What a waste of police and court time to be arresting peaceful protesters given the high court ruled the proscription of Palestine Action to be unlawful. Yet the police had sensibly stopped making such arrests so who ordered them to resume?

This is stunning!!! #Artemis2

So arrested for causing traffic congestion while American fighter jets fly out to engage in an illegal war in Iran. So which is the greater offence, peaceful protestors delaying traffic or fighter pilots killing Iranians?

It's a year since we published our findings from Latnija Cave where we discovered evidence for a previously unknown hunter-gatherer phase of Maltese prehistory, showing that people were reaching small and remote islands earlier than known. Much more to come :)

#pars manager Neil Lennon has spoken about the balancing act of squad rotation ahead of Saturday’s clash away to Partick Thistle, with the Pars sitting fourth in the table. Despite the stretched numbers, the manager is encouraged by the form of players who have stepped up when called upon.

We were pleased to be part of tonight’s #NatFoodDebate Hustings with our partners in the Scottish Food Coalition. Encouraging consensus from all panellists about the need for further action to end hunger in Scotland in the next Holyrood session.

Enjoyed the BBC 2 series on #pilgrimage that led to Lindisfarne. Once again it showed that the conversations between the group members on the way were as valuable as reaching the destination although in the case of Lindisfarne, walking across the mud when the tide was out, was a demanding final act.

Comfortable 3-0 win for the #pars at a struggling Ayr United last night virtually guarantees our play off place. Opportunity for the manager to rest players who have picked up knocks to have them fresh for the all important Scottish Cup semi final at Hampden against Falkirk.

The other week folk living a couple of streets away were celebrating winning some £52k on the postcode lottery. However, the lottery also donates to local charities and Dunfermline Foodbank was delighted to learn that we are to receive £50k which makes a huge difference to our finances.

Saturday’s win extended #pars unbeaten run to seven games and, with the club sitting fourth in the Championship, attention now turns to a testing run of six league fixtures in the next 24 days, beginning with Tuesday night’s trip to Somerset Park to face Ayr United.

Today is a good day for children! 450,000 will be lifted out of poverty thanks to the end of the two-child limit. This includes tens of thousands of children in Scotland.

We've seen a lot of divisive language and misinformation about people seeking safety lately. This is the reality of claiming asylum and being a refugee in Scotland 👇

Pope Leo at Easter: “We are growing accustomed to violence, resigning ourselves to it, and becoming indifferent, indifferent to the deaths of thousands of people. Let those who have weapons lay them down. Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Looking forward to the latest of the series of pilgrimage on bbc2 this evening. Always welcome the better understanding this creates of other faiths. Also delighted that lindisfarne is chosen with its history of Celtic Christianity and how this differed.

More than 350 Palestinian children remain imprisoned by Israel on Children’s Day. Palestinian rights groups say children face systematic violations, including violent arrests, isolation and detention without charge. #Infograph

Enjoyed my day in hospitality with my sons and son in law as the #pars came back from 1-0 down at half time to win comfortably 3-1. And now got a seven point gap over the chasing teams for the final promotion play off place.

Not all progress is loud. Sometimes it looks like this… baby otters playing safely in our green spaces (although these pups certainly aren’t quiet!)

The Passion of Jesus returned to Trafalgar Square on Good Friday - an epic retelling of Christ’s journey to the cross with a cast of more than 100 actors and volunteers. Londoners and visitors gathered in the heart of the city to witness this powerful reenactment for Holy Week.

Ich wünsche meinen christlichen Freundinnen und Freunden einen gesegneten und friedvollen Karfreitag. Und für alle anderen: Genießt - wenn möglich - den freien Tag. (Archivbild: Blick aus der römisch-katholischen Kirche „Dominus flevit“ (lat. „Der Herr weinte“) auf dem Ölberg in Jerusalem.)

After the international break the #pars play Morton tomorrow hopefully before storm Dave hits with high winds. Celebrating my son's 40th birthday means that both my sons, son-in-law and I will be enjoying the match with hospitality. Three points against a tough Morton side would be welcome.

Garden ready for spring

A huge thanks to everyone who attended our national hustings last night with @citizensadvicescot.bsky.social No doubt that the consensus in the room was that poverty is a political choice. We need more ambition. The next Scottish Govt must work with us to end the need for food banks forever.

'I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.’ (John 13:34) Today is Holy Thursday. This special moment is a reminder of when Jesus washed the feet of his disciples. He chose to serve others.
