Scottish Parliament suspends all voting over Microsoft outage
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"Voting has been suspended at the Scottish Parliament following a significant Microsoft outage. Holyrood's Presiding Officer said technical issues meant MSPs were unable to vote on Wednesday evening. The Downdetector website has reported significant spikes in outages impacting the Royal Bank of Scotland, BT and Asda. It also reported thousands of issues with Xbox, Minecraft and Azure all owned by Microsoft. Heathrow is also reportedly experiencing issues."
