Can the First Minister tell us how many vehicles applied for an exemption to the scheme but were refused? First of all, this is a scheme run by Glasgow City Council. It's a scheme that I am very supportive of. Of course, I think that all of the Parliament should be supportive of the low-emission zones. Why? We know that air pollution is a serious problem, particularly in our city, in Glasgow. That's why the introduction of the ALEZ has been welcomed by the likes of Asma and Lung UK, as well as many other third sector organisations with an interest in public health. I don't have the exact figure to hand that Douglas Ross has asked for, but I know that there has been an ALEZ exemption process that has been put in place, and a number of time-limited exemptions have been granted. I hope that, in his questioning, he will be unequivocal in his support for ALEZs because every single week, rightly so, members of this Parliament question this Government on what more we can do to tackle the climate emergency. In the Conservatives case, every time we bring forward a measure, or local authorities bring forward a measure, they seem to oppose it time and time and time again. It is absolutely critical for all of us that believe in tackling this climate emergency as a priority that we don't just talk the talk but are prepared to walk the walk. I really hope that the First Minister will start answering questions rather than telling Opposition leaders what they should be asking, because, as usual with the SNP, the problem with this policy is the delivery. There have been numerous warnings about the implementation from people and organisations across Scotland. SNP members are saying that this is an exaggeration. Let's just look at one of the many charities raising concerns. Joe Fitzpatrick, a Government minister, wants to shout me down because I am speaking about a charity in Glasgow raising concerns. So maybe, Joe Fitzpatrick, the First Minister and the SNP could listen to Homeless Project Scotland. They were refused an exemption and still they heckled Homeless Project Scotland. Refused an exemption to use a refrigerated van within the restricted area. Minister MacKinnus said that it helps to feed 300 people every day. It collects food from 15 to 20 businesses in the city centre right at the heart of the low emissions zone. His message was simple. Exemptions for exceptional circumstances must be reviewed. Mr MacKinnus continued, if 300 people queuing for many hours for food on the streets of Glasgow is not exceptional, the need to publish what is exceptional. Does Humza Yousaf agree that this outstanding charity deserves an exemption from this scheme? First Minister. I commend the work that is done by the Homeless Project in Glasgow. We do have to ask ourselves, of course, why are they having to feed so many people in any given week? That is undoubtedly the case because of over a decade of Tory austerity because of a cost of living crisis. Because of high inflation, because of high energy costs, that is why, of course, they are having to do the work that they are having to do. I would urge Glasgow, as it has already done in my understanding, to engage with the third sector, with charities, including, of course, the Homeless Project. Glasgow has been very transparent. The application process for time-limited exemptions in Glasgow is published on the Glasgow City Council website. There has been, of course, a lead-in time in relation to the early Z being introduced. We know, of course, that there is an exemption process, but clearly it is imperative on all of us, whether it is the public who are in Glasgow, whether it is charities, whether it is the third sector in all of us, to have to make sure that we are doing everything possible in our gift to tackle the serious problems around air pollution. I go back to what I said in my first answer, is that time and time and time again, Doug LaShawson will stand up and demand that we do more to tackle the climate emergency. Whether it is on DRS, whether it is on the workplace parking levy, whether it is on LAZ, he will oppose it, and why will he oppose it? Not because of course anything to do with any principled stance in relation to the climate emergency, he opposes it simply because the SNP proposes it, I oppose it when the SNP make a shambolic mess of every one of these schemes that they bring in. The First Minister wants to commend Homeless Project Scotland but refuses to stand up and say that they are one van that helps to feed 300 people every day should get an exemption. That is not commending a charity, that is condemning them and they are inability now to do the work they want to do. The delivery of this scheme has been toned death to the needs of the city and charities like Homeless Project Scotland. SNP members now wanted to heckle me when I spoke about charities. Will they do the same when I now read out quotes from businesses? Because they have also been raising concerns. Now its cabinet secretaries don't want to hear what businesses in Glasgow think. I know Jenny Gilruth used to be the transport minister but she should be listening to these points just now. Because businesses are saying this to politicians across the political spectrum and SNP members think it's funny. So let's listen. Stephen Grant. It is funny when the health secretary is laughing at this. So Stephen Grant of Unite Glasgow taxi drivers has said, this is Steve Grant, Unite Glasgow taxi drivers said this. This damaging and punitive plan is going to be devastating for our trade without a shadow of a doubt. Local business owner William Payton, who runs a garage within the restricted zone, says, it just feels like it's been poorly thought out and we've been left in a horrible position because of it. Stuart Patrick, chief executive officer of Glasgow, Chambers of Commerce said, while we are supportive of the aims of the LEZ, the chamber does not support using it as a political measure to drive all private cars away from the city centre. This morning, Donald MacLeod of the Night Time Industries Association said, actually what we've got here is going to be a low economy zone getting created. He's right, isn't he? And what does Hamza Yousaf have to say to all these businesses and all their workers who are concerned that this scheme is going to put jobs at risk? First Minister. First and foremost, I go back to the point that there has, of course, been a considerable lead-in time for the Glasgow LEZ coming into place, and there has been extensive engagement. Oh, it's fine for Douglas Ross to dish it out now, but he can't take it when he's standing up in his question. Let me, of course, give Douglas Ross some of the facts around the LEZ in Glasgow. Not only has it had a lengthy and extensive lead-in time, there has, of course, been considerable engagement with businesses, with the community, with the third sector, with charities as well. And in terms of support as well to support low-income households and small businesses, get prepared, the LEZ support fund did offer financial support towards the disposal of non-LEZ compliant vehicles in 2020-21. The LEZ support fund awarded £1.7 million in grants, £3.85 million in 2021-22. £5 million was awarded through the LEZ support fund in 2022-23. That fund, while it is now closed, however, those eligible were encouraged to register their interest. As a result of that fund, the LEZ support fund resulted in over 2,500 non-LEZ compliant vehicles being disposed or retrofitted with cleaner technology. There has been funding there not just for, as I say, low-income households, but in particular for small businesses as well. So, when it comes to tackling the climate emergency, something all of us in this chamber claim to have an interest in, claim to say that it is a priority, really is easy, the warm words are easy, the rhetoric is easy, taking action is the hard bit. And this government will never shy away, nor should our local authorities, from taking the tough action that is required in order to tackle the biggest threat our planet faces. Douglas Ross. The only thing that answer proved is that it took till question 3 for Hamza Yousaf to find his pre-prepared script in his folder on this issue. But this LEZ is the latest anti-driver policy from the SA. Thank you. That looks like being a nab salute shambles in the making. So they've cut investment in roads. They're not tackling Scotland's pothole problems. They're not supporting car drivers. Members have proposed a car park tax, and they are increasing the cost of driving across Scotland. Now approximately three quarters of a million vehicles in Scotland will be fined if they drive through this zone in Glasgow. The LEZ is hurting charities' ability to function. It's risking jobs, and business leaders think it's going to create a low economy zone. Wouldn't it have been better, First Minister, to delay the scheme for a year and properly listen to the concerns of businesses, charities, individuals and organisations who have been raising these concerns, have been hoping for a change that has been left with no answers, no response and atoned death government who refuse to listen to them? First Minister. In the meantime, of course, if we had delayed, more people would have suffered in terms of their asthma. More people would have suffered because of their lung conditions. More people would have suffered because of CPD. More of the citizens of Glasgow would have suffered dire health consequences because we know air pollution in Glasgow is nowhere near the standards that we want it to be, and the LEZ, of course, will help with that. It is an undeniable fact, Presiding Officer, that every time this SNP Government brings forward action to tackle the biggest threat our planet faces, that Douglas Ross and the Conservatives oppose time and time and time again. They oppose the workplace parking levy. They oppose, of course, the DRS scheme, even though they had it in their manifesto, that they stood on. Douglas Ross, of course, stood on the manifesto for a deposit return scheme, but now opposes it. When we look to invest and unleash the potential of the green economy in the north-east, what do we get from the UK Government, from the Tory UK Government? Complete and utter inaction, not a single penny of funding towards the Scottish cluster or the Acorn project, not a single penny to support the economy, the green economy. Members, First Minister, I think we are not going to continue in this vein. We are representatives of the people of Scotland. We are sitting in the national parliament. I'd be very grateful if all who are tuning in could hear answers and questions. Thank you. They don't want to hear about the fact that they have been utterly missing from taking any action to tackle the climate emergency here in Scotland. Let me end by saying this to the Conservatives when it comes to tackling the climate emergency, whether it's LEZs, whether it's DRS, the real potential for Scotland, of course, both from tackling the climate emergency and from an economic point of view is unleashing the green potential of the north-east and of Scotland. For a party that has plundered and taken £300 billion of revenue from the north-east, the very least they could do is match our £500 million Just Transition Fund and help us to tackle the climate emergency that is affecting our globe is the biggest priority, the biggest threat to this country and, indeed, the world's faces. Question 2, Anna Sarwar. Can the First Minister tell us how many Scots died last year while languishing on an NHS waiting list? First Minister. I don't have that figure to hand, but, of course, let me say right from the offset, as First Minister, that I don't want a single person having to wait longer than they have to. I apologise, of course, to anybody that is waiting unnecessarily on a waiting list for treatment. I think that most people will recognise, I hope that most people will acknowledge the significant impact, of course, that the pandemic has had, the biggest challenge our NHS has ever faced in its almost 75-year existence. We are making some progress in relation to the targets that have been set to reduce waiting times, both in terms of outpatients and inpatients. I would be the first to recognise that we have to do more. That is why the recovery of our NHS is a significant priority, the priority for this Government. That is why we are investing a record £19 billion this year in order to help to recover the NHS and reduce those waiting lists. Anna Sarwar. The number of the First Minister was looking for is 18,390. That is over 18,000 families with a loved one who died waiting for treatment that could have prolonged or in some cases saved their lives. In 2017, 7,868 Scots died while on an NHS waiting list and immediately before Covid, it was 13,211. If this current trend continues, it will be over 20,000 this year. Those are not just numbers. Those are people waiting in pain. Many dying far too early leaving behind heartbroken families. As health secretary, Humza Yousaf failed to get a grip of NHS waiting lists and on his watch, they grew by over 175,000. Nearly two years ago, he published a recovery plan for the NHS and since then things have got worse. Can the First Minister tell us clearly when will his Government meet the legal treatment time guarantee so that fewer Scots are losing their lives? Of course, he is absolutely right to raise the issue of waiting lists and the fact that they have increased throughout the course of the pandemic. I cannot escape and will not escape from that matter of fact, but the pandemic is not just a fleeting matter. It is not a matter that can just be mentioned and then not fully explored in terms of the clear impact that it has had. The pandemic has been the biggest shock that NHS health services in Europe and globally have faced. That is not unique to Scotland. Of course, we are responsible for the health service here in Scotland but it has clearly impacted on health services right across the UK. We are making progress in relation to that recovery plan that Anna Sauer mentions. For example, if I look at the outpatient two-year waits the numbers are down 19 per cent from the last quarter, crucially down almost 70 per cent from quarter two in 2022. In terms of 12 months, those are waiting a year or 12 months in relation to outpatients. We know that since the target was introduced in quarter three 2022 the numbers of new outpatients has reduced by over 15 per cent. If I look at inpatients, again we have seen a similar decrease. If I look at inpatient day cases over two years we have seen those numbers significantly reduced by 27 per cent since those targets were announced and we can see a similar pattern in terms of improvement in relation to diagnostics as well. We are making progress in relation to those targets and we are also investing record numbers in our NHS recovery and indeed in our social care recovery. I have always been up front when I was health secretary or my current role as First Minister that the recovery of the NHS will not take weeks or months, it will take years and that is why we have a five-year recovery plan that I am absolutely committed in continuing to see progress in and committed to ensuring it has record investment alongside it. As health secretary Humza Yousaf said he would have eradicated two-year rates by now and he has patently failed. Things were getting worse before Covid and things have got a lot worse in the past two years since he published his NHS catch-up plan and grieving families will see through those excuses, but this is not even the full picture. According to FOI responses thousands of people are forced to leave the NHS and pay for their treatment in the middle of a cost of living crisis. In one health board alone the number has quadrupled between 2019 and 2023 and people without insurance paying for private treatment by 3 per cent since before the pandemic. 73 per cent. Our NHS was built on the principle of healthcare free at the point of need and that is clearly no longer the case for thousands of people in Scotland. Does the First Minister accept that his incompetence has created a two-tier NHS where people are forced to either go into debt in order to stop the pain and get the treatment they need or to languish on an NHS waiting list? First Minister No, I don't agree with Anna Salwar's characterisation. I'll come to why in just a second. It wasn't a list of excuses I read it, I read it a list of facts I read it some of the data, some of the statistics around some of the progress that has been made. Now that is not to take away from individuals right across this country who are waiting far too long. We know that, of course, waiting on a waiting list can have significant and severe consequences. That's why, for example, we are investing in our national treatment centres. We have four that are opening this year. A couple of them have already opened. I'll be pleased in a couple of weeks' time to officially open NTC Highland. We have NTC Fourth Valley in the second phase of NHS Golden Jubilee opening later this year. That will give us additional capacity. We know that NTC Five plans include 500 orthopedic procedures this year, rising more than 700 by 2025-22. In the first year of opening the first of the national treatment centres and the national eye centre in NHS Golden Jubilee delivered almost 9,000 catarac procedures. We are investing in that additional capacity in terms of the use of private healthcare. I don't want anybody to have to feel that the only choice they have to go to is private healthcare. To go to Anasawa's point, this is not because the SNP is in Government. It's unique to Scotland. It's a situation that is affecting health services right across the entire UK. If I take private healthcare as an example, the rate of people's self-funding for private and patient day-case care is 19.9% higher in England than it is here. In Wales it's over 120% higher than it is here in Scotland. We know that these issues are affecting people right across the UK. The reason why, of course, is the pandemic. We will continue to not just invest in the NHS. We will continue to make sure that our staff are the best paid in the UK. We will make sure that we don't lose days on strike. Scotland is the only part of the UK to ensure that not a single day in the NHS was lost to strike over the course of the winter. We will continue to make sure that we can to fill those vacancies. There can be no NHS recovery or social care recovery. What hasn't helped social care, of course, is Brexit, where, of course, we've seen many staff leave social care because of that hard Brexit that has been imposed on Scotland. I'll continue to make sure that we have record amounts invested in the recovery of both our NHS and of social care too. To ask the First Minister what priority the Scottish Government gives to protecting its environment. Scotland's natural environment is central to our identity as a nation. It's fundamental to our health, to our quality of life, to our economy. This year we're investing nearly £1 billion in our natural environment and, of course, we remain committed to working with our partners in the green group on the priorities for net zero and for nature that is set out clearly in the bute house agreement. My Government is fully committed to protecting and enhancing Scotland's environment, but progress, of course, depends on us being able to use the powers that are fully devolved to this Parliament. Just this week, of course, we've seen the UK Government determined to ride roughshot over a measure to improve recycling, dramatically reduce litter by seeking to sabotage regulations that this Parliament passed on bottle and can recycling and that, of course, is simply unacceptable. Handing on a clean and nature-rich environment to future generations is one of the biggest responsibilities of Government, so it is astonishing to hear that the UK Government, at a whim, is undermining our Parliament's effort to reduce litter and improve recycling by aiming to sabotage Scotland's deposit return scheme. Given that the Tory UK Government was elected on a manifesto commitment to have a scheme which included glass and given that Labour in Wales has joined Scotland in our shared commitment to a scheme with glass, does the First Minister believe that all members here should listen to the evidence, listen to their own promises and colleagues and let Scotland get on with the job for which this Parliament voted? First Minister. Ariane Burgess is absolutely right to highlight what can only be described as shameful hypocrisy of the Conservatives on this matter, whether it's Rushi Sunak, whether it's Alistair Jack, whether it's Douglas Ross, who stood on a manifesto promising a deposit return scheme that included glass. It was Morris Golden, of course. He told us that if you're going to do it, do it properly and include glass. The Tory Government has U-turned on its very own promises and indeed is going contrary to the evidence of what will help us to tackle this climate emergency, what will help us to increase recycling rates and what will help us to remove that litter, that glass that could be hazardous to children, to pets, from our streets, from our parks, and from our beaches. It does not stop, of course, at the Tories. Labour in Wales shares Scotland's anger about the treatment of devolved parliaments. They share our ambition to have glass included. There was a time when Labour in Scotland did stand up for the Scottish Parliament's right to make our own choices. I shudder to think what greats like John Smith or Donald Joe, those architects of the evolution, at Scottish Labour's complete and utter silence at the fact that the Conservatives time and time again want to undermine devolution. So what the latest action what the latest action from the Conservatives has shown us is that the Tories, they're bad for business in Scotland, they're bad for the environment, they're bad for devolution. No wonder they've never won an election here in the last 50 years and I suspect if they keep going they won't win another one for another 50 years after the election. Liam Kerr. This Government has cut the total forestry and land budget by 3.4 million. It has cut the environmental quality budget by 3.9 million. It has cut Scottish waters budget by 1.8 million. Isn't this his own shameful hypocrisy trotting out worn words on protecting Scotland's environment with these cold cuts? First Minister. We have, of course yn llawer i Llyfrgellwyllol yn teimlo i'r tra現ol i'r Rastferth i Llyfrgellwyllol yn teimlo i'r trefn wathoddiad, yn teimlo i'r gandd defnyddio'r clywedol.

To ask the First Minister what the Scottish Government's responses to reports that the Community Pharmacy Scotland board has described the financial settlement that has been offered as derisory. Community pharmacies are a key point of access to NHS healthcare. They provide the right care and the right place at the right time. Discussions are on going with Community Pharmacy Scotland on the financial settlement for £23.24. We will build on the increased funding that we have provided year on year for the last five years for community pharmacy services. This has delivered over £25 million in additional remuneration funding. We have also recently added an additional £20 million to the value of the drug tariff this financial year to address the increase in cost of medicine. We look forward to our continued engagement with Community Pharmacy Scotland. I thank the First Minister for his answer and I do hope that discussions conclude shortly recognising the key role they play in sustaining the health and wellbeing of our constituents. On the line of delivering the right care at the right time and the right place, does the First Minister agree with me that pharmacies such as the high street pharmacy in Lauderdale and the larger chain pharmacy boots and gallous heels, for example, both in my constituency, with their expanding professional services also eased pressure on GPs and even accident and emergency services, emphasising yet again their key role in our health service? First Minister. Christine Grahame is absolutely right. They do provide an exceptional service, whether that is in terms of minor ailments, whether that is in relation to the pharmacy first services that they provide and all the other range of services that are pharmacies, whether they are small independent pharmacies or whether they are, of course, part of larger chains. I would say to Christine Grahame to give her some level of reassurance that we are committed to continuing to fund those vital services. Since its introduction, for example, pharmacy first has become established as a key part of the remobilisation of the NHS. I am grateful to all pharmacy contractors, all pharmacy staff, for continuing to support the vital element of primary care in Scotland. It is funded separately, but current annual funding of £30.8 million is allocated for pharmacy first, including £10 million of new funding, which was invested between 2020-21 and 2022-23. I agree with Christine Grahame about the excellent services that are provided by pharmacies right across the country. As I mentioned in response to her first question, those discussions and negotiations with community pharmacies in Scotland are on-going and, hopefully, will get to an agreeable position. In her written response to my question, as the health secretary, Humza Yousaf, said that the previous financial package ensured continuous expansion in the quality and number of services that can be offered by community pharmacy contractors to local communities. Just this week, following a new offer made by the Government that he now leads, we are being warned that opening hours may reduce and services could be cut back. How has it gone so badly wrong yet again on his watch and will he personally be meeting with community of pharmacy representatives to resolve this important issue? Of course, the pharmacy sector is not immune to the high energy costs, high inflation costs that are affecting everybody in every single business right up and down the country. Of course, we have called on the UK Government to do more. It has not done enough to address many of the issues that were of their making. However, what is in our gift is to ensure that we are giving appropriate resource and funding to pharmacy services here in Scotland. We have increased funding year on year for the last five years for community pharmacy services. Indeed, in Scotland, the Government spends £52 per person per year on pharmaceutical services, where Carol Mocken's party is in charge. It is not as high as that. In terms of England, if I look where the Conservatives are in charge, that figure is £46 per person in England. We will continue to invest and make sure that we adequately fund pharmacies right up and down in this country. I am really grateful for the services that are provided by our pharmacists and pharmacy staff as they say, the length and breadth of the country. I am confident that I am hopeful that we will get to an agreed position, hopefully sooner rather than later. This development, as described by the First Minister, was actually just yesterday. It was the community pharmacist that said that the offer was derisory when they rejected it before this money was put in. However, I welcome this money following pressure from community pharmacy and myself, because it does ease some of the ... Well, I am glad that the SNP are laughing because they clearly do not care about community pharmacists. It eases some of the cost pressures on the community pharmacy networks whilst the negotiations continue. Will the Scottish Government underwrite the risk that the network is carrying on behalf of the NHS so that it can continue to supply essential medicines and support the people of Scotland with the full service offering? Remind the chamber that Dr Sanders-Glouhanay has nothing to do with the negotiations that we are taking forward with community pharmacy Scotland. The investment that is coming from the Scottish Government and the Health Secretary of the Minister for Public Health are involved in those discussions with community pharmacy Scotland. What I will do is make sure that we continue to fund pharmacies and pharmacists right up and down the country to the level that they require. Of course, they are facing these challenges because of the pressures of inflation, because of high energy costs, because of energy bills. Of course, there are some global factors that are affecting medicine prices as well, and that is why the Scottish Government ensured that we gave additional £20 million to the value of the drug tariff in the current financial year. We will continue in our engagement with community pharmacy Scotland, and I am very grateful for the excellent services that they provide across the length and breadth of Scotland. To ask the First Minister what the Scottish Government's position is regarding recent reports that suggest that there is a mental health crisis emerging in the early years sector. The unprecedented pressures of the past few years, including Brexit, the Covid pandemic and the cost crisis, are of course taking a toll on a number of people's mental health, including early years staff. I am particularly grateful to everyone in the workforce for continuing to operate as key workers throughout this difficult time. That is why, since October 2020, the Scottish Government has invested more than £2 million in the wellbeing of the education workforce. We have also worked with early years Scotland to develop team ELC wellbeing hub, specifically to support professionals. That builds on what local authorities, as direct employers, are doing to support the wellbeing of those that they employ. I have been raising concerns over an emerging childcare crisis since being elected to this Parliament. This SNP Government has done nothing to fix the problems in our childcare sector.  Those absences are indicative of a childcare crisis, with more than 9 in 10 councils unable to fully fund free childcare. Nurseries are closing their doors and parents are without childcare for their children. Audit Scotland has even said that the sector is fragile. First Minister, earlier petitioners are children's first educators. They are being let down by this Government. Will he therefore meet me and nursery providers to discuss the 1140-hour policy, since he has expressed an interest to expand the provision as part of his leadership bid? Of course, we offer the most generous offer of childcare anywhere in the UK. I am really proud of what we have achieved in that 1140 hours. I recognise the challenges that are faced by the sector. That is why Natalie Don, the Minister for Children and Young People and the Minister responsible for keeping the promise, met the PVI sector this week. I will ensure that the Government continues to engage, be it with Megan Gallacher or with the sector, directly. I take the issue of mental health very seriously. Indeed, that is why, as I say, we have invested more than £2 million in the wellbeing of education workforce and working with local authorities in relation to what more can be done, particularly for ELC staff. We are also making sure that we are doing to help with those challenges, be it the mental health challenges, be it the workload pressures, be it, of course, the cost crisis that her party has created. We are making sure that we pay staff. We are making sure that staff are well paid, those who work in early learning and childcare. Before the expansion of early learning childcare began, approximately 80 per cent of staff delivering funded ELC were paid less than the living wage. In contrast, our 2021 health check indicated that 88 per cent of private providers intended to pay the real living wage to staff from August 2021. We will continue our focus on making sure that we expand childcare. We know the benefits that it can have for parents and families, particularly the positive disproportionate impact that it can have on women entering into the workforce. We will continue our focus on that and will continue to engage, be it with Megan Gallacher but, more importantly, with the PVI sector. Recent research by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation found that a quarter of adults in Scotland have accessed the NHS due to the impact of the cost of living crisis on their mental or physical health. Can the First Minister outline what progress can be made through existing powers to protect workers, including those in our childcare sector, from being further impacted by the crisis? Clare Hawke is absolutely right to raise those issues. We will do everything that we can in our gift to use the powers of devolution to their absolute maximum to help particularly those that are the most vulnerable, particularly those in the lowest-income households. I was pleased this week to visit Castlebray community campus and meet not just young people but parents and families who have been impacted and helped by the Scottish child payment, 303,000 children now in receipt of the Scottish child payment, a game-changing intervention from this Government. On top of that, many other benefits are only available in Scotland now being awarded through Social Security Scotland. We will do everything that we can in our gift to try to help with the cost of living crisis, which clearly has a mental health impact on many people across the country. The unfortunate problem is that, for all the good that we can do, the UK Government, with its over a decade of austerity, with its cost of living crisis, with the mini-budget that wrecked the economy, we are having to spend not millions, but billions of pounds trying to mitigate the worst effects of conservative austerity. If Scotland has to continue to do that, that means that less and less money is spent on education, on health, on transport and justice. That, to me, is simply not acceptable. To ask the Scottish Minister if the First Minister of any objections or concerns are raised by the Scottish ministers about the guidelines that we are sentencing under 25s in Scotland, which came into effect in January 2022. In line with the requirements agreed by this Parliament, the content of sentencing guidelines is entirely a matter for the independent judge-led Scottish Sentencing Council. As part of the consultation, the council undertakes on guidelines that the Scottish ministers were cited on a near final draft of the guideline. I replied at the time, as Cabinet Secretary for Justice, noting that the council had taken an evidence-led collaborative approach in developing the draft guideline, promoting rehabilitation, early intervention and alternatives to custody and ultimately working to reduce re-offending. I am pleased that re-offending levels have fallen over the past decade and that that is helping to keep our communities safe. It should be noted that the position in the guideline is that custody is, of course, still an option for sentencing young people and is, of course, completely right that this option remains available to the court in any given case. The Cabinet Secretary for Justice and Home Affairs, Angela Constance, met very recently with Lady Dorian to discuss how the council plans to keep those guidelines under review. We know that there have been at least two reported cases, whether there is public concern about the leniency of sentencing. Firstly, in the case where there was no jail sentence for the rape of a 13-year-old girl, but secondly, on the horrific rape and murder of Joe Barclay, there was a reduction in sentence of four years. The First Minister has confirmed today that he sees no role for the Parliament but only for the sentencing council. It seems that it has nothing to do with this Parliament as far as the First Minister is concerned. It is a very significant change in sentencing policy. Is the First Minister aware that this Parliament did of us a say when it came to the discounting of sentencing in relation to early pleas? I do not understand why, at least, the Parliament would not have a say in that. When it comes to horrific crimes, a serious rape and murder, does the First Minister believe that there should be a reduced sentence for under-25s? At least, could he at least give Parliament some comfort, that he believes that this Parliament should some oversight on significant changes to sentencing policy in Scotland? To Pauline McNeill, who I know has a long-standing interest in these matters, is that there was a public consultation when it came to the guideline. I do not know whether Pauline McNeill or the Scottish Labour Party responded to that public consultation, but every single guideline goes through that public consultation process. It is quite a lengthy process before that guideline is eventually approved by the High Court. Of course, as I said, from a Scottish Government perspective, we did respond to the guideline at the time. I will also say to Pauline McNeill, and I am happy to send her more detail. She may have seen this already. When it comes to that particular guideline, there is a mountain of evidence, about 122 pages of Edinburgh University research, which helped to inform that sentencing guideline when it came to the issues of cognitive maturity within the justice system, particularly among young people. For me, it is absolutely right that the decisions on sentencing are for the independent judiciary. Where the Parliament has an interest, of course, it is fine for Pauline McNeill to bring forward a member's bill, if she thinks that the Government should be bringing forward legislation on a matter that I am more than happy to consider. It must always be the case. Even in those cases where there are particularly heinous crimes, sentencing is always a matter for the independent judiciary and should be free from any political interference whatsoever. Last night, CalMac announced that it would yet again be abandoning ferry services from South Uist for virtually all of June to make up for issues elsewhere. In a statement that could only have been written a long way from South Uist, customers were advised that they could get to Oban and Mali via either Bara or Skye instead. What more can the Scottish Government do to challenge CalMac's decision, given that this community has already seen a third of its services cancelled during the last year? I thank Alasdalen for raising what is an incredibly important issue for his constituents. I know that many members will have an interest in this issue as well. First and foremost, I will ensure that the Transport Minister reflects the point about comms, because we know that this is an issue that has been raised time and time again by Ireland communities, who, of course, are feeling anger and frustration in relation to the latest developments and want to hear better communication when there is, unfortunately, disruption to the ferry services. I recognise the significant impact that this particular disruption will have on the communities in use. I know that the Minister for Transport has made very clear to CalMac that it must continue to explore every single avenue possible to keep disruption to an absolute minimum. The Minister not only visited North and South Uist last week. He met South Uist Business Impact Group earlier this morning. I have not had a read-out from that meeting, but I will make sure that I do shortly after First Minister's questions. I will, as Alasdalen has asked me to do, ensure that CalMac is exploring every single avenue possible to minimise the disruption as much as possible. I raise the plight of a vulnerable and deteriorating individual with severe learning difficulties in the care of Dumfries and Galloway Council, but for complex reasons has ended up trapped in a residential home in the south of England. For over a year, her sister has been desperately trying to get her back home closer to family. At every turn, social work has deliberately obstructed this and seemed to be willing the lady to die or become too weak to travel in order to save themselves cost and hassle. Despite notice being served by the existing home and a best interest meeting agreeing with the family that she should return to Scotland, progress has been extremely limited. If I provide her details privately, will the First Minister step in and ensure that her human dignity is respected? Of course, I am happy to look at the details of the case and, of course, the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care will also look at the details of the case if there is some way that we can assist, then we will do that. Of course, I would say to Oliver Mundell, and I am sure that he understands this, that it is really important that we do not overstep in terms of professional decision making or clinical decision making that may well be a factor in this particular case. However, I hear what Oliver Mundell has to say. He makes a very powerful contribution on behalf of his constituents. I cannot imagine what their family are going through. Therefore, I will look at the detail if Oliver Mundell sends that to me shortly after the First Minister's question. New forecasts from the Scottish Fiscal Commission show a concerning gap between eligibility and uptake of the Scottish child payment, projecting that more than 60,000 families could miss out. That disparity is most pronounced among children between 6 and 15, with only 80 per cent of that age cohort estimated to take the payment up, compared with 92 per cent for under-sixes. The child payment was unanimously supported across this Parliament, but the payment only has the ability to change lives if people are aware that they are entitled and crucially are supported to apply for it. Therefore, I would ask the First Minister if he is serious, as he says, about tackling poverty, will he investigate and address his concerning disparity between eligibility and uptake of the child payment to ensure that it has the fullest impact that we all support? Given an assurance that this is a key area of focus for the Government and the Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice and I have had a conversation already, there is already good work being undertaken in relation to marketing awareness to make sure that we do everything that we possibly can so that every single person that is eligible for that game-changing intervention does take it up. As I mentioned already, I was in Castlebray high school only this week, talking to school children, talking to parents who have benefited from that positive intervention. We have made excellent progress in the extension of the Scottish child payment to under 16 statistics that I have already said show that 303,000 children were in receipt by the end of March, but I can give Paul Cain an absolute assurance that we are working hard to do what we can to continue to raise awareness so that everybody who is eligible can take up that game-changing Scottish child payment. Following FMQs today, I will be holding a member's debate on encouraging women and girls into STEM. Given the importance of STEM, in particular to the north-east economy and its role in Scotland's transition to net zero, what action is the Scottish Government taking to motivate women and girls to pursue careers in STEM? I thank Audran Iker for the excellent work that she is doing. I apologise that I can't make the event later on. We know, of course, that the more effort we put in relation to STEM and ensuring that we get more women and girls into STEM subjects, it is beneficial not just for them but for the economy going forward in Scotland. There is a range of interventions that we are taking forward. I would be happy to write to Audran Iker with the detail of all the interventions that we are taking forward in relation to that particular issue, but it is an absolute win-win. The more we invest in encouraging girls into STEM subjects, the better it is for the economy as a whole, and everybody benefits as a result of it. The First Minister knows that many experienced staff are departing the private and voluntary nursery sector because those nurseries receive lower fees than those in the councils. During the leadership contest, he promised to close that gap. Is he going to commit to delivering that, as he said, in the next budget for 2324? Is he going to keep the promise? Willie Rennie is right. I promised to look at the issue and understand very clearly the concerns that are raised, particularly by the PVI sector. He will have heard from a previous response that the minister, Natalie Dawn, met with the sector just recently. Willie Rennie may also be aware that, despite having the highest rates in the UK in 2022-23, both the Scottish Government and the local government recognise the need to strengthen the process of ratesetting. We are working with COSLA to take forward an evidence-based sustainable rates review, and that will be reporting to students. I am absolutely determined, absolutely focused, to ensure that we are supporting the PVI sector, which is so crucial in helping us to expand that exceptional offer of free childcare right across the country. That concludes First Minister's questions. Very grateful. When failing to answer Douglas Ross earlier, the First Minister said that the UK Government has given, quote, not a single penny of funding towards the Scottish cluster or the Acorn project. Anyone in command of his brief would know that the UK Government has in fact given over £40 million to the Scottish cluster. In light of John Swinney voluntarily correcting the record following his misleading the chamber last night, would the Presiding Officer advise the First Minister on how he might correct his latest gaff? The members will be aware that the chair is not responsible for the content of members' contributions. Of course, we would always expect that the contents of responses address specific questions put, and that where members become aware of any inaccuracy, they take the measures that are available to them in order to make any corrections. There will be a brief suspension before we move on to members' business.


Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the Everton News Daily. This video is sponsored by One Football. One Football is that makes it possible to keep up to date with all the latest transfinition stats and scores all in the one place. To download the One Football app, click the link in the description. Marco Silver is given his pre-match Huddersfield Press Conference. He was obviously asked about the Millwall game at the weekend. He spoke about zone of marking again. It seemed as though he didn't really want to dig any of the players out, but he kind of read between the lines he did put it on the players. And rightly so, it's all about responsibility at the end of the day. Yes, he's to blame for various parts of Everton's play, but they are also for not doing their jobs. Quite simply, if you see a Millwall player on his own, go and mark him. And for he had dumped Chase the One Ball. And that's kind of what he said. He said players need to fix it, they need to be responsible and we'll see how big their characters are this week. Because for me, Everton needs to win both of these games, these next two league games, to get the season back on track. Essentially, it's done. We can't win anything. The race for seventh is on. And it's about finishing as high as we can. It's about showing the supporters that they're bothered about playing for Everton and showing their ability as well. What he did say, Marco Silver was yet to mean it is doubtful for the game tomorrow. The foot injury is getting assessed again by the club doctor. So, quite clearly, he's not going to be available tomorrow night, which means that Everton will continue. I should imagine with Kertrwm and Michael Keane over there. He also said that Everton rejected the bid for Garnet. PSG got in touch with Everton on Sunday, reported 21.5 million pound bid. Marco Silver said Garnet isn't for sale. Paul Joyce has tweeted that Everton won £40 million plus for Garnet, and therefore would probably accept that. And he probably would if PSG came in with that. Everton might accept £30 million for Garnet, who knows. But one player who's been linked coming the other way is Munier, the right back. He's been linked with Everton in the summer. And linked again, obviously, looking like he's saved us to requirements at PSG. So, we'll have to wait and see whether anything develops over the next three days, basically. Jeng Towson is also reported to be interesting. Crystal Palace, Huddersfield and Cardiff City scored after coming off the bench on Saturday night. He may start, like Huddersfield do knows. You know, Marco Silver wasn't really drawn on anything to do with Towson today, but it'll be interesting to see whether he's forced his way into the manager's plans. No-one's really taking that centre forward role.  Would you play Towson tomorrow night? Or would you stick with Dominic Calvert-Lewan or put Richard Ellison back off-front? There are options, basically, aren't they? And finally, Yannach Balasi continues to be linked with a move away. It is being reported that he knows he won't be playing for Everton Football Club again under Marco Silver. Newcastle very, very interested in taking Balasi up to St James's Park. Crystal Palace also credited with an interest in the winger. So, we'll have to wait and see. It's a massive game tomorrow night. Everton need the win. And then, suppose all the attention will turn to transfer deadline day on Thursday. Will Everton do anything? Let me know what you think. Do you think we will or do you think that is it? It's this squad till the end of the season. If you haven't subscribed, please do so. It takes a second and if you want more videos, get over and join us on Patreon. Thanks for watching.

You can ask your dad if he remembers the one he was with I doubt he will I doubt he will um I was trying to go through all of my accounts and see Which ones could possibly have um People I need to actually spin these guys. Otherwise they're gonna get kicked afk kicked And that would not be ideal Is that all of them spinning? It is cool. Um But yeah, if there's anybody in chat join us and run dwargon in the commons You'll see you'll see this mess of people Mainly mainly the um the vortexes the vortices Hold up. Let's see if there's anyone on this account that is level 30 There may not be Has to be 11 at least 11 people at least level 30. Yeah Yeah, and if one person at the moment declines then this is only level eight. Oh, no Oh, no Hold up need to find another account. I have too many whiz accounts That's what it's come to actually did I trade this one? I must have yeah, I must have tried that one um That one isn't it unless this one has it I have too many whiz accounts. That's what I'm learning today And they're all low level Um, yes We'll try this one. I don't know if this one's gonna work Don't know if this one's gonna work, but we'll see we'll see Trying to find which accounts I have that uh Have level 30 whiz is it's quite difficult. Who would have thought? Who would have thought? Who would have thought? Let's see Let's see Whiz takes so long to load. Why why? Why so long to load My gosh, look at this man's gear as well Level 25 Is not actually too bad Surprisingly this gear isn't terrible I'm quite surprised by that honestly.    Let me check this account first and then I'll um check and see if I can find you Are you in the commons? Level one level one level five and level level nine Okay, that was a completely free to play account. That's good to know That's good to know right. I'm out of accounts tragic Let's see Let's see if I ready and we'll join I'll I'll hop on a mount so I'm not being creepy Or something I'll add I'll ask to add her as a friend and maybe she will We'll see we'll see We're going on a hunt for um We need to go on a hunt for um felix See where felix is We must find felix iridian iridian doesn't want to join a guild iridian hates me. This is tragic. This is tragic and devastating Unless she added me She did not add me tragic. I'm caught up. I bet I can find you You're behind one of these I would say Or down here Nope I'm sure I can find you. I'm sure I can find you. There are all of my alt accounts What is your character's name? Do I know who I'm looking for? Did she actually say she hates you? No, but she didn't accept my friend request, which means she hates me It's just how it works It's a hundred percent how it works Where have you gone? There you are. I found you I don't know you could go that far down here now.  We're one away One away This is devastating This is devastating Oh my I don't have any more accounts Tragic Tragic um I wish I had one more All I need is one more person Yeah, because we've got 10 here plus this guy who I think is the one that keeps declining We'll try it again real fast Um And we'll see frigid penguins Maybe maybe Maybe maybe Maybe 10 10 Oh my gosh, we need two more to click. Yes We need two more to click. Yes. The two people who have who've sent requests to Click. Yes Click. Yes Who's this Level 10 not used to me not of used to me at the moment Tragic The two people who have got um Requests you should click. Yes right now You got both your yeses in that's good. We're waiting for two people two people Two people or one people. It's not me, right? No, it's not me. It's not me. I've clicked all of mine I've clicked all of mine. We're just waiting for those two people To click.  I'll probably explode Probably explode not gonna lie Not gonna lie Two more people 10 of 12 was a good start. It's better than last time Better than last time That's for sure better than last time Which account are we on this one? This one we can do it hopefully maybe possibly Whoever it is that hasn't accepted you should probably do that that would be very cool That would be super cool if you could Because then we can go to guild house and it will be great It'll be amazing and great Amazing good and great and all of the above that would be cool AFK maybe Maybe it's not me I've got all of my characters on Says 10 out of 12. Yeah Says 10 out of 12 as well. We're just waiting for two people and I don't know who it is I don't know who it is I have no clue who it is I've done it on all of my accounts. So I don't know I don't know we're waiting for two people Someone's gone afk Tragic You're trying to get someone right now Okay We might have to to Hold up. I'm gonna quit and rejoin Since those two people have gone afk and I can't add any more people until I can't Try again until people have either declined it or done it Oh Interesting It doesn't actually count until you actually log out log out Maybe I don't know what happened Yeah, same I went on my alts and all of the naming thing is on screen, which is interesting That's very odd That's strange. I think that might be a bug that we found That's funny Your wiz glitched out. I clicked um I clicked um cancel I clicked cancel on that um your keyboard Did I break Did I break did I break everyone's game? Oh my gosh You can't move. Oh no. Did I literally break everyone's game? It showed up for everyone.  Oh my gosh. I broke everyone's game Oh my gosh, that's so funny. What did you join in to we found a bug Where if the person who's creating a guild goes to character select menu um And then logs back in instantly Um, everyone gets shown the guild creation name while creating a guild Everyone gets shown the like you can pick a name and then apparently it like completely bugs out You still can't move Oh my gosh, hold up. Let me just let me hold up Let me log out of my account real fast theoretically. This should break it This should break the guild theoretically I see what you mean I see what you mean. It does actually break. I don't know what you were seeing there. That's interesting That's a very interesting bug that I found That's a very interesting bug That's a very interesting bug. I'm glad we're bug fixing or finding bugs Yeah, everyone log out of the game and rejoin and it should hopefully fix itself. Maybe probably hopefully Yeah I'm sorry. I didn't know that would happen I didn't I didn't think that that would possibly ever cause a bug like that because that's just a bit ridiculous in my opinion That's a bit ridiculous um That's kind of funny Kind of hilarious it sure is it sure is sure is Yeah, I had absolutely no idea. I apologize for breaking your game and I hope it's not continually broken forever because That would be very bad and then I would feel real real bad But I had no idea that would cause a thing You're back and everything's working That's good Um, welcome welcome goes by goes by j welcome. How are you? How's it going? How are you today? Um, you walked in at a very awkward time where I broke everyone's game So that's cool It's funny now that it's fixed. Yeah Yeah, that was I apologize if anyone was in a fight I really do Because that is not cool not cool right finally load finally load Finally load Um, there we go. You can see it now You can see it Which makes 11 people quit whiz not clickbait imagine Imagine kind of funny crazy crazy Right Okay, let's try that again Maybe this time it'll be better um We made the other guy Nathan who was on the last who I thought it was but it probably wasn't and I'm just thinking out loud um this account I just need to log into all of my accounts now please hold Please hold if you do want to join a guild just join us in um In round organ In the commons And we'll be cool and stuff together um I was in the midst of getting my final judge veg bed, but it's fine. Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry um Just found my channel today instance sub from the arc reviews. Nice. Well, I'm glad I'm glad you enjoyed them There'll be one for lemuria coming sometime in the next few months Um, there's a ryan again.  Um it goes by j Do you want to do you want to join a guild of cool people? Because you can you can just find me and run for an odd drop me a tfc and chat and I'll invite you We're trying to set up a guild right now um Yeah You've never been in one nor has anybody here.  Hello paul ice Come to my friends list sweet Okay, we just need 11 people online So we just need to wait a sec need to wait a sec If anybody else wants to join the guild now is your time While i'm trying to get all of my characters here again You come to rummed worgen Come to rummed worgen right now. You can join guild no expectations Nothing. It's mainly a guild for those people who don't want to be in a guild um You have to be level 30. Um plus In order to do join in order to join um So just be warned by that Account oh my gosh, let me into press enter and tab please Yikes, you think you got someone exciting That's a perfect description of me a guild for people who don't want to be in a guild exactly I don't like playing with other people generally Um like in games generally, so this is a guild for those people who don't really want to be a part of a part of a guild So there's no expectations. You don't have to donate anything. You don't have to talk to anybody But if you want to be a part of a guild you can Um, but there's no expectations of like actively doing anything inside the guild So, yeah Does guild require a member? No, no, you just have to be level 30 Just level 30 Just level 30 Just level 30 Why is my stream like Is my stream dying for anyone else or is it just me? just uh Just a question It might just be me. I think it will just be me, but it's just a bit disconcerting You got a friend logging in right now amazing Amazing right we need two more people Two more people died for a sec kinder It's probably because i'm playing like six different whiz at once honestly What up? I ended up switching off all of this sound. It's getting a bit overwhelming now Okay, as soon as we make this guild I can hop off like a whole bunch of my whiz accounts And that's probably what's causing it at the moment um Let me close you real fast It's honestly what's causing it most likely. I need one more person I can get one more account on At the right at the risk of my stream dying You got no whiz friends. That's okay. I do freeze occasionally. Yeah, okay probably because I've got like Seven accounts open or I had seven instances of whiz open. Hold up. Let me just turn My um Where is the thing what am I looking for what am I looking for texture detail low and then texture detail um Low Is that a bit of is that better youtube? Are you happy now? Are you happy now? Maybe not really Maybe Right, we need one more person I can get one more person I can be that one more person Um, but yeah, if anybody else has friends at level 30 Just get them to come here and add me And then we can do it We can do it. It'll be great Um Stream is healthy. I'm glad. I'm glad youtube. I'm glad. Um Let me just go to the smallest screen size as well Okay That might help a little bit That might help a little bit Um, okay Is that better Is that better or is it still dying? Having account issues so sad.  I think I think I should be able to do it if I get this account logged in Don't worry. We've got it. We've got enough people theoretically As long as everybody here wants to join a guild. I'm going to get my account in just as well just in case Just in case Just in case and then we can do it um I've tried to I've tried to put um All of my screens is to like all of my windows as tiny as possible So hopefully there shouldn't be too much of an issue With um youtube being bad and not picking up enough Okay, here we go Create guild the uh, what was it called?  Yes Yes Yes Right Insufficient numbers. No who declined.  I think so. I think so I think so But where's this this account? I just need to get them spinning A bit right.

Otherwise I might I may not know who you are I thought she gave it to you first round. Did she change that? They changed that Maybe they did maybe they didn't right. I've got balance. Ha ha balance and storm And balance Amazing right So basically we just whack her with these spells the blindfolded spells problem solved easy peasy and we win Super easy fight super straightforward By the way, if you don't do that you get turned into a statue Which is very fun, but um, it's very hard to get out of So, yeah, so yeah, it's cool, but also not cool at the same time Fun fact 192 Does this do less I thought this did more on um on test drum.

Let us know Put it in discord and we can sort that out. Hopefully So, yeah, yeah, that is cool very very cool What I'm going to try and do is I'm also going to try and um craft a whole bunch of tapestries for the um guild house So we can have like a tapestry to literally everywhere So I'll try and work on that on stream over the next wee while I'll start my crafting grind The grind begins for tapestry crafting It'll be great and then we can have a crazy teleport hub in our guild house. It'll be fantastic Will be amazing that did way too much damage Yeah, she does a little bit of damage Um, you gotta get a stitch because it sucks right now. Nah, don't worry Don't worry Don't worry about that was a good hit.  Holy moly Holy moly Imagine um Does the housing item elixir work in the guild house? I don't know That's a good question That's a very good question to Ask I'm not entirely sure I'm not sure at all. I would assume it might but I don't know I feel like that's something that I want to test, but also I don't want to test at the same time You hope it does I do as well because then we can add extra stuff like a lot of more stuff and yeah Storm okay, okay fire okay And fire okay, and fire Fire fire fire storm Fair enough The blam At least she's got two weaknesses Right storm. What is it gonna be? Let's find out Let's find out. What's it gonna be? Uh-oh snake charmer This is pain This is painful You want to go first thing fun. Look, but I don't know where to start um Um, I saw a stitch the other day. I can't remember where it was Um, I can't remember if it was in a video or not It might have been Oh, it was on reddit. When was this posted? I think It may not just been the other day This was three years ago um This was three years ago. Here's the here's a kind of steam punky sort of thing Um, I don't know if that's kind of the look you're going for but that's an interesting one I saw another one sometime last week, which is kind of cool Um Yeah Kyle oh my gosh. Oh my gosh kyle GG Wow amazing three azoth nice Three azoth and also the aquilum wand athena queen calypso You get so many so many spellements. I love it. I love it. It is amazing. It's very cool, right? Amazing and then basically with this azoth. I went to the wrong house Won her festus. Although You should have got around like 15 ish Of them um I got two her festus Four her festus Which isn't too bad Shift home Shift home There's a pack hat that's here with goggles. There is so basically with this. Um, you can put this in here Um, and you can click on it and then you can add three and donate. Yes, and then the number goes up to 19 Um, and as soon as we get all of that done to I think it's two or three wizards for this one can go and cast magic touch cantrip Um, which is this one here at it And it'll it'll unlock the thing which I think for this one is just a daily reward azoth thing, which is kind of cool um So yeah, that's kind of how it works I hope you can Join on our adventure. We have a we have a um World gate uh ty ty ty very cool. We have a new world gate, which is great. We can now go everywhere. This is fantastic Um, if you think of anything else that we need to add to the guild house We're all up for ideas and feel free to add stuff as well Um, if you want to become a decorator, let me know on discord and I will um add you as a decorator Um, but you're seen back. Thanks. I thought I did I didn't But I thought I did so that's fun That's fun But yeah, anyway That is that is all for today because I think rose is going to be streaming sometime Because it's actually her stream day and I kind of kidnapped it a little bit and I apologize for that Um But yeah, anyway, thank you for helping build the guild very cool If you want to donate you can if you don't want to that's also fine um, I'll be streaming tomorrow And we'll do a whole bunch. We might actually start the crafting grind for Um for getting tapestries in here and I'll start donating a whole bunch of tapestries So we might start that tomorrow, which could be kind of cool Um, so yeah crafting content imagine crazy. But yeah, anyway, thank you for watching. Hope you enjoyed Uh, subscribe if you haven't already probably have but if you haven't subscribed Uh, we should make an enroll In your discord if you're in it I feel like if you're in the discord Generally you should probably be in the guild. If you're not, that's fine. Um You can donate a few tapestries. Nice. That would be cool. That would be cool Um, I'm gonna try and have all of or as many of the tapestries as we can I think that would be very cool to have and then we can have like a really quick transport network for everyone um Yeah, and I might even I probably won't demolish mine in my house, but I'll probably craft a whole bunch um So yeah, if you want to donate anything, I think you can without having decorator. I think I could be wrong with that But if not, just message me in discord join my discord message me on discord. It'll be great Um, and yeah, that'll be cool Um, but yeah, anyway, I'll be streaming tomorrow same time as today. It'll be a longer stream Um, and yeah, thank you for watching and as always remember to craft outside the box
