The BBC reports that it would cost the average football fan £7.5k to make the trip to the World Cup.
Scotland’s fans deserve better than being priced out of the tournament they’ve waited 28 years to see.

It is simply not the case that 250 people pay 60% of all the income tax in Scotland @SirTomHunter.
This is a false claim that should be corrected. Here’s why 🧵

“We can get 250 people in a room at Gleneagles who are paying 60% of all the income tax in Scotland, and then we've got Ross Greer saying, “tax the rich””
On Sunday’s episode of The Go Radio Business Show, Sir Tom Hunter and Lord Willie Haughey reacted to the Sunday Times Rich List, wealth creators leaving Britain, and why they believe Scotland needs more entrepreneurs, not fewer.

Trump's gangster imperialism can't be ignored.
We must prioritise sovereignty - not the 'special relationship'.

These images wouldn’t be acceptable if they mocked the racialised features of any other group and need to be called out as antisemitic.
Sharing, without comment, British newspapers’ depictions of the only Jewish person currently leading a UK political party .

Reform can’t cosplay as saviours of the working class whilst pledging to strip workers’ rights and cutting taxes for the rich.
We’ll protect workers – they’ll protect the profiteers. #STUC26

Why should workers continue to line the pockets of energy giants and multinationals.
It's time politicians took control and gave us real energy security. That means taking national stakes in our industry.

God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.

They're demanding fairness. They're demanding dignity. They're demanding a fair future for all social carers throughout the country.

These are total figures, but maybe we’re still seeing an exodus of high earners?
Not true: in every year since divergence, more additional / top rate taxpayers have moved to Scotland than have left.

NEW: We often hear that Scotland’s more progressive income tax is “driving people out the country.”
New HMRC data shows the opposite. Far more taxpayers are moving to Scotland than leaving it.
Let’s look at the data 🧵
