To everyone who received their exam results today, well done! You have done Scotland proud. Your hard work has paid off and we’ve seen a fantastic set of results. I hope you all get the chance to celebrate today.

It's not just Elon Musk. Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett, and every multibillionaire built their fortunes the same way: by NOT paying taxes as their wealth grew. Without endless tax deferrals, they'd have a tiny fraction of what they own today. It's time they pay their fair share.

Chaos for Reform in the last 24 hours: Nigel Farage’s military Channel plan faces legal backlash Tice is under investigation Farage’s comeback story keeps shifting. Unity talks with Restore are collapsing into public infighting. Yet some people think they are the answer to Britain’s problems?

Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.

Scotland’s exam results are up across the board! Scotland’s young people are achieving vocational and academic excellence.

Record-breaking results day

Pass rates up at all exam levels (tick)

Attainment gap narrowing again (tick)

Record number of vocational and technical awards (tick)

This is an excellent proposal I don't necessarily agree with all of it but in the main it opens up the Gov to transparency and accountability It's also important that political donations and lobbying rules are tightened PR is an improvement A lot depends on the model that's chosen

I can't believe, in the middle of another heatwave, the Government is seriously considering letting a new gas field go ahead. Ed Miliband must block this plan. Agree? Join me and add your name to this new petition against the Jackdaw gas field: 38d.gs/fhc5

Direct, full-time jobs opening Rosebank oilfield would create: 450 D, f-t jobs opening Jackdaw gasfield would create: 27 D, f-t jobs in UK's net-zero economy: 300,000 + 400,000 more on the way D, f-t jobs in the rest of the green economy: 600,000 Is that really the hill Burnham wants to die on?
