🚨 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 👌.

Hello #Edinburgh twitter, does anyone have a recommendation for somewhere city centre that is public but quiet/private enough to have a sensitive chat with someone?

£6.40 (16/17y/o)

While this is nowhere near where it needs to be, it is still the biggest increase (10-21%) to minimum wage in its 25 year history.
