Thinking of the trade unionists across Ukraine for this year's May Day March and Rally 🚩

There's only one Ukraine - and it's 603,628 km².

Grateful to Aberdeen Central CLP for sending my motion to #ScotLab25.

Despite what some in our movement believe, there can be no peace without justice in Ukraine.

We must continue to back our Ukrainian friends with money and weaponry to take back their country.

Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

Discovered yesterday that, in some cruel Shelbeyvillian twist of fate, Dundee has an imitation version of Aberdeen's famous Thain's Bakery - Bayne's Bakery.

Your helpful reminder that Aberdeen's draconian anti-drinking laws will not apply temporarily between 6pm on 31st December and 6am on 1st January.

Happy New Year.

And so begins my Christmas tradition of doing all my presents shopping on Christmas Eve.

Glad to be joined by every other panicked man, husband, brother and son in Aberdeen in Boots, it would appear.

I look forward to Freedom of Movement for under-30s returning just as I turn 30, and never having the opportunity to live or work in the EU.

Very, very, very fed up with Brexit.

It's 10 years this evening since I started working at The Grill as a student.

I left five years ago, but I owe much to the customers, to my bar staff colleagues and to the former ownership. Lots of change since then, but still a good Guinness on tap at HQ.

Sláinte.

After 28 years, I can quite honestly say that I've never felt quite as old as I do now!

My thanks to all those who took the time to wish me a happy birthday today.

Great to get down to the Sjømannskirken in Aberdeen today to chat with Bernadine Allison and others in the Nordic Scot Business Network about Aberdeen District Explorer Scouts planned expedition to Norway in July '25, and how local Norwegian businesses in Aberdeen can help 🇬🇧 🇳🇴
