The RAAC scandal! What is the concrete crisis, and what if it was you and your family? Have a watch and PLEASE sign the petition before time runs out tomorrow. (Link attached)
It’s not just Aberdeen - this is Scotland and possibly UK wide. #trappedbyraac

My dad died Christmas 2024. Loyal to the SNP for his whole life. For his 70th we got him a letter from Sturgeon thanking him for his devotion (he stood as a candidate as a teen, & was out canvassing in his wheelchair as a pensioner), and he was still recalling stories of

Thanks Michael. Appreciate this incredibly.

I am clear that only with the relentless coverage from @LLBruce @pressjournal did we get a deal for those affected by #RAAC. The constant focus on individuals and their families forced @scotgov to press @AberdeenCC to change position. Congratulations! 🍻

Note to self: when posting about winning a journalism prize and you can’t edit, don’t post at 1am!
Of course there are typos 🙄

And my incredible P&J colleagues won best coverage of a live event for Aberdeen’s Cup final coverage, and our @courier_dundee fam took home the biggest prizes of the night, Team of the year (1st and 2nd place) and newsbrands of the year.
What a night for @DC_Thomson 🔥

FYI, you're talking to a ghost. I died at 6.35am when my husband returned from the big Tesco with today's @PrivateEyeNews, and I then discovered I made it onto the Paul Foot Award shortlist!!! #Paulfootaward

Chuffed beyond words to be included in this year’s @PrivateEyeNews Paul Foot Award long list for our @pressjournal Trapped by RAAC campaign and investigative work. To say I’m in good company is an understatement.

A political EXCLUSIVE from me today: the SNP will today announce its plans - at the very least - to pilot bowel cancer screening for younger people.
Energy Sec Gillian Martin has been campaigning behind the scenes since her beautiful sister was diagnosed - too late.

You'll have no doubt heard about the Sobr bar in Aberdeen, whose manager was done for drink-driving. Here's my thoughts, hopefully with enough heart to hear where I'm coming from... pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/opi…

😱 I’m also slightly overwhelmed to add that I’ve also been shortlisted in two other categories, again, all relating to my work on the Trapped by RAAC campaign.
The Women in Journalism Scotland Nicola Barry Award, and Regional Journalist of the year!
Delighted and humbled…
