CCP runs from the Kelly Burn (Ayrshire border) to Milngavie. It was built and is maintained by the Rotary Clubs of Allander and Gourock. Opened 2015 March 28.
❄️ Anas Sarwar backed the removal of the Winter Fuel Payment, and supported his MPs who voted for it.
💷 Now he is demanding that the Scottish Government finds the money to mitigate UK Labour's austerity agenda.
🥀 Labour cannot be trusted to stand up for Scotland.
The unwillingness by the media to highlight the fissures within Scottish Labour is because they want to push a United/Resurgent Labour versus a Divided/Weakened SNP. A Holyrood Labour Govt excites them.
The news narrative for Holyrood 2026 has already been decided. Splits within Scottish Labour destroys that predetermined United Labour v Divided SNP narrative, so they're ignored.
Scotland's pro-Union media will protect Sarwar to the best of its ability. The thing they didn't expect and can't control is Starmer's calamitous premiership and the UK wide news narratives.
As of 0735 Good Morning Scotland has made no mention of yesterday's winter fuel payment vote that exposed fractures within Scottish Labour. The blackout is all the more bizarre given one of today's news items is a warning about the cut from Age Scotland.
It follows BBC Scotland's decision on Monday to employ a similar blackout of analysis from the Child Poverty Action Group that found the two child benefit cap has pushed 10,000 children into poverty since Labour came to power.
BBC Scotland is, without a scintilla of doubt, a political entity with 'skin in the game' in terms of Scottish politics. It's anti-SNP and anti-independence. Its behaviour reflects poorly on every one of its presenters and reporters.
Great see the Welsh hills, erstwhile Brecon Beacons, are now called Bannau Brycheiniog. The ch is the fricative found in Bach and loch but it would good to hear a Weksh pronunciation.
Yr Wyddfa is emerging over Snowdon.
Ynys Môn (Anglesey) should be next.
Hope Douglas Ross is not too churlish today.Can criticise this and that but Nicola Sturgeon has been overall the most significant figure in 24 ScotParl years,never on backbenches until next week,and whatever your political views her ability and contribution should be recognised.
