Laura Davison, NUJ general secretary, said: "We urge the Conservative Party to explain why Byline Times journalists have been denied accreditation and to rethink its decision. Once again, the union calls on all political parties to uphold press freedom, freedom of expression and the public's right to be informed."

Images from last night's moon shoot with 2 incredibly talented Ayrshire highland dancers Lottie Wills & Samantha Agnew
We hoped to have done this shoot during the full moon in May, but cloud cover spoilt any chance of attempting a shoot during May, June, July & August's full moon

“Continued cuts undermine Reach's pivot to digital subscriptions and focus on original reporting. A sustainable business model relies on quality journalism. And quality journalism relies on skilled journalists.”

Reach is planning to cut about 220 editorial jobs and create 60 new roles as it shifts focus away from page views
This will result in a net loss of around 160 jobs
The changes also include the closure of three websites: Kent Live, Aberdeen Live and Galway Beo

🚨Warning: 83% increase in appeals in one year - and tracking even higher this year. Delighted that people are using their info rights but this level of demand on my office is unsustainable without additional resourcing.
In our latest Annual Report, published today, Scottish Information Commissioner David Hamilton warns of a risk to the effective enforcement of FOI in Scotland following a significant rise in appeals over the last year.

ALT "An unprecedented 83% rise in appeals is putting an unsustainable strain on my small team..."
The words "half cut" spring to mind.
Absolute car crash.

Scotland have been embarrassingly poor in this World Cup. Not even sure that I want to see us sneak into the next stage through the back door (1)
Incredible that Labour MP Polly Billington has never heard of legendary trade unionist Jimmy Reid.

Robert Peston reckons Britain's endless parade of prime ministers has left him with "mild PTSD".
But that's the kind of flippant use of the term PTSD that trauma survivors loathe.

The Patriots send their condolences to all those who knew and loved Donny Strathie.
We’ve learnt some bad news that Donny Strathie passed away in Boston on Sunday. He had a ticket for the Morocco game, but never got the chance to realize his World Cup dream.
It would mean a lot to his family if we could organise a minutes applause in the 76th minute of the Morocco game.
