Record View says Holyrood’s housing emergency will not be worth the paper it is written on if nothing is done to make more homes available.

The Scottish Government must take action to tackle soaring rents. Far too many tenants are facing ­extortionate rises, with many on the brink of homelessness as a result.

Alaina Paterson, from Edinburgh, saw her monthly bill for her and a flatmate rise from £1750 to £2250. These increases are unsustainable. But at the root of this crisis is a lack of decent affordable housing. The Scottish Government has declared a housing emergency. In the meantime, the Scottish Government should bring back the rent cap which was scrapped in April. The alternative will be a sickening explosion in the homeless population.

Across Scotland and in Cologne, the whole country is willing us to win. Our fans have been world-class during this tournament, with police and local authorities full of praise in Munich and Cologne.
