Years ago I found this photo of my grandparents in 1960s Melbourne & I’ve dreamed ever since of getting it tattooed. Well I did it! I can’t thank the incredibly talented Emily Thomas enough for transforming it into ink form - it is everything I’d hoped for & so much more. ❤️

From Rochdale in 1844 to Downing Street today. For the first time in history, a Labour and Co-operative politician leads the country. Congratulations to @andyburnham, Britain's first Labour and Co-operative Prime Minister. 🐝

We are disappointed that the @SNPforGlasgow Group voted against extending the time to discuss Glasgow’s Queen’s Park Glasshouse despite significant public concern. Rather than allowing proper scrutiny, they chose to hide behind procedure instead of addressing the issue.

As a former member of the Royal Regiment of Scotland, I am ashamed by the crass refusal by Glasgow City Council to grant the Freedom of the City of Glasgow to the Regiment on its 20th anniversary. There are hundreds of serving and former members who are Glaswegian. We lost friends in Afghanistan and Iraq. Half of Scotland’s 32 local authorities have already granted Freedom status to the Royal Regiment of Scotland. Next month, the Regiment will receive the Freedom of Dundee. I hope Glasgow City Council will reflect on this tone deaf decision and reconsider it.
Astonishing that @GlasgowCC has voted to deny the @The_SCOTS Freedom of the City of Glasgow, breaking a tradition that Glasgow has had for generations. Apparently giving organisations Freedom of the City is “inherently problematic” according the Glasgow SNP group.

🇪🇸 NEW: Spain is showing how to unlock co-ops at scale. ✅ Make them easier to run ✅ Back them with law ✅ Recognise community energy and housing co-ops For co-ops and the wider social economy, this is how the model grows.

A lithium fuelled fire is a statement of the obvious, which was quickly established by speaking to first responders on the scene last night and which has been clearly documented by open source footage. Given the shop has been destroyed, there isn't much left to investigate there. – at Glasgow, Scotland

🎥: The extent of the damage to the buildings linked to Central Station isn’t clear yet, Scottish Labour MSP Paul Sweeney says there will be lessons to be learned. 🚒: However, Glasgow City Council Leader Susan Aitken is urging people not to speculate about the cause 👇

Nope, we just asked the Scottish Government to pay for it after you put Council Tax up by 5.9%. Stop dumping SNP bills on Glaswegians.
Labour Councillors have this morning tried to block @GlasgowCC staff from having the World Cup bank holiday off.

Alternatively Glasgow residents can actually read the @Labour_GCC amendment which merely asks for the SNP Government to fund their own policies - Labour doesn’t expect Glaswegians to foot the bill - especially after being hit with a 5.9% council tax rise on Tuesday.

All MPs enter a ballot to be picked for a PMQ - you have the same chances of being called as the rest of us. I note though that you came out the ballot for DEFRA questions this morning but didn’t show up to ask your question….
PMQs today will be rigged again by the Labour party. I will sit in the gallery.

Well, that didn't age well. Proud to see the Employment Rights Bill pass the Lords today.
65 Labour peers didn't turn up. One even joined the exodus to live in Dubai. That's why you lost the vote, Angela. You can't even get your own Lords to vote for this dreadful Bill.

The motion raised @GlasgowCC by @Paul4Linn to highlight our work in schools & our #Britishindianarmy memorial outside @KelvingroveArt (phase 1 complete) was supported by many councilors including @AChristieSNP, @EvaCMurray & @CllrGrahamC. C motion read ➡️: glasgow.public-i.tv/core/por…

Shocked by reports of Israeli authorities entering @UNRWA’s compound in East Jerusalem. This appears to be a blatant disregard of Israel's obligations to protect and respect UN premises. UNRWA must be able to continue their essential work supporting millions of Palestinians.
