The Glasgow Looking Glass - published #OTD 9 July 1825 - an artists' impression of the proposed John Knox Monument and Necropolis in the then Merchants' Park.
The old Fir Park had been bought by the Merchants' House to alleviate the the city's overflowing Medieval graveyards.

The Problem with Modern Art:

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

12 years of cruel Tory rule inflicting pain for the many to feather the beds of the few.
Johnson should resign now but real change can only come when the Tories are swept away and replaced with a peoples Government to redistribute wealth and power.

Please add your name to the petition demanding an end to "fire and rehire". It's a loophole that lets companies fire staff and rehire them on a way worse contract. Please add your name: https://t.co/bK21SYgjf6

Thanks to everyone who came to our opening night. We had trade unionists, sociologists, historians and most importantly several of our contributors came along. See more of you over this weekend. 🚩

The magistrates’ decision to order the extradition of Julian Assange to the US to face 175 years in prison is disappointing.

Priti Patel will now have a choice: to stand up for journalism and democracy, or sentence a man to life for exposing the truth about the War on Terror.

Word of the day is ‘quockerwodger’ (19th century): a puppet figure or individual whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else.

[Nicola Sturgeon @NicolaSturgeon]

A despicable policy on its own terms. But add the fact that it’s being set out today to distract from #partygate and you see the utter moral bankruptcy of this Tory government laid bare. Shameful.

[Scottish Refugee Council 🧡 @scotrefcouncil]

We are appalled by today’s announcement that the UK Government will seek to offshore the UK’s asylum system to Rwanda.

This is state sanctioned violence in practice.

There are moments when utter loathing for Johnson breaks its banks.
Comparing Ukraine’s tragic fight for its very existence with voting for Brexit is one of those moments. Johnson is a revolting, shameless disgrace and needs to fuck off as far as possible and as soon as possible.

thanks @laurenlaverne for a terrific chat on the Maths of Life today - here is the paper on sex differences in immune responses: https://t.co/nhHWxTyZVy

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

Slashing the funding of a beloved national treasure just because you don't like the headlines on the 6 o'clock news is no way for a responsible government in a democracy to behave.

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Word of the day is ‘sparple’ (14th century): to deflect unwanted attention from one thing by making a big deal of another.

[Liam Thorp @LiamThorpECHO]

Excellent from Chris Bryant: "So he didn't spot that he was at a social event, that's his excuse? How stupid does he think the British public are?" #PMQs

[Full Fact @FullFact]

At #PMQs, Boris Johnson once again falsely claimed that there are more people in work now than there were before the pandemic. Including all paid workers, there are around 500,000 *fewer* people in work.

'His defence that he didn't realise he was at a party is so ridiculous that it is actually offensive to the British public.'

'Is he going to do the decent thing and resign?'

Keir Starmer goes for the throat at #PMQs.
