Reposted by KAL SABIR ✊🏾Jack MacGregor @jmacr.bsky.social · 30/05/2025Really 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! 131

Reposted by KAL SABIR ✊🏾Jack MacGregor @jmacr.bsky.social · 27/05/2025There 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. 052
