Amazing semi-final at the World Curling championships as Scotland beat Canada 7-4 to progress to the final. What a shame our national broadcaster only shows it online, there’s no TV coverage. I guess that’s colonial MSM once again. #curling #Scotland

Glasgows Thistle Service (the Safer Drug Consumption Facility) has exceeded expectations. 1067 access visits & over 700 injections supervised (H & Cocaine). Some Ambulance call outs (have prevented deaths), & some have just accessed a hot shower and housing support etc. Trust is being built…2/

Hey @itvnews.bsky.social the views of drug users were pivotal in the design and delivery of Thistle Unit in Glasgow. Your broadcast interview showing a disabled IV drug user for your bulletin is abhorrent. No doubt consent was requested (and incentivised), but this is offside. Don’t do this.

We’re working hard to avoid it, but if opposition parties block the Budget, the consequences are devastating:

❌ NHS funding slashed
❌ Cancelled operations, pay rises at risk
❌ No winter heating payments for pensioners
❌ Halted progress on teachers, housing & the A9

Glasgows Safer Drug Consumption Facility is a breakthrough in UK Harm Reduction. Not the answer to every problem, but a key component of wider HRed efforts to keep people alive, engaging them into a suite of co-ordinated support. New podcast by colleagues at SDF: www.podbean.com/pu/pbblog-2e...

Top 20 golfers in the PGA Hero World Challenge and a Scot is in the top 10 and is playing amazing (apparently)……but #skysports and #pgatour are only showing us four players. Five if you include Tiger Woods maybe six, his son……..
Could you only afford two camera crews ??

Today in Edinburgh, I shared my vision for Scotland’s future.

✔️ Eradicate child poverty
✔️ Grow our economy
✔️ Deliver net zero
✔️ Improve our public services

This is about delivering hope, ambition and progress for everyone in Scotland.

BBC Weather gleefully reporting a 22 degree temperature difference this morn between ‘North and South Britain’. Tell me again how the UK Winter Fuel Allowance cut is the right policy for elderly Scots? Shameful policy by Liebour.
