Primark unveils new mannequins to represent wheelchair users
The retailer has unveiled its first seated mannequin designed to represent a manual wheelchair user. Named 'Sophie', the mannequin was inspired by and co-created with British TV presenter, disability advocate and wheelchair user, Sophie Morgan. It will initially launch in 22 flagship stores across nine countries, including UK stores like Oxford Street East, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and Leeds. A post shared by Primark (@primark) 'Sophie' will take centre stage in displays showcasing Primark's Adaptive range, which is a fashion collection designed specifically for those with disabilities, alongside its main fashion ranges. Ann-Marie Cregan, trading director at Primark, said: 'This is another important milestone in our ambition to make Primark a more accessible place to shop and work.

CAS sets date for Crystal Palace verdict over Europa League demotion
The Eagles were demoted from the Europa League to the Conference League by European football's governing body UEFA on July 11 after it determined that as of March 1, American businessman John Textor had control or influence at Palace and French club Lyon. Palace appealed against the decision to the CAS, and the court confirmed on Wednesday that a hearing would take place on August 8, followed by a verdict on August 11. That is the day after Palace, as FA Cup holders, face Premier League champions Liverpool in the Community Shield. UEFA rules state where one or more clubs are deemed to have common ownership, they cannot play in the same competition. Lyon edged out Palace for the sole Europa League place because they finished higher than Palace in the league. Nottingham Forest have taken Palace's Europa League place. Palace are seeking to take either Lyon's or Forest's place in the second-tier competition in their appeal. Textor has now sold his stake in Palace, with the purchase of his shares by New York Jets owner Woody Johnson completed last week.

Trump acts like a tinpot Caesar demanding tribute from his vassals
His recent sojourn to Turnberry, that gilded monument to his vulgarity, was not a diplomatic mission but a thuggish display of extortion, a brazen shakedown of Europe's ruling elites by a man whose grasp of statecraft is as profound as his understanding of basic syntax. Trump, that oafish imbecile, that blustering buffoon, conducts himself not as a statesman but as a swaggering mob boss, squeezing concessions from his subordinates with all the subtlety of a knee-capping enforcer. His meeting with Ursula von der Leyen was less a negotiation than a ritual humiliation, as the European Commission president prostrated herself before the whims of an American imperialist regime that views trade not as mutual exchange but as plunder. READ MORE: Scottish Labour councillor suspended for 'bullying' member of the public The resulting 'deal' is a grotesque farce – Europe, trembling before its mercantile overlord, agrees to higher tariffs, coerced purchases of US goods, and the funnelling of billions into the maw of the American war machine. This is not diplomacy; it is tribute exacted by a gangster. And what of Keir Starmer, that eager supplicant, scurrying to Turnberry to kiss the ring of his transatlantic patron? His obsequiousness was met with the usual Trumpian blend of ignorance and malice – vague platitudes on Ukraine, half-brained mutterings on Gaza, and the usual litany of lies about stolen aid and imaginary victories. Starmer, ever the loyal vassal, could do little but nod along, his own political fortunes tethered to the whims of a man who views international relations as a protection racket. But let us not mistake this for mere farce. The stakes are dire. The European bourgeoisie, though seething at their subjugation, dare not defy their American paymasters, for fear of provoking an all-out trade war – or worse, losing the military backing that sustains their own imperialist ventures in Ukraine. They are trapped in a spiral of their own making, forced to bankroll US arms shipments, to prop up Nato's blood-soaked adventures, all while their own workers face the coming storm of economic devastation. History teaches us that empires built on extortion do not endure. The Roman tax farmers, the Habsburg enforcers, the British East India Company – all eventually crumbled beneath the weight of their own rapacity. Trump's gangster diplomacy is no different. It will end the same way. Alan Hinnrichs Dundee ON Monday, we were informed on BBC Scotland that a celebration had taken place in respect of the 70th anniversary of the opening of the Dounreay nuclear power plant. In attendance was a chap calling himself King Charles and a non-Scottish manager of the site who made me feel squeamish as I listened to his sycophantic fawning over the said King's attendance. Can I just clarify the background to this development back in 1955? The idea of developing nuclear energy at that time was filled with the possibility of a major disaster happening. The year, 1955, was just a decade after the horrific Hiroshima and Nagasaki tragedies. Nuclear weapons and power production were issues of dread for the general population. So, if this development was going to happen, where should it go? Obviously, Westminster decided that it should be located as far away from London as possible. Look at your map and you will see that Dounreay is as far from London as you can get without ending up in the Pentland Firth. The residents of Thurso and Wick would be obliterated if anything untoward happened, but they were expendable. In fact, probably most of Scotland would end up the same way. I was a wee boy in a small rural Highland primary school back in the mid-50s. I well remember the gift we were all given at that school. It was a glossy magazine with the front cover showing the impressive Dounreay dome. It was designed at deflecting attention from the dangers and promoting the idea that we were at the cutting edge of technology. I believe all schoolkids up here would have been given a copy too, so that our minds would be shaped to accept this thing that terrified those down south. A few jobs were created for workers at Dounreay but that was insignificant compared to the perceived dangers. Along with the nonsensical Protect And Survive booklet that was distributed at that time regarding saving yourself in the event of a nuclear attack, this magazine that we children received was just government propaganda to influence, lie to and control the population. Officials must have been laughing to themselves as they prepared them. Today, they still use the same methods and our voters are still inclined to believe them. Without truth, what hope is there for Scotland or even society at large? Alasdair Forbes Farr, Inverness-shire THE statement by Keir Starmer that the UK would move to recognise a Palestinian state, if Israel did not agree to a ceasefire and take steps to end the war, is more than a little contradictory given previous statements. The statement noted that Palestinian statehood is the 'inalienable right of the Palestinian people' and the UK Government is committed to delivering a two-state solution, with a 'safe and secure Israel alongside a viable and sovereign Palestinian state'. It therefore seems rather odd that, despite a previous commitment to recognising a Palestinian state, this should now come with conditions attached. Alex Orr Edinburgh
