish university. As such he didn't pay any tuition fees. As he commuted from home, he has no debt from living in Edinburgh. A graduate with no debt. Just like his dad and mum were.

A glimmer of hope. But hope isn't enough. The UK must stop standing by while international law is torn apart. We must use every lever to end the genocide, end the occupation, stop illegal settlements, and deliver justice for Palestinians. Words don't save lives. Actions do.

Because appointing someone who was fined £100 for not reporting that she found the phone she thought was stolen is so much more serious than choosing as your right hand man someone who was imprisoned after being charged with money laundering, blackmail and extortion.

Andy Burnham voted for the Iraq War, an illegal war that killed over a million people. He joined Labour Friends of Israel, called BDS “spiteful”, praised Israel as a “democracy”, described the Balfour Declaration as “British values in action”, and still refuses to call the Gaza genocide a genocide.

Once donated, the money became SNP funds, not the donor’s, so individuals wouldn’t likely be entitled to claim it back. The SNP were the victims here, not those at fault. Talk of “claiming it back” risks implying otherwise. Perhaps the SNP should instead pursue Murrell for the amount embezzled.

...are pro Independence. If it was the same voting as Westminster in Scotland then the SNP would have had a 78% of the seats. Note that pro Independence parties have their largest majority ever in Scotland. This must be spread far and wide. Democracy cannot be denied by Westminster under Labour.

This week will show that Westminster denies democracy again. Scotland returns a majority of MSPs that are pro Independence. They apply to Westminster to hold a referendum on Independence. Westminster will deny this. Labour are in power at Westminster with 33.7% of the vote. 73 out of 129 MSPs....

A system designed to not get a majority worked as expected. The 2 nearest parties to the SNP (Liebour and the Fascists) have 41 less seats than the SNP each. And those parties only have 2 seats more than the Scottish Greens!

SNP got 5% more in the FPTP constituency seat vote than Labour got for their landslide General Election victory in 2024. If this was a FPTP election, the SNP would have had 57 of the 73 seats which is 78% of the seats. This was a serious drubbing of the other parties. The SNP won this election.

Despite the media assault, in the Scottish elections the people have returned a record majority of pro-indy MSPs. That majority consists of 58 SNP MSPs and 15 Scottish Green MSPs, a record for Scotland's 2nd pro-indy party. Bringing the total pro-indy MSPs to 73! Democratically backing Independence
