@ThirdForceNews @scvotweet @VHSComms This image suggests @ThirdForceNews is available in printed form? How do I subscribe? .... But if it is still electronic only it's totally misleading to use imagery like this.

@BordersBuses Fortunately I wasn't wanting to catch this bus, but I think passengers deserve a more specific explanation than "unforeseen circumstances". Don't you agree, @BordersBuses?

Delighted to be en route to a dinner in Edinburgh with @JohnSwinney and @guyverhofstadt, organised by @euromovescot. This could be a key event for the future of #scotlandineurope

Baroness Hayter passionately summarises what this law would mean for dying people:

'This bill is not about people choosing to die. They are dying. This bill is about helping them make those final days easier for those who so choose.

It is about dying people who want a loved one with them, because this bill is allowing that.'

@Lawscot annual conference today at @eicc Edinburgh. Good to be attending as a member of two LSS committees. Opening speech from new CEO Ben Kemp.

Is your NGO facing volatility? Join us tomorrow, 9 October, with @BirchesGroup for a practical and insightful webinar as we explore how NGOs can navigate volatility across various contexts, from donor funding to staff layoffs and pay cuts.

The real story behind asylum hotels. Private companies are lining their pockets with huge profits while people seeking safety are forced to live in sub-standard conditions

@Helen_Barnard Helen - Thanks for your honesty but don't you feel that people with colds (and any other respiratory bugs) should stay away from large gatherings like party conferences, theatres, etc as with Covid? There will almost certainly be some people who could get seriously ill.

@Kimkjaerside @eicc @RoyalStatSoc Good event, but sad to have to use X - shouldn't #EICClive be on Blue Sky?

[Gareth G Morgan @CharityProf]

Amazing AGM of @TheWineSociety - something like 1500 people involved! The Committee's passion for the Society's status as a mutual is outstanding. Alan Black (Chair) says it takes up to two years for new Committee members really to understand the mutual concept in their soul!

BREAKING: MPs back assisted dying Bill at Third Reading.

▶️ For: 314
▶️ Against: 291

This is a landmark moment for choice, compassion and dignity at the end of life.

[Dignity in Dying @dignityindying]

The final vote is now happening. The division has been called and MPs are now voting on the Bill.

[Gareth G Morgan @CharityProf]

Very helpful tweets from @dignityindying on the 3rd Reading Debate today on the E&W Bill for assisted dying.

Although this Bill will not directly apply in Scotland, it will be very helpful for the Scottish Bill. For Christian arguments in Scotland see https://t.co/2edJyzlNS6

[Dr Peter Prinsley MP @PeterPrinsley]

As a young doctor, I found assisted dying totally unconscionable.

But, now that I'm an old doctor, I feel sure that it's an essential change.

🧡Seeking asylum is a human right.
Refugees are not threats: they are our sisters and brothers in Christ fleeing violence or persecution.

📢This #RefugeeWeek we call for compassion and for a humane asylum system where no one is driven to make perilous journeys in small boats.

[Gareth G Morgan @CharityProf]

Good to have a presentation at @CharityLawAssoc by @Saffa_Mir of Pennington Manches Cooper and trustee of @muslimcharities specifically on faith charities. Quite a lot of charity people seem uncomfortable about faith-based charities so glad the CLA is giving a clear focus.

[Gareth G Morgan @CharityProf]

Hooray! Ben Harrison (Head of Charity Law at @DCMS) confirms they are finally planning to update the E&W charity accounting regs for new Charities #SORP 2026. It is scandalous that the E&W regulations were never updated for last SORP. @CharityLawAssoc

[Gareth G Morgan @CharityProf]

Two very different charity meetings today of orgs where I am a member: Scottish @Grantmakers this morning and @CharityLawAssoc now. Both online, but I was encouraged that CLA gave the option of meeting in person: there was a real buzz!

[SCIAF 🧡 @sciaf]

We signed this letter ⬇️

[OSCR @ScotCharityReg]

From 31 August 2025, there will be new rules about who is not allowed to be a charity trustee in Scotland. Our guidance explains more about what this means for your charity and what action you need to take now.
