Scots living in the most deprived parts of the country are five times more likely to die from alcohol abuse than those staying in the richest, new NRS figures show.
The overall number of deaths from alcohol dropped by three per cent last year.

“Despite escalating violence, our delegation remained determined to cross to Palestine to participate in the olive harvest. Every refusal of entry will only strengthen this determination,” said @progintl’s Laila Hazaineh.

Why were Flávio Bolsonaro’s supporters told to put away their US 🇺🇸 and Israeli 🇮🇱 flags?

Governments can watch as the sector continues to shed jobs - even with new licences - while oil and gas companies work to maximise profits. Or they can choose to provide a meaningful roadmap for workers and communities; one that delivers a genuinely sustainable future.

A few thoughts on the announcement that the Jackdaw gas field development will go ahead 🧵
You'll hear claims today arguing we need Jackdaw for various reasons. Primarily some combination of energy security, perhaps cheaper bills and jobs. We should be sceptical of them.

OPEN LETTER: Sally Rooney is a writer, not a terrorist. Her books must be available to the public. Their withdrawal from sale, on the basis of ill-conceived and draconian anti terror legislation, is an affront to basic principles of free speech and expression so long taken for granted in this country. We categorically reject censorship - whether direct or indirect - and urge the government to change course, amending the legislation which has led us to this point of repressive absurdity.

A clip from my interview with @KhemRogaly on the new report he's coauthored for @TransitionSec, 'Posturing to the World: The Costs of Britain’s Global Military and Expansive Strategy'.
The doubling of Britain's military budget is partly justified in terms of the public having enjoyed a post-Cold War "peace dividend". The reality is that when the increase was announced the budget was already higher in real terms than it was in the 1980s. - @KhemRogaly

We need an ANTI-FASCIST ECONOMICS which puts a floor under people's livelihoods and a ceiling on the extreme concentration of power and wealth.

BREAKING 🇧🇷 In a historic victory for workers, Lula’s government has now established the 5-day working week in Brazil, giving employees two days off per week without cutting their salary.

And people say the anti-war movement in Britain hasn’t been successful…
This is good news, and something to build on in the coming period.
Half of Britons say there are no circumstances in which they would go to war for their country, a poll has found.
Just 36 per cent said there were circumstances in which they would fight. Read our analysis to understand what these numbers suggest ⬇️
