Sunak airbrushed from launch of Scottish Tories’ general election campaign

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2024/may/28/tories-triple-lock-plus-planned-tax-cut-pensioners-labour-rishi-sunak-general-election

Reject Tory bid for 'loopholes' in protest buffer zone bill, MSPs told

https://www.thenational.scot/news/24348578.reject-tory-bid-loopholes-protest-buffer-zone-bill-msps-told/

The bill, which passed its stage one vote by an overwhelming majority, will create 200-metre safe access zones, or “buffer zones”, to stop anti-choice campaign groups from protesting outside abortion service providers.

The Tories love loopholes - financial, hunting, taxes….
