2024: Starmer in, Yousaf out. Energy prices down, energy prices up. More fighting in Ukraine, more fighting in Gaza. An assassin fails in his attempt...
We have been here before. A woman is attacked by a dog. She is treated at the scene but the medics cannot save her. Her friends and family talk about...
Look at it now: girders stripped of stone, gaping windows, doors to nowhere. Every now and then someone stops to take a look but most people are...
I was up in Inverness recently stopping people in the street and asking them questions, as you do, and one thing that kept coming up, because I kept...
It’s the borderlands: the moorlands, hills and forests where Ayrshire becomes Galloway and where, in the last year, there have been several...
If you haven’t been to the new Perth Museum yet, do go. Very good. The exhibition about the Stone of Destiny is particularly lively but I remember...
I met him, once. First impressions: not good. Skin: thin. Self-esteem: high. Self-awareness: low. Saving grace: the odd good one-liner. He said people...
Shoplifting in Scotland is up 25% in a year and yet the news has created barely a ripple. People walk into shops, they steal, they pinch, they nick,...
We’re starting to get our first impressions of Russell Findlay, the new leader of the Scottish Conservatives, but one of the first things I said to...
The first thing I did was check whether the windows were real because you’ll remember that when Glen Sannox was “launched” in 2017, the windows...
If you want me, I’ll be in Magpie’s Nest, and if you ask nicely I’ll take you across the road to the Pearce Institute for a plate of chips as...
Ask me what I hate. Lots of things. I hate that the Scots pay higher taxes than the English. I hate that so many people still eat animals and abuse...
The Scottish Government, now largely free of the influence of the Greens we think and hope, has ditched some of its plans on wood-burning stoves. The...
I don’t want to imagine what it’s like to go and visit the grave of a friend or relative and discover the cooncil has slapped a gummy, gaudy...
The council in Glasgow is asking residents to help clear leaves off the streets and the way people have reacted to the idea is revealing. Call it the...
Full disclosure: I went to private school, my parents paid the fees, the education was good and I’m sure it improved my chances and opportunities....
Right, let’s see what all the fuss is about. I jump in the car and drive along Paisley Road West and there it is. A big hairy man and a big hairy...
You may have read my opinion piece the other day about the A9. The thrust of it was that the Scottish Government is committed to dualling the road for...
Today’s the day, or at least it should have been. The UK’s first drug consumption room was due to open in Glasgow this week but it’s been pushed...
Next time you’re stuck behind slow-moving traffic on the A9, do not clench your teeth, do not swear, and do not, for heaven’s sake, attempt a...
Everyone is talking about their last encounter with Alex Salmond so I’ll do it too. It was late last year, we talked on the phone a couple of times,...
I remember the day an English person I used to work with who doesn’t speak to me anymore found out that I am not left-wing. “You’re not...
The fact the police could do something in the name of solving crime doesn’t mean they should. The police could, if we allowed them to, fingerprint...
Let’s drop everything and go to a garden centre; it always ends well. Two of the best? Gemmell’s in Ayrshire and McLaren’s near Glasgow, and...
If you think you know Byres Road, I recommend you do what I’ve just done and take a stroll along it with Barclay Price. Barclay is an author and...
It’s funny how they always use the language of war. “Living in fear”. “Attack”. “Bombardment”. They also say that we should get them...
I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you how awful the Scottish ferry fiasco has been – the delays, the over-runs, the over-spends – but what we...
I’m in the Gorbals and the first person I bump into is Monica from New York. She’s visiting Scotland for a while and has come for a wander round...
Everyone’s talking about the 10th anniversary of the 2014 referendum and because I’m easily led, I’m going to do it too, and for the purposes of...
I’m not particularly proud to say this, and it’s taken a while and it’s been a bit of a struggle to be honest, but I appear to be out of the...
Is it just me or does Scotland feel a bit 1990s just now? I watch John Swinney, I speak to people in the SNP, I see the predictions for the next...
There was new research this week which found that British national pride has declined sharply in the last ten years or so. The number of Brits who...
I’m going to be honest here: when I first saw the new bridge going up between Govan and Partick, I wasn’t happy. The project includes a new plaza...
Ten years since the independence referendum. So what do I remember? Watching Gordon Brown in Kilmarnock doing one of his last-minute, save-the-Union...
People are never asking me how I come up with the ideas for my columns so I’ll tell you: I come up with the ideas for my columns when I’m sitting...
You may have seen the hopeful pictures the other day of a group of female medical students newly arrived in Scotland from Afghanistan. You may have...
There was talk over the weekend about the rise in council tax that’s inevitably coming when the current freeze – announced last year by Humza...
I know, you know, he knows that Alastair Campbell is not a man people feel neutral about. Mention his name to friends and family, as I did when I was...
You didn’t ask but here’s my story: I moved to Glasgow in the 1990s and my first thought was: this rain, is it normal? I lived in Finnieston...
We know the risk to the buildings in Glasgow because we can see it for ourselves. The flames shooting out of the terrace on Carlton Place this week....
Glaswegians are used to the sound of an explosion and a building being turned into rubble and dust. You may remember 2014 when there were plans to...
We all know things aren’t going well for councils in Scotland and that they’re about to get worse with the bin strikes, but the question is how...
The writing is on the wall for greyhound racing according to an MSP who’s introduced a bill to ban the sport and maybe he’s right although I have...
The man who fitted my dishwasher the other week used to work on the bins in Glasgow and told me how one day – in a story revealing him to be the...
It’s such a pity the word independence has no Rs in it because Stephen Flynn is good at Rs. He takes his time over them. They rattle and rev in his...
Quick memory. 1996 or thereabouts. I’m standing in the old Daily Record building near the Kingston Bridge in Glasgow. Top floor: above the bridge,...
England are through to their second successive European Championship final and play Spain on Sunday evening. So who should Scots fan support? Here...
Has everything changed? The numbers say so: SNP down from 48 to 9. Labour up from 1 to 37. The headlines say so: “Keir Starmer wants new positive...
This is weird. Labour has won, the Tories and the SNP have lost, and Liz Truss has been rightly punished for putting up my mortgage. So why don't I...
May the 22nd. Rishi Sunak, sans umbrella, announces the date of the election and John Swinney, all nice and dry indoors, says that calling it during...
