In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans

U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

Proud to launch this new report today, which puts the voices of people still waiting for a social home at the heart of the debate. As the Scottish Budget is finalised, we need to see safe, warm, affordable rented homes as an absolutely top priority.

Really pleased to see this report from Altair Ltd published by @sfha.bsky.social and Wheatley Group. Very grateful to those who shared their experiences with me - hope the research makes a difference to investment in social housing in Scotland so that everyone who needs a home can have one.

Councils spend £1.6bn a year on 'temporary accommodation' for homeless families - which includes some of the worst housing conditions in the country. But who is getting the money? A joint investigation between me, Vicky Spratt and @sdelahunty.bsky.social tried to provide an answer...

Seeing inside one of Albyn's Fit Homes has been on my wishlist for so long. Today, Chris, a tenant of one of these houses, along with his German Shepherd, Willow, made it happen and welcomed us into his house to chat about how much he loves his home.

Chris sits in his wheelchair on a paved section just outside his patio door in the background. Emma sits next to him on a garden bench, petting a young, black German Shepherd, who is looking towards the camera inquisitively with her head cocked to the side and ears up attentively. Both are grinning and look happy.
