Wow! Tory UK Government refused to devolve to the new Crown Estate Scotland the Crown Estate share in Fort Kinnaird Retail Park in Edinburgh - now we know why - just sold for £167.3m to M & G Estates.

Scotland presumably not getting a penny despite this being a Scottish asset
and the other assets were devolved but not this one. Absolute scandal.

This a huge sum that could have been invested in Crown Estate Scotland assets like Glenlivet and Fochabers farm estates, Portgordon Harbour etc. Everyone needs to know this because UK Government will want to
keep below radar. PLEASE SHARE, SHARE SHARE!

Here's what Ofcom, the UK communications regulator said about the improvement of broadband coverage in Scotland since the Scottish Government took on delivery of this devolved area:
(short thread- bear with me) /1 Ofcom infrastructure report 2014:<br /> “Scotland and Wales continue to have the lowest coverage, although they have seen the largest increases since last year.”<br /> <br /> Ofcom Connected Nations report 2015:<br /> “Coverage has improved most in Scotland and Wales, as a result of investment in new and upgraded networks by industry and governments”<br /> <br /> Ofcom Connected Nations report 2016:<br /> “The greatest increase was in Scotland, with a year-o
Now – this is all great news if you live in Scotland and have access to superfast broadband but meaningless if you still do not.

Remember- Scotland is big and sparsely populated. And has loads of islands & mountains. It is clearly the hardest country in the UK to hook up. /2
So the Scottish Government last year announced the R100 programme to reach everyone. They are funding this RESERVED area to the tune of £600million. Great news you would think? /3 Scottish Government announcement of £600 million funding for R100 universal superfast broadband programme

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

BREAKING: The White House has said that US President #Trump is canceling his upcoming South America trip to remain in the US "to oversee the American response to Syria." - @NBCNews
This sounds like the US is planning to strike #Syria and Trump will remain in the US to closely monitor responses by #Russia. This is terrible.
BREAKING - British forces are now mobilizing at their bases in #Cyprus for strikes against #Syria. It appears very likely that the US, France and U.K. will strike Syria in the next 24 hours. This is dreadful.

UK’s @AmbassadorAllen:

#Novichok is not a weapon that can be manufactured by non-state actors… #Russia has provided no credible explanation… Therefore, we have no alternative but to conclude that the #Russian state was responsible [for a chemical weapons attack on my country].
This was an attack on #UK soil… #Russia is failing to comply with the conditions of the Chemical Weapons Convention…

Let us turn to the part of the CWC that #Russia is not talking about - Russia did not declare #Novichok & is therefore in serious breach of the CWC.
This was a reckless act… #Russia officials have repeatedly threatened those they consider traitors, before & after March 4 attack.

Russia has a history of political assassinations, interfering in other countries & a total disregard for civilian life.
