The SNP has just won two council seats from Labour in Glasgow.
This week, Labour cut support for the most vulnerable - and boasted they were "doing things the Tories only ever talked about".
The people of Glasgow have had their say.

We need to stand squarely behind Ukraine.
The UK Government shouldn’t be rolling out the red carpet for Trump if he can’t back Ukraine’s independence. 🏴🇺🇦
