I think that's not restricted to one party, but I have to say my experience is that women get it much, much worse.

As somebody with a bit of experience in this area, I am concerned that the UK Government have maybe got it wrong, and that could be devastating for jobs and investment.
This is one and a half thousand jobs in the north of Scotland. This is a massive blow.
Scotland's future prosperity – and our contribution to energy security – are reliant on North Sea energy production and, crucially, the skills and experience of that workforce.
Scotland decided, and not only did they vote in favour of EU membership, but they’ve subsequently voted for a majority of pro-EU MSPs and MPs.
The easiest way to do this is for Scotland to be an independent member state of the EU and that’s still my ambition.
If you think it’s good for Gibraltar’s economy and good for its citizens, if you think Northern Ireland is getting the best of both worlds, we are acknowledging the damage that has been done.
The British government would be continuing in an act of colossal self-harm not to reach some kind of agreement with Scotland and the EU.
You cannot compare Scotland and Gibraltar or Scotland and Northern Ireland, but what it tells you is where there is a will, there is a way.
I would urge the incoming UK administration to urgently redress this given the damage that has been done to businesses, organisations and citizens across Scotland.
It is now a decade since the disastrous decision to leave the EU. Brexit is costing taxpayers tens of billions of pounds a year, has left us poorer and with fewer rights. Even the staunchest supporters of Brexit no longer seem to have the…
Marking 250 years of American independence with this tartan is an excellent opportunity to celebrate the lasting relationship between Scotland and the United States.
Scots were at the heart of the United States' emergence as an independent country.
This can no longer be ignored. The UK is not a unitary state. It is failing at the moment.
In democracy, I’m a great fan of setting the rules out before the election, not after the election.
In the EU we have a model whereby you can respect the views of different nations and constituent parts, respect their sovereignty, strengthen their sovereignty, and strengthen their independence – that’s the 21st century model of union…
New nuclear would be incredibly expensive and the levy placed on energy bills to pay for nuclear reactors will cost Scottish electricity bill payers £300 million over the next decade.
Behind these figures are tens of thousands of skilled, well-paid jobs either directly involved in generating renewable electricity or supporting it through supply chains across the country.
Scotland has been at the heart of Europe in the past and it is where we will remain now and in the future.
That's why the Scottish Government will continue to accelerate investment in renewables to strengthen our energy security, produce the power we need to meet increasing demand, and support progress towards net zero.
As a massive energy exporter, Scotland also has a critical role to play in safeguarding UK and European energy security.
