My application is in for the Bowls Scotland PR job. I love the bowls!!! @glasgow2026.bsky.social
An image of bowls rinks at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games with captions "Bowls Bolws Bowls! It's like curling, but less slippy. Glasgow 2026".

Warning, were it needed, that public ownership of services is not a panacea - Scotrail doing well again. Just such a consistently poor-vibes company.

Extra irksome because, while Returning officers are almost always Local Authoritiy Chief Executives, they (at least did and I believe still do) get an additional payment for it. One could say a task you always do but virtue of your job is part of your job...and that you should do it properly.

WHAT LEGITIMATE CONCERNS! Anas should have resigned the minute he conceded in May; he now really shouldn't be given the privilege.

In Scotland, Labour led the charge to abolish Clasue 2A/s.28, against fierce and well-funded opposition, both political and social. And now, we're actively making life worse for people becuase it's tricky and difficult to make the arguement, and we are actively afraid of nuance.

1 week after the Scottish Election, and the person who has benefitted most from the chaos and indecision of UK Labour is, undoubtedly, Anas Sarwar. There has been barely a public peep about his own leadership - which given the result 7 days ago, is long overdue.

The scars carried byt the Corbyn years by those who stayed are deep and will take a long time to heal. It's an often understimated factor when trying to assess personal-relationships in the Labour Party.

I would hope the Democrats would step up, but they won't. They'll say he's flouting International and US Constitutional Law to distract from The Epstein Files.

Transwomen are Men. Transmen are Women...unless they look like men...in which case they are men...but cannot use services for men because they are women. Gender is innate and sex is biological reality...unless it's about how you are percieved...in which case it isn't. That's that cleared up then.

What's the Win Condition for this horrific stuff from the Government? When Reform are Happy? When Asylum numbers fall? What are we looking to actually achieve - because at the moment we just look performatively and needlessly cruel and callous.

The UKSC unanimously holds that the Scottish courts adopted an unduly narrow approach to the admissibility of evidence which might be inconsistent with Article 6 ECHR in some cases BUT that neither appellant in this case had an unfair trial. Full judgment to come shortly.
