This is a seismic victory for Dorothy and for all victims of AI deepfakes deployed by far-right agitators.
Tech platforms like Meta must be held legally accountable for failing to prevent abusive content and for denying urgent redress to survivors.

Workers are rightly worried about local services given the cuts proposed from the Scottish Government.
A fairer Council Tax system ensures we raise the revenue needed to support the public services we all rely on.

The 10% Gender Pay Gap in Scotland is a complete failure of the state.
Governments and employers need to seriously buck their ideas up if we are to eliminate the gap.

We cannot allow Scotland’s transition to renewable energy to become another chapter in the sorry story that shows corporations getting richer whilst workers get scraps from the table.
