1st day of the summer holidays and this big new expensive sports facility is…eh, locked. Shocking that a huge chunk of the park was taken to build this facility which is left locked with no access for kids. The loss and inaccessibility of the “third space” is shocking. What are kids supposed to do for fun when they can’t access these types of spaces. So much for a legacy of sport a decade on from the Glasgow Commonwealth Games.

I spoke to two wee girls who were inside and asked if there was an open gate. They giggled and told me how they got in (which I won’t type out so the council aren’t temped to ruin their fun and access). I spotted around 8 other kids wandering around looking to get in with no luck.

Such a shame to see kids without access to these expensive facilities which I bet were built with the intention of encouraging young people into sport.

5 days to go. Remember when senior Conservatives showed they don't understand anything about trade

"It was like walking through cold treacle backwards, dragging a heavily sedated bull elephant."

Earlier this week @Mark_logan1 reflected on how it might be possible to make progress in improving the teaching of Computing Science in schools.

Tory reaction to EU’s youth mobility proposal:

No kids. You can’t have those opportunities cos the foreign kids will get more out of it and might stay…
A truly tragic tiny-minded response. Govt trashes the place but swaggers around in the ruins slamming all the doors.

@AvantiWestCoast when is the 10:30 Euston->Glasgow actually leaving, or are you going to cancel it, and just not saying yet? Your staff at the station have no information.

[Mark Logan @Mark_Logan1]

@JordanParry96 @AvantiWestCoast @thetrainline Same with the 10:30 to Glasgow.. Avanti staff at Euston don’t know anything about the delay.

Time is money. If it takes twice as long to do something you earn half as much. This is the brutal fact at the heart of Brexit.

Let’s "Brexit" a £12.99 paperback, blow by blow, and see what difference leaving the single market has made.
