Yesterday Justice Department released three additional interviews the FBI conducted in 2019 with an Epstein Victim. She filed a formal complaint that Trump raped her in the 1980s when she was 13-15 years old. Some events described match Virginia Guiffre. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

Tomorrow's wrap-around front page of The National. This is the human cost. As the UK Government talks a big game of being ready to join the US and Israel in war, over 150 families are mourning their children. Their little girls were mostly aged 7-12.

A favourite cringe story came when an SNP councillor suggested to a Labour education Convener in Tayside Region that Scottish studies should be an integral part of the schools curriculum. He replied, “No, we live in a multicultural society!” Every culture was to be taught there except our own.

St Andrews is a beautiful place steeped in Scottish history. All my children went to Madras College there too so I greatly value it and want it to thrive. This was an aberration though which reeks of cultural colonisation.

To everyone who abhors this ludicrous cultural assimilation here’s another sign from a close in Cupar that has relevance to Scots and reminds me of the Scots phrase, “Tak tent or it’s tint.” - take care or it’s gone - use it or lose it. Yaise yer leid ilka day o yer life, friens.

Deformed thinking.
NOBODY CAN CANCEL THEIR REFORM

More and more people are reporting they
find it impossible to cancel their Reform UK

I'm even hearing people say they cancelled
and the direct debit for renewal was taken

So, Anas Sarwar in 2024 wanted UK Labour to deliver change that would benefit Scotland. He asked us to vote for Starmer. Now he says that UK Labour is not delivering for Scotland. He is effectively saying we need decisions made in Scotland. How can we trust him?

Farage and Reform point the finger. They do not fix the problem. They offer blame, not answers. They offer slogans, not solutions. Housing stays broken. Wages stay low. Public services keep failing. If you want change, you need policies that work. Not someone to blame.
Square graphic showing a bleak urban scene. A group of people stand behind fencing and rubble. Large white text says that when wages stagnate and services collapse, blame shifts to immigrants, minorities, and people with less power. Yellow highlighted words stress that blame never fixed housing, never raised pay, and never improved schools or hospitals. At the bottom, bold text says blame feels satisfying, it does not work.

In Northern Ireland, the system of devolution includes a provision for independence referendums. In Scotland, there is no such provision. The Scotland Act 1998 was a stitch up.
