Surprised the Evening News didn't call this out. This politician gets a lot of unquestioned tap-ins.
This MSP (and his party) opposed measures such as 20mph speed limits and LTNs which improve safety for all parts of children’s walks to school, claiming a “war on motorists”.

One of the reasons for tech firms' relentless, planet-wrecking, obsession with growth at any cost is their spiralling obsession with overpaying people. While others starve. They don't care.
Yesterday, Sam Altman told OpenAI researchers and engineers that they’re getting “special one-time” bonuses due to “movement in the market” for AI talent. The bonuses will be millions of dollars for some. “We very much intend to keep increasing comp”, wrote Altman in Slack.
