Really impressed with DEPARTMENT Q so far. So cool to see so many talented people working in a really well crafted Netflix drama. Really impressive production, the Edinburgh locations, the music, and of course the writing... It's the coolest thing and I'm glad it's out! Well done to all involved!

Attended the cast and crew screening of Dept Q (ep. 1) last night.

5 stars!

For those with a keen eye, catch me in a few episodes. Just don't blink ;)

Thanks to director Scott Frank for the opportunity, and my agent Rozzy at Narrow Road for arranging the meetings.

There should be no doubt about the danger Reform poses in Scotland. It has reach across large sections of society, across class divides and demographics. It will win seats here. It may even become the party of opposition in Holyrood. It is not England, it is here. Ignoring it won't make it go away.

Thank you to everyone who came along to the private screening of my short film, KINAARA, at the Glasgow Film Theatre last week.

Congratulations to cast and crew, without whom it would not have been possible to transform the film from script to screen.

No second state visit for Trump This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...

Unbelievable.
Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK.
We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man.

Perhaps on that date, a door was opened that would eventually lead to the end.

It has been a week since I completed a sold out run of 'Miracle on Deanston Drive' at Oran Mor in Glasgow.

Missing the routine and the fantastic team!
