🚨 NEW!

Our report out today concludes rent controls can ease the pressure on renters, without jeopardising the private rented sector. A rent control could:

- Make renters nearly £1200 a year better off by 2030
- Reduce the housing benefit bill by £600m

Here's how 👇

Good article in today’s @heraldscotland by journalist Mark Smith, on the student housing proposal in front of the Mackintosh, which asks: “why are we building an anywhere building in somewhere that really matters?” And he’s right. Why are we doing this 🤔?

4.3 million children are in poverty

UK govt won’t see progress on child poverty by 2029 even with high economic growth 📢

Our analysis shows under our central scenario only Scotland will see child poverty rates fall by 2029 in large part due to social security policies 1/5

[This Is My Glasgow @is_glasgow]

Garnetbank Primary School on Renfrew Street in Glasgow. Designed in a Free Renaissance style by Thomas Lennox Watson, this school was built in 1905. I love the curved central bay and the tall windows.

Built in 1875, the ABC's wanton destruction has come to symbolise everything that's wrong with this city.

Glasgow is watching as its history is destroyed in front of its eyes.

The Wetherspoons, named after the original Henglers Circus, now holds the upper hand in class. Madness

[ScottishCinemas.org @ScottishCinemas]

A sad image of demolition of the ABC by @laurakaykelly helps show construction layers. A is 1929 concrete & brick solid box cinema foyer. B is remains of c.1927 dance hall facade; revealing more of C, oldest curved part from c.1875 Diaroma & predates the Art School. D added c2002

📢 Our latest report finds that the Scottish and UK governments are failing to use their powers to reduce poverty.

- Over one million people experiencing poverty in Scotland.
- One in four of the people in poverty are children.

Read our report: https://t.co/QMpN4ruY3Z

[The Herald @heraldscotland]

'The engineer said the ABC was structurally sound. The tin roof is quite lightweight, while the concrete dance floor and the façade are both fine.

'It could easily have been rebuilt. Why were they so desperate to be rid of it?'
