The Guardian view on Scotland′s housing crisis: supply has failed to keep pace with need (The Guardian)
|
|
|
The country's homelessness legislation is ambitious and humane. But too many people are still sleeping on the streets or in temporary accommodationRough sleeping in Scotland has risen by 106% over the past three years. Record numbers of children are now living in temporary accommodation, official figures released this month show. In Glasgow, the city council leader warned last year that the authority had run out of temporary housing. This looks like a system approaching crisis point.The paradox is that Scotland has some of the strongest homelessness protections in Europe. More than a decade ago, the Scottish parliament abolished the “priority need” test, creating a statutory duty on councils to secure permanent accommodation for all unintentionally homeless applicants. The charity Shelter considered Scotland to have had “the best homelessness law in Europe”. But having a legal right to a home doesn't mean having a home.Do you have an opinion on the issues raised in this article? If you would lik...

"Pressure Is Enormous": Nestle CEO Faces Mounting Scrutiny Amid Infant Formula Crisis
Nestlé SA CEO Philipp Navratil is feeling the heat after the world's largest food company recently carried out the biggest recall in its history, pulling infant formula off supermarket shelves after a contaminated ingredient was discovered early last month. Shares have taken a beating, and scrutiny of the recall is intensifying, with prosecutors in Europe opening an investigation.
Navratil and his management team are expected to present a turnaround plan for the Swiss foodmaker on Thursday, following the early January recall of its infant formulas. Multiple production sites were found to have cereulide, a toxin that can cause nausea and vomiting.
French authorities have received complaints from eight consumers who say their children vomited after consuming Nestlé baby formula, prompting Paris prosecutors to open investigations. In the UK, there have also been 36 reports of suspected food poiso...

18 Ways To Reverse EU's Immigration Crisis And Give Power Back To Member States
Via Remix News,
Due to years of uncontrolled mass migration, many Europeans are asking what concrete options there are to reverse course, with many feeling that the situation is hopeless and cannot be significantly reversed.
However, a new report titled “Taking Back Control from Brussels: The Renationalization of the EU Migration and Asylum Policies” - produced by the Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC), Hungary's Migration Research Institute, and Poland's Ordo Iuris Institute - provides comprehensive solutions to the crisis.
The paper's core thesis offers bold and practical solutions today, noting that the power still rests with member states.
The authors write: “European Union member states can reclaim effective authority over migration and asylum policy without changing the EU treaties.”
The report outlines how asylum policy has “completely collapsed” in the EU and reached a point of “total fail...
