Castles, sporting estates and prime city-centre property worth tens of millions of pounds are among the assets missing from Scotland’s land control register. Find out more: www.theferret.scot/offshore-landown…
Black and white image of a Scottish town and large historic building, with The Ferret logo. Text reads: “Revealed. Hundreds of offshore landowners are illegally flouting Scotland’s land control register. Offshore companies which own Scottish land are breaking the law by failing to reveal who they really represent. Authorities aren’t bothering to check.”

Now that election expenses are back I can reveal that for every single one of my constituency votes (9003) each cost my team around 0.03 pence. Now that’s what an efficient ground game looks like 🤣

Overlapping with the BBS poll, a second Survation paints a slightly better picture for the SNP and Greens, versus a poorer Conservative and Reform seat tally. Beware the margin of error though!

This wasn't the first time I've heard Reform candidates openly promoting lies and conspiracy theories. But it was the most shocking. It covered vaccines, climate, neurodiversity, and more. Parliament needs safeguards against the wave of disinformation these people will bring if they're elected.

Morning Star. Scottish Greens pledge to clean up Scotland’s rivers and lochs with Clean Water Bill. An estimated 30 billion litres of raw sewerage was dumped into Scotland’s watercourses in 2024, with just one third of the 4,083 sewer overflows being monitored at all.
