Double shift today supporting my Labour colleagues Maureen Burke in Glasgow NorthEast and John Grady in Glasgow East. Tremendous response on doors in Springburn and Sandyhills.

Excellent review by Ian Pye of ‘Reckoning’, the latest album by R.E.M.

On behalf of Glasgow Labour Group, Eid Mubarak to all Muslims celebrating across Glasgow.

We wish you a wonderful Eid al-Fitr celebration.

I taught William at Garthamlock Secondary in the early 90's and he played football for his school team. A great guy with a heart of gold. I hope he can pull through as he still has so much to give. Thoughts with his family at this challenging time. 0

I have heard the news of Willie Limond being taken to hospital with a seizure. Was meant to meet Willie only yesterday morning to discuss his ideas for Ruchazie Community Centre and was worried when he didn't turn up. A lovely young man who never forgot his East End roots. Pray.

I walked past this mural today. St Thenue being guided across the Firth of Forth by a shoal of trout. Her shawl features 29 motifs in tribute to 29 women from Glasgow’s east end who died in Templeton’s carpet factory in 1889 when a wall collapsed into the weaving shed. #Glasgow

Great squad out today, despite the weather, for our tremendous Labour candidate Maureen Burke. Good to be back in Craigend which was part of my first ever Council ward..

Best way to get respect for island communities? Vote Torcuil Crichton for Na h-Eileanan an Iar.

Add in another solid session from lunchtime today and it's been a good week with contacts. Many switches from SNP to Labour happening.

Small faces,All or Nothing

The vocals on Steve Marriott absolutely incredible
What a band

Another remarkable achievement by the SNP government. Fingers on the pulse always.

Top notch tunes on this wee belter of an album.

It’s been a couple days now so if you haven’t seen the latest episode of Curb keep scrolling but I need to acknowledge how awesome and hilarious Springsteen was in this scene with Larry David and Jeff 🤣

Not given as much appreciation as it should have had. Investigate and enjoy.
