Our News (Helen Watt)

Feb 9, 2012:
- Donald Trump's millions won't bully Scotland
  
  "This letter is a rather desperate attempt by a rich man who is used to getting his own way, but his latest tizzy is embarrassing. Instead of the world laughing at Scotland, Scotland is laughing at Mr Trump."
- FM is Goliath blocking rights of ordinary Scots
  
  "Instead of trying to blame anyone else, the First Minister needs to explain why his Government blocked the extension of information laws in Scotland."
Feb 8, 2012:
- Lib Dems vote for Scottish budget
  
  "The additional support for students, colleges, new homes and help for children from disadvantaged backgrounds reflected the priorities we argued for."
Feb 7, 2012:
- Russell last man standing over college cuts
  
  "At a time when Scotland's unemployment rate is rising faster the elsewhere in the UK, and youth unemployment is seen as a priority, this attack by the SNP on colleges defies logic."
- Laughing stock comment says more about Trump than Scotland
  
  "Donald Trump's hysterical attack exaggerates the impact of the offshore turbines on his golf course."
Feb 6, 2012:
- More work to be done to drive forward climate change targets
  
  "While we have seen some progress in recent years in the procurement of green vehicles by local authorities, much more still needs to be done."
Feb 2, 2012:
- Prison visiting committees play vital role
  
  "More than simply being an independent voice for prisoners, the Committees play a far greater role in ensuring that standards in our prison estate are maintained."
- More questions and concerns over currency
  
  "The reality is that independence is a complicated and protracted process in which the Scottish Government will have little or no control on the details that will determine it."
- Scottish colleges deserve better from SNP
  
  "It seems the only person unwilling to accept and argue the case for an improved funding settlement for our colleges is the Education Secretary."
Feb 1, 2012:
- SNP should come clean over colleges
  
  "Instead of shouting down anyone who dares challenge him, the Education Secretary needs to come clean and tell colleges what the SNP's plans will actually mean for their budgets and reserves."
