Great journalist job here for someone 👀

🚨 Ever since we raised money last year, I've been talking to a brilliant journalist in Glasgow about setting up a new title there. To do it, we need a second staff writer, so please get in touch if that's you. Given the drama of 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 politics right now, the timing feels 👌.

Big fan of Govanhill. My husband born and raised there. My first teaching job was there. Great to see this.⭐

Well done to all of the residents and local organisations for the incredible turnout and community spirit.

Incredible turnout at Govanhill #SpringClean this morning. Over 100 people litter picking and sharing a community meal in the sun. Thanks everyone for coming out and thanks to local shops who donated refreshments🍦
