Glasgow city council’s property company forces the closure of a jewel in Glasgow's arts scene just a month after we lost the CCA. Short-sighted cultural vandalism and totally unacceptable.

In 2024, Scotland exported £7.14 billion worth of food & drink, equivalent to £1288 per person. By contrast, England exported £12.12bn, £207 per person. Scotland’s food and drink exports per head are more than six times that of England’s, and on a par with France.

“Idiocy, incoherent, and self-defeating. Anas does not have authority to speak on behalf of the Scottish party in this way. It’s a fucking shitshow.”

If Sarwar can't command the respect and co-operation of Scottish Labour then he himself must resign.

Reminder: it was a certain Gordon Brown who bestowed a peerage on Peter Mandelson and appointed him as Business Secretary in his cabinet. Mandelson had already been sacked twice from high office for scandalous behaviour and actions. Mr. Brown would prefer that we forget this.

I don't know if Epstein was working for the Russians, as our media seems keen to persuade us, but I do know that a spy was once found dead folded inside a holdall in a bathtub and news outlets told us that he put himself in the bag and padlocked it from the outside.

It's rather illuminating to compare how the UK media reacts to the possibility that a socialist might have some power somewhere versus how it reacts to the concrete reality of a literal madman tearing down the American-led post-WWII global order.
