To be clear it is a £40m project with £20m from Ryanair, £15m from the Scottish government and £5m from the UK government. The key figure credited with organising the Ryanair–Prestwick deal was Kate Forbes, Scotland's Deputy First Minister.

📢🛫NEWS UK Government Minister @kirstyjmcneill was at Prestwick as @Ryanair announced a £40m investment made possible by the UK Gov’s Ayrshire Growth Deal. This expansion is securing 1,200 highly skilled jobs by building Ryanair’s largest heavy maintenance hangar in Europe.

🧼 STAIR CLEANING (or lack thereof). 👍 My motion to explore in-housing this core service was passed at Full Council unanimously. Council tenants and those who opt-in are paying for a service that is poor at best and completely missing at worst. Let’s sort it out 💪

Scotland's vision is clear: to be a country that confronts racism at its roots. Ahead of @UN International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, @ScotGov has published its new Anti-Racism Delivery Plan. ➡️ ow.ly/o4Ja50YwIZZ

I know many Muslims feel increasingly fearful for their safety across the UK. However, I know the vast overwhelming majority of people see our diversity as a strength, not weakness. In that vein of solidarity & defiance, can I wish fellow Muslims across the world Eid Mubarak.

Excellent read below re potholes from @MhairiHunter . Also applies to Edinburgh. Public health considerations of increased walking, cycling infrastructure are significant. More people getting around under their own steam = less pressure on SNHS.
Mhairi Hunter 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇺🇦 🇵🇸@MhairiHunter

I'm going to do a thread about Glasgow, potholes & how supporting safe cycling (& walking) can help, which will probably make a lot of people shout at me.

The Scottish Fire Chief's condemnation of Anas Sarwar's "inaccurate and alarmist" comments about the Glasgow fire is the third major story that damages Labour be suppressed by BBC Scotland in a week. The other two were the 'devo attack' memo and Joani Reid. The evidence of something very serious is going on at BBC Scotland is now overwhelming. From where we're standing it looks like institutional political bias.
MSM Monitor@msm_monitor

Radio BritNat Breakfast has closed down the Joani Reid/China spy arrests story. Missing from all news bulletins for the second day in a row. Reid, a Scottish Labour MP, suspended herself from the party late yesterday. A HUGE development just ignored by the duo below.

We rescued Ferguson Marine to save jobs, and we are determined to see it succeed. Today we have set out proposals to award four new vessel contracts to Ferguson Marine – to secure a pipeline of work, protect jobs and strengthen the future of shipbuilding on the Clyde.

@djohnsonmsp Shameful reaction from Labour’s candidate. Anonymous complaint, she cooperated fully with the investigation and has heard nothing since last Sept. I thought you would be more understanding about being a neurodivergent candidate but hey, Lab plumbing the depths - again.
