““Glasgow is slowly becoming a hollow shadow of the thriving, radical and creatively edgy place it once was. At a certain point you have to ask what kind of city we are choosing to become” www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Is Glasgow losing the spaces that made it an arts powerhouse?

The closing of a cluster of leading creative venues has led to dismay and intensified fears the hubs that fostered Glasgow’s celebrated arts scene are disappearing

I love this so much! And thoroughly concur! A magnificent restaurant. Already feels like such a titan of the Edinburgh dining scene, I love it so.

Migration is part of what makes this country great. We're not an island of strangers - we're an island of neighbours. The Green Party will always support fair & managed migration.

Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran. Iraq lessons must be learned. Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe. Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.

When you think about it for more than 5 seconds, it really is both insane and outrageous that *HILLARY CLINTON* - a woman who apparently has never met with nor corresponded with Jeffrey Epstein was one of the first people deposed.

The Gorton and Denton result is fantastic for several reasons, but easily the funniest one is that the Tories got so few votes that they LOST THEIR DEPOSIT.

Graphic with a purple background. There are two pictures of cut out open mouths.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
