So sorry to read this. You’ve put in some shift, always been a voice for workers and socialist principles. You’ll be much missed.

Love it. That’s my plan from now on. Think I forgot the contingency tatties! See you in 2025. X

You need Sam Fender and Johnny Blue Hat Davis in your life!

Bawled at Sunshine on Leith. Those opening bars get me every time. But with an orchestra too, wailing!

I’m not sure. I think having a Scottish Government makes the landscape quite different to the days of the Regions. But, it’s a very good question and perhaps the model in Greater Manchester where Councils work together but without a Mayor is worth looking at.

if we do. And you’re so right the play-parks of Glasgow just don’t compare with those in the leafy suburbs but I still take Bellahouston Park and a bog-standard Glasgow Secondary school with socio-economic and cultural diversity than Rouken Glen Park and a “top” school every day of the week! 4/4

clubs close to home. I don’t want to see charges for museums and galleries, for using the Clyde Tunnel, I want our theatres to thrive, but the people of Glasgow can’t bear the burden of their cost alone. The residents of the leafy suburbs will find that their Glasgow fun will be much curtailed 3/x

stayed and got stuck into supporting our kids schools and making them better for all. It still rankles that swimming lessons and other sports clubs got booked up fast by the sharp-elbowed parents of the suburbs, denying local kids whose parents didn’t have cars to ferry them about and needed 2/x

Brilliant piece Dani. It’s a political problem, I agree, and to the shame of politicians off all shade that the City of Glasgow and her population is in the state we find ourselves. But it’s also personal, we had friends take flight to East Renfrewshire for “good” schools, we love Glasgow so 1/x

Was at Nile Rodgers & Chic in the Barrowlands on Wednesday night. They did Spacer. Was off the charts brilliant.

I was amazed by the amount of chat going on in the crowd. They are great live, what a sound for 3 folk to make, but it did feel like you were mere bystanders to their performance.

My other half saw them at The Academy in Glasgow and was raving about them so I tagged along for The Hydro show. I enjoyed them, but your review is spot on. Wish I’d seen them at The Academy.

I’m hoping so. I’ve downloaded threads but I’m not convinced by it. Only been a few days on here, but so far so good.
