OPINION: Kate Forbes stands accused for giving honest answers

1 month ago Strathspey Herald

Badenoch MSP Kate Forbes has been at the centre of a political maelstrom for expressing her religious beliefs rather than trying to hide them. It did not take long for the media feeding frenzy – both traditional and new – to begin following the launch of the SNP leadership race. It was triggered into its full and unabashed mania by Badenoch MSP Kate Forbes’ responses given in a BBC Scotland interview later in the same day that she announced her candidacy.

How higher interest rates are affecting farmers, ranchers

With the Federal Reserve raising interest rates at a relatively quick pace to combat inflation, farmers and ranchers have faced some different calculations when making decisions about their operations. He says interest rates more than doubling in a relatively short amount of time has changed the situation for producers. They had experienced a long run of low interest rates. Sherrick says the Fed is raising interest rates in response to “incredibly strong” inflation, and adds that interest rates were kept artificially low during the coronavirus pandemic to help support other sectors of the economy. Still, Sherrick says this is a historic increase in interest rates, even if asset values have also seen historic increases.

What killed seven animals on Ullswater?

ADVERTISEMENT“I have been visiting there since I was a kid and I have never ever seen so many dead birds and dead fish all on the shore. At the moment, Penrith is part of the 10km “surveillance zone”, after the discovery of bird flu at Winskill. If it’s bird flu, what did the fish die of, or is it just coincidence they were found close by? Instead, they provided a bullet-pointed “background” briefing containing standard public advice recommending that finds of birds be reported, particularly one or more dead birds of prey; three or more dead birds including gull, swan, goose or duck; or five or more dead birds of any species. Its Animal Plant and Health Agency has so far recorded cases of bird flu in the Appleby area, Carlisle, Durham, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, Lancashire, Staffordshire and Hampshire.
