Labour couldn't save Scotland's only oil refinery at Grangemouth yet Labour are spending £1.3 billion on a theme park in England.

If all donations are going to the SNP and not to an indyref fund why even ask the question.

None of this stacks up.

BREAKING

ScotGov found in contempt of FOI request

The Court of Session has issued a ruling which finds that the Scottish Ministers' failure to comply with the compliance timescale set out in a December FOI Decision amounted to a contempt of court.

The Decision - Decision 281/2025 - concerned a request for communications and information relating to the James Hamilton Report and published legal advice. In the Decision, the Commissioner found that the Scottish Government had not been entitled to withhold some of the requested information, and required disclosure. Compliance with the Decision was required by 15 January 2026.

Following a failure to comply, the Commissioner issued a warning letter on 16 January, requiring that the Scottish Government comply by 22 January or the matter would be referred to the Court of Session. When this deadline was not complied with, the Commissioner referred the matter to the Court.

Commenting on the case, Scottish Information Commissioner David Hamilton said:

“I welcome today’s ruling from the Court of Session that the Scottish Ministers’ failure to comply with the timescales set out in my FOI decision amounted to a contempt of court.

"This was the first time in more than 20 years of FOI that a Commissioner has had to refer non-compliance  with one of their decisions to the court. It was not a step taken lightly, and was all the more disappointing given that Scottish Ministers have a role in making the law and an assumed respect for the rule of law.

“Failing to comply with my decisions undermines the fundamental principles of FOI and damages the information rights of individuals. I trust that the Scottish Ministers will now  reflect carefully on this ruling and review their broader legal approach to certain aspects of FOI compliance - and particularly those relating to the Hamilton Inquiry.

“If Scotland’s FOI rights are to remain robust, effective and valued, the timescales for both the provision of information and compliance with my rulings must be respected by every public authority.

“People make FOI requests when the information they seek is important to them; inappropriate delay is a direct denial of their rights. We must work to ensure that this does not happen again.”

Israel is explicitly warning Christian residents in southern Lebanon not to welcome Muslim residents among them, threatening to bomb Christian neighborhoods.

Israel is now searching for Muslims hiding in the attics of Christians. It’s not 1944. Read that again.

The goal isn't military. It's destabilizing social stability in Lebanon.

The problem often isn’t the policeman or woman or the fireman or firewoman, it is the activist unions! Stop paying these unions to not represent you. Even nurses unions aren’t speaking for their female nurses who very much want sex based changing rooms & safeguarding in place.

Peter Murrell was not a criminal mastermind he just took advantage of a system devoid of adequate checks & balances and a culture where scrutiny and questioning were demonised. That culture has infected the Scottish government, our Parliament & our civic life. It needs to change.

[Joanna Cherry KC @joannaccherry]

As we wait to hear the full details of Peter Murrell’s crimes, if you want to understand more about the culture of secrecy & bullying that allowed such corruption to flourish in Sturgeon’s SNP you can read all about it in my book - Keeping the Dream Alive https://t.co/R1mYhe24ki

@GMB Could you inform Ed Balls that failure to provide single-sex facilities in this context would result in discrimination and is unlikely to be lawful.

If you stand for election in Scotland, it might be helpful to swot up on the constitutional settlement. The Equality Act is reserved.

He's elected to legislate on Scottish matters, not grandstand. He also has a duty to uphold the law not encourage constituents to break it.

White phosphorus ignites instantly on contact with oxygen. It burns at over 800°C. It melts through clothing, skin, muscle — and bone.

In the bloodstream, it becomes a systemic poison. It attacks the heart, liver, and kidneys leading to multi‑organ failure and death.

Monsters.
