Okay, so we know now that the council tax in Glasgow is going up by 7.5% and we know the effect and we know the reason. The effect is some folk will...
Glasgow City Council’s budget for 2025/26 will be set this week and it will be done amid the ruins of the budget for 2024/25. The council has...
It was Theresa May who worried, some 20 years ago, that the Tories were becoming the “nasty party”, but let me tell you about a few of the things...
We were told this week that the cost of the replacement for Barlinnie will now be £998.4m, but we’re not fooled. We know supermarkets price things...
You may have seen my piece the other day about a cap over the M8; lots of people told me they support the idea, but the day after the piece was...
I knew it was bad but not this bad. It’s early afternoon, about 1.30pm, and I’m standing in the middle of the road to take a picture. I can stand...
People sometimes accuse me of being negative about Glasgow when I talk about the state of the streets and the litter and the ruined buildings and all...
It was Tom Baker, the greatest Doctor Who, who said that going into WH Smith makes you want to open a vein and I know how he feels. Sunday morning....

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....
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...
