This afternoon we noticed some unusual e-mail activity on our schools and early years IT network. As a precautionary measure we have reset passwords across our schools and early years network - including those of our learners and students: edinburgh.gov.uk/news/article/1…

Very sorry to hear of the passing of Sir Tom Farmer. As well as being a very successful businessman, & his significant involvement with Hibernian Football Club, as a prominent philanthropist he humbly supported so many good causes & organisation across North Eastern Edinburgh & Leith. RIP💚

MSPs will vote on the Assisted Dying Bill at stage 1 this week. If it doesn't pass - it falls. Today's column, aiming to explain key features of the law as it now stands, what the new Bill proposes, and why voting against the Bill isn't a neutral choice. thenational.scot/politics/25153…

For more than 10 weeks, nothing has entered Gaza – no food, medicine, water or tents. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have, again, been forcibly displaced & confined into ever-shrinking spaces." – Tom Fletcher on humanitarian crisis in Gaza. unocha.org/news/un-relief…

The suffering in Gaza is intolerable. The attacks by Israel must stop and humanitarian aid must flow immediately. There must be resolute international pressure on Israel to halt its current stance. Humanity must prevail.
