Middle aged, grumpy, putting on weight & a hairline retreating faster than the French at the first sign of a German Panzer. Rangers daft, indie music lover 🇬🇧

It’s 1982 and the late great BOB HOSKINS takes Barry Norman along London’s South Bank and makes clear his feelings about the avaricious property developers who were about to swallow whole almost the entire area. I miss Bob.

@theSNP This is the equivalent of having a leaky roof and capping the price of buckets, it does nothing to solve the root cause of the problem.

The SNP@theSNP·16 Nis

A re-elected SNP government will put a price cap on a basket of essential foods in large supermarkets, so families can afford the essentials and no one is priced out of a balanced diet. Make it #BothVotesSNP on May 7 for a government that’s on your side.

@JohnSwinney What will that do to farmers facing rising costs themselves? Farmers are not exactly rolling in cash, and many do struggle to turn any kind of profit. Is there assurances that Scottish farmers will not have to bare the cost of this policy?

We will cap prices for essential food items, and cap all bus fares at £2. We will further improve our NHS, with more GP walk-in centres across Scotland. And we will bring hope with the fresh start of independence. The SNP is on Scotland’s side 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 snp.org/manifesto

@PaulJSweeney It's going to go the same way as Haghill Primary.

Paul Sweeney@PaulJSweeney·13 Nis

It is disheartening to see the ongoing state of dereliction of Golfhill Primary School in Dennistoun. Despite planning permission being granted in 2024 for the development of 18 much needed flats, there has been no evident progress on this conversion. I will continue to push Spectrum Properties to restore this iconic building and bring it back into use for the benefit of the community.

The truth is demand for a slot on soccer am would be much higher now than it was back them. I could imagine every woman with a OF page, (which I am willing to bet they are both absolutely fine with) would want to be on therefor the exposure. We live in an weird world now, that some folk think the women that went on Soccer AM or In the pit lane at a formula one is exploiting women, but getting naked and doing extremely graphic things for money online is empowering them.

@getstuffedtwit @NotFarLeftAtAll I bet you still want free education though. Let me ask you a question. If there's kids living in their parents homes and the homes are worth over a million. Should the parents sell those homes to pay for their kids university tuition or should university places be free of charge?

It's not homophobic, it's a gay based joke, you could say it's in bad taste but it's not homophobic. Its no worse than an edgy stand up comic would say. I would stake my soul on it there will be employees at the National who have told jokes like this down the pub and it wouldn't bother me in the slightest it's just and edgy joke. Remember National, there's always a Tweet.

111 Union Street should be replaced by a larger and grander building that meets the roofline of its neighbour. It should be built in a Glaswegian Victorian style. It’s possible, despite what weirdo architects and the developer lobby will tell us.

That sounds like an admission arts, media and literature are dead end courses. If you are rich you can probably afford to attend a dead end course. If you're from a less well off back ground it would make infinitely more sense to study for degrees that pay well. It would secure a better long term future.

English

Labour Right Watch@LabourRightWtch·23 Şub

- This will mean that rich kids can study arts, media, literature to their heart's content, but people from ordinary families will be unable to afford it. - Freedom to choose for the wealthy only. - That's definitely a 'two tier' policy. Classic Toryism.

Years of disinformation and deception about the closure of the People's Palace symbolises the contempt that the SNP holds Glasgow and its working class history in. They closed the museum two years ago to start refurbishment works, despite the funding to do it not being in place.

Go Radio@thisisgoradio

The reopening of one of Glasgow's most historic attractions has been delayed indefinitely after it missed out on Scottish Government funding. The People's Palace has been closed since 2024. A three-year refurb was meant to cost £36m but ministers turned down a request for around 12% of that in last month's Budget. They did find £80m for three projects in Edinburgh. Glasgow Life say good progress is being made on the People's Palace project. The Scottish Government say they're working with the organisation to understand its status.

The High Court has confirmed what we all knew: proscribing Palestine Action was unlawful. The state must stop using “counter-terror” powers to criminalise solidarity and intimidate working-class people out of protest. The Labour government must lift the proscription now and drop every case NOW. We will not stop until Palestine is free, from the river to the sea 🇵🇸✊🏽

Last night scum stole the statue of my Grandfather Teddy Baldock Britain's youngest ever World Boxing Champion. The statue was unveiled outside the Langdon Park DLR Station in Poplar, East London. Years of work and a stunning work of art by the sculptor, the late Carl Payne will be sold for scrap and melted down. Please retweet in case we can recover it.
