Who remembers when the inside of Glasgow Airport used looked like this?

When it snows in Scotland the snow turns the Bannockburn statue of Robert the Bruce into something magical.

Amidst the pretty classy adverts that probably dot your feed these days, here's something a bit more elegant: the lovely What Is A House For.

This is my interview with them about the beautiful Villa Savoye, trying to help us get it out of our system.

@edinburghpaper 1] It is NOT "making way for housing". 1]The asset value of the land exceeds the value of ongoing beer production. 3]The shareholders are cashing in the asset value and have closed the production of beer. 4] There are legal requirements in place for affordable housing numbers.

@edinburghpaper 'Around one fifth of the homes will be housed in the existing listed buildings, which we will preserve and restore to their former glory.'

Michelle Mone is a symptom, not a cause.

Billions were given in Covid contracts to Tory donors and allies.

The system that facilitated all this is not just unchanged - it's gotten even worse.

New from me on the corruption of British political life.

[Tom Scott 🇺🇦 @Tom___Scott]

Why is more attention not being paid to the fact that Michelle Mone's husband, Doug Barrowman, is a major donor to the Conservative Party?

This is a party that operates in a way that would be very familiar to major organised crime groups.

Argyle Street, Glasgow, 19 April 1960. I am daily posting images from my 1960 Glasgow visit, shortly also to include Edinburgh 1958-1960. See also my previous postings. Thanks to my Glasgow-interested friends for following. #Glasgow #Scotland #Edinburgh #upl29may21

@arqnetwork @AmicitiaProject @IrishGBC @ecologicalbuild @athenryheritage We had to manage what we could do as we lived in it throughout 😩 & the house is protected, so we went for:

- Slim glazed timber sash windows.
- Quadrupled attic insulation.
- Vapour open insulation + airtightness to suspended floors.
- Brought timber shutters back into use.

@stephen_coyne @dubcivictrust Does Westminster or crown have any continued legal relationship to Dublin castle?

Michael Gove: ‘Net migration is higher than we wish. But we’re tightening the rules and can only do that cos we’re outside the EU’

BREAKING
This will be heartbreaking for many.

Hancock & govt "protective ring" shown as a complete lie by the email below ⬇️ which states that "Covid-19 positive patients" will be discharged from NHS to care homes.

Boris Johnson said "let the bodies pile high"

And they did 😢

Unforgiveable

@PaulJSweeney @reglasgow_web Do Glasgow councillors have a high level of objecting projects that planners have advised for approval? It feels that way.

[Local Studio @localstudio]

@reglasgow_web To be honest @PaulJSweeney you don't help the planners/planning committee. A possibly acceptable design where the concerns of the objection/consultation process have been addressed, still has councillors afraid to go against the public.

[Local Studio @localstudio]

@reglasgow_web Planning process in Glasgow not fit for purpose. Easier to build in Edinburgh.
