FST is pleased that @ScotGov has committed to increase the culture budget by £34m next year, with almost £54m for @CreativeScots Multi-Year Funding. This is better than expected, and we hope it is a positive sign for the future of the sector.

I made my BBC documentary Better Off Dead? to explain why me & many other disabled people oppose legalising assisted suicide. Some of us have very real fears based on our lived experience & based on what has happened in other countries where it's legal. https://t.co/KOoAi5m7Jz
