"We need to listen to our young people. They’re not at it when they say they’re having a tough time, and the Fonagy review backs this up.
"They’re growing up in a different age, with different effects on their wellbeing than we had. We need to stop judging them based on what we remember – or think we remember – about being young, start taking them seriously, and get them the help they need, when they need it.
"Apart from anything else, if their world is different than ours, that’s not because of their generation – it’s because of ours." 👇

'The ferry network has consistently let down islanders and businesses for a very long time now and this is something that ministers have direct control over' 👇
'Would they have embraced him or disowned him and then cancelled him — as they’ve done with so many others — because of some imagined impurity of speech or shared a platform with someone they considered improper?' 👇
"It is astonishing that nobody is taking responsibility for this fiasco. Why has Hayley Valentine, BBC Scotland director, not been fired? Her annual salary at almost £200,000 - more than the First Minister - is safe.
"Valentine was once executive editor of Question Time - the BBC’s most debased programme, a symbol of all that’s wrong with the broadcaster. So you get an idea where her talents lie.
"The BBC Scotland channel has cost taxpayers around £200million since it was launched. Sometimes, it aired shows that literally nobody watched. Zero viewers. What a cosmic joke.
"There was never any real commitment to making the channel work, there was never any thought put into programming. No care, no love, no attention.
"BBC bosses were peasants in a palace. They had the chance to do something great, and blew it.
"No wonder many see it as an act of deliberate self-sabotage." 👇

Maryna Zhuravlova has an idea for a tartan of tartans, if you will.
The accomplished textile designer and tailor had her own studio in Kharkiv for 20 years.
Then Russia invaded Ukraine, upending the lives of millions and changing her life forever.
Ms Zhuravlova relocated to the UK, first to Devon, and eventually to Edinburgh, where she found a new passion, the traditional Scottish art of kiltmaking.
