The Good Morning Scotland team this morning decided to lead their newspaper review with the nonsense that high-earners are leaving Scotland because income tax is too high. These newspapers weren't chosen by chance.

We are, of course, elated, but my father-in-law said, "My heart is broken in two, and with my mum, son & grandchildren in Gaza." He then broke down telling me how hard it was saying goodbye to them.
We know Keir Starmer has barred Labour politicians from attending pro-Palestine demos. Now we need to know if Anas Sarwar sanctioned Pauline McNeill's appearance as a speaker. Why do we need to know? Because this is a major split, and Sarwar can't back both McNeill *and* Starmer.
The Labour Party has told young Scots that Scotland can never rejoin the EU as part of the UK. Labour is now a hard line Brexit party. So what does that mean? Well here's what the loss of Erasmus means for starters....
