It's been an utterly abominable 24 hours for Brexit news: - The UK gave up on negotiations to extend our trade deal with Canada, leaving us worse off than when we were an EU member bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-6… - New incoming border checks will add £200 million a year to the cost of our food and drink. eastangliabylines.co.uk/brex… - MPs were warned that the EU's upcoming ETIAS/EES border systems may lead to 14-hour queues to enter (the rest of) Europe from the autumn. itv.com/news/2024-01-25/traf… - There were warnings of possible shortages of flowers for Valentines Day because of the new incoming border checks. news.sky.com/story/roses-are… - A plan to extend visas for British expats in France from 90 to 180 days was blocked by France's Constitutional Council court (a decision which has no right of appeal). lbc.co.uk/news/french-court-… - Rishi Sunak's pledge to ensure no future laws can create a border down the Irish Sea has gone down like a bucket of sick in TUV quarters. (And has sent the blood pressure of the usual suspect Brexiters sky-high.) belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/… - The EU's plans to increase bulk medicine procurement across the bloc risk creating shortages in Britain because they have very significantly greater buying power than the UK does. theguardian.com/science/2024… Phew!

In #Poorthings this famous Glasgow address is home to Godwin Baxter, a Scottish Frankenstein who resurrects a lifeless woman found in the Clyde. In the 2023 film, Godwin is played by the very non-Scottish, Wilem Dafoe 😆 #TheAlasdairGrayArchive #PoorThings #PoorThingsWalkingTour

Though the upcoming #poorthings film doesn't take in the sites of the original novel, you can! Follow #TheAlasdairGrayArchive's self-guided walking tour. Here's part 2 of what I got up to following it yesterday. #TheAlasdairGrayArchive #PoorThings #PoorThingsWalkingTour

In advance of its cinematic release, The Alasdair Gray Archives have produced a self-guided walking trail, taking in the key location from his Frankenstein-eque tail of Victorian Glasgow, 'Poor Things'. #TheAlasdairGrayArchive #PoorThings #PoorThingsWalkingTour

Why is that #OVOEnergy only let you 'adjust your #directdebit' up and never down. Used £120-£150 of #energy per month the last couple of months, but no no, you must still pay £300 a month. Remember the days when I only paid £80 a month fondly...same house, same circumstances 😡😢
