Scotland’s fox cubs need your help!
The Scottish SPCA is appealing to animal lovers to donate much needed food for the fox cubs in their National Wildlife Centre in Fishcross. Scotland’s animal welfare charity is currently caring for 28 fox cubs and it is struggling to keep up with the appetites of the tiny mammals. Centre Manager Colin Seddon said: “As we are now in fox cub season, we are going through a lot of the food they eat which is puppy meat.“We are currently caring for 28 fox cubs and it can be a struggle to keep up with the demand for food.“This year our naming theme is ‘The Muppets’ and so far we have Rizzo, Animal, Pepe and Prawn.“Anyone who comes across fox cubs, that have their eyes fully open and their ears pricked who aren’t injured or in distress, should keep a distance and check back in an hour or two as vixens will often move their cubs from one location to another and if they are disturbed, they will leave the cubs and come back for them later. … [Read more...] about Scotland’s fox cubs need your help!

Change UK’s lead candidate in Scotland defects to Lib Dems
Change UK's faltering European election campaign has suffered another blow, after its lead MEP candidate in Scotland has quit the party's campaign to endorse the Liberal Democrats. Lib Dem sources told the New Statesman that David MacDonald, who topped Change's three-strong list north of the border, had come to believe that their party's strong showing in local elections and polling surge proved they were the strongest force pro-Remain force standing on 23 May. His departure means Change has lost two lead candidates in Scotland in the space of a month: its first choice, former Labour staffer Joseph Russo, was forced to quit over offensive social media posts. But much more significant than any embarrassment MacDonald's defection will cause is the deeper electoral questions it speaks to. For Change, a Lib Dem revival – which fatally undermines its claim to be the best-placed party to beat Nigel Farage – was not part of the plan. Indeed, they believed their … [Read more...] about Change UK’s lead candidate in Scotland defects to Lib Dems
