Lots of pre-emptive opinions being aired about Kate Forbes for FM and her faith as a factor in that. I don't know Kate personally and don't know if she will stand. But as a political theologian and a Kirk minister I am interested in the issues being raised. /1

The government has just published new data on the cost of UK tax reliefs, which is the money given away by the government because some things are not taxable or because costs can be offset against income. Tax reliefs on savings are going to cost £59 billion this year. A thread...

The decimation of funding for youth work has brought devastation to the lives of countless young people in the UK. The rise of youth crime, depression, self-harm & even suicide are just some of the outcomes of this shortsighted policy. Reversing it will save both lives & money.

The 2023 Public Engagement Project of the Year award was won by the Home Fae Home project, led by Linsey McIntosh and Gary Kennedy, both from @DJCAD. The project saw them work with the @HotChocoTrust charity to reimagine spaces for young people with experience of trauma.
