A truly wonderful story. And, come on, admit it: you wouldn't raise even an eyebrow if your spouse spent around 5% of their post-tax income buying a pair of your old shoes. You'd think this perfectly normal behaviour and shame on those who think differently.
Exclusive: Sturgeon donated £290 shoes to SNP fundraiser…and watched Murrell buy them back for £4,000 dailymail.com/news/article-1…

📱 This is what the SNP’s people powered digital campaign was up against. Not only a well funded Labour campaign, it looks like there was international interference. Read more here. silicon.co.uk/security/cyber…

The Greenock Avenue entrance to Linn Park in my ward has been closed for far too long. This closure has shut off one of the safest access points to the park, particularly for parents with children and those with mobility issues. We need better action and communication from Glasgow City Council on this important issue.

No one in Scotland should live in fear due to the colour of their skin of their religious belief. The displays of hate witnessed in the city are the antithesis of the compassionate and welcoming spirit of Glasgow, and will not be tolerated.

Utterly, utterly shameful what has happened to this family and so many others. Attacked by a bigoted, ignorant, xenophobic and paranoid throng of thugs and bullies. Communities must come together to reject this chaos and division. Progressives need to spend less time fighting each other, and more time uniting to fix our country. Governments need to seriously look at the connections between social media algorithms, obsessive content consumption and consequent radicalisation. The online is offline.
This Ukrainian family moved to east Belfast from Kyiv after Russia invaded. Now they are moving again after violent disorder last night severely damaged their home.

I am really shocked and saddened that the lovely work done by pupils in Croftfoot Primary School in my ward has been subject to such vandalism. It is great to see that the community has rallied round to support the school and restore what was lost.
"It made us feel really upset to see all of our plants and plant pots thrown all over the playground" 😞

No sanctions on Russia. But yes, sanctions on Israel. Irish neutrality.
I asked a local councillor if the russian refinery here in Ireland should be sanctioned. He said yes, if it was supplying Israel. But Russia? No. This is Ireland’s sanctions hypocrisy in 90 seconds.

By dressing them in Jewish religious clothing when they’re not Jewish in order to ridicule them, esp when the objection to them is meant to be ‘political’. Read the Equality Act sometime 👍
