“Platitudes and warm words don’t put food on the table” well done to every local government worker on strike to day, time for @COSLA & @HumzaYousaf to get round the table and settle this dispute 👏👏👏👏

FGS - these are medics taking their skills to the most dangerous, disadvantaged places in the world. When will the West do something instead of standing by in the face of endless atrocities……justifying them!

[The Ferret @FerretScot]

FACT CHECK:

SNP MP Mhairi Black appeared on BBC Question Time last Thursday, and claimed Scotland had "no borrowing powers whatsoever". ⚖️

This is False ❌

Looking forward to hearing how ‘public’ the sleeper is when Scottish Rail Holdings actually properly respond to an FOI asking about what private companies are contacted by the Government and still profiting from the various parts of the sleepers’ operations

I hear the National Care Service bill’s being put on hold until after the SNP leadership contest

It was supposed to be debated and voted on for first time this month but is being put back till June

Unless of course Nicola Sturgeon’s successor decides to drop it…

[UNISON Scotland Labour Link @UNISONLabourSco]

Eleanor Haggett our Labour Link chair speaking to our composite calling on @ScottishLabour to campaign for a National Care Service worthy of the name. The @scotgov Bill is not fit for purpose as it doesn’t kick profit out of care. @unisonncswatch

[The Common Weal @Common_Weal]

‼️ Today we join @ScottishTUC in calling for the National Care Service Bill, in its present guise, to be paused.

The NCS must be founded in the interest of carers and those receiving care, not private profit.

[STUC @ScottishTUC]

Alongside @Common_Weal, our social care unions and others, we have written to @ScotGovFM sharing our serious concerns on the National Care Service Bill.

The Scottish Government cannot recklessly plough ahead. They must listen to our social care staff and #PauseTheBill.

[healthandcare.scot @hacscot]

All but two members of the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee say the proposed approach in legislation to establish a National Care Service is “unacceptable” and that the Bill should not progress in its current form
