The King's ridiculous land acknowledgement
The King was charming, looking a little the worse for wear, perhaps. He graciously laughed at Mrs M's joke. He's a thoughtful guy. A little odd, which is no bad thing. But he seems to have gone completely doolally on his trip to Canada this week, where he opened Parliament with the most modern of empty gestures.
'I would like to acknowledge that we are gathered on the unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabeg people. This land acknowledgement is a recognition of shared history as a nation,' he declared from the throne.

Investors need certainty to build the homes Scotland needs
We must unlock the investment that would deliver new housing, says Colin Brown Sign up to our daily newsletter – Regular news stories and round-ups from around Scotland direct to your inbox Sign up Thank you for signing up!

In May 2024, the Scottish Parliament declared a national 'housing emergency' with some councils also declaring a housing emergency in their areas. The announcement of the emergency came two months after the Scottish Government laid the Housing (Scotland) Bill before the Scottish Parliament. The Bill continues to work its way through Holyrood and is expected to come into force later this year. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Observers in the world of institutional investment and those working in the sector have been watching the progress of the Bill with interest. Of particular concern to investors are proposals around rent controls. Colin Brown is a Partner at TLT To give one example that has occurred recently – a London-based investment firm, was about to commit many millions of pounds to its first Scottish investment before discovering that a committee considering the Bill had voted to include purpose-built student accommodation as subject to statutory rent controls. All of the financial appraisals the firm had undertaken in making the decision to invest in Scotland were potentially being ripped up by MSPs and they had no power to do anything about this. In this situation, the Scottish Government moved quickly to make clear it would not support rent control for purpose-built student accommodation. Whilst the project is now starting to come out of the ground it remains to be seen whether they consider Scotland a safe haven for future investment. The rental income which institutional investors derive from their investments in bricks and mortar helps to fund many individuals' pensions. The investors need to understand that in exchange for making their money available they will get a return on their investment and this return has generally been left to market forces – the law of supply and demand. The housing emergency should make investment in new build housing in Scotland a win-win. The country gets much-needed new housing to alleviate the emergency, and the investment funds get to deploy their capital to deliver housing and make a return on their investment. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad In the UK in the first quarter of this year £1.2 billion was invested in private rental accommodation with the potential for £6bn to be invested by the end of the year. 76 per cent of this investment is being directed outside London, with Manchester, Birmingham, and Leeds leading the way. Every penny of this investment creates new housing and sustains and creates job opportunities. The fact that Scotland has not been able to open the investment tap when cities in England are seeing private rental accommodation expand, could be seen as a missed opportunity. In launching the latest consultation, the Social Justice Secretary acknowledges that rental properties are a crucial element of the efforts to tackle the housing emergency. Government policy has slowed investment into the sector in recent years and resulted in lower investor confidence in providing much-needed housing. Rent caps and controls are of course not universally despised and a balance must be struck between protecting tenants and unlocking the investment that delivers the new housing. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The latest consultation on exemptions for certain types of properties from rent control closed earlier this month. There will be investors with capital looking for a home waiting to see if the legislative and political environment in Scotland means they should be deploying more of this in Scotland or continuing to explore opportunities which guarantee a better return elsewhere.

Here is my strategy for the SNP securing a second independence referendum
What kind of future do you aspire to for Scotland? What kind of country do you want us to leave behind for our children and our grandchildren? There is a lot of frustration out there at the moment – and believe me, I share it. Since the 2008 financial crash, people feel like they are working harder than ever, but not seeing any improvement in their living standards. Instead, the UK economy is fundamentally failing to deliver for ordinary people - nor is it generating the funding our public services need. People are frustrated because they don't feel like they can influence their future. I want to change that – but I need your help. In the election next May, I want to deliver the real change that Scotland needs. I want us to use that vote as a springboard for Scotland taking charge of our own destiny. In the 2014 referendum, I campaigned for independence because I believed the Westminster system was broken. That has only become clearer in the years since. Think what could have been achieved in Scotland had we not been forced to spend so much time and money trying to mitigate the ongoing damage of Brexit. Or the carnage unleashed by Liz Truss's mini-budget. Or the years of austerity, or Westminster cuts like the Winter Fuel Payment. We were told that we didn't need independence and we just needed a Labour government – but look how that has turned out. That Labour government is hell-bent on balancing the books of the backs of the poor, the disabled and the elderly. Independence is the catalyst that will deliver a better future for us all. It can be a fresh start for all of us – putting us in charge of our own destiny and our immense resources. With Scotland's energy resources in Scotland's hands, we can reduce bills for consumers and cut costs for businesses – helping to attract many new jobs, generate new growth and more funding for public services along the way. Over the next few months, the SNP will set out some radical policies that we know will transform Scotland – ambitious ideas that can be realised with the powers of independence. For us to achieve that independence, the first step is to secure a legal referendum recognised by all. In 2011 we secured that reliable and dependable route when the SNP achieved a majority of seats at Holyrood. That is the only mechanism that has been proven to deliver such a vote - so that is what we need to deliver again. That is why I have submitted a motion to the SNP conference proposing that we work to deliver a majority of SNP MSPs in the Scottish Parliament to secure that referendum on Independence. The SNP has high ambitions for Scotland, and we must be bold to deliver on those ambitions. We must be ready to follow the path which we know can lead us to an independent state. I will set out more detail of my strategy for winning Scotland's in the weeks ahead. Recent polls point to majority support for independence in Scotland - I am absolutely convinced that, if we can galvanise that support and persuade people to come together next May, we can break the logjam and end this frustration that we all feel. Together, let's deliver the real change that Scotland needs. PRESIDENT TRUMP With President Trump visiting Scotland right now, the eyes of the world are upon us. As First Minister, I will use every opportunity I can to represent Scotland's interests, and to raise global issues such as the unbearable suffering in Gaza - so I will be pleased to meet with the President while he is here. The USA is Scotland's top international export destination and our largest inward investor. Millions of Americans have ancestral ties to Scotland – including President Trump himself. Many of those watching this visit are of course future potential tourists and investors in Scotland, and it is important that they see the very best that our country has to offer. It is essential in a free and democratic society that people have the right to demonstrate and I am pleased that those protests have been peaceful. Police Scotland have done a outstanding job in keeping the public safe and in helping to maintain the appropriate security arrangements for President Trump. This deep and enduring friendship between Scotland and the USA is one which we must cherish and nurture, to ensure it continues long into the future. GAZA The ongoing horror afflicting people in Gaza is the greatest international failing of my lifetime. Everything must be done to secure peace and end the humanitarian emergency. 147 of the UN's 193 members already recognise the state of Palestine. France announced last week it will become the 148th. Last year I called on the UK to do the same. The UK must follow France's lead now.

Jacinta Price reveals the little-known truth about the term 'First Nations' before being told off by Penny Wong
Indigenous senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price declared that 'First Nations' is not even an Australian term before being told off by Penny Wong in parliament. The firebrand Coalition politician was at the centre of a fiery row in the Senate after One Nation senators including Pauline Hanson turned their backs on the acknowledgement of country at the start of parliament last week. Senator Price objected to the ceremonies as a person of Indigenous heritage, claiming they did little to improve the lives of Indigenous Australians and were a form of 'political point-scoring'. It prompted Wong to urge the Coalition to 'respect' parliamentary traditions. 'I would hope that the Opposition would reflect on the words of their own leader in relation to Welcomes to Country,' the Labor Senate leader told the chamber. 'Decency and respect cost us nothing, but it goes a long way to building a sense of unity.' Before being told off by Wong, Senator Price also launched a blistering attack on the term 'First Nations'. 'First Nations isn't even Australian terminology, for crying out loud! It's been adopted from Canada, from America. It's just reinvention, which is actually belittling and watering down traditional culture and what it's really about. She also doubled down on her stance about Welcome to Country. 'Senator Hanson is correct to say that Welcome to Country is not traditional culture. It isn't. And what we do need to recognise is - and it is important for all of us, as leaders of this nation, to recognise - the reinvention of culture, which diminishes traditional culture. 'For those who still live close to traditional culture, within cultural confines, their day-to-day lives are dictated by it. 'They speak their language. They are often spoken about in very romanticised terms. And the use of acknowledgements really does absolutely nothing to improve their lives and has done nothing to improve their lives. 'To be quite honest, as a woman of Indigenous heritage but, first and foremost, as an Australian, I am absolutely done with the virtue signalling that takes place. I am of the belief that it is not necessary to have an acknowledgement, because we are all Australians. 'Every single one of us - including the Ngunnawal and the Ngambri - is Australian. We are here to serve all Australians equally in this country, not to praise or acknowledge one group above others. 'Truly, I don't think you really want to acknowledge my existence because of my indigeneity more than anybody else's. I am equal to you and to everybody else here and to everybody in this country. 'But we can ignore traditional culture in this chamber because there are elements of it in every single one of you across from here ignore, because it's detrimental to the most remote and marginalised communities. 'But if you speak up against it, if you mention it, you're painted as a racist or somebody who is a 'coconut', or somebody who is a traitor. 'Imagine if we treated every single racial group in this manner in this country. It's horrendous.' Senator Price didn't mince her words on what she thought of the politicisation of Indigenous Australians due to their racial heritage. 'I'm sick of death of it as a woman, mother, soon to be grandmother and as an Australian of proud heritage, whether it's my convict ancestors or it's my Warlpiri ancestors, I'm proud of it all and we should all be,' she said. Price was quickly inundated with widespread support. 'Thank you for speaking up for ALL Australians, Jacinta,' conservative political lobbyist group Advance Australia posted. A man added: 'Well said, we are all Australian irrespective of skin pigmentation, heritage, race or whether you believe in a deity or you don't. I hope this is replayed many, many times.' Another commented: 'Here's hoping that one day we can all be proud Australians and recognise past heritages and be thankful we live in an amazing country.' The speech also reignited calls for Price to lead the Coalition. 'Future Prime Minister of Australia,' one Aussie commented. The senator's fiery speech came after Opposition Senate Leader Michaelia Cash leapt to her defence and accused Wong of having 'sought to dismiss' Price's objection to the ceremonies. 'I will stand by and respect Senator Nampijinpa Price, who every day has lived and breathed reconciliation in this country - her father is white, her mother is black,' Cash said. 'Please don't ever come into this place again and pontificate to us like you've just done.'
