Following the price surge, the British right are pedalling a fantasy of self-sufficiency through North Sea oil. This has no serious basis in reality. Britain has been a net energy importer for 20 years. It has nothing to do with net zero and everything to do with decades of declining production🧵

Permanent closure of M8 in Glasgow among options for ageing 55-year motorway viaducts Spans may be repaired or replaced instead at cost of up to £500m

Closing the M8 has gone from out there idea to something apparently being considered by policymakers! Well done to @andrewhoolachan.bsky.social and everyone else who’s made that happen. www.scotsman.com/news/transpo...

Taxpayers should not fund any form of religious education. Don’t understand why CofScotland prayers when I was at school was the default position in a modern secular society. If you want to believe in magic fairies and impose arbitrary ethics onto others, do it in the privacy of your own home.

I can’t believe how little people get paid in London year days for third sector and think tank roles that require so much experience. Saw one the other day for £35K. £5K more than I was earning in 2015 in such an environment. Insane.

Yeah but I think times have changed in the last decade. Inequities like this have really gotten worse.

I’ve been trying to disentangle the energy and creativity of urban policy of the Blair years, from his darker politics for our students. Sadly for most people of a certain age, the better urban polices are drowned out by his foreign policy, PFI initiatives & allowing house prices to run rampant.

Unfair Bus Fares 2026

Today First Glasgow put single fares up to a whopping £3.25, leaving us with some of the most expensive buses in the UK 💸

How can ScotGov allow this blatantly unfair situation to persist? 😤
