Had fun speaking to @BBCRadioScot ScotCast about the debate surrounding to Scotland’s 48% tax.
Thanks to @mmgeissler for having me on. bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/m…

Enjoyed this conversation, particularly the segment discussing whether it’s possible to imagine a future for Scottish Labour or if that point has long since passed (naturally, this led to a broader discussion about social democracy today). Thanks to @ConterScot for having me on.

(2/2) At the time, Sturgeon's SNP and the Scottish Greens lauded the auction. Both have been very quiet ever since.

(1/2) Today, the Herald reports that the share of ScotWind cash to be spent in Scotland has tumbled once more by a further £6bn. Multinationals are opting to invest in cheaper foreign supply chains.
This was entirely predictable. Many warned about it in 2022 but were dismissed.

Andy Burnham's appointment of Anas Sarwar reveals the shallowness of his efforts to "end neoliberalism", says Coll McCail (@McCailColl).

Each pitch, for example, could have been made at any of Scottish Labour’s many post-referendum leadership contests. There’s an evident intellectual vacuum thus far. Mind you, that’s not limited to one party.
English
Where?
Surely the thread which runs through the respective pitches for leadership thus far — and Daniel Johnson’s op-ed today — is the distinct absence of politics, with the premium placed firmly on operational fixes and handwringing.

Lily Lynch (@lilyslynch) at the NATO summit:
'Absent the propaganda of a youth-driven drone tech revolution in war, Ukraine looks in a remarkably similar situation to Russia: two countries hurtling toward demographic oblivion, in a conflict directed by a profiteering political elite and fought in part by the unwilling, the coerced, the foreign and the old.'

Only public ownership and control can solve Scotland's bus procurement challenges, says Coll McCail (@mccailcoll).

Scotland’s data centre boom is accelerating rapidly. That’s disastrous for our resources water and energy resources. But more than that, it will turn our country into an outpost for cloud capital.
I’ve written about why for @bellacaledonia. bellacaledonia.org.uk/2026/07/14/big…

@johnadgrady That’s nice, John.
Did you ask him about “the management culture at the college” and its “detrimental” impact on staff?

The City of Glasgow College provides fantastic opportunities for our young people through technical and professional courses.
I was delighted to visit the Cathedral Street Campus last week and meet with Paul Little, Principal and CEO of the College.
