I have received the first official estimate of the cost to Scotland's pensioners of the Prime Minister's attack on the triple lock.
It will take up to £4bn from Scotland's pensioners. And the Prime Minister plans to use it to pay for social care in England.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The £4bn is a Scottish Government projection for lower state pension payments in Scotland by 2049-50 vs the current triple lock. The state pension is UK-wide. Increased English social care spending would bring additional Barnett formula funding to Scotland. gov.scot/publications/d… heraldscotland.com/news/26595468.… instituteforgovernment.org.uk/article/explai…

This drug has been available in Scotland for over three years , yet there's been zero calls in Westminster for Why aren't England following Scotlands lead" . We all know if it had been the other way around the press would have hounded FM Swinney for action

I must admit it sticks in the craw a bit, every time, seeing this guy virtue signalling on standing against violence against women and girls.
He snarled ‘Fuck you Maree’ at me when he won an amendment against govt.
He then used that old trope that ‘she provoked me’
Hypocrite?
First it was MY fault that he swore at me.
Then @KevinStewartSNP tainted the consensual debate by mentioning his rank hypocrisy.
Poor old @agcolehamilton - nothing about the misogynistic abusive environment female parliamentarians work in is his fault.

Tory or Labour. Blue or red. Different UK governments, same outcome for Scotland.
The scars of Thatcher’s deindustrialisation are still felt in communities across Scotland. Decades later, successive Westminster governments continue to make decisions that put jobs, industries and workers at risk.
For our communities in the North East and across Scotland, it doesn’t matter what colour Westminster is when the result is the same — lost jobs, weakened industries and communities left behind.

Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.
Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).
A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.
At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at dollyparton.com
In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at imaginationlibrary.com

Dolly Parton was one of the great entertainers of our era. She was not only a talented musician & songwriter, but a lifelong philanthropist and advocate for literacy, education, LGBTQ+ rights, healthcare and disaster relief.
Her music and humanity touched millions. She will be sorely missed.
