I don't usually upload Full Council videos but why not, I suppose. Labour today were even more of a shambles than they usually are.

This is genuinely pretty jaw dropping. All I see on Facebook is that Glasgow is dead/nobody comes to Glasgow any more etc which certainly doesn’t match what I see in town, it’s good to have the figures backing it up.

Lewis is away this weekend so I’m taking myself on a lot of solo dates and trying to wade my way through books thicker than my (admittedly narrow) wrist.

Scotland is the only part of the UK where child poverty is falling. Imagine what the SNP would do with a third decade in power.

Incidentially in her budget speech the finance secretary did use the word "mitigate" rather than abolish, tho I doubt the families in receipt of these benefits don't care what verb is used to describe it. The point about the DWP having the data may (!) shine some light on why it wasn't done before

🗳️As voting for SNP constituency candidates closes, thoughts turn to the regional lists. I'm asking SNP members in Glasgow, to give me their support when regional ballots open. 🏴 I'll be a candidate who'll campaign and fight for all of Glasgow, putting us at the heart of the campaign for independence
