Everything I know about Scotland’s widely-welcomed culture budget - which includes new investment in festivals across Scotland & the screen industry - and the current funding gap facing Creative Scotland ahead of its crunch decisions in January.

FST is pleased that @ScotGov has committed to increase the culture budget by £34m next year, with almost £54m for @CreativeScots Multi-Year Funding. This is better than expected, and we hope it is a positive sign for the future of the sector.

I made my BBC documentary Better Off Dead? to explain why me & many other disabled people oppose legalising assisted suicide.
Some of us have very real fears based on our lived experience & based on what has happened in other countries where it's legal.

Garry Robson
March 3, 1952–July 26, 2024
Garry Robson, who has died aged 72, was a force of nature. This was the case whether as actor, playwright or director, all of which he excelled in with an energy, humour and heart that drove everything he did.

There is no reason any country or business is still trading with Israel. None. There is nothing Israel provides that cannot be replaced, and the inconvenience of doing so is insignificant compared to the inhumanity of supporting Israel’s crimes in any way. BDS is how we win.

Proud to support @EquityUK outside the @ScotParl with @NeilBibby @FoysolChoudhury today against cuts to arts funding.
