Something I never dreamed I would write: I have a six-page feature in the new edition of @TIME magazine. It's connected to the 30th anniversary of Fall of the Berlin Wall. It's published together with a piece penned by Mikhail Gorbachev.

I’m not even Scottish but what a moment a what a bit of iconic commentary

Has anybody on here had a deal to buy a home in Scotland collapse at the last minute? Perhaps within days, or even on the day, of moving in? If so I would be very interested to talk to you for an article I'm working on. DMs open and email address in bio. #journorequest

I can understand why people love “Scandi socialist utopia does it better” stories, and I wish more of them were true (some are). But the housing situation in Stockholm is just as savage as anywhere else.

[Malcolm Jack @MBJack]

I am happy for this man but this story is completely misleading. Uppsala is in no way “Stockholm”. Nobody arriving in Stockholm is getting a rent-controlled flat without being on a waiting list many years. Even if they do it won’t cost anything like £630. https://t.co/Qr0wJv90zo

Very much enjoyed Michael’s book, and for a change asking him some questions that weren’t “what do you think about bebra?”

Scotland’s media so needs this. I for one totally support it. Get behind it any way you can. A simple RT would be a great start - 👇Further calls to Culture Secretary for a public interest journalism institute - The Edinburgh Reporter https://t.co/uYNXLYFsVG

@JohnWilson14 @BBCRadio4 Hey John, can you follow me for a DM about this please? Thanks.

[Malcolm Jack @MBJack]

Springsteen’s 2024 tour dates didn’t have surge pricing to my understanding, and were reasonably priced (I got a standing ticket for about £70) so fair play to him.

[Malcolm Jack @MBJack]

Like most people it seems, I had a bad/unsuccessful experience this morning (and afternoon) trying to get Oasis tickets. Reminded me of this @BigIssue piece I wrote last year about Ticketmaster/Springsteen. Even angrier about it all now than I was then.
