💙 We need your help to show Scotland’s leaders why they must value and invest in #care.
A National Outcome can help us do right by people experiencing care, unpaid carers and those working across social care and childcare.

📢Help us show that #ScotlandCares
Care has been undervalued and underfunded for too long.
Those who rely on or provide care are paying the price.
We’re asking @scotgov for a new National Outcome on #care. 🧵

Anyone have LCD Soundsystem tickets for the Barras on Sunday 30 June or Monday 1 July they want to swap for the Tuesday night? I've made a critical scheduling error...
"At this stage, five months in, we're still arguing about whether people should or should not be killed in Palestine. It's appalling and shocking."
- Our colleague Bushra speaking to @BBCGaryR on #GMS this morning ahead of a key Westminster vote calling for a #CeasefireNOW
Rafah could become the deadliest and most destructive chapter of this conflict yet.
1.3 million people are sheltering here. 610,000 are children.
It is one of the last areas in Gaza where hospitals, water and sanitation facilities, and bakeries are still partially functioning. It's also the base for the majority of humanitarian organisations. (1/2)
“women” instead of “girls”
“people” instead of “children”
“dead” instead of “killed”
“conflict” instead of “genocide”
“hamas” instead of “palestine”
media is doing everything in their power to downplay what israel is doing to palestine
PRESS RELEASE: Israel's military is killing #Palestinians at an average rate of 250 people a day, which massively exceeds the daily death toll of any other major conflict of recent years.

BREAKING: Over 90% of the population in the #Gaza are now suffering extreme hunger‼️
The entire population of Gaza - 2.3m people - face extreme hunger and the risk of famine is increasing each day without a ceasefire. Virtually all households are skipping meals every day.
“While the UK abstains and dithers at the UN Security Council, people in Gaza are starving. Those within the international community who have refused to rein in Israel’s military machine and its collective punishment of Palestinians in Gaza today stand shamed and complicit – this scandal is on your watch.” Aleema Shivji, Oxfam’s acting Chief Executive.
Analysis from the Integrated Food Security and Nutrition Phase Classification @theIPCinfo Report.
This report provides a catastrophic snapshot of food insecurity right now in Gaza and speaks to the urgent need for a #CeasefireNOW to allow enough humanitarian access.

As we say on the front page of @heraldscotland - it beggars belief that @RishiSunak is rowing back on key climate commitments, just at the point when we should be speeding up, not slowing down climate action.
The #ClimateCrisis can't be wished away.
If you know any teenage girls and young women in Glasgow then let them know about filling in this survey on street harassment in the city - the results will be used to shape women's safety initiatives.

🧵 Today we can reveal the shocking news that 1 in 6 people in Scotland face hunger due to a lack of money.
Despite living in one of the wealthiest countries in the world, 1.2 million people in Scotland are going hungry.
This isn't right. No one in Scotland should face hunger.
So many shocking figures in @TrussellScot report, but one jumped out...
28% of unpaid #carers face food insecurity... DOUBLE the level of non-carers.
Little wonder: for too many people, looking after someone results in #poverty.

It's so easy to forget in the UK that abortion is only tolerated under law rather than treated as a medical right: we need a legislation change. https://t.co/B6cuXRRlrt
Today, a mother-of-three has been jailed for 28 months after using abortion pills to end her own pregnancy.
No woman can ever go through this again.
We need abortion law reform in Great Britain NOW.

G7 leaders will be heading to Japan for Friday’s summit. But they’ve forgotten something…
At the last G7 summit, they made big promises on #Famine prevention. Now, with crisis hitting #EastAfrica, their silence is deafening.
See no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil means… /1
