@Nike terrible customer service this morning. Has anyone else been scammed by their cardboard vouchers? Removing the silver panel damaged the PIN and they refuse to sort it out. Oh well just emptied my basket!

As of today, this is how women must dress in Afghanistan, according to the Taliban's Supreme Leader.

The following rules are now in effect: The full face must be covered—no hands, nothing visible. The black veil was presented as a "recommendation" a year ago, now it is the law.

Statement:
It is with increased discomfort we view the unseemly language being used to denigrate Kate Forbes MSP – a potential candidate for the office of First Minister.
Let me be very clear; I am not a Scottish nationalist and do not support the fragmenting of the United Kingdom. But that does not prevent me, nor the Indian Councils of Scotland and the United Kingdom, from expressing our collective disgust at the language used to mis-characterise a young, Scottish Protestant, Kate Forbes.
She is in our view, doing her utmost as a devout Christian, to adhere to the teachings of her Saviour.
I have never met Ms Forbes – but I understand her family distinguished themselves in India. Her father worked as an accountant managing the finances of a group of Christian mission hospitals which ensured people living in poverty were able to access free health care.
For that alone, the Indian Councils of Scotland and the United Kingdom, salute the Forbes family.
As a child in India – we know Ms Forbes will have been imbued with a deep love and affection for the people of India, their traditions, religions, and varying social and economic circumstances.
Are some members of her own party and the extremists of the Green party really saying a young Highland lady, and a follower of Jesus Christ, is not fit to hold the highest office in devolved Scotland?
If every other faith was subjected to the scrutiny and opprobrium Ms Forbes and her Church is subjected to – few would be deemed fit for office by the secular ‘religious police’.
Religious intolerance blights our society - and what has been said and written about Ms Forbes, shames us all. I am not from her religious tradition, but I commend her honesty and the uncomplicated simplicity of her Christian faith. Her mother and father laboured as devout Scottish Christians in India. Sadly, it appears, their talented daughter is not allowed to express her faith in her native land.
I’ll finish this note with a quote from Kate Forbes, speaking on the BBC, she said:
“I believe in the person of Jesus Christ, I believe He died for me, He saved me and that my calling is to serve and to love Him and to serve and love my neighbours with all my heart and soul and mind and strength. So that, for me, is essential to my being. Politics will pass. I was a person before I was a politician, and that person will continue to believe that I am made in the image of God.”

@gerrymc63 Happy birthday to you both! 🎂🎂🎂

[Louise 🚜💙 @Urqhuart6]

I wasn't made aware that my 10 year old would be learning about this at school. I would have liked the opportunity to be able to discuss it with him, to answer questions.

What are we doing to our children? @miriam_cates

Having listened to the recording can I just say the parents of the two girls should be unbelievably proud of how they calmly debated. They made clear that they are not homophobic but would not be taught that someone could identify as a cat. Actually can’t believe I’m writing the last sentence 😩

Has the Islamic Republic of Iran really just committed to executing 15,000 arrested protesters - mainly young women - and to having those who are virgins raped first so they can't get to paradise? If so why isn't that leading every news bulletin?

@_stcolumba What a lovely way to remember Mr Queen ❤️

[Scouts @scouts]

We’re proud that 120 Scouts aged 18-25 from across the UK have volunteered to support everyone who’ll be paying their respects to HM Queen in London this week. Scouts have a long history of supporting the nation and serving our communities: we’re honoured to play our part.

Why do I look like so many female politicians

[Cllr Clare Steel @carerclare]

We spent some time last night taking some pictures Katie (with her approval for awareness raising) with some of her equipment that keeps her alive day in day out!
This is Katie with her feeding pump and milk, this is the only way Katie gets fed, this allows her to not starve!
