Scotland 4, Denmark 2. In Scotland we clearly refuse Danish model of asylum! #ScotlandvsDenmark

Utterly unbelievable 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Of all the despicable things Trump has ever said this might actually be the worst.

Did you catch our new CEO, Justina Murray, on @stv.news yesterday? Watch the full interview and hear how you can help children trapped in poverty this winter.  📺https://news.stv.tv/v/families-are-falling-deeper-into-poverty-childrens-charity-warns #PovertyRelief #Aberlour150

Asking lawyers out there - does the return of child detention mean Labour Government have unsigned Convention on Rights of Child? And what about Scotland where it was signed by Scottish Parliament @aileenmcharg.bsky.social thoughts?

We fully support @scotrefugeecouncil.bsky.social position that we need a humane, effective and efficient system that could work for communities across the UK and those seeking protection. Compassion and dignity for every person must remain at the heart of our asylum system 💙

👋🏽 Today is a good day for this reminder👇🏽 “We need leaders not in love with money, but in love with justice. Not in love with publicity, but in love with humanity.” #MartinLutherKingJr, St Louis, 10 April 1957 Read his speech in full 👉🏽 bit.ly/3LHU3bA

People in Scotland want an asylum system that is controlled, that they have confidence in, and that shows compassion. The Home Secretary’s proposals do none of these things. We need a humane, effective and efficient system 🧡 Read our full response: scottishrefugeecouncil.org.uk/asylum-immig...

Six weeks since the PM said Britain faced a choice between decency or division and our bad, obviously, for not understanding that he was in fact Team Division

It’s not right children are growing up in poverty. Find out tomorrow how you can help 👀 #PovertyRelief #Aberlour150

Good to be able to meet with @cosla.gov.uk Heath & Social Care Spokesperson, Paul Kelly, to discuss our working supporting families in recovery and helping to keep families together #KeepThePromise #Cosla25

We’re at #Cosla25 conference to meet and discuss with local authorities and local councillors our work to tackle child poverty and support families across Scotland. If you are here too come by to say hello. 👋

We're proud to sign this letter and continue to support calls to scrap the 2-child limit. It's the first and most direct way we can begin to reduce child poverty. We urge Keir Starmer to do the right thing. #EndChildPoverty @cpaguk.bsky.social

It's #NSMW25 in England and we're highlighting our research into School Meal Debt in England. Our research indicates that 1 in 4 children in England not in receipt of Free School Meals have school meal debt. No child should be burdened with debt or denied a school meal due to financial hardship.

The big problem with the “serious people should be left to do serious politics” thing is that the serious people doing serious politics have repeatedly fucked up for the past 40 years

We’re delighted to have 32 organisations join our call for all political parties to commit to keeping the promise through the duration of the next Scottish parliament. Read the joint letter & our pre-election paper which sets out the specific actions needed: ow.ly/NyKb50XpSqS

Survivors of domestic abuse shouldn’t be chased for council tax debts caused by the person they had to escape. Citizens Advice Scotland highlighted this injustice and we have called for change so survivors can rebuild without fear of financial fallout. 👇

The right thing to do and credit to her if she does. No it’s, no buts. Scrap this poverty creating policy once and for all.

Cutting welfare affects significant numbers of working age adults, causing economic hardship and driving up poverty. Rachel Reeves ‘fiscal discipline’ will be little more than austerity 2.0 if she targets spending cuts at the welfare budget. This will be a disaster for the economy.

The bond market is wrong. Reeves should not cut welfare to placate the City | Richard Partington

We welcome The Poverty & Inequality Commissions latest report to Scot Gov. We support their recommendations including increasing the Scottish Child Payment & greater clarity on the definition of whole family support & how it can help reduce child poverty. 👇 povertyinequality.scot/publication/...

Academy Award winner Tilda Swinton doesn’t even get a look in.

The 2 child limit must go. No ifs, no buts. It’s time to scrap it entirely. End of.

We’re being overwhelmed by AI that none of us asked for but that’s being pushed on us seemingly in every aspect of our lives. We need to push back. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Scotland chooses debt justice First Minister of Scotland, John Swinney, has announced Scotland’s support for the Cancel Debt Choose Hope campaign "I raise Scotland's voice in support of finding a fair long-term solution to the global debt crisis." @scotgov | @ScotGovFM

Over the summer, young people who live with us and our team walked 150 miles from Kirkcaldy to our founding village in Aberlour. The walk took over a month! Congratulations to everyone who took part, what a wonderful way to mark 150 years of Aberlour! #CEW25 #CareExperiencedWeek #Aberlour150

The problem with a ‘strategy’ that is basically “let’s do the minimum we need to be better than rangers” is that other teams are also better than rangers.
