Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 2hI see Ricky Bell has finally broken cover to slate a union for trying to protect its members. Russell Martin levels of impact after his appointment to the big gig. 000

Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Liam Gallagher sniping at Jim McDonald from Corrie over on the other place. The World Wide Web is some place. 010
Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 29/09/2026If we’re talking genuine justice, Man City are playing League Two football next season. Won’t happen because money talks. 110
Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Build good infrastructure and people will use it. The Voi bikes or variation of them have to be baked into any future transport planning. Keep them affordable and it will only grow even more. 031
Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The very best of luck to the “please do not speculate” lads on the RAF Fairford thing 😆 Poor bastards look like they’ve been out nicking fuel and a local busybody has nearly had them machine gunned is the most plausible looking theory. Fake sign on the van, barrels etc. 060
Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I realise that this has been paused, but I still don’t think this guy has said anything on this subject yet. Mere days into his tenure he has proven himself unfit to lead our city. Zero leadership shown. 100
Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Mentioned it last week on a different issue, but it’s hard to think of a more out of their depth minister than Chris Bryant. Truly hopeless. 040
Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 26/09/2026History will look extremely kindly upon Gavin Bazunu. A brave and principled man. 051
Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 26/09/2026John Collins finally knocked the Just For Men on the head, I see. 010
Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The shade from the stands is very annoying to the eyes at the Scotland game here. 000
Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Good. Absolutely outrageous tactics by the council to even float the idea. 000
Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I’m really sorry for you @colinedgar.bsky.social. Must be hellish. Nobody forced the council to threaten the workers with fire and rehire an hour before September weekend. Acting like a Thatcherite stooge is still acting like a Thatcherite stooge, even if you’re doing a sad face with it. 000
Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Get fucked. Labour are absolutely responsible for starting the fire, but it’s an SNP council putting fire and rehire notices through the doors of thousands of workers. Own it. 131
Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 25/09/2026The fact that Ricky Bell has said not one word on the bomb dropped on 23000 Glasgow City Council employees yesterday is nothing short of an absolute disgrace. Cowardly. 100
Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Now, pure rage would be an understatement at how I’m feeling about the SNP and Greens on GCC tonight, but this takes the biscuit. The arsonist standing at the scene of the crime trying to tell the fire brigade what to do. 032
Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Class start to the September weekend. Big line through the ballot paper has never been more tempting. It’s Labour’s fire, but trying to put it out by pishing on the people trapped in the inferno wouldn’t necessarily be the tactic I’d have gone for. 100
Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Load of the Scottish seats will stay Labour when it comes to the crunch. We’re back in “keep the Tories/Reform out” territory when it comes to UK elections in Scotland. Labour will misinterpret what the result means and then be annihilated further at Holyrood and local level. The cycle continues. 010
Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Know what’s class? See when you cancel your bank card, believing it lost, only to find it in one of the most obvious possible places. 000
Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The drug crisis can never be fixed without a serious and mature policy discussion that involves truly radical change. We’re over half a century on from the Misuse of Drugs Act being introduced and we’re largely playing by the same rules in a changed society where significant research has been done. 1103
Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Your occasional reminder that only one side of the independence debate resorted to fascist violence following the referendum result. 250
Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Watched that War Game thing against my better judgement btw. Absolutely awful. So bad that you couldn’t look away. All of them so bad at being stuck in between acting and trying to appear normal. Worth a watch, purely to laugh at everyone involved. 010
Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Blair McDougall losing his shit about East Ren being brought under the Glasgow umbrella ticks a good number of boxes for me being in favour of it. 110
Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 21/09/2026If we’re doing smaller local authorities, I think it’s crucial that they’re given the most obscure names possible. 100
Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I realise this is extremely late and you’d need to be nearby, but I’ve a spare Saint Etienne ticket for the Barras tonight. Free of charge if anyone wants it. My body simply will not permit me to do three nights out in a row. 120

Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Twelve years ago around now, three stone lighter, two operating knees and marginally less cynical, I was knocking doors in Mount Florida in the most pointless “get the vote out” in history. Everyone was going, everyone was enthusiastic. A great day, followed by a gut punch. Still and always Yes. 020

Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 17/09/2026British politicians truly have no grasp on how to handle the sensitivities in the North of Ireland. When you snark like this, you’re not snarking at a political party. You’re doing so at 50% of the population. It’s basically saying “we’re in charge, know your place” to the nationalist community. 158516
Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 16/09/2026If I’m ever in any danger, the alert to call the authorities and send help will be “I’m going to that night in Coatbridge with Angus MacNeil, Alex Neil and Tommy Sheridan.” 120
Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Can you even begin to imagine taking the day off work, Dumfries to Dingwall, back down the road at 3.30am. I’d have been in the Mallard at 4-0 and possibly faking my own death. That bus back 💀💀💀 040
Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 15/09/2026See this bollocks from self-proclaimed “sensible” voices. The Good Friday Agreement was nearly thirty years ago. People voted for peace and Sinn Fein were part of that agreement. If it was ok for Ian Paisley to be in government with them, I’m sure it’s fine for anyone else to talk to them. 810124

Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Serious point on this Proclaimers stuff. How do you go from music that is essentially about solidarity and railing against Thatcherism, to what ever the fuck this pish is meant to be? If you’re a socialist, your instinct is surely to stand with and protect all minority groups? I don’t get it. 160
Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Saw Tony Blair emerged from his crypt today. He both looked and sounded terrible. Wee boost to take into the weekend. 000
Andy @andykp.bsky.social · 11/09/2026There’s a certain type on the Scottish left who you will never see laying into the right. You’ll see them laying into other folk on the left for the way they talk or whatever, but never actually having a pop at the actual enemy. It all screams of envy at not having the public profile they desire. 142
