🔍 We've spoken to staff, volunteers, and patrons of the Mitchell Library. What we found about its condition makes for worrying reading about Glasgow's most celebrated public resource.

Rooms closed, basements flooded, is the Mitchell being run into the ground?

Off to Durham for the weekend. Mad seeing Reform-adjacent facebook posters trying to manufacture a culture war about a Palestinian speaker on the platform (while the local Reform admin has not been invited) - as if the mining unions engaging in international issues is somehow a new thing (it is not)

A fortnight ago, people in Royston turned out to protest against news a local building was being turned into an “illegal migrant hotel”.
The only problem? It was completely false. So what happened? @everebecca.bsky.social investigates

Whether by car, bike or on foot, if you've been near Cowcaddens subway station, you'll have likely seen the perma-works on the M8 that now blot the Woodside Viaduct.
With a completion date 'under review', motorists and residents alike have one question: when will they end?

It is 50 years to the day, 24 May 1975, since the "Battle of Paisley Road" in Glasgow, as around 100 anti-fascists were arrested while blockading a National Front meeting. Many then escaped from prison and went straight back to the demo! As told in detail in my new book... glasgow1975.bigcartel.com

little did I know when I stumbled across a film set while heading up Ben Cruachan on a grey day in June 2021 that it was going to turn out to be one of The Great TV Shows (Andor). Incredible show all the way through.

Andor is just so good! Enjoying @seantcollins.com recaps. "It’s frankly astonishing how well [they] create a taut and tragic political action thriller, working within the contours of the Star Wars sensibility and aesthetic while making them feel fresh and new." decider.com/2025/05/07/a...

In 1975 a National Front fascist shot dead a Jamaican man, Hector Smith, in his home in Glasgow. Weeks later, over 100 trade unionists were arrested as they picketed an NF rally at Kingston Halls.
